Yue takes Han on his lap and hugs him tightly.
"He doesn't hate you. He is just pretending to hate you so that you can live a free life."
"You're lying. I know he hates me because I killed my own mother."
That hurt Yue. Now, the 5-year-old kid thinks that he killed his own mother when that's not the case.
It's not even his mistake. He didn't do anything wrong, but everyone is accusing him.
Even Bunny also comes there and sits beside them.
"No, you didn't kill anyone. Who told you this? Your mother died because of her illness. It has nothing to do with you. Just keep in mind, your highness, your father loves you, but he can't express it right now. After all, you are his blood."
Han ends up crying, and while crying, he gets tired and falls asleep in Yue's lap.
After that, Song packs everything of Yue's and Han's belongings because Han didn't have any servants, so it's his job to serve him as well.
On the same day, a carriage arrives to take Yue to the imperial palace.
He gets in with Song, and Han, along with a few royal knights, arrives to guard the carriage.
After a while, when they reach the imperial palace, Chan is already waiting for them, standing at the door.
And Yue becomes the empress and gains the emperor's favor. News spreads like fire throughout the whole kingdom to the beast clan.
When they all come inside, suddenly they hear:
"Wait!"
When Yue turned around, he saw a guy with brown hair, black eyes, and wearing a sky-blue hanfu with many layers.
He looked gentle, but his physique was the same as Hao's since he was a dominant alpha just like him. His name was Zhi.
There was a very bright smile on his face when he was looking at everyone. And suddenly, he rushed to Chan and hugged him.
"My dear Chan, it's been many years since I came back. And what is this I heard? Hao has taken the empress. Is this true or not?"
"Your Grace, you can't do this to me. Leave me alone. I'm not an omega. I'm a beta."
Zhi breaks the hug while smiling.
"Chan, you sound like I'm some kind of pervert who hugs only omegas. I'm not like this. Where is my friend Hao?"
"His Majesty is currently resting right now. Let me take you to your chamber, Your Grace."
Zhi, who is a duke of the kingdom and Hao's one and only friend since childhood, is the only one who dared to befriend Hao.
No one else had the courage, but Zhi always gave Hao tricky advice so that Hao could also enjoy life.
Zhi was standing there when he noticed Yue and then his eyes fell on Han, who was standing there while grabbing Yue's hand. It took him only five seconds to know who Yue was.
He quickly went toward Yue and stood in front of them, glancing at Han and Yue.
Chan wanted to stop Zhi, but he knew he wasn't going to listen to him. That's why he remained silent.
"You must be the empress, right? And this is my nephew Han, right? OMG, you've grown up so much, my boy."
Zhi squats down and touches Han's cheeks with both his hands, suddenly squishing them.
"Oh my, such soft cheeks. Let me have your cheeks."
Yue quickly picks up Han after hearing that because of Zhi's statement. He looked like a dangerous person in Yue's eyes, someone who could harm the kid too.
But instead of understanding this, Zhi pouts because Yue lifted up Han.
"It's not fair. I also want to play with you, my nephew.
By the way, I also have a son who is exactly the same age as you. I will bring him with me next time when I come to meet you."
Han didn't react much after hearing that, but he was looking forward to meeting him since he hadn't been able to meet kids of his own age.
"What is happening here?"
Just from the voice, Yue knows who it is. Hao comes forward, takes Han from Yue's hands, and puts him down while hugging Yue from behind.
He was covering Yue with his pheromones too much.
Song moves away from both of them with Han.
"Oh, Hao… you're showing off your love life in front of us, aren't you?"
["Host, the emperor is like a big dog who likes to lean on his master. Don't you think?"]
"Now that you've said it like this, then I think it's fine if I'm the master here. By the way, can you tell me how two boys do intercourse?"
"Hehe... someone's getting excited, I guess? About intercourse and blah, blah, blah..."
"Oh, so that's why two boys do it together. I was wondering how they put their penis into another's penis. I can't even imagine this."
"Don't worry, I'm here to help you. By the way, did you understand the whole omegaverse?"
"What is that?"
Bunny touches his head, realizing that Yue is in the omegaverse dimension and still doesn't even know the meaning of the omegaverse.
Yue guesses how much he knows about other things.
Zhi stands there, folding his arms near his chest. His gaze is on Hao.
On the little Yue, Hao had rested his chin while hugging, but Yue didn't say anything.
He just stood there with no expression on his face. But seeing Zhi's smiling face, it was piercing in his eyes and heart too.
Chan was standing there beside Song because the scene unfolding in front of him was a bit unexpected.
"His Majesty has changed," he mumbled to himself while smiling at Hao.
Song was also happy that Hao was showing his true feelings for Yue. That's good; this way, he won't abandon him.
But not everyone was happy seeing Hao behaving so lovingly with Yue.
It was Han, who was gritting his teeth, seeing how touchy Hao was with Yue.
Han was small, so he couldn't do anything, but if he were an adult now, he would have crushed Hao with one hand.
That's what the little kid was thinking while giving a death glare at Hao.
"Fool emperor," Han mutters to himself. But as he says it, Hao turns his face toward Han, like he heard what he just said, which makes Han look away.
Hao finally takes his chin down from Yue's head but still doesn't break the hug, continuing to hug him.
"What are you doing here, Zhi? How many times do I need to tell you I don't have time to play with you?"
When Hao was talking, Zhi's whole attention was on Yue.
When Hao hugged him, his chest pressed against Yue's back, which hurt him, but he didn't say anything because he didn't want to embarrass Hao in front of Zhi.
Hao notices Zhi was looking at his wife, which makes him angry.
'After all, I was right. I shouldn't have made this person my friend. Now, when I have a beautiful wife, he is looking at him too.'
"Hao, why is your wife crying?"
Hao's attention quickly shifts to Yue, and as he sees those tears, he remembers Yue's wound.
He picks him up in his shoulder like some kind of object, and leaves without saying anything.
But seeing that, Zhi misunderstood something.
"What, they've already done everything, but my friend doesn't know how to be gentle? As his father, I'll have to teach him how to be a gentleman while feeling pleasure," Zhi mumbles.
And then, he takes a step toward Han again.
"Han, want to come with me?"
But now Han is ignoring him completely because he didn't react or say anything while Yue was there.
But once he left with the emperor, Han's blood was boiling in his chest, like lava ready to burn Hao at any moment.
But Hao wasn't there, so Zhi became the victim of that lava.
"Who the fuck do you think you are to talk to me? If you don't want to die, then don't ever speak to me again. Do you understand?" Han threatened.
Song's eyes widened, and he couldn't believe his ears. All this time, he had treated Han as a pitiful child—and now, that child's true nature was revealing itself.
Meanwhile, inside the room, Hao put Yue down on the bed and opened the drawer beside the table, taking out a beautifully designed tiny box of ointment.
It was a rare healing ointment used only by the royal family, which is why Hao planned to use it on Yue to treat his wounds.
"Take your clothes off. Right now."
Yue quickly crossed his arms over his chest after hearing that—he definitely didn't want to take his clothes off in front of the pervert emperor.
"Your Majesty, I'm still injured… what are you planning to do to me?"
"What would I do? I only want to apply ointment on your back so it can heal soon, little one."
Then Yue realized what Hao meant, so he began to take off his clothes—but it was a bit difficult for him, since he couldn't move much because of his wounds.
"Let me help you, little one. Why are you struggling by yourself?"
Hao helped Yue undress and gently applied the ointment to his back, then wrapped the bandages again.
From the moment the ointment touched his skin, Yue's pain began to fade.
"Your Majesty… it's not hurting anymore. It's a miracle!"
"Of course it won't hurt, since I have applied our magical ointment on your back."
And just then, suddenly, Hao fell down to the ground and closed his eyes like he had passed out.
"Your Majesty!"
Yue quickly bent down, helped Hao to stand, and laid him on the bed—but Hao was still unconscious.
Yue stood next to the bed; no matter what he tried, Hao didn't wake up.
[ "Bunny, what happened to this emperor? Did he die by any chance?"
"I have no idea what happened to him, but he hasn't died yet, that's for sure." ]
Yue didn't know what to do, so he came out of the bedchamber and saw Chan and Zhi talking.
