The Four Districts (Part-3)

Alexander, though capable of becoming a tyrant, had no intention of becoming one.

He believed the maxim, 'Absolute power corrupts absolutely,' and had already gotten a bit of a taste of it when he killed the boy named Fatrak in haste.

And so he usually refrained from doing things with an authoritarian approach, preferring to get the consent of advisors before acting.

Usually.

But this time he had arbitrarily chosen to demolish the eastern district.

Why?

Why did he take such drastic measures?

Well, there were three main reasons.

One was simply because Alexander was petty and wanted to remove these establishments as a way of making a political statement to all the hostile nobles.

They owned a lot of the property there and it was his way of sending a very simple message- 'I'm coming for you bitch.'
