Ptolomy's suggestion made Pasha Farzah give a very quick and frank answer.
"If Your Majesty does this, please let me prepare the army"
Meaning it would be war.
And Ptolomy knew that hence the pursed lips, for the religious significance of the pilgrimage was too sensitive to touch.
He would not only be Amenheraft's enemy then, but of the common populace.
"Then we should do nothing? And let Alexander die?" Though Ptolomy did not exactly like Alexander, it was not to the point he wanted him dead.
Sure that man cheated and swindled a lot of gold and land from him.
But that man was still useful.
He was a resourceful general no doubt about it, and in times like this, Ptolomy was grossly short of good generals.
And a good general was worth more than ten cities.
Because ancient warfare really depended on individual leadership.
Furthermore, Alexander had even proved to be a skilled administrator in the short time he was in Adhan, impressing Ptolomy.
