292 ITs CRAZY! edited (1/2)

”You still want me even when the situation would be out of control?” Senja could feel her own voice shaking in her attempt to hide her newfound feelings.

”I still want you even if it is the last thing I could ask for.” Xiao Tianyao looked at her with a soft smile on his lips.

Even so, his eyes were serious. But Senja liked how it was. She could feel the way he looked at her was different from how he looked at everyone else and it made her feel content even as she felt a zillion butterflies in her stomach.

At the same time, she remembered her grandfather telling her about this man, what he had done many years ago. Xiao Tianyao had even given up his military power for the sake of his late wife because the Emperor had a different view about Luna.

She remembered Xiao Jun's warning too, in the restaurant, not too long ago. What he had said about his brother's grit and determination when it came to matters of the heart.

But…

”What if I suddenly disappear?” Senja blurted out her only concern for now.

**She came here for a purpose and should leave the moment it's accomplished, right? **

Xiao Tianyao frowned at Senja's question.

”You won't be going anywhere Senja.” He said firmly, ”Even if it means I have to tie you up….you are not going anywhere.”

”What do you mean tie me up!?” Senja glared at him, but Xiao Tianyao only chuckled.

He propped Senja's body when he stood up and grabbed her hands afterwards.

”Let's start the practice, shall we?”

Senja nodded reluctantly, ”Alright.”

Xiao Tianyao led her out of her room. He seemed very familiar with the Black Sword Clan's Mansion as he swiftly avoided every guard around and guided Senja to the south of the mansion.
