262 OUR CLOCK

"What will happen?" Senja asked timidly, slightly raised her head to gauge Xiao Tianyao's expression.

"There is an old law in The Kingdom of Azura. Once you are suspected to be a mind controller, you will be burn to death. That's the punishment."

Senja gapped in horror. The way Xiao Tianyao explained it, she felt like a description from a story about execution of people convicted as witches in Europe that took place in the early modern period or about 1450 to 1750.

They were quickly convicted and sentenced to death.

If The Kingdom of Azura treated mind controller like witches in Europe, then it was a serious situation and extremely endanger Senja's live.

"But…"

"Who else knew about this?" Xiao Tianyao cut her words strictly.

When Senja heard Xiao Tianyao question, her mind automatically gave an answer; Yoda.

But, the image that Xiao Jun and he immediately killed the witnesses of her ability made her restrained the answer.

Yang Yu could be pardoned because he was Xiao Tianyao's most trusted subordinate. But, Yoda? Senja even doubted if Xiao Tianyao would listen to her plea. She didn't want to bet with someone life, and this man most likely wouldn't hear her vouch.

So, with straight face Senja shook her head, made all of her gesture as natural as she could. "No one."

"Are you sure?" Xiao Tianyao asked for certainty.

"Sure," Senja nodded to emphasize her statement. "It was the first time I used it."

It was indeed the first time Senja used her ability in front of Xiao Tianyao, Xiao Jun and Yang Yu. She didn't lie in some way.

The man in front of her narrowed his eyes, "How about Yoda?" He knew that both of them were close. There must be a possibility that he knew something. He couldn't treat this issue lightly.

Damn!

Senja tilted her head and scrunched her brows, "What happened with him?" She asked him back innocently.

"Did he know? You used your ability tonight because you were in danger and you had been faced danger with that guy more than one time." Xiao Tianyao recalled, it had been two times. "Didn't you use your ability at that time?"

Such a precise analysis this man has! Senja amazed. But, still put her poker face. "Why I should use my ability when he protected me so well?"

Xiao Tianyao's face turned even darker than he was before. "So, you mean I didn't protect you properly until you were forced to use it?" He asked in low eerie voice.

Senja was blinking rapidly by his accusation. "No, of course no. I didn't mean that way." Who knew her random reason could give him another wrong impression.

"So, what you mean?"

"I …" Senja stuttered. Think of something girl! "… My situation before was different from the situation just now."

"What is the different?"

"Before…" She drawled. "… The situation before not put me in such a danger. What you mean that you didn't protect me properly? You had protected me very well. You threw your sword in the marple forest at that time to save me." Senja was boat licking in her last sentences.

Xiao Tianyao still has that dissatisfy expression on his face, but he didn't talk anymore. Well, it seemed Senja last sentences appeased him a little.

"Ah, I left my cloak there." Senja stated sullenly. Her grey cloak was there because Senja threw it away, it was sprayed with blood. But, still she shouldn't leave it like that.

"You mean my cloak?" Xiao Tianyao corrected Senja statement. It was indeed his cloak that Senja was talking about.

"You gave to me. It was mine."

"I lent it to you. Not gave it."

Senja tilted her head and spoke coquettishly, "Our cloak then." And she snickered.
