Chapter 262: Our cloak!

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

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

Senja gaped in horror. The way Xiao Tianyao explained it, she couldn't help drawing similarities with the times when witches were convicted and executed in Europe and America between 1450 AD and 1750 AD. If the Kingdom of Azura treated mind controllers like Europe and America witches, then it was a serious situation and an extremely dangerous one at that.

"But…"

"Who else knows about this?" Xiao Tianyao cut her words sternly.

When Senja heard Xiao Tianyao's question, she automatically replied in her mind: Yoda!

But, the image of Xiao Jun silencing all the witnesses of her ability got the better of her.

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

So, with a straight face Senja shook her head, trying to appear as natural as possible.

"No one."

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

"Absolutely,…" Senja nodded to emphasize, "..It is the first time I have used it."

Well, it was indeed the first time Senja had used her ability in front of Xiao Tianyao, Xiao Jun and Yang Yu. In a way, she hadn't lied.

The man in front of her narrowed his eyes, "How about Yoda?"

He knew that the two were close. There was a high possibility that he'd know something. He couldn't treat this issue lightly.

**Damn! **

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

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

**What precise analysis! **

Senja was amazed. But she still put on her poker face, "Why I should use my ability when he had protected me well?"

Xiao Tianyao's face turned darker than the bottom of a wok.

"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 at his accusation, "No, of course not. I didn't mean it that way."

**Who knew her random reason would give him another wrong impression? **

"Then, what do you mean?"

"I …" Senja stuttered.

**Think of something girl!**

"… My situation before was different from the situation just now."

"How was it different?"

"Before…" She drawled, "… the situation before did not put me in a grave danger. How can you say you didn't protect me properly? You have protected me very well. You even threw your sword in the Marple forest at that time to save me!" Senja was fawning over with her words.

Xiao Tianyao still had dissatisfaction on his face, but he didn't talk anymore. Well, it seemed that Senja's words had appeased him, even if only a little.

"Ah, I left my cloak there." Senja explained unhappily. Her grey cloak was there because Senja had thrown it away when blood splattered over it. But she still shouldn't have left it like that.

"You mean my cloak?" Xiao Tianyao corrected her.

It was indeed his cloak that Senja was talking about.

"You gave to me. It is mine."

"I lent it to you, not gave it."

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