章節 94: Menes's Love and Alexander's Day

Alexander found himself in a bit of a pickle with the request made by Menes.

Because technically Gelene- the ebony beauty was not his, she was Cambyes's, as he had promised the girl her freedom to own property.

Though it would be hard to explain this to Menes, who might think Alexander was just making excuses, as legally, in the eyes of the law, Gelene was Alexander's property, as was Cambyses.

So, Alexander thought of a different plan, "Menes, it seems you have not understood my question."

"When I meant was, do you love her so that you will respect her wishes and let her decide if she decided to be with you? Or will you keep her as a slave? A sex object to vent your lust?"

"I…." Menes appeared stumped by the question as he asked himself, 'Do I want her as my willing wife or slave?'

Gelene was always 'nice' to him, so up until now, he had assumed she would just come when he called her.
