Purple Dawn Till Dusk

Wasn't A Simple Person

Senja stay still, she couldn't find her voice. She was too scared. She was afraid of the man in front of her that look like he could kill her anytime. A tear escaped from her eyes, rolling down to her pale cheek and she began to sob quietly.

"... I don't know... I don't know why I am here..." She tried to explain between her sob.

Captain Hua was squinted his eyes but didn't withdraw his sword.

"Are you Zodasian?!"

She looked confused and asked back with a low voice. "...what is that?"

"Don't play fool. I don't have time for that" He deepened incision in her neck, made another blood dripping.

"Really, I don't know what you are talking about. I don't know why I am here. I don't how I can be here. I swear!" She spoke hurriedly.

"How you found her?"

"We didn't found her Captain. She was the one who show up in front of us. She was inside a barrel"

The Captain seems like still didn't believe if Senja came out by herself. If she was a spy then what she did simply a stupid moved but if she wasn't someone that Zodasian Kingdom sent, then who she is? How she can be here inside his fortress? How she was able to be here while their situation wasn't possible for someone to get out or enter?

In fact, they were in predicament. Because Captain Hua fortress was placed at the east forest of Azura Kingdom, Zodasian's soldiers blockade every way out from this forest. They were not able to contact and ask for reinforcement from the main fortress.

However, if they attack recklessly without knowing the other party position and how many forces they have, then the result would be unexpected.

He couldn't afford to let this fortress to be occupied by them. Therefore, he had been thinking about this solution for this past six days since the first attack they was launched to his front line soldiers. The other party also seems didn't dare to acted recklessly. They were just kept it down without any intention to make a first moved.

But if this situation dragged for too long then another problem would be arise. Because they were isolated from the outside then they couldn't afford to fill up their ration. Soon or later this problem would be the main concerned.

"Report to the Captain!" At that time there was a soldier rushed into the tent with panic expression. He seems to have been running for a long time.

Finally, Captain Hua was willing withdrawn his sword from Senja's neck. She sighed with relief.

"What it is?"

The soldiers took a deep breath before gave his report.

"Report back to Captain Hua, Enemy cut off our water supply. They have put trunks along the river to clog it!"

"What?!" He was so furious and rushed outside without paid any attention to Senja.

The chief also went outside. However, the four soldiers from before who escorted her were still there. And another person who had kept silence since the first time Senja entered the room.

He just sat there silently, observing the event that was unfold in front of him.

He wasn't wearing armor or held a sword, he just donned brown clothes, but the aura that surrounds him gave Senja a hunch that he wasn't a simple person like he was appeared on the surface.
