Purple Dawn Till Dusk : Dearest Through The Time Chapter 425
Advertisement
Like what Xiao Tianyao had promised her, when it's time for dinner, he guide Senja out of the inn toward the nearby restaurant.
This place wasn't a big village, thus not many people were roaming around when they were in the street.
Senja heaved a sigh of relief... she didn't like to stay at a room for whole day and it felt good to be able to take a night out.
Xiao Tianyao held her waist steadily and would grumble if Senja was walking too fast for his liking.
Finally both of them settled in and ordered their dinner.
Senja chose to eat at the table outside, because she felt stifled inside a room. Aside from them, most of the tables were empty, thus their food came faster.
"Why did you help Gong Xu?" Xiao Tianyao asked out of the blue the question that haunted him. He didn't think that Senja would hide something from him and held more information about Gong Xu, but there was always a possibility for everything.
Senja raised her head from her food and looked at Xiao Tianyao right in the eyes, one thing that he liked from her, her braveness.
"There is possibility he didn't kill Luna, Tianyao." Senja replied, trying to come clean with him. "You will kill the wrong person if he didn't."
"It was him, Senja." He said stubbornly and assertively, made sure Senja could feel the conviction in his word.
However, Senja didn't affect by his demanding tone. "In this case, let me ask you."
"What?" Xiao Tianyao terse question sounded harsher than he meant it. "What is it?" He reiterated his question softer this time.
Senja knew how agitated Xiao Tianyao this time, especially when he saw his own brother stood up for his enemy, including her.

Senja fell silent for a moment, trying to think over her question. "Do you see with your own eyes that it was Gong Xu who killed Luna?" Senja posed her question carefully.
The same feeling was creeping in his mind when Xiao Tianyao heard Senja question. The question that very modest and logical, but didn't even cross his mind. How could that happen?
He must have known about this, yet never thought about it, the simple question that had slipped from his mind and was stupidly forgotten.
"Did you see with your own eyes that Gong Xu killed Luna?" Looking at Xiao Tianyao's deadpan expression, Senja thought he missed the question, thus she kindly repeated it for him.
"No." As if his face was being poured by cold water. The realization hit him hard.
Senja surprised, but somehow she had known that would be his answer. She could see the face of the man in front of her turned ghastly pale.
There would be thousand questions were running around in his mind at this very moment. He was obviously confused.
Senja reached out her hand, grabbed his big hand in hers and gave a reassuring squeeze. "It's alright. It's alright." She said repeatedly.
Yet, Senja's voice seemed didn't reach him. Xiao Tianyao looked down to his hand that intertwined with Senja's. "The question never come in my mind." He informed her, barely a whisper.
Senja nodded in understanding.
Since Xiao Jun didn't want Xiao Tianyao to know the truth, he must have never confronted Xiao Tianyao with this question and if he didn't then no one else would.
Even if there was, Xiao Tianyao harsh reaction would make them back down. They wouldn't talk in peaceful and calm ambience like the way Senja asked Xiao Tianyao about this.

And moreover Xiao Tianyao wouldn't think thoroughly about it and forced his own opinion without batting an eye.
"Why the questions never come in my mind?" He muttered, more to himself rather than talking to Senja.
"I don't know…" Senja said sympathetically.
The person who had blocked Xiao Tianyao's memory definitely her, without doubt and Senja was very sure about that. But…
**Did Luna also prevent him to know the truth? But, why she did that? It doesn't make sense no matter what the reason.**
"I never saw it by myself, Senja." Xiao Tianyao raised his head. The confusion and turbulence emotion in his eyes made Senja wanted to soothe him. "But, why I am so adamant it was him?"
Right at that moment, Senja felt it. Started from the hand that was in her grasp, rushed up to her arms, spread on her body and in the end engulfed her.
She felt his emotion and this caught her completely off guard.
The fear, anxiety, anger, furious, sadness, agitation and many emotions that swirled in the same time, moreover it was him. This was Xiao Tianyao emotion that she had not been able to feel since the first time she met him.
Why she could feel it now?

Dear Spellbook (Link to rewrite in blurb)
A rewrite of this story has been posted here: https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/49881/dear-spellbook-a-fantasy-time-loop-rewrite Live. Study. Repeat. Tal is a sorcerer in a world where they are killed on sight, traveling with a man charged with carrying out the task. Every night Tal must pretend to study his spellbook to maintain his disguise as a Wizard’s Apprentice. If his disguise slips and his charade is uncovered, it will be his death. Seeking answers to mysteries that arose after his parent’s murder, Tal must accept any allies, no matter the risks, to uncover his family’s secret. But when he wakes up one morning to find himself trapped repeating the same day, he has to overcome his challenges all on his own. This story is an adaptation of a D&D campaign I ran but never was able to complete. I tried to capture the feel of a table-top RPG session —tropes and humor— without relying on the mechanics. This is not a litRPG or gamelit story and no D&D mechanics or system appear in the game. It follows one member of an adventuring party as he deals with the problems with that arise from being an adventurer. Namely, getting roped into adventures. The story has a time loop element, but will eventually move past that. This story explores the magic systems, the history, and the lore of the world through the lens of Tal's entries in his Spellbook and interludes from other written works in the world. New entries on Mondays Credit to JackOfHearts for the cover.

Et Non Lucem
A lonely fortress, a (slightly) deranged assassin, secrets, intrigue, magic and war. What could possible go wrong? If you've ever wondered what would happen if somebody attempted to blend a realistic medieval world with fantasy, then this is for you. If you've ever wondered what happens when you stick some (extremely) flawed humans into positions of power and try making them save the world, then this story is for you. Or if you're simply bored and can't seem to decide on a new story to read, then this story is for you!This is my first ever attempt at writing a story after years and years of reading, so any and all constrictive criticism is appreciated!

(un)Lucky
After dying on his hospital bed, Jack is surprised to once again regain consciousness. Turns out he’s in purgatory where he learns that God has been pretty into gaming lately… you already know where this is going, don’t you? Yeah, yeah, I know, another LitRPG story like many others. SO original… But why then do we keep reading them and looking for more? The answer, for me at least, is because they’re usually just plain fun. That’s all I hope my story can be: fun. No fixed releases for now, nor any future plans. I’m just trying to enjoy my time writing it. Btw, the cover is something random I did and has absolutely nothing to do with anything. Don’t ask me why.

Life is Feudal
No OP stuff, status bars, levels or skills. This story is in favour of more realistic setting in a world of humans and various monsters. "Behind the mask of the assertive, resolute facade that employs ruthless routes at any given moment, lies the frail, anxious heart that were once but a puny human. Reviled and revered by many, none would ever know my true allegiance lies within myself, merely trying to survive this mess." Just the life of a grumpy man child living in a terrible piece of shit or a desolate state in which I call an alternate historical take on medieval Europe. Living as a peasant who is forced to take up arms to defend his own kin. This story grants an insightful take on the life of people living under constant danger, from vying nobles who commit atrocities in the name of justice, eager nations and barbarians aiming to take a piece of the bountiful land and mythical divine monsters who resembles a walking catastrophe in any possible way. [If you're easily offended by alternate-history religion and cultural practices, then you shouldn't read this.]
