An Xiaomian sat forlornly through the night, her legs long since gone numb. As the sky lightened, she stood up and began inspecting her arm, curious about what kind of injury she had sustained.
But when she saw the wound, she realized it was a large abrasion, though she couldn't determine exactly what had caused it.
She didn't ask Nu Jian, but guessed in her heart that it was probably during his hurried escape with her that she got hurt by accident.
She then tore a piece of fabric from her coat and wrapped it around the abraded area.
Hearing the sound of fabric tearing behind him, Nu Jian was startled, fearing An Xiaomian was being attacked by an animal. But upon turning and seeing her bandaging her wound, he breathed a sigh of relief, then remorsefully said, "Your Highness, it was my fault for failing to protect you. Once we return, you can report yesterday's and today's events to Your Majesty and have me punished."
