Purple Dawn Till Dusk: Dearest through the time - Chapter 465
It took five days and half to reach L city.
Yun chose to use water transportation to enter the city and as soon as they arrived at L city district 9 all the memories brought back to the front of Senja’s head.
Roccaleaf Tea House; the place where she spent a lot of drama with Sana and Prince Xiao Wang Wei. The night where Senja and Xiao Tianyao tried to retrieve some information about L clan and Leader Mo from the brothel, she thought it was at time that she finally grew closer to him. All the threat and tease between them.
Carnation Resort held some memories about how Xiao Tianyao could be scary by threatened the poor Hu Feng, but also could be caring as he helped Senja bruised feet after the assassination attempt. She met Uncle Su at the first time also there.
The Mapple Forest was the second time they work together and Xiao Tianyao finally put some trust on her. And the event after that…
Their first kissed.
The revelation of her ability.
His acceptance.
And all…
Senja wouldn’t have able to come back and reminisce all of this in her own world. Nothing would be the same in her world. She couldn’t revisit the same place only to reminisce the feeling it’s gave her even if she wanted. Nothing could resemble this world in her own world.
Here, she had learnt how to fight.
Here, she had learnt how to make her own decision.
Here, she had learnt how to take responsibility and survive.
The happy memory of Elder Dam’s unique personality and his gossip habit brought smile onto her lips.
The sadness when she lost him.
The sadness when Qianru’s lost her baby.
The sadness of losing people who had sacrificed themselves for her safety.
And in the end, she made it and Yun was here to accomplish her mission and everything would be left behind.
All…
Senja stared at the place far away. She missed her family as well, but she missed being here…
“We are here.”
Yun’s voice forced Senja’s focus back to the matter at hand. She looked at the man secured their small boat as Yun stood up and reached out his hand to help Senja got off.
However, the scene in front of her wasn’t like she expected. In spite of Senja had never been in this district before, but she was pretty sure it had gone drastic changed.
There are many soldiers stood on guard, Azura’s soldier.
“Put it on.” Yun gave her the straw hat.
Senja had worn her turban, but to make sure her hair didn’t gave them unnecessary trouble, Yun insisted to make her used it. She complied without a word.
“Why they are here?” Senja hinted to those Azura’s soldier, it supposed they were not here.
The last news they received mentioned Xiao Tianyao and Xiao Jun had taken over L city, but lost Q city. They were surrounded.
However, the situation that Senja watched now almost like Xiao Tianyao and Xiao Jun had lost L city as well.
Yun shook his head and replied in low voice. “I don’t know, we will find out.”
In front of them, before they entered the district, they needed to pass the post guards. It was the unexpected thing for them, Yun didn’t calculate this and Senja didn’t have any expectation about the situation. But, she clearly knew, something was wrong.
And this didn’t sit well with her to think it was her farewell. Saying goodbye and left him when everything was going south for Xiao Tianyao, it felt cruel. She wanted to stand and fight beside him at this point and made sure everything would be alright for him.
She didn’t want to leave him in this kind of situation.
How she could leave him in this kind of situation? How she could leave him when his plan didn’t work and his live was in danger?
She could do something.
She could think of something.
She could help to make another plan.
She regretted it that she didn’t take interest and asked more question about their plan or mingled with the other people who were involved in this.
There must be something wrong with them, like… a traitor? She should be able to warn him to take precaution.
But, she didn’t.
“Yun, what we should do?” Senja asked when the post guard only a few meter away from them and all the soldiers’ eyes were on them.
“We need to pass them to be able enter the city.”
“They will check our identity…” Senja said in a matter of fact tone.
“I am aware of that.”
“And?” Senja glanced over at him and saw Yun was concentrated to assess his surroundings.
In an instant, she knew what was in his mind as his feeling cemented her guess. It was calm before storm.
Senja looked straight ahead when she saw two of the soldiers was eyeing Yun’s sword which hung on his hips threateningly.
“Throw your sword and show your identity.” One of the soldiers said while he unsheathed his own sword.
The other soldiers followed his movement and now, there were around forty soldiers on the spot who were ready to take both of them down in matter of second if Senja or Yun took a reckless moved.
But, Yun looked at those soldiers with hardened eyes and determination in his stance.
“Senja, be ready.” Yun said before he drew his own sword.
It would be a scene of bloodshed after this.
