Even someone as ambitious and shrewd as Mikaya found it hard to bear all the things that were being asked of her by Alexander- they were too demanding.
Thus soon, she began to feel a stinging headache coming on just thinking about them.
In addition, Mikaya was also getting quite tired given how late it had become, as proven by she had to begin to fight off several yawns.
Thus using the effect of the oncoming drowsiness as an excuse, the lady curtly postponed the talks for now, "Good night, Lord Alexander. Let's talk another time."
Alexander too did not object or try to stop her, realizing there was no point in rashly pushing her. What she needed now was time.
So silently watching the lady dress herself, he bid her goodbye with a smile and two simple pieces of advice.
One- to make her decision by tomorrow noon.
Two- that she should clean herself thoroughly before leaving in case Shahel suspected anything.
