Chapter 22: The golden lady
"You are his superior? But, you look younger than him." She looked at him befuddled.
"Of course I am younger than him, but it doesn't mean I am more inferior rather than him. I have strong family background." He said haughtily and drank his tea with elegant manner.
"In another words, with strong family background, even if you aren't capable you could reach the top." She thought this world it wasn't very different from the world she lived in regarding of position.
Utara almost spurted out the tea he was drinking when he heard Senja's opinion.
"You have an amazing mouth!" He shouted angrily. "Of course it isn't that case! I had been training since I was 11 and it has been 15 years since that! I am really an idiot if I can't reach important position during those periods of time! I do have good background, but if I don't have capability, do you think people from upper position would willingly gave me 500.000 army under my supervision?!"
Senja startled, she just mentioned her opinion but why he so worked up to explain it, if he didn't agree then he could explain it slowly. After all, she didn't care about all of that status.
"Especially, when it comes to Second prince Xiao, he would never accept people without capability. It was hard to curry favor with him."
"Second prince? Man with many positions that you was mentioned before?"
"Mmm… are you sure you don't know him?"
She shot him looked with trace of ridiculed. Are you dumb? How many times I have to tell you?!
"Now tell me what is it? Why do you think that I acquainted with him anyway?" If he just mentioned it casually then Senja wouldn't feel something fishy. However, he insisted that she know him.
"Nothing. I just feel that you resemble elder Dam younger granddaughter. You even share a same name."
Senja chuckled when she heard this, "If that is the case, then I am absolutely not her. How you can expect there are two same persons? Everyone could accidentally have same name. It isn't a big deal."
"What you said is quite right. I saw her twice, even though I didn't have much interaction with her, but in one glance, despite of your look is alike, your personality is pole apart."
Senja twirled her hair when asking. "How is she?"
"Hmm…" Utara scratched his head trying to recall a memory from the past. "She was an amazing young girl. When you saw her, you can feel her calm, smart with high morale conduct and virtuous aura around her. She is like a woman that descending from heaven." He gazed at the girl in front of him.
"Calm, smart with high morale conduct and virtuous aura?" More else, woman who descending from heaven? Indeed it pole apart.
"She was a golden lady from Black Sword Clan. Their head lady of the clan had thought her personally. She deemed to be a successor for the clan head lady, not many people is able to saw her since she wasn't often to go to the public and on top of that, the protection around her was very tight." Utara was reminisced the moment he saw 'Senja', if it wasn't for Second prince Xiao Tianyou betrothed to 'Senja's' sister. It would nearly impossible for him to saw such a lady.
"You have feeling for her?"
"Of course no!" He refuted directly with shock expression. "She is almost 11 years younger than me and a little sister of second prince's fiancée! And else, such a perfect lady like her not suited my personality."
"I can see, such a perfect lady like her indeed will make other people feel uncomfortable." Sometimes, if you looked too perfect it would make a gap between you and other people. It would appear as a difficult and not approachable person.
