Alexandros rushes in, shamed at his late arrival

I see that I have missed much, and I extend my apologies - there were urgent matters that required my attention. As for the future of Alexandria, nobody denies the fact that it must one day become part of the Arche but I do not believe that such a glorious city should be reduced to rubble in the process. The money to be gained in the looting of the city pales in comparison to the profits we would reap if we delayed the invasion a few years and then sent an occupying force. Why should we fight for the same city twice?

I also agree with Polyxenidos Lykikos' suggestion regarding political succession. It is in everyone's best interests for the Basileus to be approved by all. Therefore, I second Edict 2.3.

Alexandros sits, and reminds himself to finish his paperwork earlier next time
