Purple Dawn Till Dusk: Dearest through the time

"You? Help me? In what way?" Senja walked closer toward Sana and stood right in front of her as she stared at her with harmless smile that look very gentle.

"Senja… How can you ask me like that?" Sana covered her mouth with her hands and feigned to be surprised by Senja question. "I know we began our meeting in bad terms. But, for me it was merely argumentation, I didn't put it to heart…" Sana sighed helplessly and bit down her lips, "I didn't know you hold grudge towards me like that… to even deny my effort from helping you."

At the corner, Leader Mo spoke with dissatisfy tone when he saw his niece grief expression "Young Miss Senja. You can't act so ungratefully to someone who had helped you." He reprimanded Senja lightly still cautious enough with Elder Dam presence.

"That was why I asked. In what way your niece helped me?" Senja was still with her unperturbed expression.

At this point Elder Dam started to sense something was amiss with Senja's reaction. She wasn't a girl who didn't know how to distinguish a good from bad.

With perplexed expression Elder Dam was explaining what Sana told them the moment he had just came back with Xiao Tianyao. "Senja, wasn't it Young Miss Sana who came to save you from the commotion because your guards failed to protect you?"

"Failed to protect me?" By now, more or less Senja could read what bullshit Sana spit out, but she still wanted to hear the complete story.

"You can't be blamed in this matter, because as you said before, it was your true nature to mingle with commoners." Leader Mo said with sarcasm lingered in his voice, he must really resented Senja, "But actually for your guard let that thing happened it was completely his failure to carrying out his duty."

In other words, because of her statement before that told them her point of view which disregarded Sana's way to conduct herself in front of public. He blamed Senja for everything that had happened, but with Senja's status she couldn't be blamed, hence the fault fell to her guards who had failed to carry out his duty.

"If Sana came late, the Citizen's curiosity about you would have overwhelmed you and you would be in danger. Their intention wouldn't be bad but, perhaps you would get hurt by their excitement. The citizen has long wanted to see you in person after all and we couldn't hold them in for responsibility if something bad happen to you right? It wouldn't be good also for your image." Leader Mo halted to sigh helplessly while kneaded his temple before continued his nonsense, "The guards who witnessed the event said that you had been surrounded by hundreds people until you couldn't move. Good thing, Sana came and brought you away with her carriage."

"That was the story that Young Miss Sana told you?" Senja drawled as she stared with smile on her lips at Sana.

"Senja, how can I tell lie?" Sana asked pitifully like Senja have wronged her badly. "You are so scare back then and wasn't able to say anything." Sana's eyes reddened.

Sana was actually laughing in her heart. She had thought about this scheme, Senja certainly would deny everything and try to explain the truth, but eventually it would reach the point that Senja would explode with anger and frustration. Because Sana would do the same by stand her ground with her story. Right at that time she would be playing victim no matter what Senja said next. It was easier to draw people sympathy, and it has become the nature of people to gravitate to the weak party.

Moreover she had bribed all the guards that involved that night with good amount of money. They could be her strong point and would vouch for her innocence to turn down Senja's true story. With that in Sana's narrow mind she became excited as smile form on her lips.
