But she had no choice. She knew that it would be impossible for them to be together knowing the situation. After all, she knew very well her family.
They wouldn't be willing to let this go. Unless they die, they would keep on holding onto this grudge.
Syni Su was just someone but a weak child who was trying to be calm when outside. But deep inside, she's was also dying from hurt and hatred. Losing her dear mother was like a knife stabbing her for billions of times. She couldn't die, yet she wanted to die.
After letting her frustrations out for a bit of time, she stood up and looked strong once again. It was a cycle, when everything wasn't turning right and her bottle was full, she would let it out anywhere as long as she wouldn't be seen by anyone.
She walked with grace towards the gate leading to her universe. However, when she was about to enter it, a hand suddenly held her which made her step back because of the force. She turned around and her eyes widened in utter surprise.
She didn't expect that she would see the least person she thought would come for her.

"I'm here." Jin Rou held her hands gently this time, "I'm sorry that you have to experience this."
He also saw how Syni Su broke down. However, he didn't know what to do thus he stayed in the shadows. And when he saw that, he felt like he was being torn apart. It was so sad and painful, yet he was helpless to do something.
"Why are you here?" Syni Su could finally calm down herself and asked. But her eyes weren't going anywhere from Jin Rou. Her eyes were giving a lot of meanings that Jin Rou was having a hard time what did it mean.
"I want to be with you when you meet your family again." Jin Rou said, "One way or another, your family will pay us a visit. So why not do it this way? I'm the Celestial King, so I need to bear this responsibility."
Syni Su was touched when she heard the words "I want to be with you" that it felt like she was hearing something delusional. She stopped her eyes from tearing up again and turned her back.
Deep inside her, this was what she wanted Jin Rou to do. To man up and face her family instead of relying on his parents or grandparents. If Jin Rou wanted to be a good leader, he needed to practice it this way.
Furthermore, the most important part was that she could be with Jin Rou if he put it this way. After all, all this time she was the one who have been going to and fro in the True State.
"But my family is still angry about my mother's death." However, no matter how much she wanted Jin Rou to accompany her, she needed to say this first, "If you come right now, they might try to harm you. You know how beast my family are when they are angered."
The Su Family was known for being the most prideful family out there that even the Prime family had to give it to them.
"It's okay. I told you, one way or another they will come and see us. So why don't I just take a pre-visit to know the current situation right?" Jin Rou smiled, "Besides, it's impossible for your family to kill me. Remember, I even put an end to the Prime Family's legacy. So you don't have to worry about it."
Syni Su thought of this and knew Jin Rou had a point. Nevertheless, she wanted to be with him so if there was enough reason to do so, was she'll agree, "Okay then."
Though she was having doubts why Jin Rou was gentle right now compared to how cold and distant treatment she received in the past, she didn't pry. She felt that Jin Rou would open it up even if she didn't ask for it.

"To think that the grandson is braver than the grandmother. What is this, she wants you to take the responsibility all by yourself? She is the perpetrator herself here!" The Su Ancestor, the strongest of all the Sus, shouted in mockery, "Go back and tell your grandmother that if she wants to beg for forgiveness, she needs to come here herself!"
Syni Su was getting nervous for Jin Rou. Anytime and everything might take a turn for the worst as she could feel the intense emotions surging around the entire stone hall.
Out of all the people of the family, the Su Ancestor was the one who was maddest about it. If not for her father, Shila Su, stopping him. He would have already had wreck havoc in the True State.
Jin Rou's expression didn't change at all. In fact, he was very calm and composed like the deep sea. He already had expected that the moment he came here, hatred and mockery would be the only thing he'd receive. Nevertheless, it was fine. After all, no one here could actually take him on so there's nothing to worry about.
"Firstly, I am glad to finally meet the reverend Su Ancestor." Jin Rou stood up and bowed, "Secondly, I am here not to ask for forgiveness in behalf of my family. And lastly, I am here to clarify one thing."
Jin Rou paused as everyone listened closely. He then said with sincere tone, "I am here to say that my family, especially my grandmother, is not to blame about your Lady Keisa's death."
Hearing this, everyone was silenced. If a needled suddenly drop right now, it would surely be heard no matter how low it was.
