Inside the sauna, Alexander found himself in a very charming position, sitting in between two very bare, and curvy ladies.

All three of them were sweating quite profusely, but none of them seemed to mind all that much.

Alexander was struck by a sweet smell wafting out of the ladies while the mature women felt the man's strong musky scent invading their nostrils.

It soon made Lady Nanazin unable to resist her desires, and being in a private room, the lady wasted no time in showing her amorous side.

Her hands began to nimbly glide across the man's muscular body, going across the broad, damp chest, then the muscular arms and the thighs, before beginning to edge towards the upturned mast.

While sitting on the opposite side, Lady Parthia was a lot more reserved, scrunching her arms and legs close to each other to appear as small and diminutive as possible.

However, this only led Lady Nanazin to sneer, "What's the point of acting all shy now my lady? Whatever you really do, do you think others will believe anything otherwise?"

The true comment made Lady Parthia grimace a bit, and caused Lady Nanazin's grin to become bigger.

"So you might as well enjoy it! Come on!"

Saying this, the Adhanian queen shamelessly spread her legs, letting the steam hit all her private cracks and crevices, and then even guided one of her man's hands to explore her revealed snowy garden.

The shaved flesh was soft and damp, although he was not sure if the place was wet due to the sauna's sweat or something more lewd.

Whichever it was, Alexander was not complaining and gave the nether lips a light pinch,Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"Ahhh!" causing the lady to let out quite a soul stirring moan before hearing Alexander tell her to behave.

Experience more on empire

Withdrawing his hands from the place, the man then turned to discuss serious matters with Lady Parthia, much to the latter's relief.

The Tibian queen crossed her legs over one another as she focused her attention, and after hearing it all, turned ruminative.

"I do not have anything to say about Lady Linda. What you want to do with her relies too much on luck." She began after a bit of silence, "I personally do not think she has any chance of succeeding. But… I guess it is better than her causing trouble for us. Whatever happens next is up to the gods."

"As for Lady Miranda… hmmm well letting her develop her own forces and govern your land… I guess it could work. But in that case, I would highly recommend you have a very trustworthy steward here! Land is the most corrupting force in the world!"

"In such a case I would not recommend Perikles. The boy is too young to be able to deal with the complex political shenanigans here. Not to mention he lacks any true status. What about Phillips instead my lord?"

Alexander's lips visibly twitched the moment he heard the name.

It was one thing to give power to a weak, youngest of the bunch prince. It was a wholly different matter to give it to a crown prince.

However Lady Parthia pretended to not notice this dilemma and continued to push this name,

"I understand that Philips is already busy overseeing the northern part of Tibias, but this is hardly a real problem. He and Lady Miranda can live separately and meet up once or twice a year just to catch up."

"Many noblemen who attend the royal courts all typically do this. They stay in the capital city alone while the family looks after the fief back home. They usually meet a few months in a year."

Indeed, given the way Lady Parthia said it could make the deal work.

And someone as Philips was certainly a much better suitor than his practically powerless brother, making it far more alluring for Lady Miranda to accept.

'This would make others think twice about looking down on Lady Miranda and make things difficult for her.' Alexander hence mumbled in half agreement,

'No! I cannot!'

However despite the advantages, Alexander quickly decided he would never seriously consider giving Philips such a long leash.

The Tibian royal family was no friend of his.

They were at best his rivals, and worse potential rebels and revolutionaries. He would not forget that just because Lady Parthia was a bit 'chummy' with him.

So gently but firmly shaking his head, Alexander clearly stated, "Although I appreciate the thought, I fear the former crown prince already has too much on his plate back in Tibias. I am not confident it will be wise for him to divide his attention like this."

"Not to mention he also likes men!" This frank addition was spat out by the lady sitting on the opposite side, her dark eyes swimming with jealousy.

The fact that Alexander wanted something from Lady Parthia instead of her irrationally made her peeved.

"..."

Her outburst produced a subtle bout of awkward silence between the other two because they had tacitly decided to avoid that point.

Lady Parthia did so because although her son's preference in bed was an open secret, it was also nothing to wave the flag around. She also personally did not approve of such a thing and, as she had nothing good to say about it, she kept quite about it.

As for Alexander, this was nothing to get worked up about.

Given the political nature of the matter, whether Philips could perform in bed or not was of little point.

In fact, that inability might actually be a plus point in some ways because then Lady Miranda's 'to be born' son would have no competitor.

And if it was not a son or he too unfortunately died in his infancy… well Lord Theony had already told him about the shameful secret of Philip's father bedding his daughter in law to produce a 'grandson'.

Alexander would not mind repeating something similar with Lady Miranda.

Thus completely ignoring Lady Nanazin's remark, he instead turned to reassure Lady Parthia, "I have little interest in your son's preferences. This happens to many men. So if not for the fact that he was already burdened with many responsibilities, I would have indeed supported his union with Lady Miranda."

"..." Lady Parthia had a hard time believing this despite Alexander's very sincere tone. However at least outwardly she appeared grateful, producing a graceful smile and a light nod.

But then quickly added with a twinge of surprised in her voice as if remembering something,

"My lord, didn't you say you wanted Perikles in your senat… parliament representing Tibias's interest? Well if he gets married… how will that work?"

It appeared as if the queen was presenting an insurmountable conundrum.

'Didn't you give the solution yourself?' Alexander however found the answer quite quickly, mumbling so to himself.

Not to mention, the original intention of giving the young prince such a post was to keep him more as a hostage than an actual position.

But given he and Lady Parthia had grown much closer by now, he had no problem seeing the boy depart for Galiosos,

It seemed the real reason the former queen was bringing this up was because she was not yet willing to give up on trying to get a daughter in law for her eldest son.

Understanding this, Alexander did not argue with the lady and tactfully changed the topic, "Then what about Theony… Lord Theony'son? He also seems like a good match."

Lady Parthia quickly replied with a grave shake of her head,

"Lord Theony does not like him that much. I doubt he will like to see his son get such a nice offer. He will object.. not to mention the boy also likes men."

Alexander found the answer to be quite hypocritical and full of excuses.

So he started to lose his patience thinking Lady Parthia's advise was being marred by personal interest.

It was at this time the regal queen somberly chimed,

"Let me save both our time and be frank my lord. I believe I have quite heavily contributed to the success of your campaign. I even dare say you would have hardly gotten anything without me strong arming you. So in light of all my contributions here… I would like Philips to marry Lady Miranda!"

"You! You greedy bit… How dare you?" The one who was most riled up by this was none other than Lady Nanazin, who instantly launched this cry of indignation, "Alexander was the one who won the war, not you! How… could you…"

Hearing the giant, unreasonable demand, her eyes lost all that mirthfulness, and could barely stop herself from outright cursing out aloud.

If Alexander allowed, she would not hesitate to tear her a new one.

"......" The other side also did not bother to defend herself and only waited for Alexander to speak.

"Hahaha! True… true…" It was a good thing that the man himself did not appear at all offended and instead seemed to even agree with Lady Parthia to some extent,

"The tens of square kilometers I have gained is indeed in no small part due to my lady's ideas. And that is why I would like to offer some of the land as a reward to your family. I can make Perikles a Baron... no a Viscount here."

"As a mother, I believe you will always want the best for your children."
