Chapter 823 Bullying Lady Felicia

Chapter 823 Bullying Lady Felicia

In regard to Alexander's answer, Lady Felicia made it appear as if Lapitus had made no contribution to speak of in administering the city, dressing him up as a wastrel who dumped all the work to his poor wife while he went off to enjoy himself with drinking and feasting.

And it was both true and false.

True because Lapitus did indeed leave much of the day to day operations to Lady Felicia.

But also false because it was Lady Felicia who urged him to do so, fearing he would bite into her credit.

'My father taught me how to manage these things. Let me!' She insisted, then enticed her husband by saying, 'If we do a good job and not mess up, the Pasha might give us the city to rule.'

And seeing Lady Felicia's alacrity and knowing his own shortcomings, Lapitus graciously stepped down, though not before adding, 'If there is something I can help with, let me know immediately.'

It went without saying that Lady Felicia never asked for Lapitus's help, even when she could have used it, all so that she could stealthily discredit him.

Though she did make use of the resources Lapitus made available to her to aid in her endeavors, such as instructing all of his subordinates to help her out in any they could, be it acting as her bodyguards when she went out, delivering messages, keeping an eye on things and carrying out the various orders she made.

Alexander, hearing Lady Felicia's low remark on her showed neither approval nor disapproval, only humming,?"Hmmm… is that so?" and simply continued in a disinterested tone, "How is your husband? What's he doing nowadays? I have been too busy recently and was unable to keep in touch with him."

After taking over the city, Alexander had been inundated with many jobs, while many of the military officer Lapitus's jobs were taken over by Alexander's own garrisoned men.

At first, he had wanted to let the Tibians rule themselves, but this produced some unforeseen friction between the army and the native militia, as each vied for power.

Not to mention, there was already bad blood between the two given they had just fought a war and many had died at the other's hand.

Thus, Alexander had put Lapitus and his men in a ceremonial position for the time being, heading patrols and other menial tasks, while promising to hand them back the city once he returned to Zanzan.

In regard to Alexander's query, Lady Felicia replied, "Lapitus," making sure to use his name, "mostly heads the patrol of the guards. He leaves in the morning, spends the whole day with the men, and then comes back around dusk totally drunk and plastered. That's all he does every day, every week." She succinctly retold.

And though this might sound like a dark spot on Lapitus's record, it was actually very common and nothing to be alarmed at.

So Alexander silently nodded.

And then dropped a bombshell of a question seemingly out of nowhere, as turning to face the mature, buxom woman, he asked with a smirk, "How is the bedroom sex? Good?"

"....." Lady Felicia was at first stunned into silence hearing this, and then, instead of being ashamed, her face went white as her mind was filled with alarm, for she bolted her head towards the balcony, her eyes widened.

She really hoped she had heard Alexander wrong, and really, really hoped that none of the children heard it, and most of all she hoped the two nannies were not aware of it.

Because although Lady Felicia had no qualms about adultery, it had to be very clearly noted that she was not a promiscuous woman.

In fact, she liked to think she had quite high standards for herself and did not go spreading her legs to anyone, only to those who could greatly benefit her.

This came as a result of the conservative nature of Tibias, which made it so that no matter her own proclivities, she certainly would never openly discuss such things in broad daylight in front of so many people.

"Hahahaha," And seeing this reaction, Alexander softly chuckled in amusement, reassuring, "Do not worry, the children won't understand anything. And the nannies will pretend like we don't exist."

'That's not the point!' But instead of being happy at the consolation, Lady Felicia snapped like so inside her mind.

This was about shame and modesty, and the norms of society.

So externally, producing a slightly forced smile, she pretended to be coy, "My lord… that's… Fabiyana is here!"

There was even a slight tinge of red on the woman.

But Alexander did not seem to the get memo, as lightly waving his palm, he posed,

"So what? Isn't Fabiyana supposed to be my mistress? She will soon be experiencing these things herself. So what's wrong if she hears it? It might even be better for her like this so that she can gain some experience beforehand."

Alexander made poor a point, as he certainly had no intention of such a union with Fabiyana.

'I'm her mother!' While Lady Felicia shouted this in her mind.

The noble lady of course did not think Alexander was dense enough to not understand what she was implying.

Which made the entire thing all the more infuriating as she flushed and swung her head, avoiding eye contact with Alexander and refusing to answer.

While in her mind, she cursed Alexander and his past fourteen generations for producing such an indecent rascal.

Seeing Lady Felicia go quiet, Alexander of course did not back down.

He was not going to let off the hook so easily.

Also, he was not asking this just to tease her, for he had a very good reason behind it.

"So did you have sex Lapitus in the last six months? How many times? How was it? What did you do? Tell me everything, I want to know,"

Hence, as if Alexander thought that Lady Felicia was stupid to get the question, he blatantly and as explicitly as possible poked her again.

And seeing that taunting smirk that graced his face, Lady Felicia again had to endure great patience, for she very much wanted to burst out, 'Do you that kind of fetish? Do you like to see other men and women do it while sitting in a corner and jerking off? You fucking pervert! Die!'

But the thing that stopped her was that the man before her was her boss, someone who paid her paycheck of 5,000 ropals a month and held great sway on every aspect of her life.

If she wanted the things he had, she had to oil his ass.

So pushing her inherent shame down, Lady Felicia pronounced in a shy, low voice that she was sure would not reach the balcony,

"Lord Alexander, this is a highly inappropriate question. It is a private matter between us husband and wife. It is only natural…."

She trailed off, flushing her face harder.

And seeing the lady's diminutive reaction, Alexander for the first time was a bit taken back.

He did not think the woman before him could pull off such an alluring expression, so embarrassed yet so sexy.

It was certainly a spectacle to behold.

And this made Alexander want to bully her even more, as he smirked,

"Heh! This is probably the first time I have seen you call Lapitus husband. Does he mean that little to you?"

"....." Lady Felicia did not answer, only keeping her head low, her thoughts only known to her.

But how could Alexander let Lady Felicia take refuge in her silence?

So pushed her again, though a bit more gently this time, "Okay, fine you do not have to tell me all the details."

He sounded magnanimous, though frankly, he did not care about knowing what Lapitus did in his bedroom the first time, as he instead insisted,

"But at least tell me the number, how many times did you guys do it?"

And as he said this, one of his hands slithered across the underneath of the table and found its mark, causing Lady Felicia to involuntarily shudder as she tried to close her legs but was too slow, for the large paw had grabbed hold of her snowy privates through the dress and clamped onto it tightly and fiercely.

Lady Felicia understood that not giving an answer was not possible.

"Once… or twice… my lord," Hence, the lady finally clenched out the answer.

"Was it once? Or twice?" But the unambiguous nature of it made Alexander dissatisfied, as evidenced by how Lady Felicia felt those fingers squeeze around her lower lips.

And then not waiting for an answer heard, "Why so low? Once or twice in six months? Is Lapitus not capable enough? Or are you a prude?" The whisper next to her ear was musky and masculine.

But in much contrast to the romantic nature of the act, the contents of the action made the lady infuriated with rage.

'Why does he care?' She fumed, as keeping silent with bubbling anger, Lady Felicia had to exercise great control not to gnash her teeth right in front of him, though in her mind, she was certainly doing it, and with such strength that it risked the teeth shattering from fury.

And then Alexander took things to the next level!
