KING GULF
Chapter 12's

Cold sweat came out from Gulf's body, he felt his body was not powered. Something resembling black smoke came out of nowhere surrounding the entire room extinguishing the torch it passed through until finally the room was so dark without the slightest illumination. Gulf slowly retreated towards the wall, he had no idea what was happening now. What's he supposed to do?

Slowly, Gulf's vision opened, he could see even though the room was dark. He stiffened again when he saw the smoke begin to approach him. He tried to get away and took an heirloom sword that was displayed on the walls of the building to protect himself. He quickly pointed at her, but at once the smoke turned into a beautiful woman.

"YES..." Gulf said slightly in disbelief that his mother was in front of him. His sword fell down looking at his smiling mother.

"You're still alive? But...." His mother's hand stretched out to stroke Gulf's cheek, but his touch was not felt at all. Wh why? Gulf tried to grab her, but she didn't touch anything, no matter how many times she tried, her hands always passed through her mother. Even when his mother tried to speak, Gulf could not hear him.

"What'sthis? Wh why? Mae!" The knock on the door made his mother fade and slowly disappear.

"No! Mae! Back!" Gulf tried to reach for his mother, but no matter how hard he tried, he could not touch her.

"Your highness is okay? Your majesty!" Bright's voice sounded from outside. Gulf only fell silent, not caring for Bright who kept calling out to him. His mind was busy thinking about what was happening right now.

...****************...

Mew entered the palace, looking lonely there were only a few guards. He felt something strange from the backyard and ran away hoping nothing bad happened.

...****************...

Mew saw the people gathered looking restless and some people were unconscious.he was familiar with this aura of pressure, very exactly the same as the Gulf released when killing Off. Mew sees Bright banging on the door and tries to open it, and Mew approaches him.

"What's going on?" Ask Mew. He saw Bright's pale face.

"Your majesty is inside, and I heard his cry earlier. I'm afraid something happened to her, let alone that she didn't answer my call" Bright explained. Mew immediately looked at the entire building, hoping there was a way he could enter.

Mew climbed the roof of the building, slightly destroying it to make his way in.

Mew managed to enter and his balance instantly faltered due to the aura of pressure that was quite strong. He looked around and found the silent Gulf with his blank look.

"Gulf! You okay?" Tanya Mew but no response at all.

"Gulf! Be aware!" Shouted Mew. Gulf glanced at him a little

"P'Mew" Instantly the aura that was exuding instantly disappeared.

"What's going on?" Ask Mew. Gulf is back. He almost forgot something.

"Yes!" Without caring about Mew, Gulf remembered his mother. He woke up with all his strength to get rid of the coffin and immediately dug the ground under it. Mew saw it didn't understand.

"Gulf why are you digging?"

"P'Mew help me. My mother, she's alive. Hurry up!!" Little does not understand but Mew complies.

...****************...

Upon reaching the underground coffin, Gulf hesitated to open it. But he kept opening it. He was surprised to see only the bones in the coffin.

"Gulf your mother is dead"

"But I saw him!! Really!!!" Gulf looked at the ring on the finger of the human bone, indicating that it belonged to his mother. He didn't understand, if he saw his mother now then who he saw. Is he hallucinating? Gulf was silent about the many questions in his brain that he had to ask who. Mew was still looking into the coffin, for him who was a hunter he knew there was something strange about the bones. He also glanced at the Gulf. Remembering his conversation with Mile. Gulf is indeed a vampire but it is not yet known where he got vampire blood in his body, but after he saw the rest of the queen's bones, Mew began to understand it.

"Gulf can I ask you something?" Mew asked a little hesitantly, Gulf looked at Mew.

"Your mother.... A vampire?" Ask Mew. Gulf was of course surprised and also angry that Mew asked like that. Why does everyone say he and his mother belong to that bloodsucking creature.

"What empty egg is that?! You said my mom was a vampire?!" Tanya Gulf clutching Mew's shirt.

"Calm Gulf, I just asked. Know it? The bones of a human and the bones of a vampire are different. Now that it's all clear, you can see the vampires you also have your own power, all because you have the blood of a vampire" Gulf's emotions are mounting. He doesn't like to hear it. Moreover, the one who said it now was Mew. He felt even more pain coming out of his mouth.

"Shut up!! My mother is human! I'm a human too!You better get out of here!!"

"But Gulf"

"Go!!" Gulf pushed Mew until he took a few steps back. Mew was speechless looking at Gulf who looked very angry but with her tears flowing. Mew said he opened the door and he immediately saw Bright who was quite surprised, but he went straight through and left.

...****************...

Bright kept a glass filled with warm tea in front of the Gulf. After a few hours, Gulf calmed down.

"You okay?" Gulf asked a little to make Bright surprised. The first thing he asked was his condition.

"I'm good. How're you? I saw Mew go straight away. You guys quarreling?" Gulf sipped his tea.

"Don't say his name"

"alright. So what happened just now? I called you a few times but there was no answer"

"Queen? But the queen is dead. You're hallucinating?" Bright Remark.

"I don't know either. I even dug up his grave earlier"

"What?! You dug up the queen's grave?! You crazy?!" Gulf looked at him sharply. Since when did Bright dare to call him crazy. Bright exhaled heavily, he was not in deep thought with his king.

"I just want to prove what I saw"

"So what's the result?"

"Mae's in her grave"

"Look, you're just hallucinating. You better get some rest now" Bright said, leaving the Gulf alone.

...****************...

Mew looked up at the night sky, tonight he couldn't sleep, his mind was on the Gulf. Is he okay now?

"Why haven't you slept?" Ask Mile who's coming.

"I can't sleep yet. How's yours?"

"Just want to get some fresh air" Mew just nodded in understanding.

Both are silent, Mile occasionally glances at Mew, he knows very well if Mew is thinking about something but he does not want to ask and chooses to wait for Mew to speak for himself.

"Phi has something I want to talk about"

"Finally..." Mew frowned not understanding.

"You know why I didn't come back? I'm waiting for you to talk" Mew laughed a little.

"Sorry phi. You know best about me"

"of course. So what's up? You're fighting with the Gulf again?" Mew nodded.

"But there is something more important. Did you know that the queen of Traipipattanapong is a vampire?"

"What's? Whatchu mean?"

"I saw the queen's bones. So Gulf was born of a human and a vampire"

"really? So the queen's a vampire?" Mew nodded.

"Hmm everything is clear now. But the vampire bones...."

"You think the same thing about me?" Ask Mew.

"The demise of a vampire's corpse will fuse without a trace or shrink, but if it becomes bone like a human..."

"His death was accompanied by a ritual" Mew continued. Mile nodded. What happened to the queen? How did he die?

"Oh yeah what if tomorrow you bring her here?" Mew was a little surprised.

"Phi. You're... Won't do..."

"No. He never hurt humans so I'm not gonna take it off you take it easy"

"You're right. But I don't think I can see him. He's mad at me"

"What's wrong?"

"When I said her mother was a vampire, she was very angry and immediately kicked me out"

"Hm what if tomorrow you come with me to see him? You can apologize to her" Mew thought silently.

"Don't think too much. Tomorrow you come with me no rejection. Now rest. People still need you. Don't let you get sick either" Mile patted Mew's shoulder and headed straight for her room.

...****************...

Gulf stared around him looking at the book neatly lined up on a shelf. Until he saw a sword that caught his attention, he approached but the closer he approached it began to move out of its sheath and

Jebbb!!!

Gulf held his breath seeing the sword piercing his stomach.
