Purple Dawn Till Dusk

HE IS THE CAPTAIN, I AM THE LIEUTENANT

He gulped.

This girl is really fierce when she was getting angry.

He had got use when he had to face a fierceness second prince when he got his bad side. However, he didn't know if this delicate look girl in front of him could be this fierce when she pissed off.

In the matters of scolding, women indeed in another level.

"Oke. Let's eat. Let's eat" He said lightly and continued walking.

He was able to heard the girl stomped her feet with anger behind him.

Lieutenant Utara brought Senja to his tent.

This tent was quite big and on the round table there were many delicate dishes available.

"Waaa!!!" Senja shrieked in front of a big bronze mirror.

"What happen?" Lieutenant Utara snorted when he looked at Senja reaction the moment she saw her own reflection.

She pointed her forefinger to her reflection on the mirror and to her own face, "That is me?" She asked amaze.

Utara nodded languidly, with his big palm he was propping his head.

"Yes. Just now you know how abnormal you look?" He thought Senja shocked with her purple hair and the robe she was wearing simply like a sack.

Actually, she was quite irritated with the clothes she was wearing, as fashionable as she was, never in her wild dream she would be willing to wear such a robe. But, looking at her situation now, she could tolerate it.

The things that make her shocked no other than her overall being.

She looks younger!

"How old am I, do you think?" Senja asked with eyes still glued to her reflection.

"You don't even know how old are you?" Utara was squinted his eyes full with curiosity.

Of course I know! Do you think I am stupid? The problem is, I look like teenager when actually I am already 23 years old! Of course it is shocking me!

But of course she couldn't blatantly say out loud her thought. In that case she just shook her head, indicated she didn't have any idea how old she was.

Lieutenant Utara sighed helplessly. "I think you are in 15 or early 16 years old."

Senja nodded her head vigorously, have the same thought. She grinned ear to ear, adored her youthful body figure and her look. She was aware that she was beautiful, but with the youthfulness of teenager, simply said, she was very charming. Her complexion was really good and she even has red tinge on her cheeks, made her look so adorable.

She looked skinnier, slimier, younger and shorter... she sighed with the last fact

Despite, her indecent clothes she was very satisfied with herself.

"Can you drop that expression? What are you smiling for?"

"I am so young!!" She cried out with excitement and almost jumped when she walked to the table to gobble up her food.

Lieutenant Utara's jaws dropped. He didn't know how chronic this girl amnesia was. But, for her to think that she was still young when she saw herself, it was really something. How old she thought she was? 50?

Senja could feel the confusion that Lieutenant Utara felt but she ignored it and enjoyed her meal.

"Why you don't accompany him?"

"Who is 'him' you mean?"

"That, another Lieutenant."

"He is Captain Hua."

"Why you don't go brief your subordinate with Lieutenant Hua?"

He looked at her dejected.

"He is a Captain. I am the Lieutenant". He emphasized his every word. It feels like his pride being tip. "I am his superior. I have my own army. I don't have to deal directly with his subordinates."

"You are his superior? But, you look younger than him." She looked at him befuddled.

"Of course I am younger than him, but it doesn't mean I am more inferior rather than him. I have strong family background." He said haughtily and drank his tea with elegant manner.

"In another words, with strong family background, even if you aren't capable you could reach the top." She thought this world it wasn't very different from the world she lived in regarding of position.

Utara almost spurted out the tea he was drinking when he heard Senja's opinion.

"You have an amazing mouth!" He shouted angrily. "Of course it isn't that case! I had been training since I was 11 and it has been 15 years since that! I am really an idiot if I can't reach important position during those periods of time! I do have good background, but if I don't have capability, do you think people from upper position would willingly gave me 500.000 army under my supervision?!"

Senja startled, she just mentioned her opinion but why he so worked up to explain it, if he didn't agree then he could explain it slowly. After all, she didn't care about all of that status.

"Especially, when it comes to Second prince Xiao, he would never accept people without capability. It was hard to curry favor with him."

"Second prince? Man with many positions that you was mentioned before?"

"Mmm... are you sure you don't know him?"

She shot him looked with trace of ridiculed. Are you dumb? How many times I have to tell you?!

"Now tell me what is it? Why do you think that I acquainted with him anyway?" If he just mentioned it casually then Senja wouldn't feel something fishy. However, he insisted that she know him.

"Nothing. I just feel that you resemble elder Dam younger granddaughter. You even share a same name."

Senja chuckled when she heard this, "If that is the case, then I am absolutely not her. How you can expect there are two same persons? Everyone could accidentally have same name. It isn't a big deal."

"What you said is quite right. I saw her twice, even though I didn't have much interaction with her, but in one glance, despite of your look is alike, your personality is pole apart."

Senja twirled her hair when asking. "How is she?"

"Hmm..." Utara scratched his head trying to recall a memory from the past. "She was an amazing young girl. When you saw her, you can feel her calm, smart with high morale conduct and virtuous aura around her. She is like a woman that descending from heaven." He gazed at the girl in front of him.

"Calm, smart with high morale conduct and virtuous aura?" More else, woman who descending from heaven? Indeed it pole apart.

"She was a golden lady from Black Sword Clan. Their head lady of the clan had thought her personally. She deemed to be a successor for the clan head lady, not many people is able to saw her since she wasn't often to go to the public and on top of that, the protection around her was very tight." Utara was reminisced the moment he saw 'Senja', if it wasn't for Second prince Xiao Tianyou betrothed to 'Senja's' sister. It would nearly impossible for him to saw such a lady.

"You have feeling for her?"

"Of course no!" He refuted directly with shock expression. "She is almost 11 years younger than me and a little sister of second prince's fiancée! And else, such a perfect lady like her not suited my personality."

"I can see, such a perfect lady like her indeed will make other people feel uncomfortable." Sometimes, if you looked too perfect it would make a gap between you and other people. It would appear as a difficult and not approachable person.
