Chapter 239 - Prince Siegfried (1) (1/2)

Aleksis and Lauriel were having a lot fun in Thailand. Lauriel deliberately often put Aleksis on his shoulders because he wanted the little girl to see the view from a high place.

They took city trains and buses and mingled with residents and tourists, just how Lauriel liked it. He wanted Aleksis to experience adventures and be on the road since young.

As usual, Lauriel wore glasses so that his unique eye colors didn't attract too much attention. He also bought a smaller pair of glasses for Aleksis. The glasses made them look like nerdy tourists.

Thailand was a paradise for exotic food and that was what made Lauriel want to bring Aleksis there. In the culinary center of Bangkok, they walked around and tasted dishes made from grasshoppers, scorpions, crocodiles, and many other animals that were not normally consumed by humans in other parts of the world.

After feeling satisfied with their culinary adventures, they continued their journey to Chiang Mai using the night train. Lauriel wanted to take Aleksis on a hot air balloon there.

According to him, some of the best places to fly hot air balloons were in Cappadocia - Turkey, Bagan - Myanmar, and in Chiang Mai - Thailand. Considering Chiang Mai was the closest place, he decided to bring Aleksis there.

”You would love to see the earth from above in a hot air balloon,” he said to Aleksis, who started dozing off beside him. The little girl just nodded with one eye open, then fell asleep. Lauriel laughed at this. He tidied Aleksis' messy hair in a single braid and then covered her with his jacket.

He was pensive for a few long seconds and a moment later, seeing that Aleksis was already sleeping comfortably, he decided to go to the toilet to relief himself.

There were almost no other passengers in the carriage, only one Thai family and two white tourists who seemed to be occupied with their book and laptop.

On a train that was moving like this, of course he should not worry for bad people who would bother Aleksis. After all, he would only be gone for maximum ten minutes.

Unfortunately, the toilet in his carriage was broken and so was the next one. Lauriel moved quickly across the two carriages to the rear end to find a working one. After he was done, he immediately returned to his carriage. It took him less than ten minutes.
