Purple Dawn Till Dusk: Dearest through the time

"Senja, grandfather doesn't know since when you develop this feeling. But grandfather asked you to please stop it. He was your future brother in law" He said with troubled eyes. He didn't want to disappoint Senja, but truth to be told, Xiao Tianyou had engaged with her older sister.

"Grandfather it was merely compliment. I didn't mean anything" She looked her grandfather sincerely.

"Senja, it isn't wise to compliment a grown up man like that, it will delivery false interpretation" He reprimanded her softly then he look eagerly to Senja. "If not because you were missing back then, now your sister and second prince would had been married. I halted the imperial wedding because I wanted to focus solely to look after you, but now that you are here, I am able to proceeds their former plan"

Yes, please proceed their wedding. I don't have any objection.

Elder Dam move to sat beside her and cupped her hands with his palms then looked at Senja sympathetically. "Child, why don't you tell grandfather if you have that kind of feeling for him?"

The corner of Senja lips was twitched. This misunderstanding was gone wild.

"Grandfather, how can I develop feeling towards him in such short amount of time? You misunderstanding me" He took his bait very serious, Senja couldn't imagine that her simply compliment could be upgrade to this level.

"I do think the same, but maybe you had have feeling towards him for long time. I mean, the time before you being kidnapped. Even though you lost your memory, but the feeling was still there"

Her amnesia excuse back fired to her. She wanted to cry!

Damn you Xiao Tianyou!

"Grandfather, please trust me. I don't have that kind of attention. It was simply compliment" Senja said with half begging tone.

"It was good if that was the case" Even though he said like that but deep down he still doubted it. "But, let grandfather know if you have that intention for him. After all, he was such a perfect man that could live up my expectation. It was pity if he had to married out of gratitude" He sighed helplessly.

"Out of gratitude?" Senja tilted her head looked interest. She smells gossips in the air.

"Yes" Elder Dam nodded his head and started his story. "With your current situation, I guess you can't recall this moment. Grandfather first will tell you story about our family" He adjusted himself.

Her grandfather dignity aura was swift into an expert story-teller old man. Never she would believe it if she didn't saw it with her own eyes, how this old man in front of her tear down his stern face to be someone who was eager to tale tell.

"Your mother had died when she gave birth to you. And two years later, your father, my son, remarried to your mother little sister, Carye. With her, she brought along two children from her previous married too, they were older than you, Hikari and Rindi" When he mentioned their name there was slightest displeasure on his eyes.

"I don't like Carye since the first time I met her. But, I don't interfere with your father matter"

"Why? Because she was widow with children?"

"No, I don't have narrow mind like that. I value both women and men as equal. However towards her I feel uneasy, maybe you can say that I am good to read people. I have feeling that she was up to no good"

Senja is listening to him attentively. "Did she harm our family?"

Elder Dam snorted. "She wouldn't dare, but it doesn't mean she never tried"

"Who she was harm?"

Elder Dam face darkened and trough his gritted teeth he said. "You"

"Me? Why?" Senja looked puzzled.
