Chương 861: The King's Negotiation

Alexander could sense the slight dissatisfaction the man had felt about him refusing his marriage offer.

So in return, Alexander then attempted to marry one of his retainer's daughters to Lord Theony's newly made legitimate son Gnaeus.

But the Tibian lord had found those people's status to be either too low, like Menes, Melodias, etc. who were all mercenaries and common people, or too distant to Alexander, like Lord Tikba, Yuusiq, etc. 

Hence later, Alexander came up with a better compromise.

He promised that one of his daughters or even granddaughters could be allowed to be Cambyses's lady in waiting, and if Lord Theony wished, they could also discuss Alexander's son- Philip taking one of Lord Theony's granddaughters as a concubine after the boy grew up a bit.

This promise came as a great joy to Lord Theony, who had been a bit peeved that nobody like Lapitus had managed to get his daughter hitched with Alexander when he could not.
