"Aleksis moved to Singapore to look for that person ..." Lauriel went on with a rather annoyed voice. He almost opened the wine, but then remembered that it was still too early to drink. Finally, he poured some more tea into his cup. "The two new bodyguards might have been sent by Prince Siegfried. That is the only reasonable possibility ..."
Nicolae and Terry were both surprised. The two of them didn't expect that Lauriel would know so much, just based on his own observations!
Finally it was Terry who took the initiative to open a bottle of wine and pour a glass for himself. He felt somewhat pressured that he knew something but had to refrain from telling Lauriel about it.
"I want some, too," Nicolae murmured, reaching out. Terry, who was no longer bitching at him, just nodded and poured a glass for Nicolae. Both look at each other with a meaningful look.
Terry realized that Nicolae knew something, and so did Nicolae realize the same thing about Terry.
Can you guess who might be holding a grudge against Aleksis to the point of asking some mafia thugs to kidnap her?
