Alex picked up the wine jar and continued to pour more wine for Mr. Shah and himself.
From his point of view he could not help but feel odd that this Mr. Shah was extremely timid, yet he was still constantly asking him questions about the country and the Emperor which was in itself contradictory.
The man seemed nervous about everything except the very topics that should have made him most cautious.
Mr. Shah downed the wine Alex had poured in one desperate gulp.
He could not help but ask with some urgency that he failed to hide.
"Alex, is what you said true? Or is this merely your speculation and guessing? I need to understand the basis of your claims."
Alex took another sip of wine and said somewhat drunkenly "It is not exactly guessing. I observed many signs over these months that all point to the same conclusion.
Anyway let us not discuss the Emperor anymore. Let us continue drinking see this wine is quite delicious. Come on let us drink another cup."
