Chapter 833 Awakening
"But before that happens, I want you to be very very careful with your words husband. Do not let anything let slip to anyone." The original content can be pinpointed to n0v3lbin•
Lady Felicia only really called Lapitus husband when she needed something out of him, like now, where she urged,
"And remember, if the Pasha ever asks you if you liked his gift, say yes and that you had brought a similar one some time ago."
"This will help me return the item without raising any suspicion."
Yes.
This was the punchline behind this so very long winded scheme.
lightsnοvεl For this was how Lady Felicia intended to foil Alexander's threat.
Now that she had instructed Lapitus this, even if Alexander was to throw his reputation to the winds and question him, he would still likely fail.
And Lapitus, who was currently being distracted by his wife's loving caress on a very particular part of his body, only had the mindset to groan and nod, preventing him from thinking and asking unnecessary questions.
But he did make this additional suggestion, "Why don't we free Zulkain? We can see that it was in celebration of Lord Pasha's victory. That will help us get rid of the problem easily, won't it?"
This was a good plan and it was not like Lady Felicia had not thought about that.
But Lady Felicia found it foolish to let Zulkain out of her sight when she was under suspicion.
Who knew what this girl would tattle to whomever?
Lady Felicia would rather follow the maxim of 'Keep your friends close, your enemies closer'.
In fact, Lady Felicia thought of going one step further, pretending to free the maid but in reality surreptitiously killing her.
But found it hard to execute while avoiding Alexander's eyes.
Thus she denied it, simply saying, "No. Doing anything like that would simply raise the topic. Keep things as is and let me handle it."
Hence, with all this preparation, when Alexander invited Lapitus to a feast, although Lady Felicia's sixth senses were tingling, and her instinct told her to not let her husband attend it, she was unable to stop him, as her rationality trumped her superstitious heart.
'It will be alright. I have repeatedly urged him to not say anything.' She consoled, while reasoning, 'Besides, if Lapitus doesn't go, it might be seen as greatly disrespectful.'
Thus when Lapitus did not return home that night, a news given to her by a messenger, Lady Felicia did not panic.
It was something that Lady Felicia had already guessed would happen given the nature of these celebrations.
But as it could be guessed, it would have indeed been better for Lady Felicia to stop her husband, as Gelene would come to report to Alexander the next morning with a large grin on her face.
"Master! It's done!" The black lady cried elatedly the moment she entered the room after the knock and found Alexander to be relaxing by the window of his study, basking in the spring sun while crunching on some nuts.
Following which he then turned to properly scan the two girls who had been standing there trying to look as confident and charming as possible.
Their hair, which was most likely a wig, had been done just like how Lady Felicia usually did it, their cheeks were powdered a rosy red and their lips painted a very certain red that Alexander was sure she had seen Lady Felicia wear, showcasing Gelene's intense eye for details.
Although their height and build did not exactly superimpose with that lady, if Alexander was Lapitus, he would not find it difficult to think these girls looked very much like his wife.
Finished observing them, Alexander then slowly got up from his chair, "What are your names, ladies?" while politely asking them this.
And the fair and ebony girl respectively replied quickly in a clear, sweet voice,
"My stage name is Saima, my lord."
"And mine is Zara, my lord."
The reason the girls mentioned the particular phrase 'stage name' was because once a girl entered this industry, it was customary for them to take a new name.
It was done, one- as a way to shield one's 'true' self from this socially frowned upon profession.
But more than that, it was done so that they could choose a much more sexy name.
Because you would not believe what some of the girls would be originally called by their parents.
Back in Thesos, in a clear showcasing of how illiterate the society was, Alexander had even seen one girl be referred to simply as 'Woman' when translated from Thesian to English.
Thus, this initiation gave the girls a chance to choose a far more flirty and even exotic name than their birth ones.
Alexander hearing the name nodded in acknowledgement and then placing himself on a nearby couch, he gestured to the two, "Please! Sit."
To which the two girls immediately hopped to the opposite side of the couch as fast as they could, while from the other side, Gelene brought a pitcher of wine and some glasses, before sitting next to Alexander and serving him some.
So taking of his wife, Alexander then got to the meat of the issue immediately, leaning forward eagerly as he posed in a very serious tone,
"Now, tell me, exactly what happened. Start from the very beginning. And do not leave even the tiniest thing that man might have said while he was with you two."
Since Gelene had felt that it would be better for Alexander to hear from the horse's mouth, he could bet it was probably something so unbelievable that she had felt this was the best way to remove any doubt that might occur.
And as the girls recounted their encounter, how they got Lapitus drunk, how he mistook them for his wife, and subsequent various conversions they had with him in his fugue like state, Alexander's eyes only got serious and more serious, until by the end, it was blazing!
