Wake Up As Gay Werewolf Prince [BL]

Bai Chen didn’t understand what Ma Qiao was talking about, but he knew that the old servant was still talking about the sword that was given to him by Wu Jinhai when the two of them had just met in the Forbidden Forest.

He still hid the sword behind his back, but he also remembered that there was indeed a white crystal on the hilt of the sword, and he instantly thought of it after hearing Ma Qiao’s words about the Power Crystal.

However, he didn’t know anything about the crystal, nor did he expect that the crystal on his sword was special, so he didn’t immediately believe what his servant had just said.

But then he recalled the memory of when Wu Jinhai purposely forced him to hide his sword when Emperor Bai Guowei noticed it, and he assumed that there was indeed something special with the sword.

‘The reason why this sword is special is because of the white crystal on the hilt?’ Bai Chen couldn’t help but wonder when his memories flew to the time when Wu Jinhai admitted that the sword was indeed special, and that was why the masked man had asked him to take care of it.

It was possible, but Bai Chen still didn’t know the reason why the crystal was special because Wu Jinhai didn’t even mention it. Before Bai Chen could even question the man any further, the man quickly left the forest without looking back, and that was why Bai Chen knew nothing about the secrets of the sword.

Bai Chen knew that it was too dangerous for them to continue talking about the sword in the Imperial Palace, so he quickly grabbed his servant’s hand before dragging the older man to leave the palace grounds.

‘If I can’t question Wu Jinhai now, then I will carefully gather information from Ma Qiao. After all, Ma Qiao knows about many things in this world, and I think he will be able to give me more information about this mysterious sword,’ Bai Chen even assumed that the sword was mysterious even if it recognized him as the master, and for some reason, he felt that the sword was a little heavier in his hand when he thought about it.

.....

‘This sword is very strange!’ Bai Chen groaned inwardly as he continued to drag his old servant while his other hand tried to drag the heavy sword as well. For some unknown reason, the sword became heavier in his hand, and Bai Chen gritted his teeth as he tried to communicate with the sword in his heart, ‘Alright, Wu Jiang! You are not a mysterious sword, and you are not strange either! You are a good boy, and you are my precious sword! Now you can stop sulking, can’t you?’

Just like a magic trick, Wu Jiang suddenly relented after hearing how Bai Chen was trying to persuade it, and it felt light in his hands once again. Bai Chen secretly heaved a sigh of relief as he promised himself not to think badly of the silver sword again.

On the other hand, Ma Qiao was confused as he tried to pull his hand away from the Prince’s grip, but the young man was stronger than him, so he could only let the man take him out of the Imperial Palace.

They had left the palace, and they were already quite far from the palace when Bai Chen finally stopped dragging the clueless servant. He chose a relatively secluded spot under a large tree, and he then revealed the silver sword in front of his servant.

“You talked about the Power Crystal earlier. What is the Power Crystal you’re talking about, Ma Qiao?” The Werewolf Prince immediately ambushed the servant with a question while showing the white crystal on the hilt of his sword.

It seemed that Ma Qiao didn’t dare to land his hand on the sword, and he could only observe the white crystal before nodding his head vigorously. “It’s indeed the Power Crystal, Your Highness! It’s white, so I believe it belongs to someone from the White Werewolf Clan!”

Bai Chen could feel his heart pounding when he heard the old servant’s confirmation.

He was new to this world, and his knowledge of werewolves in this world was limited, so he could only rely on his servant as a source of information.

His pair of blue eyes were fixed on the white crystal that previously didn’t look very special to him. In his previous life, he had often seen diamonds in magazines or perhaps on television, and he thought that the white crystal was just similar to those diamonds. So, he didn’t think that the crystal was unusual when he just glanced at it.

However, after hearing Ma Qiao’s confirmation, he somehow felt that the crystal was different. Maybe it was just a suggestion his brain got after hearing the servant’s explanation, but Bai Chen still felt something odd about the crystal.

“Your Highness...” Ma Qiao suddenly called out to him again, and he looked up to see the old servant again. “Regarding this Power Crystal, it’s normal that you don’t know anything about it, Your Highness.”

One of the reasons that managed to hold back Bai Chen from questioning his servant was because he was afraid that his servant would suspect his identity. However, after hearing from the servant that it was normal for him not to know about the crystal, he couldn’t help but think that the statement was quite strange.

“What do you mean, Ma Qiao? You usually scold me if I don’t know anything about werewolves and this empire, but you’ve suddenly become so tolerant of me, ah?” The brown-haired Prince asked in confusion.

Bai Chen indeed knew nothing of this world. He was very ignorant, and that was why the servant would scold him often, thinking that he was a very lazy Prince who wouldn’t even learn about his kind and his empire.

Perhaps the real Bai Chen in this world was also like that, and that was why Ma Qiao could casually scold him without suspecting his identity. It was the one lucky thing he got in this world, and Bai Chen was grateful for it.

But now he felt confused when Ma Qiao did not immediately reprimand him even though he knew nothing about the so-called Power Crystal. Instead, the servant just said that it was normal if he didn’t know about the crystal, and that was quite a shock.

Bai Chen was waiting for the servant to explain what he meant, but all he could see was the old man trying to avoid his eyes. Not only that, but the servant also looked hesitant and confused, and Bai Chen felt even more suspicious when he saw such behavior.

“What is it, Ma Qiao? Are you hiding something from me?” The blue-eyed prince questioned the older man again when he got no answer from the man.

The old servant widened his eyes as he turned to the young man again, and he swung his arms frantically. “I... I wouldn’t dare to hide anything from you, Your Highness!”

The old servant looked terrified, but Bai Chen didn’t understand why the servant had to act like that in front of him.

“You said that it’s normal if I don’t know about Power Crystals, and that means no one ever told me about it. Am I right?” Bai Chen was not smart, but he quickly withdrew a hypothesis this time, and the old servant once again widened his eyes in surprise.

Perhaps Bai Chen didn’t understand what was happening in this strange world, but he could easily get the hidden meaning behind his servant’s statement, and now he was patiently waiting for the older man to confirm his suspicions.

He continued to corner the servant, but he didn’t get any warning from the system, so he assumed that it would be fine if he continued the interrogation as long as the servant did not feel suspicious of him.

The system did not hinder him this time, and he only needed to hear the servant’s answer, and he was very patient as he did not force the old man to speak.

It seemed the old man was afraid of something as he bit his lower lip, but then he finally opened his mouth to answer the question despite hesitating, “You are right, Your Highness. You know nothing about the crystal because no one told you about it, and it’s because your mother was the one who forbade everyone to tell you about it.”

{DING!

PROGRESS OF THE MISSION ‘FIND THE REAL CULPRIT BEHIND BAI CHEN’S MOTHER’S DEATH’

7% => 8%}

Ma Qiao had just mentioned the mother of the real Bai Chen in this world, and the system suddenly showed him the progress of his mission related to the woman named Tang Yanmei.

He didn’t know why the system had become so lenient, but he became extremely excited as he questioned the servant again, “Why didn’t my mother let anyone tell me about the crystal, Ma Qiao? Is my mother hiding something from me?”
