Ling Tong was laying in his room and already its been a month. The guilt was eating him away, how could he? Watching someone get rape before his very eyes. Unable to do anything just to hide in the shadow like a coward. All he wants to do is hide his face and the guilt. And even let Pang Tong down too. He just the worse. Turning over and pulling the covers over his head and hummed. If there was a hell? He belongs to the lowest level of hell. As the scene kept replaying in his head over and over again. In ever detailed down to the warlord's beautiful complex thigh tattoo on his left thigh. And to the look that Gan Ning was giving, that dark evil look. Just filled with lust, oh god! He gonna puke again. Jumping out of the bed and grabbed the closest thing and puke his guts out. As the tears begin to come down, it was killing him deep down. He needs to look for the meeting tonight since they didn't get to have that meeting last month on what had happened. Swallowing the vile down his throat. As it burns his throat as the pain reminds him of what happened. Taken a deep breath and got up, brushed himself. He needs to go to that meeting. But it wasn't until later on this evening. A nap and a drink...A few drinks would do him some good... A couple of drinks...

Evening...

The meeting was happening in the meeting room with a feast being served. Ling Tong took his seat next to Cheng Pu and Zhu Ran, Lu Su. As Lu Xun and Gan Ning sat next to the still ill Lu Meng, Qiao Sisters on one side and Sun Quan at the top with his wife, Zhou Tai on guard by his side. Everyone began to eat quietly. Ling Tong couldn't stomach any of this food despite that feeling, he ate. Act. Sun Quan begins to clear his throat to get their attention, they turned their attention to their lord.

"I wanted everyone to know, what had happened last month wasn't no mere accident."

Everybody was confused. Expect for Lu Xun and Lu Meng, Zhou Tai, and Cheng Pu, Sun Quan's wife. Lu Xun looked very ashamed as he turns his head away a little. Lu Meng had expressionless look to his face. Everyone waited.

"Wu and Wei came together and decided to come together and attack Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. Since Guan Yu did not want to give up the important location-"

Lu Su interrupted the whole thing, very disappointed with the whole thing. "And yet, breaking the treaty over nothing. Instead of just talking to Lord Liu Bei or Master Zhuge Liang. We could have gotten the area! Even with a simple lie or the truth! Instead of this nonsense! NOW! Wu is fully taken the blame of everything and beyond! AND DO I HAVE TO REMIND YOU! LORD CAO CAO SAYS NOT TO KILL THEM!" He never yelled before at all, Ling Tong choked on his food a bit. He couldn't believe his ears! Over some damn land! He knows it was important! But still! They could have avoided this! And... Don't think about it at all. Shaking his head and frowned.

Sun Quan held his hand and as he understands Lu Su. Before the older male can say anything, Lu Meng spoke up and sighed. "It done and over with it, Master Lu Xun sent a letter to Lord Cao Cao and Lord Liu Bei for a real peace treaty. And we will take the blame for this, apologize to them and the family. That it. "

Ling Tong eyed Gan Ning who was grinning happily secretly to himself. Felt the cold wind blows down his spine. Chewing on the bottom of his lips. His heart was beating very fast. Way too fast for him. Oh god! He doesn't understand at all. Zhu Ran notices Tong's behavior. Placing his hand on his shoulder. And the next thing, there was a large thud sound. Ling Tong had passed out, calling for help to get him to the sickbay.

Few hours...

Zhu Ran doesn't understand at all. But something was off about Ling Tong, he couldn't place it at all. But he gonna see if he was okay. Peaking into the room after he knocks on the door, Ling Tong was sitting up, running his fingers through his hair. Ran knock on the door lightly and he told him to come inside.

"Hey, buddy! You gave everyone a scare? Is everything okay?"

"Just tired that all... Umm...Can I ask you a personal question?"

Zhu Ran was shocked but nodded as he closed the door behind as he stepped inside the room fully. Taken a chair and pulled it up by his bedside. Waiting.

Ling Tong took a deep breath and awkwardly smiled. "What would you do? If you have seen something so horrific? That you couldn't do anything about it. As the guilt consume you. Each day.."

Zhu Ran was taken by and trying to process everything, thinking on an answer when the door swung open. And there was Lu Meng and Lu Xun, Gan Ning. Ling Tong clenched the blanket between his fingers. Smiling at them.

"Hey, guys?"

"Don't scare us like that!" scolded Lu Xun.

Ling Tong rolled his eyes and huffed. As the two scolded him and Gan Ning was making jokes, everything was forgotten for now. They told Ling Tong that the meeting for the three kingdoms would be here next month. Ling Tong nodded. Giving him an idea. To keep Shu Warlord away from Gan Ning. Hopefully, it would work, he shouldn't feel like this. But it was his fault for not doing to save him.

"I'm curious, about what would happen next month."
