Chapter 71: Assassination attempt

"Yes, but I don't know who was he, when the shadow guards found you, you were walking alone near our manor. You said that person left after he sent you home. I am really grateful for that unknown person for saving you and wanted to thank him personally.

After that pandemonium I didn't allow her and her daughters to come closer to your courtyard without your concerns, and since that day I forbid you to going outside our manor to avoid something like that repeated"

"You lock me up inside the manor? It was unfair" Senja refuted with disbelief expression. After all, if this continue how she could finish her mission if he lock her up.

Elder Dam expression turned sullen upon seeing her reaction. "I know it wasn't fair for you. But you didn't object it back then. Moreover, you always an introvert type, even without my restriction you are very often to go outside. If not because Carye asked you to tag along with her, you would be still in the manor, reading your book like usual"

It won't do. I have to think about a solution.

"3 years ago, you solved our nation crisis with your brilliant strategy, not to mention you were merely 13 years little girl at that time" Elder Dam go on with 'Senja' achievement and how proud he was to has a granddaughter like her. Senja had had knew this story from Doctor Lin, she told her this story days ago.

"When your name known thorough nations, besides feeling proud of you, I am also feel worry. The impact of that calamity was big enough to put you in danger. One of many officials who were under arrest was your grandfather from your mother side. Carye was begging me to lets her father, of course I can't do that. Even though he was my in-law, he was proved wrong and deserved to receive punishment"

"What the punishment?"

"Any force under his possession was stripped off. At that time he possessed 300.000 armies under his command as a General. However because of his merit the Emperor pardons him and despite of the scandal, he was left with nothing and lived the rest of his life as refugee at southern kingdom.

"There was no way for me to help him and since it was me who in charge on that operation, I didn't want to help him either. It was his fault and he deserved the consequences. Carye held grudge since that and she became more hostile towards you. Meanwhile your father and I still away from home because many things need to be done. It was only you at home and it made me unsettled. Thus, I send shadow guard to protect you without notify anyone.

"One week before I got home, the horrible thing that I was worried the most happened, someone send assassins to assassinate our family"

"What?" Senja held her scream.

She was once encountered assassins when she went on mission and it was a horrible experienced, if not because of her father came in time, she and her three brothers were have been death at that moment. Assassins were the real deal and she didn't want to meet those bad guys again.

"Fortunately, I had took precaution for the worst case"

"The shadow guard who you send to me secretly?"

Elder Dam nodded his head. "Yes, he managed to saves you. Originally, it was simply suicide to attack our manor since our place was the breeding ground of many spies and soldiers. Hence, nothing happened even though I received report that there were four attempts of attack to our manor" Elder Dam was giggling, looked proud by his own force.
