Purple Dawn Till Dusk: Dearest through the time

Chapter 512: Counterattack

"It's not misunderstanding! Just because Prince Xiao Jun didn't like me, he can't twist my words! I said there is possibility of traitor among his people." Senja wailed and looked at Elder Zhong pitifully.

"If that what you told him, then why Jun said you have accused me as a traitor?" Elder Fu still fumed by the false accusation, this hurt his pride to be accused as a traitor.

"That's because" Senja lowered her head and answered timidly, like a spoilt child. "I thought because Elder Fu was from Xinghe Kingdom it was Xiao Tianyao who had led the war between two kingdoms and had taken down the Kingdom Elder Fu, must have held grudge toward both of them. But, I didn't say Elder Fu is the traitor Prince Xiao Jun concluded my words too quickly." She stammered in the end of her words.

"Nonsense!" Elder Fu bellowed angrily. "If that was what you said, it held the same meaning!"

"Grandpa Zhong, I have been wronged by Prince Xiao Jun. I know that I am still young and reckless and talked without consent, I just let him knew what I thought, only that." She complained to the elder beside her, wiping the non- exist tears.

Since he has stood up for her during the accusation, so why she didn't use it for her own benefit? Acting stupid to fool a fool, sounded fine with Senja

If Senja was another person and not using an identity as Elder Dam's granddaughter and the famous golden lady from the Black Sword Clan which half of their armies were the shadow guards, she would have lost her head by now.

Or, without her remarkably achievement in the past, no one would waste their times to hear her wailed and spewing words.

Senja has utilized her identity to great extent.

Elder Zhong looked at Senja's large eyes who stared back at him expectantly, looking for comfort. "It's not like that. It must be a misunderstanding between both of you." He patted Senja's head lovingly, concerned in his eyes. "Jun, you shouldn't take her words seriously, she is still very young."

"But, Prince Xiao Jun promised me." Senja insisted annoyingly that earned dissatisfied looked from the other elders.

"What promised?" Elder Zhong asked in very soothing tone.

"Prince Xiao Jun would allow me to check all the elder tents in order to find the evident." She blurted out the non- exist promised cunningly.

Xiao Jun's brows shot up in confusion while Xiao Tianyao tried to hide his snicker by clearing his throat, this was indeed Senja's style to get revenge upon Xiao Jun's rude plan.

The corner of Xiao Jun's lips twitched by Senja sudden changed of behavior. He just wanted Senja to be quiet and let herself to be wronged, to show that he didn't put much attention to the traitor issues, so Elder Zhong would speed up with whatever his plan.

He knew Elder Zhong pretty well, after all he had spent a good amount of time with him these past years. The elder wouldn't sit idly with the mention of these issues, he would be more likely to take precautions act and as long as he had made a move, it was easier for his side to counter attack his schemes. Since he had knew his true motive, all thanked to Senja.

However, who knew she has actually brought this circumstances into another level.

"Did you really promise her that, Jun?" Elder Chen's eyes widened and brow locked, he was looking for an answer form Xiao Jun, disliking the idea to have someone rummaged his personal thing.

"Prince Xiao Jun promised me that when I spoke about the traitors among his people." Senja interjected before Xiao Jun could answer it, made sure that he would answer the way she wanted.

Xiao Jun breathed in deeply. "Yes." He said with a sighed.

Senja had put him in difficult situation since he intended to use her as a decoy, she knew his intention and made sure she acted along with his plan, but gave him a headache in the process.

With this dispute, it showed the elders the discord and conflict between the two of them that had arisen. Like he had thought, Senja was enjoyed this little trick and upgraded it.

Xiao Jun furrowed his brows in annoyance while his brother's eyes dancing with mirth as if he wasn't a part of the friction. He wouldn't worry about Senja's capability to get herself out of this and strike back.

Xiao Tianyao had seen this kind of situation a few times in the past and he liked what he saw.

"But, it isn't the right time, we have important things to be discussed and will leave until evening. Go back to your room, I will talk to you later." Xiao Jun said defiantly with a hint of exasperation in his tone.

Senja huffed and puffed like a little brat when she wiped her nose with a fake snot sound, angrily she stomped out of the tent. Leaving those people who didn't know her well in puzzled.

"She had never acted that way before." Elder Chen grumbled dissatisfied.

"She is just seventeen years old girl after all, nothing serious about this." Elder Zhong smoothed the tension, "You will not take it to heart right elder Fu?"

Elder Zhong asked elder Fu who was still staring at the direction of the entrance where Senja had left with knitted brow. "Hmm." He hummed inattentively.

Meanwhile, instead of going back to Xiao Tianyao's tent Senja was looking for Utara, Xiao Jun had told her secretly that she had time for herself until evening because they would be away until then. More likely, Senja needed to use this moment to find as much useful information as possible.

She hoped her brief stubborn and spoilt act was convincing enough to break the image of Senja as the ingenious young lady, so Elder Zhong wouldn't take precaution against her.

Her delicate and harmless expression walked leisurely among the soldiers who were bowing their head upon seeing her.
