KING GULF
Chapter 47's

Mile and the other hunters are done with their duties. They are now on their way back home. They rested by setting up a tent and were all busy preparing dinner. The mile who was warming himself in front of the campfire occasionally glanced at Boat. He was a little worried because Boat's attitude changed a little to him and he knew for sure because of some questions that Mile could not answer.

His attention was distracted because one of the hunters brought someone to his camp.

"General Perth?"

"Oh Mr. Mile. Turns out right, he's your guy? I'm just checking if he's not suspicious"

"It's okay. Why are you here? You alone?"

"I am with the noble king Up. Our camp is over there. We're on our way back to the kingdom"

"The Gulf King is back?" Mile does not know the current situation in the kingdom of Traipipattanapong, but he must meet Gulf immediately.

"Yes. The noble task is done so we must return to the kingdom. How's yours?"

"I'm done fixing it and I left some of my men to live there. Just to keep an eye on whether there are still vampires in the royal area" Perth nodded.

"May I meet your majesty Up? I want to say hello to him" Perth brought

Mile to his camp. From a distance Boat stared at his disappearance. Song rebuked him for not hearing his call.

"Boat what's wrong with you? Why do you daydream so much now?"

"No. Its alright. Let's move on" Boat hesitated to tell one of his friends what he needed now was to talk directly to Mew. Because Mew is the person he trusts the most now.

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

"Oh Mr Mile are you here? How's it?" Mile saluted Up.

"I've finished it. But just in case I leave some of my men there. And you better investigate the man who broke the protective mark. I think the sign was intentionally tampered with"

"Alright I'll treat your people well. Thank you for helping my kingdom"

"I heard the Gulf king is back. How's things going?"

"Gulf is very good. Now I can feel a slightly different aura with him. But it was good, he looked stronger and also he was more able to control his emotions" Up looked at the smiling Mile happily.

"Why?"

"No. I'm glad the Gulf king is back"

"Then I have to go back to my camp. They've been waiting for me. Don't hesitate to ask your honor again for help" Mile saluted and returned to his camp.

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

Gulf stopped his steps and turned to look at Mew who was still following him.

"Why are you following me? Go back to your room and rest"

"I just want to make sure you're asleep. Hurry in" Mew pushes him into Gulf's room.

Mew and Gulf lay together. Let this time the Gulf relented, he just hugged Mew. Only this time he felt this kind of comfort, after being tired of practicing and clearing up some of his problems. He needs to replenish his energy to deal with other problems.

"Gulf"

"Hmm?"

"How do you feel about me?" Gulf who had closed his eyes, now opened his eyes. Hows it? He himself did not know how he felt.

"I.don't know"

"Hm?"

"I really don't know. I've never thought about that before"

"All right, I understand. But with you who don't push me anymore... I quite understand your feelings" Gulf looked at Mew who was holding back his laughter. How could he understand? Even he himself did not understand.

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

Next day.

Shortly after the deployment of a sheet explaining about the Gulf king, the state of the city seemed a little chaotic. People argue with each other until a fight occurs. They did not expect to have a queen who was a vampire and now they have a vampire king. Most people curse him because vampires are cruel and perverse creatures with no feelings. The soldiers descended directly to secure the city.

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

Meanwhile at the palace, Gulf looked annoyed as Mr. Pond and the others reported that they had not found Mr. Weir anywhere and had only brought the rotting corpse of Mr. Nat. Gulf tried to calm down when it got a report going on in the city. Moreover, the incident where he killed his father is now again debated.

As per Gulf's estimation, his people urged him to enter the palace with a shout that voiced his king to abdicate and choose one of the higher-ups to become king. His people gathered in a large courtyard inside the palace waiting to meet his king.

Mew looked worried about seeing the Gulf. He was always next to the Gulf and never left. Mew holds the hand of the Gulf who resuscitates him from daydreams.

"I'm okay phi. Let's go meet them"

"That's it! A being that has caused all the trouble in this kingdom!" Bright and the others tried to calm those people down. Gulf only looked at the people in front of him who now had views of hatred towards him.

"Shut up!!" Shouting Gulf. Everyone immediately fell silent. They felt the pressure that the Gulf was exerting.

"I know how you feel. You want me to abdicate and replace the king with one of the higher-ups here? Ii'm sorry. I can't do that. This is my kingdom my territory. I've been assigned to lead this kingdom. Even though I'm a vampire, I still have the blood of a human. I was raised like a human being. I don't intend to lie to you because I just found out about this"

"Your majesty, then the king's previous events..."

"I did kill him with the vampire powers I had. It's because of my weakness that I don't yet know if I have such strength. But I don't regret it. Even if I didn't kill him back then, I would still kill him another time" Everyone was shocked and frightened. Moreover, seeing the look on Gulf's face that looked satisfied. How can a child kill his father and have no regrets?

Mew saw it, every word the Gulf said always worried him. He was afraid that the Gulf would lose its control as it once did.

"He's a more ruthless man than a vampire. I don't mind if you hate me, but let me defend and build this kingdom. Because this kingdom was developed by the power of humans as well as vampires" the look on Gulf's face instantly changed when remembering his mother. It was inconceivable to her how her mother felt at that moment.

"My mother.... Your queen must know, she is a queen who is known to be very good and generous in the community. He had to die because that man ruthlessly subverted his wife! I want to straighten this out, my mother didn't die of illness, but died because my father made her a victim for a ritual. The ritual could strengthen the army so that we could advance to fight even with a smaller number of troops than other kingdoms" Everyone was surprised to hear the truth. They loved the queen because of her generosity. The Queen did not hesitate to help her people. Everyone fell silent, reflecting back on it. They didn't think the good queen was a vampire.

"And this time, we have the enemy of a vampire working with Mr. Weir. Don't be surprised, the person you want to be my successor is trying to destroy this kingdom and reform it into the work he wants. If that happens, what about you? We don't know what he'll treat you like. For that I would like to invite you to defend our kingdom, our home" Silence no one responded made the Gulf a little nervous.

Is this how it ends?

I can't make them believe me.

You suck Gulf!!

"Protect our kingdom!!!" Shouted someone in the crowd. Make others also highlight it. The constant cheers made the Gulf's confidence rise again. The people who fought alongside him were proud of the Gulf. Bright joined the crowd.

"Live your majesty the king!!!" Bright shouted saluted and was followed by the people behind him. Mew who was next to him also knelt respectfully. Gulf could not express how happy he felt right now.

Mae I managed to make them believe me!

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

Elsewhere Nick and Weir come to a hut he used to visit.

"Lord what is this place?"

"Don't say much follow me"

Nick opened the door of the hut and someone in it immediately looked at him smiling. Weir looked surprised to see the objects in the hut, instantly he became nauseous from seeing several pieces of the human body.

"You've come" His attention was immediately drawn to Nick's hand.

"What's wrong with your hand? And you brought a human? For me?" The mad vampire was about to pull Weir's hand, but Nick immediately blocked him.

"It's none of your business and don't touch it. Where's my request?"

"Not like you really are. You sure you just want that stuff?" Nick did not answer and just looked at her.

"alright then. I'll take it, but I was gonna help your hand"

"Wait!!" The vampire silently held his smile.

"What do you know?"

"You want to know? You can but... Tell me who did this to you?"

The crazy vampire laugh broke after hearing Nick's explanation.

"Gulf King? Is he half vampire?"

"You know what?" Nick looked at her suspiciously.

"No. I just heard it" He went to a shelf and took a medicine bottle.

"Do you know why your hands are growing so slowly? This is because the sword that slashed at you was forged using eternal fire"

"Eternal flame? Is that influential?"

"Not if it's used by a pure vampire, but the one who slashed at you is someone who has half vampire blood" the vampire opened the bandage that wrapped Nick's hand and gave him the medicine he was carrying. His hands grew back. Weir who saw it was a little incredulous.

The vampire gave Nick a tube-shaped object.

"You just have to throw this into the barrier, and it'll destroy it"

"Alright, I'll go now" Nick and Weir sauntered away.

"Basar doesn't know thank you" his grunts look at Nick who's getting away.

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

These days the kingdom seems peaceful. Mew, who had been waiting at the door, finally opened the door of the Gulf room with people coming out. Mew looked inside and he could see the Gulf looking exhausted, he came in and closed the door.

"Bright can you grab my drink"

"Where's your drink? Let me get it" Gulf raised his head to see who was coming.

"C'Mew. I thought Bright was coming. It's okay to take it myself" Gulf stood up from his chair, but Mew held Gulf's shoulder and told him to stay seated. Mew took a glass and poured the blood in a bottle.

"Thank you phi" Gulf immediately drank it.

"Aren't you distracted?"

"What?"

"Don't you feel disgusting seeing someone drink blood?"

"I've often seen a vampire drink blood and even drink it straight from the human body" Gulf laughed slightly.

"Lately you've been smiling a lot"

"of course. I managed to make them believe me" Gulf stood up from his chair and looked towards the window. He could see the city from his window. Mew hugged her from behind.

"I heard that p'Mile will be arriving at the mansion soon I have to see him. Do you want to come?"

"P'Mile's back?" Mew nodded. Of course the Gulf has to see him. He has a lot of questions for Mile.

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

Without permission Bright opened the door of the Gulf room displaying a worried face.

"Your majesty he-" His sentence was cut off when someone rushed into his room. Gulf was quite surprised by the person who came to him.

"Your majesty you must help me!" His words made Gulf look at him worriedly.
