Prince Predator's Guide

Early the next morning, Bai Ye was invited to the restaurant to dine with the empress.He was thinking about Long Yun last night and fell asleep very late, so he was a little listless.The royal table manners made him very prim again.Fortunately, the two majesties took care of his emotions, behaved very casually, and kept asking him to talk, distracting his attention.

"Bai Ye, Long Yun can sense you sometimes, can you sense him?" The queen couldn't help asking.

Bai Ye hesitated for a few seconds, then shook her head.

The queen pushed away the plate in front of her with no appetite, "Where did this child go, he is very dangerous outside."

"Is he dangerous?" Bai Ye pricked up his ears.

"You think, if he is demonized outside, people who don't know will kill him. If a monster suddenly appears around him, the first reaction must be to kill him. Anyway, I will definitely do that. Media exposure, It will ruin his life too. With so many eyes on him, demanding that we watch him closely, he will never be able to live a normal life again," the queen explained to him.

Bai Ye lost his mind.It seems that the most urgent task is to bring Long Yun back quickly.

"actually, I……"

As soon as he opened his mouth, a young officer walked into the restaurant.Bai Ye noticed that he was wearing the same military uniform as Long Yun, and he should also be a student of the White Rose Military Academy.

"Is there still no news about Long Yun?" The emperor expressed deep worry.

"I'm very sorry, I will find him as soon as possible." The young officer replied respectfully.

Then, he turned his eyes to Bai Ye and asked knowingly: "This is..."

"Oh, I haven't introduced it yet. This is Bai Ye, the child of my best friend, and also Long Yun's marriage partner." The queen is obviously very satisfied with Bai Ye.

The young officer smiled lightly at him: "Hello, my name is Cheng Xu, I am the prince's childhood sweetheart, and I am his deputy in Zhanzheng College."

Bai Ye said politely: "Hello."

Cheng Xu continued to report the progress of the search to the emperor and empress.

Cheng Xu was born in a family of generals, and has been very close to the royal family since he was a child.He is about the same age as the third prince, and they have played together till the end. No one knows the prince better than him.When the prince was demonized for the first time, he was by his side, and they didn't talk too much afterwards. Therefore, the emperor and his wife trusted him very much and entrusted the prince to him, hoping that he could take care of the prince's body in the military academy.Cheng Xu always felt that he and Long Yun would get married one day.

He had also heard about Long Yun's engagement, so he went to check the file of that person named "Xi Luo" and found that he had been missing for several years, so he didn't take it seriously.I thought that the imperial concubine must belong to him, but suddenly a white leaf appeared, which made people irritated.

Cheng Xu took his seat, intending to express himself in front of the two His Majesties, talking non-stop.Bai Ye was embarrassed to interrupt, so she left the table first, and waited on the stairs outside the queen's study.

No, Cheng Xu caught up with him after breakfast, and asked with a smile, "Do you live in a slum in the west of the city?"

"Yes." Bai Ye said calmly.

Cheng Xu showed just the right amount of sympathy: "No one else takes care of you?"

"No." Bai Ye lied subconsciously.

"He's lying." Cheng Xu thought indifferently in his heart.Yesterday he took people to search the small broken house, and there were traces left by another person inside, but he didn't expose it.

"Is it hard to live alone? I heard that you were molested by a strange person yesterday."

Bai Ye hummed vaguely.

"But he doesn't admit that he asked you out, and he doesn't know what's going on with you going to the toilet."

"How could he admit such a thing?" Bai Ye lowered her head, staring at her toes.

Cheng Xu laughed: "It's true."

He cast his eyes on Bai Ye's bracelet: "Do you have a communicator? Add me. You just came to the palace, if there is anything you are not used to, you can come to me. It's not convenient for Long Yun."

Bai Ye let out a soft sigh, opened the bracelet terminal, and exchanged communication codes with him.

"Then trouble you." After entering, Bai Ye thanked him. "If there is nothing else, I'll go back to sleep first. I didn't sleep well yesterday."

“The pillows and mattresses here are too soft.”

The two said goodbye amiably, one holding the stairs up and the other down the stairs.

Bai Ye took a few steps and turned to look at Cheng Xu.

Just in time, Cheng Xu also turned to look at him.

Their eyes met, they smiled without embarrassment, and left.

Turning around, Bai Ye knew that she didn't get along well with this person.

Walking down the stairs, Cheng Xu called the royal guards: "Go and check his bracelet. The bracelets are all registered with real names. I want to see his call records from yesterday afternoon."

Above, Bai Ye knocked on the queen's study.

******

The queen ushered him in.

He found Bai Ye next to the door, biting his lips lightly, and dragged him into the room: "What's the matter? Do you have something to tell me? Come, come, don't be afraid, I'll listen to you. "

"I checked the prince's encyclopedia yesterday, and it said... he would go berserk from time to time because of the magic knife. I want to know more."

The queen suddenly realized: "For example?"

"How do you usually deal with him?"

The queen was a little surprised, but she still told the truth: "The entire basement has been renovated for Long Yun's sake, and the security measures are very tight. He will spend the rest of his rampage there. You don't have to worry too much."

"How long will it be?"

The queen showed an uneasy expression: "Hey, it's getting longer and longer."

Bai Ye didn't answer, waiting for him to continue talking.

"At first, the frequency of his switching into berserk state was very low, and it was maintained at once a year, without exception, in spring, and he would automatically wake up after two or three days. Now he has two attacks every year, in March and In October, each episode lasts 10-15 days. This regular abnormality gives us the illusion that he can be controlled. We send the prince to Hadrian's Palace at this time of year and imprison him here. Let him go through this rampage."

"Is he locked up like this?" Bai Ye remembered that Long Yun choked up on the phone and said that he didn't want to be a human anymore, and felt very sad, "He must be in pain."

"But we have no other way. When he was demonized, he was not like a human, but more like a beast. Letting him do whatever he wants will only hurt more people, and panicked people will hurt him in turn."

Bai Ye nodded: "That's true. You have to lock it up first before you can think about it—what did he look like when he was demonized?"

"The whole body is covered with black air and flames, just like a devil... Xiaobaiye, I am not a coward. I have seen many scary things, but I think they are not as good as my prince." The queen was extremely anxious. , pushed away the chair and stood up, pacing up and down. "When he first got it, it was like being possessed, screaming, roaring, and making sounds that weren't his. Now, every time he is demonized, he is very quiet, but it just gets stronger and more violent every year. He was Pay close attention, so there are not many cases of harming people, but we dare not take chances, he almost killed two royal guards a year ago."

"I read in Yinhe Encyclopedia that the prince will be demonized because of that ominous blade. Where is that knife now?" Bai Ye frowned, remembering the enchanted weapon that exuded black energy when she first met the prince, " Don't you think about throwing away that knife?"

"Of course we thought about it. Since the knife affected him, wouldn't it be over if we took it away? But no matter how far we throw the knife or lock it in the ground, it will automatically appear in Long Yun the next day. It’s very evil, right? They say it’s magic. I don’t really understand it.” The queen said honestly.

"What about destroying it?"

"I tried it. We threw the knife into the furnace, and the knife turned into molten steel, but it was dark red, like blood." The queen said with lingering fear.

"It means that the knife is no longer there?"

"What doesn't exist is its shape." The queen opened the drawer and found a photo from the case file. The background of the photo was very dark, and the person on it was blurred due to the movement.Although the person was photographed very blurry, the weapon in his hand was fully restored. It was a black blade with black smoke, and it merged with his palm, making it impossible to distinguish each other.

"The knife parasitized itself in Long Yun's body. If he needs strength, the knife will appear in his palm."

"So what we are actually dealing with is a knife? How much do we know about that knife?"

The queen smiled wryly and shook her head: "So far, no one has been able to decipher the runes on the knife."

Bai Ye hesitated for a while, and confessed to the queen: "I have seen the prince."

The queen stopped pushing the drawer and looked at him blankly.

"The prince has been staying at my house for the past few days. Remember when I said I was going to the toilet yesterday? I actually called him to inform him that you are here to find me."

The queen straightened up with a look of disbelief: "Why didn't you say it earlier?"

"I can't make up my mind... At first I didn't know that Long Yun was sick, but I only heard the news from you guys. Later he said that he didn't want to be locked up by you, and wanted to leave here and go to a place where there were no people. He was very worried. Sad, and I don't know the whole story, so I have no way to take you to catch him. I don't know whether what you said is true or not, and whether it will hurt him..."

Bai Ye and the Queen looked at each other, their eye sockets were slowly turning red.Bai Ye sat back on the sofa wearily, "I was thinking too much. You are his parents, how could you treat him badly."

The queen asked him to wait a moment, walked out of the study, and called the emperor in.

The emperor was very anxious, "Then do you have a way to contact him?"

"……Have."

******

Cheng Xu clutched the call record tightly and walked towards the queen's study.

The royal guards had extremely high authority and moved very quickly. Within 15 minutes, they tracked down Bai Ye's phone call yesterday.The pinch time was just a few minutes after being received by His Majesty, and the registered name of "Sullivan" was called by the phone.Sullivan is Long Yun's cousin, and at this moment, he should be in the constellation Aquila tens of thousands of light years away.Cheng Xu stared at the string of numbers, feeling a fire burning in his heart.

Sure enough, Bai Ye met the prince, and the other person in the rented house was Long Yun, no accident.

Cheng Xu couldn't wait to find the used condom from the trash can yesterday.They have slept together, so what are all these years?

Cheng Xu didn't want to admit defeat so easily.The call record he has now is evidence that Bai Ye deceived the king.

******

When Cheng Xu pushed the study room away, the queen was sitting on the chair, and the emperor was supporting the back of the queen's chair, both of them looked shocked.Following their gazes, Cheng Xu saw Bai Ye sitting on the sofa with her arms crossed.He appeared suddenly, and all three looked at him in unison.

Cheng Xu pointed to Bai Ye: "He lied. He has seen the prince, and the prince has been staying at his house for the past few days."

"We already know," said the emperor, restraining his excitement.

"I have already arranged an arrest plan. The prince's activities are in that area, and his behavior pattern can be analyzed, as long as..."

The emperor paused and told him to be quiet.

Bai Ye called Long Yun.

This time it rang once, and the other party picked it up, but didn't speak.

"are you OK?"

Long Yun was silent for a moment, then replied: "I can still understand human speech."

Bai Ye ignored the alienated hostility in his words: "You don't live at home anymore?"

"Ah."

"Then where do you live?"

"What do you want to say?"

"I... have been taken back to the palace, and I will stay with your father and queen."

Long Yun sighed: "What do they want you to do?"

"They want you back."

"What about you?" Long Yun asked impatiently, "Last time you called me and said you didn't think clearly, have you thought clearly now?"

"Think clearly."

"How to say?"

"I am with you."

"what?"

"I'll be with you." Bai Ye gestured on the sofa, "I can't take care of your family affairs, but I'll accompany you wherever you go. So it doesn't matter if you go home or not."

Long Yun's voice on the other end of the phone became soft again: "Xi Luo..."

"Are you coming to pick me up? I'm in Storm Harbor, Hadrian's Palace."

After speaking, Bai Ye hung up the phone.

"The prince will be back soon." Bai Ye turned her head and said to the queen who was sitting beside her.

The emperor and queen looked at each other.

"Such a trick..." The Queen shook her head with a wry smile.

"I didn't lie to him." Bai Ye lowered his eyes, "He knows."

******

On the other side, Long Yun pulled up the thread and recognized himself in the sketches all over the floor.The sketch paper was lifted up in twos and threes, and he randomly grabbed one, which was Bai Ye's profile.Bai Ye lowered her eyes quietly, looking gentle and docile, so Long Yun kissed his tight lips.

He knew that these words were spoken by Bai Ye himself, if it was the means of the father and mother, he would not let him see through it at a glance.

But he had been promised so dearly that it didn't matter where he went.

******

Early the next morning, someone walked into the garden of Hadrian's Palace under an umbrella.

When being led to the restaurant by the palace servants, the visitor smiled and said, "Can we make it in time for breakfast?"

The queen was overjoyed at first, and when she found that he didn't hurt a single hair, she was furious on the spot and threw the chopsticks away: "I raised you so big, you want to run away; Bai Ye will call you, and you will come back. Fuck you your mother!"

The Emperor gave him a warning look.

The queen was furious, but she bent down and picked up the chopsticks, and placed them neatly on the chopstick rest.

"Because the roses in the yard are blooming, I always feel that it's a pity not to come back." Long Yun put the roses with rainwater in a small vase on the dining table, and smiled at Bai Ye, "Good morning."
