KING GULF
Chapter 45's

Mew sighed, he could not be angry for too long at her, after all he was also wrong for acting thoughtlessly. Mew touched Gulf's cheek.

"I'm sorry. I was too surprised earlier. I should have known you couldn't kill for no reason" Gulf smiled. Mew was a little surprised, only the first time he saw Gulf smiling at him.

"You smiling at me?" Gulf's smile instantly disappeared, he himself did not notice it when he smiled. Gulf brushed Mew's hand away, regained control of his facial expression and sat down beside Mew.

"I'm not smiling" Say he's stupid for denying it. But, he was too embarrassed now. Mew held back his laughter and allowed his seat to face the Gulf. He just looked at his face.

"Thank you" Gulf said, he had to open the conversation or his face would heat up.

"For what?"

"What did you tell them about me?"

"They're who?"

"So I met the family of the victim I killed back then"

"really?! You met them? What did they do to you? You okay?" It was quite surprising that the Gulf met its people.

"I'm fine. They forgive me. So what did you say?"

"I'm sorry? I didn't say anything. Just a little bit. Praising you I guess" Gulf looked at Mew suspiciously. It was impossible just because of that, people easily forgave him.

"When I go around, I talk to people a few times. Just a casual chat but somehow they end up talking about you. They call you the king of assassins. I kept listening to them until I found out they were a family of people you accidentally killed and... " Mew glanced slightly at Gulf, hesitating to continue his conversation.

"I beat them up" Mew continued slowly.

"What?!" Mew flinched a little, he knew the Gulf would get angry.

"Listen, I can explain. They keep on denouncing you. I can't stand to hear it. It's just so they realize. I'm just saying how lucky they are to have a king like you. Their needs are always met. Just because some side of your kindness is not conveyed to them and makes you labeled as a king who does not care about his people. How can people immediately believe the rumors that are circulating without finding out the truth. Lucky for someone to know you when the disease that attacked the village of Khon made some other people silent"

"Then why did you tell them about the curse that hit me?"

"Oh that... I didn't say it intentionally. The words suddenly came out of my mouth. Sorry" Gulf nodded. He also could not scold Mew for something like this.

"Well.. Whatever it is thanks"

"Ah I just remembered"

"What?" Gulf glanced at.

"Have you seen the bodies that the hunters brought?"

"You're carrying a body?"

"Yes and that's the body of Mr. Pakorn who escaped from prison during the uprising. I can see if he died because of a vampire. He was found in the forest so I had Khom go back there to investigate again" To coincide with that, Bright came and Gulf knew what he was going to report to him.

"All right, I'll see it first. Wait for phi I will get you out soon" Gulf stood up, but a hand held him back.

"Why?" Mew very rarely has time alone with the Gulf, as he is about to go Mew a little unwillingly. But he couldn't help it either. Mew shook his head.

"Be careful" Gulf nodded and immediately walked out of the prison.

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

Gulf watched the corpse of Mr. Pakorn.

"On the day of the rebellion, Mr. Pakorn was arrested for plotting to get Mr. Weir out of prison but because of the chaos, he escaped. I think maybe he's meeting Weir"

"Give it to his family. So that he'll be buried soon"

Shortly after, Khom approached the two and immediately saluted.

"You must be the king's majesty, right? I'm Khom a hunter" Gulf saw, he remembered Mew once mentioned his name.

"Khom how's the investigation? Did you find anything?"

"I found nothing. But the place was too clean to say the scene. I mean around it there's no sign of resistance whether it's footprints or scratches not even blood found in that place. I think he was moved from somewhere else" Gulf nodded. It was clear Weir and Nick killed him.

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

Two days passed.

Bright entered Gulf's room and he saw Gulf taking off his clothes.

"Your majesty, why are your clothes so dirty? You're leaving again?" Gulf just nodded in response.

"Is everything ready?"

"You're done. I'll take a shower and get ready. I'll be there soon" Bright went straight to retreat.

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

Meanwhile, a bodyguard opens Mew's prison cell again handcuffing him and forcing him to come out.

"Where are you taking me?" There's no answer Mew will just see what happens.

Mew was led to a large field and many people gathered, including hunters and Gulf who sat on a chair. Mew did not understand what the Gulf was planning now that even yesterday the Gulf did not meet him.

"Let go!! Phi Mew is innocent!" Khom shouted with emotion. Mew was forced to kneel in front of the Gulf. Mew saw it but since then the Gulf did not look at him at all.

"Master Mew you've been disrespectful and have the intention to finish off our king and it's a big mistake let alone you're not part of this kingdom. Therefore, you will receive the death penalty" explained Mr. Pond.

"What?! What does this mean Gulf?! Explain to me!" Gulf was a little lazy to explain it but everyone was watching him now.

"As he explains, you will be put to death for what you did. So accept it" Mew was surprised by Gulf's remarks. Is he really going to die now?

"Your Majesty if you kill him, we hunters will not hesitate to fight!" The hunters who wanted to help Mew were detained by several soldiers.

"really? How are you guys fighting us? Even fewer of you" Gulf seemed to be laughing.

"Khom's! Be quiet! And don't make trouble!" It was Mew who made Khom speechless. He did not believe the Gulf would kill him. The higher-ups looked extremely satisfied looking at the scene before them at this moment. Gulf ordered him to begin his sentence immediately.

Mew restrains her body which is forced to bow. He stared hard at the Gulf, his eyes began to glaze over but the Gulf did not even glance at him.

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

One day before.

Gulf gathered some higher-ups into his room. They looked nervous after getting the call, the reason they saw the person called was the people who supported Weir. How could that king gather these people without being left behind?

"Your majesty, what are you calling us?" Gulf had not looked at them and was busy with his sword he was cleaning. Feeling ignored, they grew increasingly nervous and some others looked terrified at the Gulf holding its sword. Bright who was next to him looked pity to see the people in front of him.

"You must have known I imprisoned that hunter, right? The punishment will be tomorrow. Hows it? You guys satisfied yet? Or should I kill him too?"

"Her majesty he's an outsider who doesn't know where he came from. If you kill him it's good because he's been disrespectful to you. And again we don't know if he took advantage by coming to our kingdom" Gulf nodded in understanding.

"But you should know how much he helped this kingdom, and also this time during Weir's search, I asked for his help in finding Weir's whereabouts. But why didn't any of you ask? Though this kingdom has many soldiers" All are silent. Gulf looked at them.

"Why are you quiet? You guys know anything?"

"Your Majesty didn't ask because we believed in you. You called them for a good thing, for Mr. Weir to be found immediately" Gulf laughed, sounding laughable at their words.

"All right, I understand. I'm going to sentence him to death, but this is your request so don't regret it" The people in front of him look very happy to hear Mew will be sentenced to death. They think that Mew has always been a hindrance to their plans.

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

Now only Bright and Gulf are in the room.

"Your highness, do I have to tell Mr Mew about this?"

"No! Let things go" Bright was a little worried about the Gulf plan now, but he also had to believe it.

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

Punishment day.

Gulf has ordered his sentence to begin immediately. Mew was forced to look down, and Gulf closed his eyes. An executioner held up a large sword to cut him off, but..

"Please! There was an attack from outside!" The gate opened with a bunch of hungry-looking vampires. The hunters immediately realized it and immediately attacked them with the help of the soldiers. Fortunately, they did not hide their existence.

The higher-ups were frightened and the vampires began to approach them. Mew saw the commotion, he felt something strange about the vampires attacking. Usually they were indiscriminate and instantly killed their prey, but now they seemed to be fighting. Either it's just beating people up or just a little scratching them. Mew looked towards the Gulf, he looked relaxed by playing his sword.

Mew saw his shackles loose and he looked at the man who should have chopped his head off earlier, now releasing it.

"Phey!" Mew looked at Gulf who called him.

"Can you help them?" Gulf threw his sword at Mew who was instantly captured by him.

"I lent you my sword" Mew did not understand a little but he only obeyed. He quickly killed the vampires who attacked the higher-ups.

Mew quickly kills several vampires and the people around him see Mew's ability to amaze them.

A vampire attacked Mr. Pond who tried his hardest to hold him back. The vampire tried to bite him. No one helped him because people were busy with other vampires.

"Please! Helpme! Hey you! Get rid of him!" Mr. Pond shouted for help to Mew who was not far from him. Mew who heard only looked at him, did not know whether to help him or let him. Though a few minutes ago, the man insisted for Mew to be beheaded immediately.
