Edit- In the previous chapter- instead of tradesmen, it should be trade agreement.
Alexander had up until now been listening to Lord Janus's story with mostly a detached interest.
And yes, it was just a story to him.
Sure, he was curious and even a bit concerned after learning about Lady Miranda's troubles, wishing she would be able to extract herself out of it as soon as possible.
But that was really the extent of it.
The reason for this apathy was because Alexander was still a tiny bit peeved about how Lady Miranda had rejected his marriage, not out of any manly ego, but by how this had made him lose out on the abundant resources of the Margrave family.
Thus, he frankly did not care who sat on that family's chair, as long as they were still friendly to Alexander.
