The Story Of Dusk
/ The Story of Dusk 20 9 MONTH
It wasn't difficult for Senja to update the news, as everyone talk about this a whole day.
So far, Senja knew that her grandfather and father had succeeded in taking down 3 big Cities and 19 District under Xinghe's territory during 9 months of war.
Xinghe wasn't a big Country, they had only 6 big Cities under their territory. Thus, it was only a matter of time before Xinghe Kingdom would be a history.
Aside from that, there was also news about Prince Xiao Jun who interrupted the process of war. They said that Prince Xiao Jun had refused to lead the army to conquer Xinghe Kingdom and now he was under house arrest.
It was his brother, Prince Xiao Tianyao, who replaced him in the battlefield. Xiao Jun rejection had a big impact in the palace political flow. They accused him as an unfilial son and didn't deserve his title as a Prince.
Xinghe Kingdom was the one who had killed the previous Emperor, his parent, but Xiao Jun reluctance to take revenge on them was a question among the higher up official. These things compounded by his reluctance to explain his ground.
Xiao Jun position was shaken. Meanwhile, his brother, Prince Xiao Xiao Tianyao, was in everyone lips as he and his 1 million soldiers continued to besiege the fourth City of Xinghe Kingdom.
In the Black Sword Clan mansion Senja passed her day by being a target of bullied from Hikari and Rindi. Mostly, both of them would lock her inside her room for 2 days without food or water. In another day they would pour a basket of cold water on Senja and let her sleep with wet dress until she got fever for a week. Hikari and Rindi would only stop during the day she was sick.
Senja didn't say a word when they bullied her, not even a single tear. She just gave them an expression like nothing happened and let them did whatever they wanted to do to her as they wish. She was like a soulless doll.
When thing was getting difficult and their intimidation almost unbearable for Senja, she would hid herself inside the library.
She had found the secret door that Ye Xiu mentioned 6 months ago. This secret door connected to the small alley near a drug store and sometimes, she would sneak out from this door to walk on the city.
As a result she was rarely to go outside, no one recognized her, not like her 2 stepsisters that were very famous among the people. It was also a benefit for Senja, because she could leisurely walk down the street without being noticed by anyone.
However, she never did that anymore, by reason of a few months ago she ran into Carye on the street. Her Mother's sister dragged Senja into her carriage and the moment they arrived at home. She taught Senja 'good' lesson that prevent her to sneak out again.
Carye even threatened Senja that she would cut her hair if she found Senja roamed around the street again. She never asked how Senja could get out from the mansion. Because she assumed Senja had begged to the guard to let her out.
Inside the secret door was only a long narrow alley that was too dark if the moon and the sun didn't shine on it through 3 small air holes on its wall.
So, for now Senja would hide behind the secret door and put all her precious things along its alley, she even stack up her blanket in order to sleep there if Hikari and Rindi tried to look for her. Senja could stay inside the secret door for whole day long and only came up when she felt hungry.
No one ever noticed about her disappearance. Hikari and Rindi would assume she was good in hiding.
There was a time when Senja missed Su Zhang Li.
She like Aunt Su's affectionate and Ye Qing's care because the little boy would talk nonstop about everything as he knew she didn't talk much.
There was a night, when she was still in the shelter, Senja couldn't sleep well because her wound, that was stabbed by Wang Yu, on her shoulder throbbing painfully. Aunt Su gave her a medicine and while singing a lullaby Aunt Su cuddled her until she fell asleep. She was so warm and her smell so good.
Sometimes Senja would roll the blanket around her body and pretending it was Aunt Su who hugged her.
***
In the dark night, when the moon didn't shine and every people had fallen into their slumber state, Wang Yu led a bunch of an elite Soldier and a dozens of Golden Arrow Archer whom The Crown Prince Xiao Wang Wei lent him.
He had been scouting Xinghe's Shelter of orphanage for the last 2 months. No one knew about this mission except The Crown Prince Xiao Wang Wei and the Leader from Unit Force, Mo Ling Tian.
Wang Yu had acted very secretive in front of his father and Prince Xiao Tianyao. They have the same goal, but both of them wouldn't agree if they had to massacre orphanage children, while Wang Yu has another business to be done in this Shelter.
Since Senja told him about Su Zhang Li, Wang Yu had collected all letters from Rin and Su Zhang Li's exchange letter and found information about the location of this orphanage shelter.
In the end, Senja had some use for Wang Yu.
His father wasn't the right person to know about this information, Elder Dam couldn't make full use of this. So he sold the information to Crown Prince Xiao Wang Wei instead, as he promised to help him to get Elder Dam's position in the Military.
Crown Prince Xiao Wang Wei had promised him that he would give him a position as a Main Commander to replace his father, if he could capture Ye Xiu alive.
From the look of it now, Xiao Jun reputation had plummeted. This was the best opportunity to snatch Commander's position from Xiao Jun.
Many people had been questioning his decision because he refused the plan to destroy Xinghe Kingdom. All this time, Elder Dam, who was the one who rejected the idea, however since Ye Xiu made a move to kidnap Senja, the old man gone crazy to demolish Xinghe.
Tonight, they will attack this shelter.
