Blood continued to flow out from Yang Luoya body. Despite the pain, he tried to hold back his tears to appear tough. Some of the group member went closer to help Yang Luoya.
"Stop, only Bai Qian who will treat my wound", order Yang Luoya. He didn't want anyone discover a black rose mark on his stomach. Bai Qian carry him and put him on a horse. Bai Qian will treat Yang Luoya at the inn. Yang Wei froze there in guilt, watching his brother got wounded because of him.
"Lord Yang Wei, you can go back first, we will take care from here", said one of the member noticing Yang Wei worried face. Yang Wei mounted his horse and followed Yang Luoya. His expression is unreadable. After arriving at the inn, Bai Qian put Yang Luoya on the bed.
"Lord Yang Wei, please step back outside the room, i have to tend master Yang Luoya's wound", said Bai Qian as he prepare his medical kit. Yang Wei protested, "um... c-can i help?-", before he manage to finish his sentence, Yang Luoya replied, "Get out"
Surprised by his brother order, he step out from the room and close the door. "did he disappointed in me", Yang Wei thought. In fact Yang Luoya didn't want Yang Wei or anyone knows he's an omega. From the novel description, Yang Luoya have been working on his image for years. He was known as a strong alpha or a strong beta. But more people assuming he's an alpha. If one day everyone else knows his real gender, he would become a laughing stock.
Bai Qian treated Yang Luoya wound for hours, and Yang Wei just waiting outside the room with guilty expression on his face. After a few hours, Bai Qian opened the door.
"Lord Yang Luoya is resting, you can come inside but don't disturb him", said Bai Qian. Yang Wei nodded and come inside. Yang Luoya sleep peacefully on his bed. There's still some blood mark on the floor. The more he saw his brother blood traces, the more guilty he become. That night, Yang Wei decided to sleep outside. Yang Luoya finally woken up in the morning. Everything inside his head was a mess. He lost in his thought.
"The real me would never step outside and take damage for other, but why...", Yang Luoya mumble. He struggled about his new identity. "Am i Shu Lan or Yang Luoya?", Part of him believed he's still Shu Lan, Yet his action until now determined based on Yang Luoya's emotion. A few moment later, a knock was heard.
"Lord Yang Luoya, it's me", it was Bai Qian outside the door. "come in", Yang Luoya let him inside. Bai Qian opened the door, "my Lord, our group ready to return to castle, if your body can't handle it, we can postponed our departure", Said Bai Qian. Yang Luoya stand up from his bed, "It's okay, i can handle it"
Since Yang Luoya still injured, instead riding a horse, he use a carriage. Bai Qian ride a horse beside the carriage to protect him and if he ever needed something. While inside the carriage, Yang Luoya lost in thought. If he returned like this, both him and Yang Wei would become a laughingstock. Yang Wei didn't help at all, and Yang Luoya get injured.
"Bai Qian", Yang Luoya called and opened the carriage curtain. Bai Qian went closer, "Yes my lord?". "After our arrival, i want you to spread a rumour. During fight i got injured, but Yang Wei is the one who give final damage towards the enemy leader", said Yang Luoya. Bai Qian was shocked, give away his achievement easily like that? even during fight, Yang Wei just become a burden to everyone else.
"My lord... are you sure? giving final damage towards enemy leader was a great achievement!", said Bai Qian unsure. "i'm sure... Yang Wei is our future emperor, at least he needed some achievement to boost people morality", Yang Luoya explain. "I understand... I will let the others know", Bai Qian nodded. After take a glance at Yang Wei, Yang Luoya closed the curtain again, he want to take a rest.
Yang Wei ride a horse not far from them. His expression become more guilty than yesterday. He stare at Yang Luoya who were talking with Bai Qian. He noticed Yang Luoya stare, but the next moment Yang Luoya closed the curtain. "..... He hates me didn't he?", Yang Wei mumble. After 2 days of travel, They finally arrived at Yang Castle. As soon as they arrived, Yang Luoya immediately went to his room without taking a glance at Yang Wei.
The next day, Yang Soren asking Yang Luoya presence as always. "It's me, father", Yang Luoya said outside the door. "Come in", Yang Soren let him in. Everything is the same as the previous visit, except instead of stack of paper, the bandit leader head was there.
"You finally come, congratulation on your bandit subjugation. I heard it was Yang Wei who give the final damage", said Yang Soren. "Yes father", Yang Luoya replied."lies..... that boy didn't even dare to kill a small animal, yet he killed this big man horribly?" Yang Luoya couldn't reply to his discovery. "Well anyway... you did a good job making a story. When he receive the crown later, at least he have some achievement", Said Yang Soren. Yang Soren patted Yang Luoya's shoulder. Yang Soren return to his seat.
"Since you're still injured, take a break for a few days", Said Yang Soren as he dismissed Yang Luoya.
It's been few days since the previous visit. Yang Luoya injury getting better and better. In the past few days, he noticing something unusual from Yang Wei. Yang Luoya caught Yang Wei peeking action several times. Sometimes Yang Wei just following Yang Luoya from afar, and sometimes just peeking through a wall. Yang Luoya still doesn't understand what he's trying to do.
Yang Wei just stare at Yang Luoya from far. He didn't dare to come closed, afraid he will hate him even more. "...i... i want to apologize... but i'm afraid...", Yang Wei thought.
