After a long time they only chatted about his kingdom until late at night.
"Because you're back, tomorrow I'll be back in my kingdom"
"Why so rushed? You can't stay here for a few more days? We haven't seen each other in a long time"
"I have left my kingdom too long. Besides, I also have to take care of my matters in the kingdom. Maybe next time I'll come again"
"What problem?"
"I didn't know before, but my kingdom had a shield surrounding it so no vampires could enter. And lately there have been a lot of victims killed by vampires. I've sent Mr. Mile to handle it. So I have to go there too" Gulf wants to help, but for now his kingdom has a lot to do.
...****************...
Gulf looked up at the night sky through the window of his room. There was so much he thought about this moment that he did not realize someone was entering his room. The man thrust out a glass filled with drinks right before his eyes, so Gulf looked at him.
"Oh phi, since when are you here?"
"just now. I knew you must not have slept so I came here" Gulf just nodded his drink.
"You're not mad I went in without excuse?"
"It's okay" he answered briefly.
No more talking, Mew glanced at the Gulf who was busy with his own thoughts.
Does he not want to talk to me?
Mew was a little upset because he had been completely ignored. The last time they talked to him was when they were still in the forest. After entering the Gulf palace did not glance at him at all.
"Gulf" With some hesitation, Mew called out to him.
"Hm?"
"You.... Very close to the Up king" Gulf glanced at him.
"When I was a kid, he was my closest friend. Yes, there was Bright, but she was always in the training camp of the soldiers since childhood so I was with Up more often"
"Friends only?"
"Yes my friend and cousin of course" Mew nodded in understanding. Gulf looked at him a little suspiciously with Mew's gurgle.
"Why are you asking?"
"Just curious. You guys look so close that you forget me. Even now we can talk again"
"Sorry phi. You know for yourself I haven't seen him in a long time" Mew sighed. Suddenly Mew squeezed the growing Gulf on the wall making him a little surprised.
"What are you doing?" The two looked at each other.
"Don't you miss me?" Gulf turned his eyes. I don't know why that sentence was such a difficult question for him.
"Phi don't joke. You'd better take a break this late at night" Mew didn't answer and just stared at him. Mew approached his face making Gulf gasp his hands tightly clenched he did not know how and subconsciously closed his eyes. But after a long time he felt Mew's head on his shoulders.
"You know? I miss you so much" Mew hugged Gulf's waist.
"Have you ever felt lonely because of someone? As long as you are in the Nattawin clan, I feel lonely. Although many people are with me, but there is always less. When my plan failed at that moment I remembered you. Nick's strength is so strong, the injured me almost wanted to give up because I couldn't fight him. But when I remembered you, I was afraid that if I died I wouldn't be able to see you again" Gulf just silently listened. For him Mew was the first to dare to express his feelings without looking at him as a king. I don't know when he's always worried about her. During training with Apo, Gulf was often reprimanded because he was not focused. Mew always comes to mind.
Mew raised his head back to look at Gulf who was still silent.
"And you know what? Indirectly you saved me. If there's no necklace, maybe I can't see you anymore. I'm very happy. I wish we wouldn't be apart again. Promise me" Gulf had a little trouble swallowing his saliva. What should he answer now?
"Emm well I promise. Can you stay away now?" Instead of moving away, Mew approached her until her nose touched.
"Why? I'm looking at someone I like right now" Mew looked at the entire Gulf face. Gulf looked at him, he felt missed this face in front of him. He admitted Mew had a handsome face.
Fucking Gulf! Eliminate him! Why are you quiet?!
His mind could not even move his body. Mew cupped Gulf cheeks.
Tok tok tok tok
A knock on the door shocked Gulf and pushed Mew with a little force until Mew fell.
Someone opened the door and saw a slightly unusual sight. Bright sculpted he did not know if the king was with someone in his room.
"Ah sorry your honor. I'll be back"
"No! Come inside. What's up?" Gulf slightly glanced at Mew who was standing with a disappointed face.
"It's okay. I just want to check if you're asleep or not"
"I have to go" Mew and Bright immediately looked at him.
"You know so much about me"
"Where are you going?"
"Your majesty is late at night. Can you do it in the morning?"
"You won't get any information in the morning" Mew again ignored. He held off the Gulf who were leaving.
"I'm coming"
...****************...
Gulf was a little awkward walking with Mew in the middle of an already deserted city. Everyone of course had fallen asleep in their homes so that there was no more activity in the city.
"You okay?"
"Hmm" Mew ignored him a little. He was still a little angry at the Gulf's attitude.
"sorry. I didn't mean it"
"Forget over. Where are you going?"
"I don't know, just checking the state of the city" Mew looked at the surroundings, nothing suspicious at all.
"Oh yes about the protectors that p'Mile is working on... What kind of protector is that?"
"I don't know myself. I just heard it after returning to the mansion. I didn't get to see p'Mile"
"Is it possible that p'Mile can make it for my kingdom? Maybe that way my kingdom can be safe"
"Maybe. We can talk to him later" Gulf glanced at him.
"You... Seems like he doesn't know anything" Mew stopped his steps staring at Gulf.
"Does it look like that? Yes indeed. A little unusual but about his task this time, the people in the mansion did not know about it either. I was thinking" Mew didn't finish his sentence because Gulf brought him up on the roof.
"What are you-"
"St! I heard the sound of some people's footsteps" Mew tried to find the people Gulf meant.
"You see? Where do you think they're going?" Gulf saw a few people he knew walking in a hurry somewhere.
"Where?" Not answering, Gulf quietly followed the men.
Both are in front of a clothing store.
"You sure they went inside?"
"I smell the human corpse from the inside"
...****************...
Mile opened his eyes, he woke up while people were still asleep. He got up and looked for something in his personal bag. Some vampire blood bags he's prepared. He rushed to the place for the sign.
Three signs have been made. Other hunters think that the sign is only installed, but actually the sign requires vampire blood as an identifier. Mile didn't tell the others about this for some reason. He opened the bag and splashed the three marks with vampire blood. After that he recited a spell that made the mark absorb vampire blood.
The sign was done and Mile turned around to return to her room. Until the moment he turned around, his body slightly jolted in shock that Boat was behind him earlier.
"Boat what are you doing here?" Mile was a little nervous, but she was trying to be normal.
"I should have asked phi. What did you just do with those signs?" Mile thought Boat saw it.
"I finished the sign"
"Don't you say just stay installed phi? And that liquid, is that blood?" Mile can't hide it anymore in front of Boat.
"It's vampire blood. Once created, these marks must use their blood as an identifier"
"Where did you get that blood? Is not taking vampire blood forbidden? That means we're the same as those vampires who take human blood" Mile fell silent, making the rules at the mansion himself if his people shouldn't take vampire blood. But the manufacture of the protector was something he learned from the central mansion. He can only use this way.
"Indeed, but this mark would be useless without vampire blood"
"Phi exactly where did you learn this protective manufacture from? During my time as a hunter, only this time I heard about the protector" Boat really made Mile unable to talk. He thinks Boat is more and more similar to Mew who always asks until he can not speak anymore.
"Just something new I've learned. Let's wake up the others, we better go to put them up now" Mile immediately switched the conversation, he couldn't tell her now. Boat was still curious, but he obeyed Mile's orders.
...****************...
Mew and Gulf, who were watching the store, finally saw the door open. Someone came out of the store. Gulf and Mew looked at him.
"You..." He was surprised to see the person in front of him.
