Looming threat

Lauriel took Aleksis on a trip to the Gardens by the Bay to see various flowers and futuristic gardens there. Then they climbed the Singapore Flyer Ferris wheel many times because the little girl was very happy to see Singapore from above.

They were resting on a park bench while eating ice cream when someone dressed all in black came over to the two of them.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Lauriel."

Lauriel, who was cleaning some ice cream from Aleksis' lips, looked up and squinted his eyes, "Who are you?"

"You are invited to come to my master's house for tea..."

"I was asking who you are? Is it so difficult to understand my question?" Lauriel asked again. His face clearly looked unhappy. He could only tolerate a few humans in this world, and he did not like to repeat his questions.

"Oh... I'm sorry. My name is Neill, I work for Mr. Alexei. He heard you were in this city and wanted to meet you." The man looked uncomfortable. "That is if you want to."
