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.
Food…food…food…
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?!! "

Old Riding Author Lunatic Asylum
Just off the A19, in the dark, incomprehensible lands known as Yorkshire, there lies a town. A town where shadow-silent alleys glint with the secret hunger of knives. Where blood soaks the chipboard window shutters of forsaken terraces stretching off into the night. Where the smog-choked air rattles with the depraved laughter echoing out from clubs that can only generously be described as post-apocalyptic. Well, that’s Middlesbrough. But down the A19 a bit (an impossibly long way down, actually) there lies another town: Raughnen, in the ancient, forgotten Old Riding. It is an equal match in muggery and thuggery alike. It also has magic spells and pointy wizard hats. And now, across the miles and across all sensibilities, a pretty nasty power (a magic one) calls out for its pretty nasty counterpart (a decidedly unmagic one): a proper sound Boro lad. Nothing good can come of it. This is a collection of one novella and four connected short stories: I. A Yorkshire Summoning II. Old Riding Day Trip (the novella) III. Heaven is a Parmo IV. Death on the 66 V. Death on the 257 In total, this comprises 34 chapters totalling around 35,000 words, so try not to worry. It will be over relatively quickly. There are three more short stories with more tenuous links to the core collection: Rush, Paper Round and Scenario 79: Sausage Fingers, all of which can be found in my collection Short Records of Misadventure. Reading these may allow you to make more sense of certain parts of the story, if any sense is to be made at all. NOTE: There are instances of prejudice and discrimination within these stories, including elements of sexism and ageism, which are purely the thoughts and actions of the characters involved and which certainly do not reflect my own views on these matters. ANOTHER NOTE; A WARNING, PERHAPS: This can get a bit weird. In less than 150 pages, we have four viewpoints, first and third person narratives, and a completely disjointed plot with lots of gaps, dead ends and no real resolution. Also ZERO lunatic asylums. It's all a bit odd. If that sort of thing isn't your cup of tea, which it most likely isn't, it might be best to move on now.
