The one most moved by Alexander''s ''new'' creation was not Laykash or even Alexander but Grahtos.


    He did not have the time to praise Alexander because Alexander had quickly moved on to treat Laykash but Grahtos understood the significance of this invention, particrly for horsemen


    His own brother had died from a femur injury and that was how he hade to know firsthand why femur injuries were considered basically death sentences, but now knowing that such a simple cure existed, he felt the future of all horsemen had be brighter.


    ''I will join themander''s group,'' Grahtos made a fateful decision, truly believing that Alexander''s future was limitless.


    The man that upied Grahtos''s mind had finished securing the injured leg with the splint and then checked the boy''s temperature, only to find it scorching hot.


    Laykash was running a terrible fever.


    "Put a wet towel on his head, And get someone to feed him thin gruel," Alexander ordered of the medical personnel who hade to listen to Alexander''s lecture.


    As soon as he was finished, Alexander noticed a waiting soldier whisper something to Grahtos and soon Alexander was informed that the body of the blonde man was here.


    Alexander then followed Grahtos to observe the corpse and as heid his eyes on the dusty, dirty blonde man wearing a gorgeous tunic, his wound by now turning ck and producing small amounts of pus, Alexander asked, "Does Ptolomy know this guy?"


    He asked this because he was curious about the identity of the in man, as he assumed it had to be someone pretty high up the chain ofmand, someone who had Amenheraft''s absolute trust and confidence and was willing to put himself in the striking armor and draw all aggro towards him just to save his king.


    Alexander certainly admired such bravery and hoped one day to gather a group such fiercely loyal to him.


    "I''m sorry,mander. But I wasn''t there when King Ptolomy entered the city." Grahtos said with a lowered head, reminding Alexander.


    "Oh yeah! I forgot you were at the pce." Alexander fixed his mistake with a light smile.


    Then he asked Grahtos, "Please put the corpse in a cold, dry ce. I will disy it to the public the day after tomorrow and so it can''t be allowed to spoil."


    "Disy it to the public?" Grahtos repeated Alexander''s words.


    But when quicklyplied as he pointed out. "Commander, how about the dungeon? It''s cool there."


    ''It''s also damp there,'' Alexandermented to himself.


    But he soon thought of a workaround and gave the order, "Tie the body very tightly with dry clothes. Use multipleyers so no moisture can enter. And then put the body on the bed in an empty cell."


    "I will do it personally," Grahtos reassured.


    Alexander was pleased by this and then he issued a differentmand, "Grahtos, before you do that, take half my bodyguards to rece the current guards. Those guys are tired so feed them and then order them to sleep. They will have the night shift."


    "Yes,mander!" Grahtos saluted.


    "And order the outer city gate to be closed immediately. Under no circumstances is it to be opened again. I don''t care if Ramuh himselfes in person to demand the gates be opened. Before tomorrow morning, before they receive explicit orders from me and me only, the gates will remain closed. If a messengeres, tell him to either send the letter under the door or wait till I wake up."


    "If the gate is opened at night, the guards there will be personally judged by me." Alexander threatened some grave consequences and then let Grahtos leave,


    With all this done, Alexander decided it was time to have lunch.


    He invited Cambyses and a few of the leaders who were not too busy, and with each of them carrying their own rations of bread, cheese, and meat, along with some wine from Agapios''s personal collection, made their way to the royal dining room.


    As they pushed open the door, here the assemge ran into a bit of an awkward situation as they had seemingly caught the royal family having their lunch.


    Alexander, the leader of the group found out the eightdies had cleaned themselves up and changed out of their old, dirty clothes, which made their elegance truly flourish.


    Like how the dust covering jewel can be washed away to reveal the pristine shine below, these head-turning beauties were now in their most glorious bloom and they were a stunning sight to behold.


    There was Hellma''s mother- the queen mother with her adult charms, wearing a white strapless one-piece that snuggly bound her bountiful breasts.


    Ptolomy''s wife wore a ck conservative full-sleeve dress, with only her neck and beautiful corbones being allowed to enjoy the light, while she let her long curly hairs drape over her shoulders.


    Her three daughters all wore matching outfits-  a gorgeously decorated white gown with beautiful red rubies studded on them, and their raven ck hair tied up in a bun with an ornate silver hairpin holding it in ce.


    Hellma wore a simr one-piece like her mother, with her red hair being styled straight with a simple hairpin at the ck, while her mother''s fluffy red hair decorated her head and shoulders.


    And atst, there were the twins, who had changed to a pure white chilton with ck onyx pearls embroidered on them, that seemed to make their unblemished, chocte skin glow in contrast and make it appear even more prominent.


    Seeing such a concentration of beauties in one ce, momentarily, knocked Alexander''s concentration out as he became momentarily dazed.


    But he regained it just a momentter, as he shed a charming smile, "Your Majesty, it is quite the fortune that he can meet under these auspicious circumstances. We will likely be working closely together for a very long, and what better way is there to deepen our rtionship than to have a meal together."


    Finished saying this, Alexander then promptly plopped down on a chair and gestured his followers to follow, without any permission from anyone.


    This tant disregard for royal etiquette was a power y from Alexander, designed to disy to the royal family the change in the power structure that had urred and to destroy the innate haughtiness of the royal family, thus making them treat him as one of his equals."


    To achieve this, Alexandermitted grave crimes such as entering the dining room while the royal family was eating, interrupting the royal family''s meal, sitting at the same table as them without permission, and inviting guests to join them without their consent, just to name a few.


    And although this caused a frown to form on all but one man''s face, who had learned his lesson when Alexander hit him, because the man of the house- the king had not said anything about his table being shared with uncultured brutes, thedies, although very angry, chose to keep their mouth shut.


    They had also been told the full story of how the man, no the boy, had managed to steal the city right under Amenheraft''s nose and knew he had the muscle to do anything he wanted here, at least for the time being.


    Alexander relished at the sight of these snobbish pricks wanting to curse at him, but being forced to hold their tongue and decided to poke them a bit, "Your Majesty, I heard Adhania was experiencing a dreadful drought and its people were dying like flies. But seeing the type of food on your te, I am relieved to know that is not the case."


    The lunch these royals were having consisted of full roasted chicken,rge thick pieces of fish, soft, luxurious white bread, and many types of vegetables, all likely cooked in butter orrd or something simr by the smell of it.


    ''And this guy says he is fighting for the people. What crap!'' Alexander sneered in disdain.


    Alexander such openly mocking him right in front of his family both embarrassed and angered Ptolomy and his family, but had no choice but to grow a thick skin and smile shamelessly, "Hehe,mander, this is just an exception. They had been locked up in their cells for days without any food and this is for them to recover their energy."


    ''Bullshit! The only meal they missed might have been today''s breakfast.'' Alexander scolded the king in his head as he could clearly see thedies were although a bit exhausted but mostly fine.


    Spending days inside that damp, cold, and moist ce with no food can''t produce the rosy cheeks Alexander could clearly see.


    And as Alexander guessed, everything Ptolomy said was untrue as though Amenheraft had captured the women for rebelling against the crown, he had taken special care to make sure even in captivity, these women''s basic necessities such as good food, nice beds, and proper clothes were met.


    They were royals after all and treating them asmon criminals would tarnish the reputation of the royal family itself.


    And this was why Ptolomy had found the women in rtively healthy condition with even their attire being quite gorgeous.


    "Haha, my apologies, my apologies." Alexander let out a loudugh at Ptolomy''s shabby excuse.


    And then got to the core of the issue. "It is vital for the royal family to eat and be healthy. After all, Amenhearaft will be attacking the city in about a month. And we will need the royal family to lead us to battle against him."


    By the end sentence, Alexander''s eyes had turned into a crescent as he sent a prative reminder of the imminent danger to Ptolomy.
