Chapter 168: Senja's influence
Suddenly, someone from the crowd stepped forward and exclaimed "Are you Young Miss Senja from Black Sword Clan?"
Senja tilted her head to the mid ages man and nodded her head "Yes"
Another man chimed in "Are you Princess Shin who was missing a year ago?"
Senja became puzzled by their question, but she nodded anyway without further thought "Yes"
Upon hearing Senja's affirmation the crowds were buzzing with shocked expression as they were visibly startled. The onlooker heart skips a beat and they get stiff as the narrow street at night turned lively until everyone one by one lower their head and in unison felt to their knees to greeted Senja.
Their momentum was really strong that almost made Senja stumble because of the overwhelming of the emotions, it proved how great 'Senja' image in citizen's heart, that Senja totally failed to understand it before.
The matter from 3 years ago apparently left the citizen in very severe conditions. Naturally, 'Senja' as the person who solved it had made the citizens grew incline to her as she had special place in their heart.
"Long live Princess Shin." All the people were constantly saying it. Previously, although 'Senja' name were spread all over the country until its corner singing her name, but ordinary people never saw her true self. This was truly a rare occasion to actually saw her in person.
Not only the onlookers, but all the servants and the guards that were brought by Sana also kneel on the ground including Yoda who helplessly couldn't avoid this commotion.
Senja who was become the center of attention all of sudden froze with horror written all over her face. This wasn't situation that she wanted, in truth, it wasn't something that even in her imagination would happen the moment people knew her identity. She never thought highly of 'Senja' and never bothered about her brilliant and heroic action when she was saving the Country from catastrophe, hence citizen reaction was out from her calculation.
No wonder people around her always grew anxious the moment she stepped out from Roccaleaf Tea House and noisily reminded her over and over again to not reveal her identity. She thought it was because there were 2 princes under disguised and it would be drawing hype if people learned about their identity. But, as it turned out many people already knew about them and because L City district 11 was the nearest village from Headquarters East Fortress, the local citizen were already getting used with the presences of military or royal family that involved in military like Xiao Tianyao and Xiao Wu Xie.
Except giving their respect when they inadvertently met one of the royal family or military higher rank, then they would as much as possible to avoid them. After Senja had been told about this by her grandfather, because of her ignorance, she simply didn't think much about that.
As it turned out 'Senja' herself was the real deal. They told her to not revealed her identity, not because for their own sake, but actually it was for Senja sake, for her own safety.
After a while of shock, Senja gained back her senses and walked to Yoda's side, completely ignoring Sana who was also frozen by the people reactions. She also didn't have any idea if the situation would turn out like this, or how much the citizen was worshipping 'Senja'. She stared blankly at the many people who were kneeling on the ground around her. Dumbfounded and lost for words.
"Yoda what should I do?" Senja talked in low voice to him, this kind of attention scared her as she sensed trouble in the future. How she could wander around the street later if many people would recognize her and make a fuss over it.
