"Your Highness… it seems we have developed some misunderstandings among us." Alexander finally began his response with this, gently leaning forward with his strong body,
"Let me be very clear- I harbor no ill will towards the royal family. Neither do I have any wish to take over Adhan. That would be too foolish."
"This place is far more than simply a city. It is the spiritual heart of the empire… the place every citizen looks up to. And only men with royal blood can control it. Anyone else would be a fool to try… inviting the wrath of both gods and men."
Saying this, Alexander strategically paused, looking up to observe the Queen Mother's reaction. And to his pleasure, he found her to be indeed slightly mollified.
So he continued in a softer, more understanding tone,
"Now, yes, over the years, His Majesty and I have had our differences. However they were all over minor things… just simple differences in perspective, it was never about disobedience."
