Chapter 004: Pure Silver Weapons

When Wang Bo heard that Princess Jasmine wanted to take matters into her own hands, he was not at all surprised.

Because he had already understood this point during the storyline. This version of Princess Jasmine is more self-assertive than the original.

The Princess Jasmine of this world was no longer content with the role of a mere ornament; she wished to replace her father and become the new ruler. Unfortunately, this was not the modern era, but ancient times.

The path of women's rights is destined to be one fraught with hardships and bloodshed.

In the great Tang Empire, a thousand li away, there was a woman who succeeded.

But that does not mean Princess Jasmine can succeed.

In fact, although Princess Jasmine of this world has developed a feminist consciousness and desires to be the master of her own affairs, she lacks the corresponding skills, and the surrounding environment does not permit her to take charge.

In Wang Bo's storyline, Princess Jasmine was sternly rejected by her father, the Sultan.

And this time, the reason she stepped forward was simply to prove herself.

Even as a woman, one can capture a monster.

But the Sultan refused without hesitation, "It's too dangerous, Jasmine. I absolutely will not allow my daughter to face such danger."

"With Hakim here, do you think I'll be in danger?" Princess Jasmine said.

The Sultan hesitated. He trusted his guard deeply and knew well of Hakim's valor. With Hakim's protection, it seemed he need not worry about his daughter's safety.

Princess Jasmine said earnestly, "I am also a member of this kingdom, Father. I want to do something for my people. Is even that not allowed?"

“But it’s very dangerous.”

The Sultan murmured, seemingly persuaded, his tone no longer as resolute as at the beginning.

Princess Jasmine was overjoyed and quickly said, "Please, Father, just let me try. I will bring more guards, and with their protection, I will certainly not run into any trouble."

Wang Bo did not interject throughout, because he felt that if this matter were left to Princess Jasmine, he could slip away to search for the magic lamp.

So he kept his mouth shut from the very beginning.

When he saw the Sultan fall silent, as if about to compromise, he grew even more delighted.

Princess Jasmine was naturally also very pleased, and looked at her father with a face full of hope.

But just then, the queen suddenly spoke up: "I disagree."

This action startled all three at once.

The queen persuaded him: "That murderer is far too terrifying. Sultan, Princess Jasmine is still young. If we let her go look for the murderer and she encounters danger, what then? I am well aware of Hakim's valor, but even if there is only a one-in-ten-thousand chance, you should not let your daughter face danger. It would harm her!"

The Sultan was persuaded. He nodded and said, "Yes, I truly cannot let my precious one face danger. Jasmine, let us leave this matter to Jafar."

"But…" Princess Jasmine seemed to want to argue further.

The queen interrupted her, “Jasmine, you should listen to your father. Acting on impulse is not a sign of maturity. This matter is indeed too dangerous; you must not get involved in it.”

Princess Jasmine immediately glared at the Queen with furious eyes.

The queen averted her gaze.

This made Princess Jasmine even angrier. She felt that the queen was deliberately opposing her, and she was even more indignant that her father was willing to listen to the queen but not to her.

So she turned and left without a word.

She felt she no longer belonged here, for whenever she saw the queen's face, her anger only grew.

The Sultan watched Princess Jasmine's departing figure and said, "Have I hurt my daughter?"

The queen shook her head and said, "No, you are only protecting her."

The Sultan's troubled expression relaxed considerably. He turned to Wang Bo and said, "Jafar, I leave this matter to you. You must apprehend this murderer in the shortest time possible. Do you hear me?"

What else could Wang Bo say, so he nodded readily, "Fine."

But Wang Bo had already made up his mind—to hell with this murderer. Right now, nothing was more important than the magic lamp.

After receiving the order, Wang Bo took his leave, turned around, and left the study.

He decided to organize his men right away, ostensibly dispatching them to search for the murderer, while he himself would secretly leave Agrabah to seek out the magic lamp.

But before Wang Bo could leave the palace, he heard footsteps coming from behind him.

"Grand Vizier."

Wang Bo halted his steps and turned around to see that it was actually the queen who had caught up with him, which surprised him somewhat.

"Your Majesty." Wang Bo saluted the queen.

The queen caught up and asked, "Is the minister now going to apprehend that murderer?"

Wang Bo nodded and said perfunctorily, "This is the king's command; I dare not be remiss."

The queen said, “Does the minister know who this murderer is?”

Wang Bo shook his head. He suspected in his heart that this matter was very likely the work of a vampire, but if the queen was not a transmigrator, it would be difficult to explain clearly to the queen what a vampire was.

The queen said, "Actually, I know a thing or two about this murderer."

Wang Bo couldn't help but look at the queen in surprise.

The queen said, “This is a monster of immense strength. He can conceal himself in the night and transform into a beast. Only weapons made of pure silver can harm him. Minister, if you wish to capture this monster, you must use weapons forged from pure silver.”

A weapon of pure silver?

Wang Bo was inwardly astonished. Could it be that this so-called murderer was really a vampire? A monster that fears pure silver weapons and sucks blood—it seems only a vampire fits the description.

In that instant, Wang Bo was almost seventy percent certain that this murderer was a vampire who had crossed over from some other world.

But the question is, why would the queen know this.

Could it be that this is yet another world of dual transmigration?

The queen is also a transmigrator, so she knows the murderer is a vampire.

If that is truly the case, then the magic lamp—did it fall into the hands of the queen, or into the hands of the vampire, or did neither of them find it?

Wang Bo grew even more wary, and he nodded silently to show he understood.

After taking leave of the queen, Wang Bo left the palace and began to assemble the soldiers of Agrabah. As a minister second only to the Sultan, the king, Wang Bo held a very high position in the country.

With a single command, in just over an hour, over a hundred soldiers were assembled.

Although Agrabah is a country, it is ultimately a city-state; the entire city's military strength does not exceed a thousand men. Over a hundred soldiers is already a significant number. If they continue to draw more, the remaining soldiers would not even be able to guarantee the city's safety.
