KING GULF
Chapter 28's

Up stared at Bright from a distance, he estimated if there was a big problem with his kingdom because Bright came alone. His mind is on the Gulf. Is she okay?

Up immediately approached Bright who immediately stood up giving him respect.

"After a long time, I just heard again the kingdom of Traipipattanapong called. And now... Whatisthis? You came alone? Where's Gulf?" Bright handed a letter to Up.

"For his explanation you can read a letter from our noble king" Up did not understand a bit, but he opened the letter and read it.

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

Up kept the letter on the table and was instantly speechless, while Bright stared at it waiting for an answer.

"Your Majesty" Call Bright.

"Where is the Gulf now?"

"In a safe place"

"Perth, take General Bright to his room"

"Your Majesty there is no time. Hows it? Can you help?"

"I need to talk to my dad first. So you can rest first of course the journey here is not easy" Up went straight away from Bright.

"General Bright come on" Take Perth. Bright did not expect this, he had to quickly bring Up to his kingdom.

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

Up went into his father's room, which is still lying in his bed.

"Pho how are you doing now?" Say Up sitting on the edge of his bed.

"Your father has taken medicine as usual so of course it's better" Up smiled a little awkwardly.

"What's wrong with your face? Royal affairs complicate you?"

"No pho. It's just..." His father sat down to listen to Up.

"What is it?"

"A messenger from the Traipattanapong kingdom came here" his father immediately put on a dislike face.

"Why was he allowed in? We have no relationship with the kingdom anymore. You better get rid of him"

"But pho, Gulf is in danger. You know Weir? He arbitrarily took the position of Gulf, and now they are looking for a holy sword to make him king. His kingdom is in chaos. Shouldn't we help? He's your niece"

"Don't call him a nephew. The boy killed his own father, I think now the karma is coming for him. I don't like it so let it go"

"I've been with the Gulf since I was a kid. I can't just be quiet. I'd better get there"

"No! You have your own kingdom. Now you're the king so you can't leave your kingdom"

"But pho..."

"Get out of here and get rid of the man" said his father. Up could not say anymore, he also came out of his father's room.

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

Bright was silent waiting for Up, until the door of the room was opened. Up and Perth go inside.

"Your highness, how? Can you come with me?" Bright asked enthusiastically.

"My father wouldn't allow it. You know for yourself since that incident, our kingdom's a little out of shape. Yes even though I have no problem with the Gulf, but my father might still be angry about it" Bright was instantly speechless. He could not return empty handed.

"Then how? Should I talk to him?"

"No. I'll try again later. My father is still in a weak state, so can you wait?" Bright of course became confused, nor could he wait for Weir to get bolder in the palace. But if it's not the Gulf, only Up might be able to help.

"alright. Please help" said Bright. Up and Perth are gone.

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

Kao observes Mew who is still unconscious. He was still unable to destroy the protector, even with his strength it was not scratched in the slightest. He has deployed powerful vampires, but still not destroyed. Nick came to take a look and Kao bowed respectfully.

"Forgot him. You better find Gulf and find those hunters" Nick said. Kao immediately left. Nick stares at Mew, expending his powers to destroy the protector, but still remains unsuccessful and only irritates him.

"After death you are still very troublesome!" Nick stared at the necklace around Mew's neck.

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

Win and First came out of his school gate after finishing his studies.

"What are you going to do today?" Ask Win.

"I should have gone back to look for the general, but I don't know where else to go" Win just nodded, his steps stopping immediately after First blocked him.

"What's wrong?"

"Look, it's Kao who's always beside Nick" Win looks surprised to see Kao who still looks fine. He immediately thought of Mew, he had not received news after the last time they met. Win seems worried.

"Where is he going?" Ask Win.

"Let's follow him" Take First which Win immediately follows.

First and Win peeked out from behind the wall. Both of them saw Kao who was questioning people harshly. Making First ignited by emotion, Win held back First who was about to approach Kao.

"Don't or you'll get in trouble, didn't you say he was Nick's confidant"

"But he hurt innocent people!" Kao also left. Win and First immediately approached the old man.

"Sir, are you okay?" First asked her to help him wake up.

"What's going on?" Ask Win.

"That man came to see me every day and asked about the Gulf king"

"Why is he asking you? Do you know where the Gulf king is?"

"No. I didn't know where he was, I saw him, but he suddenly disappeared from my sight. I really don't know"

"Disappeared?" Ask First. He did not understand what it meant to disappear like. Win knew the vampire had taken him.

"I have to get back to work. I don't think I can depend on this kingdom anymore. Huh... Do I have to move" he muttered as he walked slightly limping leaving First and Win.

"What do you think he means?" Ask First.

"I don't know" said Win.

"How many strange things have happened"

"A few days ago during the night something happened in the palace" Win frowned not understanding.

"What's wrong?"

"I just got back from the palace library. I heard a lot of screaming in the yard where Nick lived. I was looking into what was going on, and all I saw was people looking like crazy they looked in pain and right then and there their bodies were cut into pieces and just vanished" Win seemed listening, he thought maybe it was the thing Mew did.

"How about Nick?"

"I saw him running out of nowhere he was going where I couldn't catch up. Then I saw some soldiers hauling something and taking it to the dungeon"

"Do you see what they're carrying?"

"It's not clear, but I think I saw someone"

"someone? Who?" Tanya Win was getting more enthusiastic.

"What's wrong with you? Why are you so excited? You know anything?" Tanya First was suspicious.

"Whatchu mean? I'm just curious" said Win a little nervously.

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

Win awoke from his sleep, he slowly walked out of his dorm room slowly. He didn't want First next to his room to hear him leave.

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

Win drives his horse at night, he is still curious about General Nodt and he goes to the border as soon as possible.

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

Some guards saluted when Win arrived, and he was taken to the general's room.

"Send him to go!" Nodt. Win who heard it, without waiting he went straight in.

"General I've been here where might you tell me to come back?" The subordinates of Nodt were confused as to how to behave. They also have to be polite because Win is the son of Mr. Pan. Nodt looked at Win slightly in disbelief.

"Why are you so stubborn? You better get back to your dorm"

"No! Before we talk" Nodt gave up, he told his subordinates to leave.

"What do you want to talk about? If this has to do with general Bright, forget it. Assume yesterday's didn't happen"

"You're not curious, why are we leaving quietly?"

"For what? My job is to guard this gate"

"Now who's stubborn" he murmured slowly a little annoyed.

"What are you talking about?"

"No. I just want to make sure, are you going to report us?"

"I'll assume nothing happened. So you better get back"

"Alright well I'll believe you. But I've come all the way here and just got that answer?" Win is approaching Nodt. Viewing around.

"I've heard rumors that you and General Bright have always been rivals. But you can never surpass him. I wonder why you can help your rival? Aren't you gonna win if you catch him?" Said Win slightly whispering. Nodt who was writing stopped, clutching his writing instrument firmly until it broke which made Win quite surprised.

"Do I have to tell you? I just don't want to owe him. So now we break even" Clearly Nodt looked at Win sharply, which made Win slightly move away because the face of general Nodt was now very unfriendly.

"Oh.. Alright"

"If you act again and be known to me, at that moment I will send you to the palace prison" Win fell silent, silent for a moment. He nodded, a very awkward atmosphere now.

"It seems to be very late. L'm.... Gotta go now. Thank you for helping us, General. I said" said Win hurriedly out, he did not know what would happen to him if he stayed there longer.

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

Up returns to meet his father to deliver a tray filled with food.

"He's gone?" His father asked, unable to answer, his father looked up.

"Why are you silent? Is he still here?"

"Pho. My cousin Gulf, I have to help him"

"No. It's too dangerous you can't handle it"

"At least I can prevent Weir from acting at will. Just a few days until the Gulf return"

"No! You won't understand"

"Then explain what made you not allow me?!" His father looked up. He was quite surprised, his son could raise his voice to him.

"That guy didn't tell you? Or does he not know?"

"Tell me what?"

"No. Forgetit. Anyway I won't let you go" Up was silent, and he immediately went to see Bright.

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

Bright and Perth are seeing some soldiers training.

"I heard you have a great army. Can we train together?"

"Your squad is great too. Sure, after the problems in my kingdom are over. We're rehearsing together" Perth smiled.

"What's really going on?"

"Some of the people who served in the palace tried to rebel. Now the palace is in chaos with Mr. Weir's leadership. I hope your king can help because he is still a special guest of the kingdom. So he had his own place in the palace" Perth nodded. Shortly thereafter Up arrived.

"Bright can we talk?" Bright looked at Up curiously, he nodded.

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

Now that the three were in Up's study, the atmosphere looked serious. Bright was getting curious as to what Up would ask.

"Explain to me, what's really going on?" Bright speechless. He wondered why Up asked that question, when he had read his letter.

"What do you mean, your highness? Didn't you see the letter I gave you?"

"Right, but it is written there is only a matter of the kingdom which is now taken over by Weir and also the Gulf which is now in another place. Since yesterday I was curious, what happened until the Gulf had to live somewhere else. And where is the place you mean?" Bright fell silent, he did not expect that Up would ask this.

"Tell me everything, then I'll go" Bright looked up expectantly. Does he have to tell me everything? Is it gonna be okay?
