Chapter 840 Sting Operation (Part-2)

Chapter 840

"Offer him the chance to send a bird to the capital by revealing you can covertly get access to the aviary."

"Or if he wants, advise him to choose a trusted slave or servant to ride to the capital. Or to do it himself."

After thinking for a while about how to test Lapitus, this was the plan that Alexander came up with.

Originally, the plan involved letting Lapitus discover the obviously fake papers on his own.

But with Lady Felicia here, the plan got a lot smoother, as there was now no way Lapitus was going to miss it.

And at being handed this chance to expose Lapitus once and for all, Lady Felicia almost literally jumped at the opportunity, crying with a flushed face,

"This is a fantastic plan, my lord! Rest assured. Lapitus will show his true colors the moment he gets the chance. And you will see that I did not lie."

The lady pumped her fists.

But this to Alexander seemed a bit too enthusiastic, like the woman could not wait to get her husband on the crooked hook.

A detail that prompted the man to then further instruct, "Remember Felicia, you are not to in any way push him to send the message."

"Let Lapitus do his thing on his own thing. Your job is to only hand him the papers. Nothing more."This material is rooted in n0velbin★

"If he asks for your opinion, simply say that as his wife, you will support him whatever options he takes."

This order closing the loophole caused Lady Felicia to curse herself a bit since it was probably her too great an enthusiasm that had alerted Alexander to her plans.

But now that she had been exposed, she knew she had to play by the rules,

Hence Lady Felicia dutifully nodded, promising him such.

And with that, the interrogation ended.

Alexander then simply showed the lady out of his room, much to her surprise, bidding his goodbye with the words, "Enjoy the night with your daughter."

An action that left Lady Felicia first and foremost profoundly relieved, as she felt exhilarated at being alive!

There were some points along that long interrogation when Lady Felicia was not so sure she was going to be able to make it through.

So managing to come out of that room with her life still in her hands, as well as all her body parts brought great joy to the woman.

Sure her reputation with Alexander was in tatters, but by now, she could not care about that any less.

Instead, having revealed her true self to him and not being crucified for it brought an extreme sense of relief to Lady Felicia, and suddenly, even the strong lady felt weak on her knees, as the tension that had been coursing through every single part of her body receded, and she softly fell on her knees onto the carpeted corridor, clasping her hands together in joy as her body shivered in pure excitement.

And she remained in that position for some while, as she worked to calm her body and mind.

And in her mind, she replayed the events that had taken place back in that room, slowly and carefully analyzing all that Alexander had said.

Since the clocks were ticking, she did not want to waste a single second trying to get rid of her husband.

So when the house's servants woke their master about their mistress's arrival at this odd time, Lapitus was understandably very alarmed, thinking something untoward had happened.

"Close the door! Quickly! Come here!"

But all these worries were proved to be unfounded when dragging Lapitus to their bedroom, Lady Felicia revealed the true reason for her presence at this point.

"I found these papers in the Pasha's study when I went to check up on Fabiyana just a while ago," The lady here implied that Alexander had spent the night with Fabiyana, before quickly urging Lapitus by handing the documents to the man, "Quick! Look through them! I just grabbed them and did not get a good look because time was so short. But they looked very important."

"If we can deliver them to His Majesty, we will surely greatly reward us."

And at being handed these valuable intel, Lapitus's eyes only bulged bigger and bigger and his heart thumped louder and louder as he went past each line, until his entire body could be seen shaking.

"How... who... Felicia... you..."

Lapitus felt that the alarm he had felt knowing Lady Felicia had come back at such a time was replaced by another very different but equally potent source of panic.

And he so surprised that for a while, he could not even form proper sentences.

"Now is not the time to be asking questions." But adhering to Alexander's instruction, Lady Felicia refused to edge Lapitus in either direction, instead quickly snatching the papers and whispering in a hushed tone,

"I have to go!"

"I came here by lying to the guards and saying that I left something important here."

"But the Pasha will be waking up soon and I want to return these papers as soon as possible."

Lady Felicia then appeared to be ready to rush out of the room, only turning around to add this last bit of advice,

"Whatever you want to do with this intel, decide on your own. But do it quickly! His Majesty does not have much time."

"I will be waiting for you at the mansion after lunch."

"Because of my administrative work, I can get you access to the aviary. From there we can steal a messenger bird to send to Parthenigh."

"But you have to decide today,"

And with this said, Lady Felicia was out, leaving Lapitus alone with the intelligence already branded into his mind.
