290 LETs START! edited (1/2)

They were having dinner together when Elder Dam shared some anecdotes from his youth and how he had met Senja's grandmother. After Elder Dam finished with his story, it was Senja's turn to tell him about Yoda's mother and her idea to keep her as her personal maidservant.

At first, Elder Dam suggested to take another female servant because Aunt Hu and Yoda's mother were not all that young anymore. But Senja insisted on only taking them and complained about how she was very vexed with the servants Carye had chosen for her.

In the end, Elder Dam relented and said she could do whatever she wanted, and it made Senja happy, because she really would do whatever her heart desired!

After that, her grandfather talked about some random things that Senja listened to half-heartedly letting her mind wander off for she was curious to know who would be training her later.

Xiao Tianyao hadn't mentioned anything nor hinted in anyway before he had left this afternoon. However, he had confirmed that the person would not be Yang Yu and until now Senja didn't know if he had returned or not.

”Xiao Tianyao will return late at night.” Elder Dam said while sipping his tea.

”Huh?” Senja turned her head to look at her grandfather just in time to see his mischievous smile.

”You are daydreaming my child.” He teased her.

”I am not!” Senja immediately denied it.

Well, she was daydreaming alright but just not with the same thing that Elder Dam thought she was!

”This young lovebird…” Elder Dam pinched Senja's cheek lovingly, ”…. It feels like a long time ago now when you used to wait for grandfather's return. When grandfather came back from the battlefield, he would always find you standing in front of the entrance gate in your white dress.”

He reminisced Senja's small figure by the gate; she was such a lovable child and very quiet, nothing like what she was now.Sometimes Elder Dam wondered what had happened to Senja, for her to change drastically like this. However, whatever it was, he was glad that she was here with him now, for nothing else mattered to him.

”Xiao Tianyao will sort out the problem of his engagement with Rindy. Don't worry.” Elder Dam stroked Senja's head indulgently while Senja could only give him a helpless smile.

”If he treats you the way he treated Rindy, grandfather will beat him up!” Elder Dam chortled heartily.

Senja bit her tongue at her grandfather's teasing.
