Wake Up As Gay Werewolf Prince [BL]

Firstly, Wu Jinhai’s house was in the middle of the forest, and it was no different from staying in the forest when night finally came.

Second, Wu Jinhai said that the door of his house would always be opened to welcome his wife, but Bai Chen was not his wife, for God’s sake!

Bai Chen wanted to scream right in Wu Jinhai’s face, and maybe he could throw a punch or two as well, but he held himself back even though his head was fuming from the inside.

“I want to return to my palace as soon as possible!” Gritting his teeth, Bai Chen replied to Wu Jinhai’s careless statement.

Of course, it was a careless statement from Wu Jinhai because the two points said by the man were meaningless. Bai Chen didn’t want to care about every single word the taller man said, and that was why he glared at the man to make him stop talking nonsense.

Unfortunately, when Bai Chen tried to act as if he was a ferocious wolf, he looked like an adorable puppy in Wu Jinhai’s eyes, and that was why the man in red chuckled instead of being frightened by his words.

“We’ll see, Bai Chen,” replied Wu Jinhai. “Now I’m going to answer your question, so you better listen to me carefully because I’m going to be serious this time.”

Just like an obedient child, Bai Chen straightened his back as he prepared to listen to Wu Jinhai’s explanation. Even how he sat cross-legged on the ground looked adorable, and Wu Jinhai smiled slightly before he started his explanation.

.....

“You are right that I failed to obtain the title of Crown Prince due to my condition. Back then when I was poisoned by the fish demon leader, apart from my father and mother, there were also soldiers and servants, and even if my father had asked them to shut up about what happened that day, the truth still reached the ears of the ministers in the palace, and that’s why they immediately found out about my condition.

They know that I was poisoned by the fish demon, and they also know that I don’t deserve the title of Crown Prince because I’m no longer fully human. That’s why they agreed to wait until my father had his second child, and that child was the one who would become Crown Prince. That’s the reason why I lost the title of Crown Prince.”

Bai Chen looked dumbfounded after hearing Wu Jinhai’s lengthy explanation. Previously Wu Jinhai had only said that he was poisoned, but Bai Chen had not heard the rest of the story. Wu Jinhai hadn’t told him what happened after he was poisoned, and that was why Bai Chen was quite surprised when he heard the full story.

“I actually don’t care even if I can’t become the Crown Prince, but I can’t accept it because some people take advantage of my condition. It was announced to the people in the palace that my father’s second child was the one who would become the Crown Prince, and that was why some people wanted to take advantage of the situation.

I can tell that there were two factions in the palace at that time. My mother is from the Western Faction, while my father’s concubine is from the Eastern Faction. The people of the Eastern Faction thought that they would finally get a chance after hearing the announcement, and they wanted to make sure that the child born to their faction would become the Crown Prince.”

Wu Jinhai continued to explain, and Bai Chen’s face looked tense before he finally replied, “What do you mean by saying that the people of the Eastern Faction want to make sure that the child born to their faction will become the Crown Prince?”

That one point managed to get Bai Chen’s attention, and even if he had several theories in his head regarding that one statement from Wu Jinhai, the Werewolf Prince still asked the question just to make sure that he didn’t misunderstand it.

“You think they planned something bad for my mother, right? If you have such thoughts, then you are not wrong,” Wu Jinhai replied, and even if it was not a direct answer that came from the black-haired man, Bai Chen could understand the meaning behind those words.

“So, those people killed... your mother?” Hesitating, Bai Chen asked the tall man sitting next to him.

Of course, he hesitated when he asked the question because the question was related to Wu Jinhai’s family. Before today, he had never been interested in the personal affairs of the people in the Wu Li Empire, nor did he know about the Empress of Wu Li. Who was the current Empress? Was that person Wu Jinhai’s mother?

Bai Chen didn’t know anything about it, but he suddenly wanted to know the truth after hearing the Eldest Prince’s story.

“That’s right. Those people killed my mother,” Wu Jinhai finally confirmed. “The people from the Eastern Faction committed evil deeds so that they could ensure that someone from their faction would be the one who would ascend to the throne after my father died. My mother was secretly murdered when I was only a year old, and a few months after the incident, my father’s concubine gave birth to a baby boy. After that, the concubine also rose to the position of Empress of the empire.”

Bai Chen seemed speechless after hearing Wu Jinhai’s story about his family. So, not only was Dong Lang full of dirty tricks, but even Wu Li was the same, and that was why he didn’t know how to respond to the man’s story.

“I know everything about it, and even my father knows all about it, but we can’t do anything because the Eastern Faction became stronger after my mother died. That’s why my father and I worked hard so that I could get back the title of the Crown Prince. That’s why I need your help, Bai Chen.”
