Assassination Attempt?

"Let's talk in my office. We must not disturb the customers here." 

"Alright." 

Elder Rex brought them to the topmost floor of the building. 

"Bring some snacks for our guests." Elder Rex instructed the young servant lady waiting inside his office.

"Yes, Elder Rex."

"You guys sit down. Make yourselves comfortable."

"Thank you for inviting us in despite coming unannounced, Elder Rex." Roland smiled. 

"What are you saying? Stop being distant to your old friend here!" Elder Rex chuckled. He then turned his head to Fredrinn who was sitting beside Roland. "Is this your son?" He asked with a light smile.

Roland nodded while looking proudly at Fredrinn. "Yes. He has grown up, but he still has to learn plenty of things." 

"Look at how smug you are! You can't even hide that smirk on your face!" Elder Rex laughed while shaking his head. 

Hearing this, Roland laughed heartily.
