Chap 10 (My Consort)
Hephaistion gently ran his fingers over the necklace that Cleitus had given him. *By the gods how he missed that man.* Looking in the mirror he could see dark lines under his eyes. He had barely slept these last few days, with worrying if Alexander was going to have Cleitus excuted any minute. Shaking his head Hephaistion went to the bed picking up the clothes Alexander had picked out for him, Alexander his husband. He had to laugh at that if it had been a year or even a few months ago he would have been extremely pleased at the prospect that Alexander wanted him to be his consort, proving that Alexander loved him more then anything. But now the only reason Alexander was doing this was so Cleitus couldn’t have him. Hephaistion was so in thought he didn’t see Roxane at the door.
Roxane stood in the door way watching the man that was to be her husbands consort. She had always envied Hephaistion for the love he shares with the king. The love she could only hope to find. “Excuse me my lord,” she whispers startling the man.
“Roxane, by the gods you startled me,” Hephaistion says turning to face the queen.
“Alexander wanted me to tell you he will escort you to dinner,” she says turning to leave.
“Roxane, wait.........I’m,” Hephaistion began only to interrupted by Roxane.
“I don’t blame you, I know it isn’t your choice. Alexander can be jealous and possesive, you should know this.”
“I do, I’m just sorry so many people have to be hurt by it,” Hephaistion stated.
“You should hurry, Alexander well be here soon,” Roxane stated leaving the room.
Clietus sat in the dining hall next to Cassander and Crateros. Roxane, Alexander’s barbarian wife was all ready there and seated on the other side of Cassander. “What do you think Alexander’s big announcement is going to be about,” asked Cassander.
“I don’t know but I bet it has to do with Hephaistion,” Cleitus growls out.
No sooner then he said that did Alexander and Hephaistion walk into the room. Hephaistion looked at Cleitus and gave him a soft smile before turning his attention back to Alexander. Alexander sat at the head of the table with Hephaistion to his right and Ptomely to his left. “I’m glad you could all be hear,” Alexander began. “I have a very important announcement to make,” he continued looking around at all the people there. “I have decided to take your advice.”
“Alexander what are you saying,” asked Crateros while looking around at the other general’s what advice had Alexander decided to follow.
“I have decided to take a consort. A greek consort,” Alexander smiled as the dining became instintely alive. The same question was on everyone’s mind who was going to be Alexander’s consort. Nearchus looked over at where Bagoas hoping it wasn’t him. Cleitus looked over at Hephaistion, he had a sinking feeling he know exactly who Alexander had chosen as his consort. He tried to catch Hephaistion’s eye by the other general refused to look at him. Cleitus looked at Alexander just in time to see the king give him an evil smile.
“Alexander your keeping us all in suspense here. Who have you chosen to be your consort,” Parmenion asked not in the mood for the young kings games.
“Well if you insist,” Alexander says standing, “I’d like to introduce everyone to my consort...Hephaistion.”
Nobody in the dining hall says anything, they are all to shocked by the news. Everyone that is except for Cleitus. The general jumps up in a rage. “You son of a Bitch,” he yells at Alexander.
“Cleitus no,” Hephaistion says jumping as well.
Ignoring Hephaistion Cleitus continues. “You think you can just order someone to marry you....”
“I am king I can do as I please. And besides Hephaistion wants to marry me. Don’t you my love,” Alexander says placing his hand on Hephaistion’s hip.
“Cleitus, please,” Hephaistion begs, hoping his lover doesn’t do anything to upset Alexander. He had to know he was doing this to keep Cleitus safe.
“Alexander, you really don’t need a consort, I mean you have a wife,” Cassander says while pushing Cleitus back down in his seat.
“Do you not approve of my choice Cassander,” Alexander asked staring down the general.
“That’s not it at all Alexander, Hephaistion is a fine choice. It’s just that...”
“He doesn’t want to marry you,” Cleitus interupts.
“And he’d rather marry you,” Alexander taunted. “I don’t think so.”
“Why don’t you let him chose,” Cleitus yelled at Alexander.
“Cleitus do not do this here,” Cassander whispered to him.
“Well I think you’ve made a fine choice,” Parmenion says, smacking Alexander on his back.
“A toast to the king and his new consort,” yells Philotas. “May the gods bless you.”
“Or curse you,” Cleitus whispers.
