"He said, he just curious and Tianyou didn't pursue him any further. Afterward, out of gratitude Tianyou agreed to your father suggestion to marry Rindi" He paused for a moment then continued with disgusted look all over his face. "Your father even shamelessly said that Rindi likes kids and her mother instinct was triggered when she saw Mugi in danger. Huft. Who would believe that lies?! I don't know why Tianyou bought those trash words and let the matter go"
"He let the matter go just like that?" Senja raised her brows and her eyes wide in disbelieve. She felt something fishy about this.
"Yes, I don't understand him either. What exactly his plan"
"Then why he didn't marry her right away if he was agreed?"
"He has matter at hand that he had to handle, that was why the marriage was drag too long"
Senja supported her head with her palm on the table. "But I think he just drag the time"
After all, it was his son. Was he not found that the matter out of normal? His crescent moon guards were killed without a chance to fight back and his son was willingly walking into dangerous place that he didn't know, then accidentally there was Rindi who came to save the day? With addition all the criminal were death on the spot. Dead bodies tell no story.
He was willing to marry her but, for whole year it didn't happened? Don't be kidding…
"Don't over thinking things. You become more and more critical" Elder Dam chuckled.
Senja smiled beautifully. "No, I am not" In the end it would never be her concerned so, she wouldn't waste her energy to think it over.
"Actually, I thought it was pity to waste such a good potential grandson in law to little hypocrisy like Rindi. How good it is if he could be my grandson in law"
"He would be your grandson in law eventually if he married Rindi"
"Ah, you know what I mean…" Elder Dam winked at her with wicked smile.
"…" This old man…

In the end, both of them chatted for almost the entire night. When Senja came back to her room the sun almost rise in the east.
She came back with full information on her hands, enough for her to assessing the situation and making plan to take another step.
She was very tired and as soon as her head touch the pillow, she felt in deep sleep and just woke up when it was almost evening again.
No one came to wake her up but she found some pieces of bread on top of her table, perhaps grandfather ordered someone to brought it and not disturbed her, in case if she awake and felt hungry.
She rubbed her sleepy eyes and get up from bed to take a bath, after that she was munching her bread on the bed with her wet hair still dropping waters. She was quite annoyed with this era because she can't dry her hair directly and have to spend almost an hour to do so, in the time her hair had dried her hands were numb silly.
Hence, she just let it loose and let the wind from the open window dried it naturally.
While she was devouring her bread she could sense someone with dull feeling outside her window. This feeling was something she couldn't describe, she felt uncomfortable upon sensed it.
This person didn't have any emotions. If Xiao Tianyou was lack with his feeling at least it was something that natural for human to have self restrain however, this dull feeling she sensed was kind of something that came from inhuman emotion.
