494 IT WOULD BE WORTH A TRY

Senja forgot to breathe as she felt her heart filled with excitement. "Are you telling me the truth?"

Yun ran his fingers on his hair, his eyes fixated at grandma Riana's tomb as he said clearly. "But, this time… once you return, you can't comeback."

Senja knew about this, she was aware about the consequences. She didn't have many friends to be missed, but she had family that wouldn't be able to meet again if she decided to go back.

"By chance, do you know what happened after we left?"

Yun's expression slightly turned grim. "I have been looking for the manuscript about the Azura's kingdom, but there is not much information that I could gather."

"And what is the small information that you know?" Senja was quick to catch up with the meaning behind Yun's words.

Yun said, he didn't collect much information, in another words he knew a small part of the story.

"Xiao Jun succeeded to ascend the throne."

"That's good." Senja smiled sincerely. After all, he deserved that.

"But, he died three years later."

"Why?!"

"There is no explanation about that. The history said he was sick."

Senja was muttering something incoherent and with perplexed expression she asked Yun. "Who is the Emperor after him?"

"Xiao Wu Xie."

"Him!?" Senja screamed agitatedly. "Why they didn't kill him?"

"Like I said, there is no much history about Azura's Kingdom that I could find."

Senja lowered her gaze, deep in thought. "How about Modama? Did you manage to kill them when you went back to the capital city?"

"No. he managed to escape when Xiao Jun returned to the capital city."

"It must have something to do with him."

"I have the same guess." Yun plucked grass around him and continued. "Qianru suicide, because she couldn't bear an heir for Xiao Jun, a year after he ascended the throne and a year later Xiao Jun wedded a princess from the kingdom of Rockstone."

Senja pulled her hair in distressed. Qianru had told her that she was having difficulty to conceive, but Senja wouldn't have thought that it would lead her to suicide. The pressure from the officials must be one of the strong reasons why she chose that path.

Having an heir was important part of the monarch after all.

"Xiao Jun must be very devastated."

"After Xiao Jun passed away, Xiao Wu Xie ascended the throne with the princess from the Rockstone Kingdom as his Empress."

"It was…"

"Conspiracy." Yun finished the sentences for her.

"That's horrendous." Senja scrunched her face with disgust and resentment.

"Jun had lost many things Senja…" Yun's eyes turned gloomy, Xiao Jun was his disciple and he loved him like his own son. "He lost his wife, friends, comrade and… his brother."

With the last word Senja's body stiffened. She hugged her legs and rested her chin on her knees. "The sound of that horn…"

"It was him."

There was silence between them as the atmosphere turned heavy and their mood became gloomy. "So, what the point for me to come back if I can't meet him…" Senja looked at into the distance.

This was a quiet and beautiful place, if she wasn't in so much despair she would have appreciate the scenery around her.

"Like what had happened to us. I think it will happen to you once you choose to return." Yun glanced at Senja. "This is my own opinion. Even if it's only a day prior of time, it's worth a try."

The girl looked at Yun with dull eyes, she sought for affirmation.

"Riana is very worth to fighting for. Even if it was only one percent chance for me to meet her again, I would push through that one percent and bet on it." He looked Riana's grieve with tender eyes. "I had done it."
