Purple Dawn Till Dusk: Dearest through the time

Chapter 20: Food...food...food...

When she heard his stubbornness, Senja sighed deeply, "Hundred percent sure! I don't know anything at all." That statement really was not a lied. Then she added "Now can I have my food?"

He grabbed his hair with frustration.

"One more question"

"What?" She asked dispiritedly. It was so annoying when someone kept asking question when you were hungry.

"Do you know Xiao Tianyou?"

"No!"

"Are you sure?"

"Yes!"

"He is a second prince in this kingdom, the right man of main unit commander, the third person with the highest position in this kingdom." Lieutenant Utara rattled out.

"That guy sounds so formidable" She stroked her chin lightly like she was contemplating his words.

This guy carried many title. Commander? And also a second prince? That was quite a status in ancient time right?

"It is not 'that guy' you should call him second prince!" He berated her lightly and added. "You seem really helpless with this world basic rule, you even don't know him. No women in entire land doesn't know about him"

Well, you can't blame me. I am not even from this world.

"So, can I eat now?"

He sighed again and walk towards another direction. "This is your reward. Follow me."

Senja follow him happily.

Foodfoodfood

She was chanting in her heart while holding her growling stomach.

But then Lieutenant Utara stopped, seemed like he just remembered something really important.

"Open your robe and show me your shoulder."

Her eyes widened in confusion

Is he asked me to show him my shoulder as a bargain for food? Last night when I asked someone to tie my hair he called me shameless but now, this guy just casually asked me to see my shoulder? Isn't ancient time very strict with body exposure than my era?

Despite of that thought Senja didn't mind to show him her shoulder, she was a girl from modern world after all and on top of that the stylist one. She even wearing bikini. So, to show him her shoulder wasn't a feat for her.

Senja casually pull the robe on her right shoulders but before her white shoulder show off, Lieutenant Utara shouted at her.

"What are you doing!!?"

Senja raised her head and saw the startled expression of him full of horror. She knitted her brows tightly and looked at him innocently.

"You ask me to show you my shoulder." She said in matter of fact tone.

"Ya, but" He stammered and put his gaze anywhere except her. "How you can do it casually?! Don't you have self-regard?!?"

"What is it now!?" She had enough with this and shouted back, "I help you with your situation. You asked me question, I have answer all of them. You asked me to show you my shoulder then I did! What is wrong with you??!" She vent out all of her angered. It was true if you were hungry then you can't think clearly and became more sensitive. Senja can felt his embarrassment but she shrugged it off.

"I am hungry! No. I am starving! You didn't give me enough food since yesterday! I can't sleep well last night because my hands were tied. You asked question since in the morning. I have to keep talking to both of you to convince you that I am not a spy from another kingdom! And now you are talking nonsense about self-esteem when you are the one who asked for it?!! "
