The small number of people gathered inside the dimly lit room would not have been any strangers to Alexander if he were to see them.

And it was the old wizened man who took the charge, sanctioning the attack and firmly declaring, "We will use our men in the mansion to commit the deed. While at the same time, Lord Parker will launch an attack on Alexander's men from the other side, distracting them and thus preventing them from coming to his aid," as the man then sharply slanted his eyes towards the angelic looking woman, "Linda, let your husband know. The timely must be perfect."
Lord Nolan made sure to put an emphatic emphasis on the last bit, as he feared that otherwise, Alexander's men, after hearing of their lord's demise, might become enraged and choose to take their anger out on them, blindly slaughter everyone in the mansion as revenge.
