i’m watching the sab show and i’ve also read the books a year ago and my question remains.HOW TF DID ALEKSANDER HAVE TIME TO MANIPULATE ALINA WHILE RUNNING AN ARMY AND RUNNING A COUNTRY AT THE SAME TIME.not to mention he also was leading the grisha.and also,i think i would’ve done a better job than him.given the fact that he didn’t restrain alina from seeing baghra which he knew she was against him.like i’m sorry but this just doesn’t seem like manipulation to me.and tbh if expanding the fold would be the ultimate weapon that would keep enemies away from ravka i would sacrifice my relationship with someone(if i was him ofc).so the question stands.how did he manipulate her?
