Purple Dawn Till Dusk : Dearest Through The Time Chapter 322

"So, what do you say?" Xiao Tianyao didn't let her off, since it was Senja who started it.
Senja clenched her teeth while glaring at him furiously.
Just then Elder Dam cleared his throat and saved her from being bullied by Xiao Tianyao further. Afterward, nonchalantly Xiao Tianyao leaned his back, as though he had nothing to do with the goings on before him.
Senja wasn't any better.
After Xiao Tianyao was done teasing her, she didn't pay any attention to what Wang Yu had been saying. Only when the guests clapped their hands, Senja realized her father was done with his speech.
"Prince Xiao Tianyao," Wang Yu called for Xiao Tianyao to confirm something that Senja hadn't paid attention to.
However, instead of Xiao Tianyao, it was Elder Dam who stood up.
The old man's overbearing aura emitted an excitement that Senja couldn't ignore.
**Something's gonna happen…** Senja had an inkling.
She leaned over to whisper to Xiao Tianyao, "Why didn't you stand up? Why is it grandfather instead?"
"Because your grandfather loves this kind of thing." Xiao Tianyou whispered back at her listlessly.
"What thing?" Senja's eyebrows rose in question.
Some guests caught the interaction between Xiao Tianyao and Senja with questioning looks on their faces. The two seemed quite close; they were so engrossed in their talks that they completely disregarded what Wang Yu was saying.
In spite of their bewilderment, Elder Dam's next words caught them off guard.
"My son has misunderstood the purpose of the banquet tonight, because there isn't any engagement to begin with." Elder Dam stated it loudly.
Senja was surprised by her grandfather's declaration, not to mention the people present, especially Wang Yu, Carye and Rindy.
The three of them were so stunned that their eyes almost popped out from their socket.

As if on cue, whispers were abuzz in the hall. They were talking in hushed tones among themselves about the revelation, especially the mistresses from Carye's circle.
At this time, Xiao Tianyao stood up and shot a look at Yang Yu on the other side who had been waiting for his master's signal.
Not long after that, he stepped into the hall together with a quartet of Crescent Moon Members. Each pair had a man restrained between themselves.
All eyeballs in the hall fixated on the two men who had their hands tied tightly behind their backs who the foursome dragged in.
Questions flew in everyone's minds as their fingers pointed at them.
Meanwhile, Rindy's eyes opened wide with panic at the sight of the two men in the middle of the room. She knew them! Wang Yu knew them!
"Speak!" Xiao Tianyao said in his deep hoarse voice, clear enough to be heard by all the people as they shut their mouths and waited expectantly.
The prisoners were trembling; it seemed they had been subjected to a dreadful torture before they were brought here. However, the lack of visible wounds left Senja astonished. **How had Xiao Tianyao's men tortured them. **
"Young Miss Rindy, please spare us…"
One of the men bowed his head so low his forehead touched the marble floor beneath him.
"Please, we only followed as per your instructions…" The other man blurted fearfully.
At least that was what Senja could sense from the two.
When Senja heard their pleas, she had a wild guess, but she wasn't sure yet. She looked up at Xiao Tianyao who was still standing with an expressionless face.
At the time Xiao Tianyao was about to open his mouth and continue to speak, Elder Dam literary pushed him aside and said, "Let grandfather handle this."

Senja wanted to facepalm herself at grandfather's behavior.
"It's like what you said, grandfather really likes this kind of thing." Senja muttered when Xiao Tianyao sat back.
"I told you." He replied.
With a huffed chest Elder Dam stepped out and stood in front of the two men who were kneeling on the floor as he roared.
"Tell us exactly what you did to Prince Xiao Tianyao's son two years ago!"
They shivered under Elder Dam's penetrating gaze. Thinking about the torture that they had gone through previously they couldn't help but speak the truth.
"It was the Second Miss from the Black Sword Clan who had given an order to kidnap a boy and hold him captive…" The man with a bigger body confessed.
"We didn't know it was Prince Xiao Tianyao's son. Second Miss didn't say anything." The other man added.
"LIE!!!" Rindy howled.
With her nimble body she stood up and was about to dash towards the two men in front of her, before Wang Yu held her hand and stopped her right in time.
Jaws dropped, some even shrieked in disbelief. It was well known that Prince Xiao Tianyao's engagement with Rindy was because the latter had saved Mugi's, Prince Xiao Tianyao's son's, life.
With this revelation, not only Rindy had schemed against the Imperial family, but had actually dug her own grave.
Endangering a member of the royal family counted as capital offense.

Draugr Cell //Layer 01-- Investiture:
With the end of the only war to ever reach mainland Australia I found myself living out of a small room in an old military compound that had been handed over to the jurisdiction of the Department of Veterans Affairs. The end of the war, unfortunately, didn't mean the end of hostilities. The terrorism trend that had started back in the early 2000's with the attack on the world trade center over in America, had spread to just about every country on the face of the planet. Over time the constant threat from various groups meant the civilian police force was quickly undermanned, under equipped, and overwhelmed. They were simply unable to respond to the daily threats in any reasonable time frame, and in many situations lacked the both the skills and equipment required to deal with the threats to put them down in a 'safe' and expedient manner. Veterans of the war that were being reintegrated into society however, were just about everywhere, all the time. We have the training and the skills required to deal with just about any threat you care to mention, all we needed was access to the equipment to do so. In a world first, under the new Veterans program, the Australian government had taken the rather controversial step of allowing specifically selected veterans to go armed in public. Sure, with Australian weapons laws being very, very strict there were a number of hurdles to get over first, but that's where the selection part comes in. Tangentially that's actually how I met Brianna, my current partner. We work as ringers in Victory City, I thought being thrown into imptomtu combat operations and risking my life on a daily basis for barely livable wages was excitement enough. Then I met her... it... I don't know. An AI unlike anything else out there has wedged itself into my life and decided it needs to... look after me. What could possibly go wrong? **** This is the first book I have released, and my first entry into a cyberpunk universe. There is minimal drug use, a fair amount of sex, a bit of gory violence, and a sultry AI that has decided the main character needs a harem.
