Chapter 993 A Day in Alexander\'s Life

While a warm, wet sensation would regularly tingle his lower half, delivered sometimes by his wives, and sometimes by the maids in the house.

These maids were actually slaves and trained for especially this purpose.

But Alexander had not procured them himself.

All these beautiful women had been gifted to him by the various nobles as congratulations for his triumph over Tibias.

Even the king, Ptolomy sent him a former pair of sisters to commemorate the occasion.

Alexander \'re-gifted\' some of these desirable women to his retainers and subordinates as rewards since he had little interest in them.

But he could not do so to all of them, lest he appear too ungrateful.

It was basic social etiquette that whenever someone gifted you something, you accepted it with a smiling face and did not throw it out immediately, no matter how small or insignificant it was.

thus Alexander could only do the next best thing.

He let go of as many slaves as possible with the excuse that he already had too many to house in his home, only keeping a selected few from those high ranking nobles that he had to keep happy.

And since there was little need for them to engage in the household chores as there were already enough staff and neither did Alexander need them working in his various shops as he was already flushed with labor, he had them for their intended purposes.

After all, since they were already eating his food and staying under his roof, why should they not make themselves useful?

Thus most mornings, instead of a loud, annoying alarm clock or a crude human voice, Alexander had a gentle sucking sensation teasingly wake him up, the technique varying by the girl chosen at that time.

While the girls did this, they would over time even come to recognize the girl Alexander had slept the prior night, as most of the time Alexander\'s organ would still be glazed with their dried juices, so the taste was always varied.

And once properly woken up, Alexander would thne either take that very girl for a morning workout, or choose another from a list of girls waiting by the next room.

Sometimes he would even do this by lining them up to see which one caught his fancy that morning.

In that line up, there would be a redhead with a buxom figure gifted by Jamider (Earl) Tikba, a lithe, little petite devil that weighed almost nothing given by Talukder (Viscount) Prantik, the two sisters that Ptolomy had sent who had pale, flawless porcelain like skin, a slender, flexible, tall brunette gifted by a Talukder (Viscount) who could bend and twist like a gymnast, and a black, stocky build, strong girl presented by another Jamider (Earl), who got wet really easily, with trickles of water starting to run down her thigh almost every time Alexander looked at her.

These girls would usually be naked, or at best wearing stylish lingerie in various colors of red, blue, black, etc, that showed more than they hid.

And as they entered, they would show their both frontal and rear assets, taking various poses to entice Alexander.

Sometimes they would even bend over to give Alexander a \'better\' look, accompanied by various lewd wants, listening to some of which would something make even Alexander\'s lips twitch a bit.

These words were obviously taught to them by their slave trainers and Alexander had to admit, the sight of those pink slits and twitching buds and the sweet moans these curvy, healthy women made were quite effective at spurring a man\'s lust.

So much so that he would have multiple of these women, using them roughly to sate his desire and work out a sweat.

Their actions also let Alexander peek into the lives of the native nobles, for many of which, this was as natural occurrence as the sun rising in the east and setting in the west.

It even made even Alexander strongly suspect that the reason Adhania was in such decline was due to being surrounded by such vices.

After all, even someone as ambitious and determined as Alexander occasionally had the brief want of leaving all those hard decisions and difficult potential conquests to his subordinates, while he stayed back and just enjoyed himself at the moment- eating the best food, drinking the sweetest wine, and tasting the finest flesh.

Alexander could not even dare dream of being woken up in such a style just a few years ago.

And he did find the experience almost intoxicating.

And so if this was the case for even someone like him, the temptation for the natives could easily be imagined.

There were indeed reasons for the decline of this country.

Once the girls would get a pumping of Alexander\'s spunk, their tunnels able to barely contain it, and their fair asses became red with hard spankings, After would finally get up from bed, feeling like a king, feeling like he once again understood why people pursued power, it was for unimaginable luxuries like this.

Then he and most of the time his wives would exercise for the next two hours, working out in a gym he had at the back of his house.

The place had various weights, a few very medieval style bench presses made of wood and steel, and even a punching back packed with sand.

After working on those, they would then complete the routine with several laps around the perimeter of the house, before taking a refreshing bath and then sitting down to have a hearty breakfast at the dining area.

This would usually consist of several types of bread, wholewheat and white, cheese, butter, braised meats such as chicken, beef, venison, and mutton, full, boiled eggs, some kind of sweet dessert, various seasonal fruits, be they whole, cut, or juiced, and of course good wine.

Sometimes however Alexander would have breakfast alone.

Because by this time, the sun would have mostly risen, and everyone in the city would already be at work.

Meaning it would occasionally be time for the other ladies to head to work.

If they, however, did not go to work, they would sometimes accompany Alexander\'s study to practice their language and math skills, or simply talk about the going on in the city.

So Cambyses would tell the various troubles the city guards recently came across the city, or the type of crimes being reported to her.

She would even sometimes retell the various complaints people brought to her.

Gelne would inform him of the sales of her clothing brand and the prosperity of the market, such as how optimistically the merchants feel about the future.

Ophenia would inform him of the going on at the temple, of its growth, of the training of the priests, of the building of new temples, and of the various followers who would come to her seeking a myriad of things.

Be they relief from malady, solace from heartbreak due to loss, blessing for a new business, god\'s protection during a long journey, etc., etc.

And lastly, the woman with the least things to report, Mean would inform Alexander of the ongoings of the house, and what the various maids and slaves did.

However, if the girls were too busy for such gossip to take place, then Alexander would do either of two things.

One, he would hold various parliament meetings at the senate building he had constructed, attended by nobles from various places, where he would decree various laws and policies.

But if he did not do this, then two, he would spend the morning with his children, teaching.

The youngest of the two brothers and sisters- Afsan and Ophenia were still too young, only two they did not need to attend, but his eldest son Philip was almost three by now, while Alexandria was reaching four.

They were certainly made to sit in front of Alexander with ink and paper.

But Alexander did not actually teach them like a traditional teacher.

For that, they had an old, learned slave that Alexander had purchased.

No, with Alexander, they mostly solved various puzzles and played different riddle games.

They might be as simple as organizing different colored balls into their respective slots or reassembling a puzzle in the shape of an animal or fruit, to letting them place the correct shape in the correct layout.

Alexander would also play with them in the courtyard behind, till it came time for lunch.

After that was done, Alexander would usually go for his journal, which he started writing because he was having a hard time keeping track of things, to see his schedule for tomorrow.

And then based on that, Alexander would either work on his own, such as designing various new contraptions, reading Camius\'s intelligence report, settling various disputes between citizens, going on a tour of the city with his bodyguards, or just thinking on how to solve various problems.

With that night would crawl in, and with a supper and then the obligatory bed time activities, Alexander would pass out.
