Chapter 837 Lady Felicia's Interrogation (Part-1)

As the string of questions were laid bare right in front of Lady Felicia, she suddenly felt the room around her turn surprisingly cold.

And she could tell that she had not been called here to lay with Alexander.You'll discover the inception of this content at n0v@lbin★

This meeting was clearly designed as a trap and she had been got!

The queries being so openly targeted showed it.

And then she heard Alexander repeat, "Tell me the truth, Felicia. And nothing will happen. I simply want to hear you say it."

The voice was very impatient and accommodating.

But how could Lady Felicia believe it?

This was a favored technique of those wishing to extract an answer, to show hope, to show that it would only get worse if they hid it, and thus coax the other party into revealing what they knew.

Lady Felicia herself had sometimes used the technique to get something out of her half brothers and sister.

But once she had the information, well then it depended.

She could do whatever she liked, but most of the times, she acted based on the revealed intel.

And Lady Felicia very much feared that what her confessing might cause Alexander to do.

For she knew what she hid.

Thus she came to this conclusion, 'Since he already knows, there is no need to add insult to injury. I will simply shut up and pretend to know nothing. Anything I say will simply add to his knowledge.'

"My...lord... this... I... what is this paper! I have never lied to you." Lady Felicia pretended to be shocked and even added that artful stammer.

And seeing it Alexander was astounded as ever.

Even now, when he made it so clear to her, this woman refused to bulge.

This reminded him of a famous from the movie- Diary of a Wimpy Kid-

Deny, deny, deny. Even if they find out, never ever admit to anything! Deny, deny, deny.

This woman truly had grit, Alexander would have to give her that.

But grit or not, Alexander was determined to break this woman one way or the other.

However, before he got physical, Alexander gave one last warning, "I will give you one last chance, Felicia. Tell me the truth!"

"Did Lapitus really hurt you?" He began with this small question.

"Of course! I swear by the gods! Why would you ever doubt me, my lord?" And Lady Felicia did not have any hesitation in violating even the taboo about the gods, as she lied through her teeth.

"......" And seeing this, it took a lot of effort on Alexander's part to not simply walk up and slap the woman unconscious.

For although Alexander abhorred violence against the fairer sex, he really believed the woman before him deserved it.

At that point, you could hit over it as much as you, and even though the insides would turn to mush, the outer skin would remain pristine.

Alexander wondered where the woman learned of this, for this was not something a woman of this time was supposed to know.

But that was perhaps what made it all the more impressive.

But impressive or not, Alexander still had to break her.

"*Sigh*, oh Felicia!" And upon realizing that the soft, easy way was not going to cut it, Alexander could not help but at last ruefully shook his head, saying, "I really did not want to do this! Do not say that I did not give you enough opportunities."

Snap.

And before Lady Felicia had that really meant, Alexander's fingers suddenly snapped, and immediately, as if like a magic summons, from the adjacent room four burly men, dressed in full armor themselves emerged.

Lady Felicia did not need to wonder the reason for their appearance, for as if already rehearsed, the four then started to beeline towards the woman with great purposeful strides, radiating a very menacing air.

"Lord... Pasha! Alexander!"

It was a move that caused Lady Felicia to at last scream out in alarm, as she quickly stood up from the chair in an attempt to resist whatever was going to happen to her.

But how could one, fair lady contend against four strong men?

Even if Alexander were to take her palace, he would not have been able to escape their grasp.

Thus these athletic men caught Lady Felicia even before she could start a fight and made her return to her seat.

All the while Lady Felicia squirmed like a fish caught in a net, screaming at the top of her voice,

"My lord! Pasha! What are you doing? This... please stop this! Have you gone insane?"

But Alexander paid no heed to this, as neither did the men, for then they proceeded to make Lady Felicia stretch both her arms out and place them on the long table, just like they had been instructed to.

While from that back room finally came a small team of nurses, recognizable by their white attire, who stopped to stand beside Lady Felicia, holding a large metal bowl filled with ice water.

"Lord Pasha... you..." And with so many people surrounding her, Lady Felicia finally understood there was no point in pointlessly struggling.

So she stopped, instead turning her efforts to try and negotiate.

"Are you wishing to torture me to get a confession," The lady's voice was cold with a tinge of mockery.

Seeing the bowl of water, she guessed Alexander was trying to waterboard her, and she felt determined enough to be confident that she would not break.

"Heh! Something like that!" And Alexander did not deny it, as he produced a disdainful scoff.

"......." To which Lady Felicia only produced a fiery look in her eyes.

One could withstand a lot of torture if they had something to believe in.

And Lady Felicia believed she truly had a lot to hide.

Even when everything was already in the open, Lady Felicia still refused to admit it out of her own mouth.

She was that stubborn.
