NOVEL NEXT Chapter 23: Big event last year
"You are ridiculous by think that I was her! You think such a lady would appear in this secluded place? At mess situation like this?" Senja was annoyed.
"I am just saying you resembled her. However, I could tell you for sure, that she doesn't have that horrible purple color hair." Utara shuddered lightly when he glanced to her bright hair.
Indeed in this era, when women preferred to have long jet black hair to show their beauty, her long purple curly hair just so utterly absurd.
Lieutenant Utara expression changed, it turned gloomy. "But, she was kidnapped a year ago. That disaster postponed their married."
"What?" She raised her head from the bowl of her rice and gazed questioningly to him. "How could that happened? She is still missing until now?"
"Yes she is still missing until now, second prince and all people from Black Sword Clan did everything to found her with no avail. Even they can't found a slightest clue about her whereabouts." Utara contemplated. A flash of event a year ago rushed to his mind, how chaotic it was when the Black Sword Clan lost their golden lady without traces. After all, Black Sword Clan was the biggest army support from this kingdom. Most of the spy was trained and taught there, with that background alone and in account that their men scattered all over the mainland, it supposed to be not difficult for them to find a missing person, more over with the strength of second prince was backing them up how could there were no clue even only slightest.
Honestly speaking, even you would be able to find a needle among thatch, let alone a missing person. But the result was so inconsolable.
"But, with status as a precious granddaughter of famous family and as a little sister of a prince's fiancée. How come you can't find her? Is she dead?" She was asking while finishing her chicken wings, not bother to give Lieutenant Utara spare since he looked like he lost his appetite.
"I don't think she was death, if she is, then we could find her body. But in her case, it's just like she was disappear from this land."
"That was pretty weird… did she offended someone?" Senja gave her thought while biting the chicken bone.
"I don't think she would have offended someone since most of the time she just studied at her residence. Even most people from her clan just able caught a glimpse of her, let alone people from outside." Lieutenant Utara was folding his arms with knitted brows. "She was truly a precious lady from important family."
"Maybe it was scheme of someone from inside"
"Ok, enough with this topic. I will ask someone to show you your tent so you can have a rest. Since you help us in this situation and you didn't conduct any harm potential, you can stay temporarily until we find out how you intruded our fortress and which land you belong." He cut off the topic because it was getting personal.
Utara liked gossiping but he knew his boundary. All things just now he revealed merely common information that everyone had already knew. But when she said 'someone scheming from inside' it become personal matter that couldn't discuss casually. In the other part, this issue indeed came up but, regarding this matter they had to investigate it thoroughly, because it could be mean there was a traitor inside the family member.
Senja didn't mind he cut off the topic since it wasn't something that related to her or something that need her concerned.
However, later she would know that she will be a part of those schemes.
