Purple Dawn Till Dusk: Dearest through the time

Chapter 111: Like free spirit

When time almost hit midnight, everything was ready.

Xiao Tianyao and Elder Dam would be departure at the same time, therefore there were 2 groups of shadow guards that consisting of 10 guards in disguised for each group as merchant.

However, among Xiao Tianyao accompaniment of shadow guards, there was a person that Senja recognized immediately. It was Yoda. But, because he sat on the coachmen seat, she assumed probably they picked Yoda as a coachman and didn't think there was something out of ordinary. Furthermore, it was very convenient for her to have someone she knew.

Senja didn't have opportunity to talk to him due to a very short time. Even Elder Dam only managed to hug her and talked a few words and then helped her to get on the horse carriage before both party went to different direction.

The carriage was very simple without any splendid decoration but it didn't reduce the comfortable factor. Actually the space inside the carriage was quite spacious, it was enough for 3 people sat together, however Xiao Tianyao chose to ride his horse.

Senja didn't complain about this, honestly, she was grateful. She couldn't imagine how she supposed to face him after that choking incident. She still feels embarrassed.

So, without his existence inside the carriage Senja could enjoy the trip.

To get rid of boredom, she opened the window that connected to the coachman seat with intention to chat away with Yoda.

"Boy, what are you doing here?" Senja asked as she sticking her neck out of the window.

Seeing Senja like that, Yoda only nodded his head politely and then answered her "This one become coachman for Young Miss Senja"

"Oooh" She drawled. "I have just talked to grandfather about you to be my tutor"

"It will be my honor" Yoda was keep talking politely.

Meanwhile on the side of the carriage Utara and Xiao Tianyao glanced to their direction and observed their interaction with each other silently. However, nothing was odd about their conversation.

"Boy, have you prepared a gift for your mother birthday? Her birthday would be less than 1 month right?"

"Thank you for Young Miss concerned. This one not yet prepared anything"

"Why? Boy, you should buy something nice and send it to her"

"This one will remember Young Miss's advice"

"Let's buy something once we arrived at City L, I have been there once and I went to a Tea House, they also sell something nice for women, maybe you can find something there"

Yoda almost bit his tongue when he heard Senja calling him 'boy' over and over again and her intimate conversation. Did she not pay any attention to her status?

Trough gritted teeth Yoda hissed to her that only Senja could hear "Stop it! You will put me into danger!"

Senja whispered back. "How can I put you into danger?"

Yoda answered her with muffled tone without averted his eyes from the road. "We have different status. It is impossible for me to treat you as a friend, so if you keep talking like that to me they will blame me"

"Blame you for what?" Senja's eyebrows wrinkled. Why was Yoda who would be blamed when the fact it was Senja who started the conversation?

"Worse of all"

"Mm?"

"They will accuse me of seducing you" Yoda said with an embarrassed tone, he lower his head slightly.

Upon hearing his unexpected absurd answer, Senja was rolling backward as she laughed out loud until the entire carriage trembled. Her laugh drew attention from everyone around the carriage. All of them looked at the shaking carriage with quizzical look. What actually both of them talking about until this Young Miss from noble family behaves inappropriately?

Yoda had an urge to strangle Senja, however it was hundred percent for sure he wouldn't be able to do that. Therefore, he only silently received strange gaze that directed at him.

After minutes full of laughed, Senja was rolling back to sticking out her head through the window again and exclaimed with her clear voice. "You are so funny!" Her face already red because of a burst of laughter and her purple hair was very attractive so that one can't overlook her rarity, she laughed without burden, like a free spirit.

Probably her beauty wasn't devastating enough to shake a nation but her liveliness was more than enough to drive away cloudy sky.

Xiao Tianyao looked at Senja's smiling face it was an enchanting smile that he had not seen for long time from people around him. He was captivated by the aura of freedom around her. It was something that very refreshing to see.

As for the certain someone who was still chuckling, she would never mind this world's decorum. She wasn't raised to obey the rules and she never would, she was raised to bend the rules. She wouldn't stay for long time in this world anyway, so she would never bother herself to learn it.

Later on she would know that there were things that really had to be obeyed

Senja stretched her body and continued to 'tease' the stiff Yoda who answered every question with rigid expression. He was almost at the end of his patience.

When Senja was busy teasing, their entourage suddenly stopped. Senja stopped talking and narrowed her eyes to the dark road in front of her.
