Wake Up As Gay Werewolf Prince [BL]-Chapter 33

33 BEAST HUNTING EVENT

It looked like two pieces of diamond lying on the ground that was brownish and blackish. The white color seemed to shine even though the sunlight could not directly illuminate the spacious room, and the two figures were the center of attention in the room for sure.

The two did stand out, and even from afar, people would know that they were special. In the large hall filled with dozens of heads covered in brown and black hair, two people looked so different because their heads were bright instead of dark.

Therefore, Bai Chen could see the difference and could also say that the two people were exceptional. They had a pair of blue eyes like him, but their hair color was different.

When he looked around him, he could see that the majority of people in the hall had brown and black hair, and they looked more like him because he also had brown hair.

Bai Chen thought that he was the Emperor’s son, but instead of having the same trait as the Emperor, he only had an appearance that was not much different from the officials in the empire.

‘Is Bai Chen in this empire really a Prince? Why is he so different from the Emperor and the Crown Prince?’ The frown on Bai Chen’s forehead began to materialize along with the curiosity in his head. ‘But, my eyes are blue too, so I think I’m indeed the Emperor’s son.’

Bai Chen’s head was full of scenarios, and it seemed like invisible smoke was starting to come out of his head as he worked his brain too hard to find answers to his curiosity. He tried to think as if he was the director of the drama in this world, and he didn’t notice the Emperor starting to speak again.

“...So, that’s the reason why I gathered all of you in this hall today.”

Bai Chen’s ears could finally hear that the Emperor was speaking, but he could only catch the last sentence the white-haired Emperor just spoke.

.....

‘Oh no! I was lost in thought, and I don’t know what the Emperor is talking about!’ Bai Chen panicked inwardly.

It seemed like he was the only one who didn’t listen to the Emperor because other people in the hall seemed to be putting the label that they understood the Emperor’s intentions on their faces, and Bai Chen mentally slapped his forehead.

Since he stepped into the great hall, everyone in the hall was silent, and only the Emperor dared to make a sound. The officials looked like they didn’t want to miss any information from the Emperor as they earnestly listened when the Emperor was speaking, and they were very different from Bai Chen, who dared to let his mind wander when the Emperor spoke.

Just from his quick observation, Bai Chen was able to tell that the Emperor possessed a tyrannical style, and perhaps the Emperor could even slash the necks of people who didn’t pay attention to his words with a sword.

The thought only made Bai Chen’s body shiver, and he desperately tried to avoid the Emperor’s gaze so that the Emperor would not immediately ask: “Do you understand what I just said?”

Bai Chen had experienced such an event once, and that was when he was at his school in his previous life. He was not a diligent student, and there were times when he felt bored listening to the teacher in front of the class. That was why he chose to daydream while looking out the window instead of listening to the teacher’s lecture.

The teacher noticed that one of his students was not paying attention to him, and he suddenly asked the naughty student a question. Bai Chen was taken aback then, and since he didn’t pay any attention to the lesson at all, he could only helplessly shake his head to answer the teacher’s question. In the end, the teacher asked him to stand outside the classroom to reflect.

‘If the Emperor just asks me to leave the hall, then it’s no big deal. But, what if he cut off my head right away?’ Bai Chen’s body shivered at the thought. He watched several historical dramas on television, and he knew that the ancients were crueler when it came to punishing those who did wrong. ‘I can’t just ask the Emperor to repeat it, can I?’

That was such a bad alternative, and Bai Chen deleted the option from his head right away.

{DING!

DOES THE HOST WANT THE SYSTEM TO PLAY THE RECORD OF THE EMPEROR’S SPEECH NOW?}

When Bai Chen was so desperate, the familiar translucent screen suddenly appeared in front of his eyes along with a voice that could be distracting but also helpful at the same time, and Bai Chen felt like shouting “LONG LIFE, SYSTEM!” when he heard the system offer.

‘Yes yes! I wish the system to play the recorded speech of the Emperor!’ Without thinking further, Bai Chen immediately accepted the offer from the system.

Bai Chen was very excited, but the system didn’t immediately play the recording to him. Instead, another screen appeared in front of him again along with the same mechanical voice.

{THE SYSTEM WILL PLAY THE RECORD AFTER THE HOST PAYS WITH 50 POINTS. DOES THE HOST STILL WISH TO PROCEED WITH THE REQUEST?}

“...” Bai Chen almost slapped his forehead.

He was so excited because he was so afraid of losing his head from the swing of the sword, and he forgot that the system was too stingy. Of course, everything had a price, and even the goodness of the system had a price.

However, Bai Chen knew that asking the Emperor to repeat himself was not a good idea, nor could he ask the people standing next to him to help him save his precious head. After making serious deliberation, he immediately replied to the system with a “yes” before he felt like he was robbed when he lost 50 points, and his current point was only 110.

{DING!

THE SYSTEM WILL START PLAYING THE RECORD OF THE EMPEROR’S SPEECH. PLEASE PAY ATTENTION TO IT BECAUSE THE SYSTEM WILL ONLY PLAY THE RECORD ONCE!}

‘Of course, the system will only play the record once. I only pay once, so I won’t hope for a bonus from the stingy system,’ Bai Chen grumbled, but he got no response from the system.

Instead of getting a response from the system, Bai Chen could see another screen flashing before his blue eyes, but instead of appearing in blue with various texts, it was more like a video now.

He didn’t expect that the system in his head could even play videos like the video player he used to play when he was in his previous life, and Bai Chen restrained himself from producing a “Woah” sound from his lips. ƒ𝔯𝗲𝗲𝙬𝒆𝚋𝐧oѵℯl.𝒄𝑜m

[“We all know that werewolves and humans have lived in peace since a hundred years ago, and every year, we will hold an annual event to celebrate the signing of the peace treaty between werewolves and humans.

Just like in previous years when we held the Beast Hunting Event in the Forbidden Forest, we will also hold the same event next month. We have to start preparing for the event by forming a committee, and we also have to choose participants who will represent our Imperial Palace as well.

Even if it’s going to be a friendly event, we can’t lose to humans, and all participants must catch more beasts than the humans. So, that’s the reason why I gathered all of you in this hall today.”]

The video stopped playing, and Bai Chen looked speechless. ‘The Emperor just delivered a short speech?’ He groaned in his heart because he had spent his 50 precious points on such a short record. ‘But if I think about it, even though the speech was short, it was very important. I made the right decision by asking the system to play the recording even though I had to pay a heavy price for it.’

Bai Chen could only wail, but it didn’t last long as he could hear the Emperor continuing his speech. This time, he opened his eyes and ears wide so as not to miss the information.

“I will assign the Minister of the Internal Affair to inform all the kingdoms in Dong Lang and ask them to select at least one representative from each kingdom for the event, and from the Dong Lang Imperial Palace, I will choose the Crown Prince to be one of the representatives.”

Bai Chen’s expression remained flat after hearing the next Emperor’s speech. He didn’t know what kind of event the Emperor was talking about, but the white-haired ruler looked very confident when he appointed the Crown Prince to participate in the event.

However, Bai Chen was glad that the Emperor did not choose him to join the event. ‘Hunting beasts, ah? Sounds dangerous, and I would never risk my life for an event like-‘

{DING!
