The sun sets in the west and the star-studded sky welcomes a dark night with a warm atmosphere that brings a sense of calm in the air, this clear night sky is the opposite of the night before.
In the dim room there was man who stared intently at the sleeping young girl on the bed. His tall and exquisite figure was enveloped by the darkness as he was hiding behind a pillar that pretty far from her.
Xiao Tianyao has been there for two hours, waiting. If his prediction was correct, this was the perfect time for any of Senja's accomplices to approach her however until now, no one sneaked in or there was any meaningful movement from the girl who slept there. She seemed know nothing and ignorance to her surrounding, just slept soundly.
It confused Xiao Tianyao further. He is a calculated person, if no one came then it's mean he wasted his two hours for nothing. For some reason he impulsively insisted on dealing with the matters regarding Senja by himself.
He looked at the figure of the girl who slept on the bed, her purple hair scattered all over her face while she curled up her body in fetal position and her cherry lips slightly open. She didn't seem to be pretending, she was indeed sleeping.
Not long after that, there was a soft knocking sound came from the door. The person behind the door continued to knocking because there was no answer from the other side. Meanwhile Senja seemed didn't get bother by the knocking sound, she still sleeping peacefully, her eyebrows didn't even frown.
Just how deep she sleeps? Even with noise like that it can't wake her up? Is she actually sleeping or hibernating?
Xiao Tianyao thoroughly confused, randomly he pick a pebble from flowerpot nearby and flick it away across the room until it hit Senja arms.
"Aaargghh!!" The girl abruptly sat up because of the pain and then stroking her aching arm, her head feel dizzy because of woke up so sudden.
"Senja, are you fine child?" Elder Dam asked with anxiousness from behind the door when he heard noise from inside "Senja?" He called her out again.
"I am fine…" Her voice sound very raspy. She cleared her throat before answering her grandfather louder than before "I am fine grandfather"
"Can you open the door? You have slept for whole day"
"Just a moment"
Senja was stumbled a couple of time to get off from bed, took her outer robe and ran to open the door with disheveled hair.
"Grandfather…" Senja said as she yawned.
Elder Dam was taken aback, since when his granddaughter became this careless? As far as he could remember, never once she appeared with messy look like this.
"Grandfather?" Senja called him again because Elder Dam just stood there with stunned expression.
Senja would just step out when Elder Dam pushed her back inside the room. He took the tray full of food from the soldier beside him and closed the door. Without saying anything he put the tray on the table and then light more candles to illuminate the room.
"Wash your face and sit down to eat" Elder Dam said.
Senja went to the basin and do as he told, after tidied up a bit and tied her hair into bun Elder Dam gave her a sign for her to sit down.
Just now, Senja realized that the sky had turned dark as soon as she looked up the night sky through the open window. She really slept a whole day.
"Eat while it still hot, after that change your clothes and come to study room, it almost time for you and Tianyao Departure" He was just about to leave when only a few steps he walked he heard Senja's voice
"Grandfather…" Hesitated, Senja called Elder Dam softly.
While a certain someone in the dark became alert.
