47 Red Hair and Green Eyes (1/2)
Finally came the moment of truth. Arius said goodbye to Dante, and then went off towards the front entrance with Asrael and two men.
Lufti walked beside Asrael, and as curious as he was as to why his boss spilt the others into groups, he couldn't ask. Asrael always kept his plans to himself.
The man dressed in black sat in the place next to the gate. If Zuna was there, she would know that it wasn't the same person she had seen earlier.
Without being asked to, Lufti went up to the man with an amiable smile and casual attitude. In short, they had requested a meeting with Alfred Bennett, on behalf of... Asrael Nili? Whom, the man did not know, yet he still made a call to the man in charge.
Moments passed before they were let in, it was a little too easy. Asrael expected a little more resistance.
They met with someone at the front and were then led in by a rather cautious amount of body guards. They made their way through the halls of the mansion before being brought into the dining hall.
Alfred Bennett sat at a round table on one end of the room, and they were pushed to sit at the same table across from the man. Though, Bertie thought it rude and began criticizing their manners.
”I apologize for my guards.” Alfred responded to the cry of injustice, without showing any genuine concern. In returned he received a 'Hmph!' from Berite. ”I hope we can have a friendly conversation. And I would like to know who Asrael Nili is...”
Arius pointed a finger at the young teenager beside him, even though he was completely aware that what Alfred wanted to know was the significance of who he was.
”Who sent you?” Alfred furrowed his brows. He figured the man with dark hair and tanned skin was the man in charge of their small group. Asrael looked to be about fifteen years old, so Alfred wouldn't have guessed.
”I sent myself.” Asrael responded.
