Alexander would have to agree, the honey filled lure that Miss Linda laid out in front of him was mighty tempting.
She was basically offering to give him everything he wanted without the need for any conflict, only in exchange for siding with her.
Which might have been the only flaw in her plan.
Because the deal was so good that it in fact made Alexander feel it was a bit too good.
This lady in front of him was a bit too manipulative for his liking and would be almost described as 'slimey', while her eldest sister Lady Miranda was as easy to read as an open book, even perhaps a bit naive.
But at least she was honest, as evidenced by how she had not even once bought up the topic of canceling the trade agreement or even modifying it despite the hardships she was facing.
Thus instead of recklessly jumping into Miss Linda's deal, Alexander sought to keep her talking to glean more intel.
