75 WHITE VS BLACK, THE TRUTH
Bai Chen liked girls, and he even wanted to score a goal with his girlfriend before he died on top of his girlfriend’s soft breasts.
He also wanted to marry a girl, and even his mother said that his luck with women would be great because of the lucky mole on the bottom corner of his eye.
And maybe his mother in his previous life wasn’t exaggerating because he could once again be close to a girl in this world even if he lost his lucky mole.
When he thought that he would be stuck with the label “Gay Werewolf Prince” in this world, he was shocked that the Emperor suddenly asked him to marry a girl after the Beast Hunting Event.
It was like a dream come true, but for some reason, he didn’t feel happy about it.
[“She’s a girl from the Black Werewolf Clan, and her father actually wanted her to marry your half-brother. They even officially proposed a few years ago, but I rejected the proposal because the Crown Prince in Dong Lang can only marry a girl from the White Werewolf Clan. Because of my refusal, the Black Werewolf Clan is angry with me, and I suspect they are plotting a rebellion against me. That’s why you must marry the girl from the Black Werewolf Clan to maintain a peaceful atmosphere here in the empire.”]
That was the explanation he heard from Bai Guowei before he left Zuigao Hall.
From the start, he had felt that the marriage would not be simple, and that was why he did not feel happy even if he had the chance to marry a girl in this world.
He had to marry a girl for political purposes, and he didn’t even know who the girl was. He thought that it might be better for him if the marriage plans didn’t exist even if it involved a girl and not a man.
.....
What’s more, he transmigrated into this world as a gay Werewolf Prince, so he wasn’t sure if the system would be fine if he ended up marrying a girl and would automatically straighten out the real Bai Chen’s sexual orientation in this world.
It felt like there were tangled threads in his head, and he even nearly fell when he walked down the stairs after leaving the hall. Luckily, Ma Qiao saved him in time by holding his hand.
“Be careful, Your Highness! Why do you look so bad after leaving Zuigao Hall? What did His Majesty say to you to make you act like this?” As expected, the servant questioned him worriedly.
Bai Chen didn’t tell Ma Qiao about what he heard from the Emperor, so it was only natural that the servant didn’t know the reason behind his blank state today.
He looked like a computer that was having an error right now, and he couldn’t even function properly as he walked asynchronously between his four limbs.
Ma Qiao was worried when he saw his master’s strange behavior, so he decided to take his master’s hand so that he would sit on the stairs. He did say that a Prince shouldn’t sit on the stairs like that, but because he was too worried about the Prince, he decided to ignore it.
And it seemed that Bai Chen didn’t even remember what his servant said about sitting on the stairs the other day because he just dropped his butt on the stairs without saying anything.
“Tell me what happened earlier, Your Highness. You look very pale now, and your head is even covered in a cold sweat,” the servant spoke as he used his right hand to wipe the sweat from Bai Chen’s forehead.
Bai Chen wasn’t in the mood to speak, but he thought that maybe he could lessen the burden in his heart if he spilled everything onto his servant.
Thus, he decided to speak, “The Emperor wants me to marry a girl after the Beast Hunting Event.”
The one-sentence statement left his lips weakly, and he could hear Ma Qiao gasping for air afterward.
“What?” The old man even asked in a surprised tone. “Why would the Emperor want you to marry a girl, Your Highness? Everyone in the empire knows that you prefer to use your chrysanthemum over your sword, but the Emperor still asks you to marry a girl?”
Bai Chen facepalmed. He just wanted to share the burden with Ma Qiao, but the servant gave him an unexpected response.
It was actually not that unexpected when Bai Chen recalled the memories of how Ma Qiao had treated him. Ma Qiao even thought that he was allergic to women, so the servant must be surprised to learn that he had to marry a woman.
If the real him wasn’t in his current body, he would see Ma Qiao’s words as a way to humiliate him. The servant dared to say that he preferred to use his ass over his dick, and it sounded like his dick wasn’t working properly or something.
It was truly an insult, but Bai Chen chose to put his feelings aside as he asked the maid, “Do you know about the Black Werewolf Clan, Ma Qiao?”
Bai Guowei did mention the Black Werewolf Clan earlier. The Emperor said that the girl he had to marry was from the clan, but he knew nothing about the clan.
“You really didn’t read any books when your teacher asked you to do that, did you, Your Majesty?” Instead of giving an immediate answer, Ma Qiao scolded him. “The Black Werewolf Clan is another powerful clan in this empire apart from the White Werewolf Clan. They are powerful and influential, and that’s why they often challenge the White Werewolf Clan because they are also aiming for the throne. If I don’t remember wrongly, their clan started causing trouble in this empire about two decades ago, but I don’t remember the exact year.”
Bai Guowei had indeed said that the marriage plan would help people to live in a warm and peaceful atmosphere in the empire, and now Bai Chen could understand the reason.
Just like in his previous life, there would always be opposition against the government. He lived in the modern world before, so the terms were different from those used in this world. However, Bai Chen could understand that the concept should be the same.
And just like the stories he used to read in romance novels in his previous life, strong people tended to reduce the tension between them by marriage, and it seemed like people in this world were no different.
Instead of staying on opposite sides, they would choose to hold hands with each other to start new domination using the marriage. Bai Chen could understand the purpose, but it was still difficult for him to accept the marriage plan.
‘Is it because I’m currently in the real Bai Chen’s body that I feel reluctant to accept a marriage with a girl? The real Bai Chen is gay, so he will surely be against this marriage,’ Bai Chen thought with a frown.
He didn’t even know what kind of girl he would marry, and he didn’t want to marry someone he didn’t love. It might sound cheesy, but when he was in his previous life, Bai Chen had always wanted to marry his true love.
The thought was stupid, and Bai Chen sighed before starting to walk down the stairs. Ma Qiao looked surprised, but he followed him as he also got up from his sitting position.
Even if Bai Chen was surprised by the Emperor’s plan, he had made up his mind now. The wedding would only be held after the Beast Hunting Event, so he chose to focus on the event for now.
With that in mind, he continued down the stairs again, and Ma Qiao followed him closely. “What are you going to do now, Your Highness?” The servant asked him.
That was a good question from his servant, and Bai Chen sighed again before replying, “I will prepare for the Beast Hunting Event with Zhu Ge. He said that he will help me prepare.”
He had found information that the event would be held in less than fifteen days, so he knew that he should focus on the event for now. Fortunately, Zhu Ge had agreed to help him, so he could rest easy now.
“I don’t think Zhu Ge would be able to help you, Your Highness,” Ma Qiao spoke again, and it was enough to stop Bai Chen’s steps.
“What do you mean?” The Prince asked while frowning.
“You really don’t know, Your Highness?” Ma Qiao asked back instead of answering, and Bai Chen’s frown deepened. “There will be a full moon in a week, and no humans are allowed to stay in the Dong Lang Empire for the next two weeks. Zhu Ge must leave the empire tomorrow, Your Highness.”
It was new information for Bai Chen, and his breath caught before he could ask, “Why can’t humans stay in this empire for the next two weeks? Does Zhu Ge really have to leave?”
