Purple Dawn Till Dusk: Dearest through the time

"The case that you solved was my last case before retirement. Under my existence in manor, nothing major happened again and Carye gradually behaved well. But Senja…" Elder Dam shifted his eyes to look at Senja with trace of warm and warning in his eyes.

"Don't put your guards down whenever you with her, just because she seems not harmful doesn't mean she really can't hurt you. I have feeling that she is waiting for the right moment to revenge her father"

Senja nodded thoughtfully, however, her guessed was right. There were many dangers that lurking at her the moment she assumed this identity and one was waiting for her at home.

"In my current state, don't you think she was somehow related to my abduction?"

"Of course! In fact, she was the first person that came into my mind when you were being kidnapped, however, when I investigated her and people around her further I had got nothing. I know she was a cunning person but to cover up her action till the extend not leaving any clues, it was something that she can't pull trough. Besides, even Tianyou was involved in this matter.

Moreover, Tianyou and her second daughter was a step away from wedding, there were no reason for her to ruin it. It wasn't worthy"

"I have been lost for a year, but why don't you continue the wedding?"

"It was tradition. If there is your chore family member die, the chore family isn't allowed to hold any party for a year as a form of mourning. Although I don't wish something like that happen on you and I still hope for you to come home safe and sound but, it wouldn't be proper to having a big event such as imperial wedding at that time"

"Grandfather, how I went missing at that time?" It was necessary for her to fishing any information regarding 'Senja' to avoid her to ran into enemies trapped.

"One day, you just gone without any traces from your courtyard. There weren't any sign that someone barging into your courtyard or seeing you went out of the manor. You just disappeared"

Senja knew, something felt not right with that. How on earth someone just disappeared without any traces? It seemed she have to be more alert to her surrounding because the enemy still hide in the shadow. Moreover, they would come to her eventually if they learned she has come back.

Old woman! What grudge you held towards me to make you put me in this situation?! I will settle account with you once I come back!

Senja gritted her teeth out of annoyed, however, her gestured read wrongly in elder Dam eyes. "Don't worry Senja, once we come back I will chased her and her daughters out of the manor" Elder Dam wrap his big palm on senja hands, gave an assurance of safety.

Senja smile faintly when she replied. "There is no need for that grandfather"

"Of course it is needed" Elder Dam refuted.

"Grandfather, if she plotted something against me, wherever she is, she will always find way to launch sneak attack against me. I will prefer to face danger head on rather than danger that is lurking from the dark"

"You don't need to face it. Grandfather will protect you well this time"
