Thank you so much! I'm glad you liked it. You know, you all are such an inspiration to me. Do you know the Chinese Proverb: "When you go back home, beat your wife. You may not know why, but she does."? It'a where I took the idea from...^_^
Ha-ha-ha, I never heard of this proverb, very inspirational. I think most proverbs, Chinese including, can be an inspiration. My favorite one (Chinese) is "Even a monkey occasionally falls from a tree." It glaringly asks to be used for some story relating to ATG who never was defeated....
You are really good, hon! I can't believe you claim to just start out in writing. This is clever and funny written and I was in stitches over Bagoas' book title. :-) This is such a likely scenario - Hephaistion blaming Alexander although he doesn't even know for what. But there sure is SOMEthing, as usual. :-) One way or the other Alexander deserves punishment - if not for what he did that day, than for what he did the day before or will the next. :-) Way to go, Hephaistion. There is no better day than the present to manipulate the King. :))) Love it.
OMG! G!!!! this is just magnificent! and I am sure that Alexander had always had something to be sorry for! And who else than Hephaestion to discover a way to trick his king!
Thank you so much! *lol* yes, infact Alex is instantly worried when he sees Phai's face: he surely is used to the whole pattern "I misbehave - Phai finds out - he punishes me"

Well, often.
Ok, sometimes.
I'll reformulate:
This time, I followed a wise advice!

Hephaistion really knows Alexander, doesn't he?
I almost felt sorry for Alexander :)

Also, I like these phrases, the veritable bull's eye (exclamation marks are mine) -
"As Hephaistion entered the hall, as usual, every eye fell upon him.(!) He acted (!), as usual, as if he didn’t notice.(!)"
"Bagoas quickly left to add a note on a draft of the book he was writing: “How to Manipulate a King and Live Happily Hereafter”. - hilarious!
Frankly, I feel like quoting the whole story here, sentence by sentence. :)
Please, write more!
