"...!!!..." Alexander's lips violently twitched hearing the Queen Mother's statement, his eyes shooting towards the two ladies.
This news was so shocking and out of nowhere that he almost involuntarily cried out for an explanation, and only managed to stop himself at the last moment, contenting himself by musing with great surprise,
'What! Lady Inayah had son with Pasha Farzah? I thought they were only 'friends'? So where did this… but… hmmm well, Lady Inayah's enthusiasm does seem a bit odd. Why is she throwing such a huge tantrum over another man's boy she only met a couple of times?'
'And her hatred for Mirzah does seem far more than merely political. It appears much more personal. But if the Queen Mother's words were to be indeed taken as true… all this could indeed be explained perfectly.'
After all, Alexander found it inconceivable that the Queen Mother would make such a bombastic remark carelessly without any basis.
