Purple Dawn Till Dusk : dearest through the time

"Since General Wang Yu is here, let's talk about this in three days from now." He said.

Carye let out a sigh of relief while Rindy was unable to conceal her smugness as she raised her chin up in a proud way.

But, Senja sensed a feeling of amusement in the air. Not from the family of three nor Xiao Tianyao, she had never been able to sense his emotions anyway. However, this feeling came from the patriarch to her left. Senja glanced at him, just in time to see him hide a smirk and pretend to drink his tea.

**Something's going on! **

Senja shot a glance at Xiao Tianyao beside her, but the poker face didn't betray a jot. Finally, she shrugged her shoulder and nonchalantly decided to eat the fruits on the table.

No rush, she could ask him anytime.

With Xiao Tianyao's answer the conversation about the engagement ended. Wang Yu who hadn't spoken until now, finally spoke up.

"Senja, come to father's study after lunch." Wang Yu ordered.

"Yes, father."

Senja was prepared for this. Yet, Xiao Tianyao to her right suddenly tensed up.

"Yes, both of you need to talk alone. Your father must have missed you very much, even though he doesn't show it on the surface." Carye was all motherly.

"Yes, sister… You have been gone for quite a long time." Rindy chimed in.

The other Senja's letter had mentioned how bad her father had been treating her. It wouldn't be any different now, would it?

.....

After lunch, Senja followed Wang Yu to his study while Xiao Tianyao and Elder Dam stayed in the pavilion with Rindy and Carye.

"He sent me back." Senja blurted out. She made a mental note of the name Modama.

"Why did he send you back? Is it another mission?"

**Mission? ** Senja was puzzled. But she nodded anyway.

"What he ask you to do this time?"

From the way Wang Yu put it, it seemed it wasn't the first time that the other Senja had received a mission from Modama.

**Did her disappearance have something to do with the man named Modama? **

"I can't tell you."

Senja really couldn't tell him anything not because she didn't want to, but because she knew nothing!

"Modama told you to keep this secret?"

"Yes."

To her surprise, Wang Yu didn't question her any further. Senja felt strange, it seemed Modama held power over him, the kind he acquiesced to without a single peep.

"It's related to the overthrowing of the Black Sword Clan?" He changed his question still trying to ferret out.
