KING GULF
Chapter 52: Season 2

Several trains lined the road that ran through the forest. A road made especially for royal members, directly connecting the city and a place that is quite secretive to the people.

On one of the trains, there was a princess with a face that bent in annoyance. He had just returned from a visit to a place at the behest of his father, the king. His personal servant who had been beside him seemed worried, he knew how the princess felt. He had very often heard the princess complaining about his problems, but as a servant of course he could not help anything.

"Your highness, we'll be there soon" said the servant.

"Truly absurd, what crazy thought is that?! I don't understand, why do I always have to do it?! If only that person wasn't stupid!!" The servant knew who the princess meant as a fool. He had heard it many times, but it was still shocking. How could a little brother call his own brother a fool?

"Your majesty, I'm sure your majesty the king does this for your happiness"

"My happiness, huh? How hilarious! If it was like that, he wouldn't force me" the servant silenced. He always tried to entertain even though the results always failed like this.

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

Jane May is a princess of the Ratanaporn kingdom. The second of two children, he has an older brother named Kiet Sunan who is now a crown prince in his kingdom. Jane is known for her kindness and beauty that makes the palace always get some applications from famous people in his kingdom or from other kingdoms. But always immediately he refused, even to see the person who proposed to him was lazy. But this time, the king who is his father continues to urge him to accept an arranged marriage with the person he has set. In order to help his own kingdom, he had to accept the match.

Arriving at the palace, Jane quickly walked over to her room. He was tired and did not want to see anyone. Jane should have met her father, but she was too lazy to see him. His steps stopped when someone passed him.

"Finally you're home" Jane looked at her smiling sister warmly welcoming her. But he hated it, his brother was not like this. Jane is so proud to have a sister who always cared about her. But, after an accident, her brother has changed greatly. Her brother's attitude became childlike, careless, stupid and unreliable. He did not understand how his father could make him crown prince.

"Hm" Jane waltzed past him just like that. He always stayed away from her and was no longer interested in getting close to her. Kiet just stared at the departure of her sister. He was sad, the more days his sister kept away from him.

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

Jane woke up from her sleep, she slightly opened her eyes. The light coming into his room was really very disturbing. Why is time so fast? He felt he had just closed his eyes, but the morning had returned.

"Your highness, you should immediately prepare to meet the king's majesty" Jane motionless and simply hid her body under her thick blanket.

"Your majesty"

"I know! I'll wake up" Although reluctant, he finally got out of bed.

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

Jane knocked on her father's office door. After he was allowed to enter, the door opened and a few people inside were enough to surprise him. Jane looked at her father not understanding.

"Dad, why are there vampires here?" The king smiled and told him to go inside.

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

While it was far away, the condition of the royal palace of Traipipattanapong was busy, the servants walked to and fro arranging food and also some decorations to welcome guests tonight.

While in another room, Mew seemed busy tidying up the clothes worn by the Gulf. He also placed the Gulf in a chair facing the glass. Mew skillfully tried to style Gulf's hair. Gulf just fell silent to let Mew do as he pleased.

"Why is it so long?"

"You're a king of course your appearance should look good" Gulf only sighed.

"I don't understand, you have a lot of servants. Isn't it usual for a king to be served while preparing?" Mew had Gulf stand up and face him. He looked at the handsome Gulf look in front of him and tidied up some small things that disturbed his view.

"I'm more comfortable doing it myself. They're quite ready for my clothes"

"Goodoo. Nobody touches you"

"Don't you touch me now?" Mew pulled Gulf's waist and hugged him tightly.

"I'm different of course. Besides I've touched everything" Mew brought his head closer to grabbing Gulf's lips. Gulf just stared at him who was getting closer.

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

Bright walked quickly towards his king's room. Before he could go straight in, but this time he knew his king was not alone in his room. He knocked on the door waiting for the king to let him in.

Gulf pushes Mew until his second kiss comes off.

"Take me off, Bright must be behind the door"

"Why indeed? He already knows about us" Mew turned to the Gulf's neck.

"Your Majesty" Bright's voice called out to him.

"Phi let go of me" Gulf is not used to his closeness to Mew as seen by others. Mew did not let go and now looked at her sharply.

"No! Coming in!" Mew told Bright to enter which surprised the Gulf a little. His position is not good because Mew hugs him tightly.

Bright entered and a sight that was no longer surprising to him was now visible. He had seen the king several times with Mew in the middle of making out.

"What's wrong?" Gulf tries to be calm and Mew just holds back his laughter seeing the Gulf.

"Your highness guest is almost there. We'd better get ready to welcome him"

"alright. I'll be right down" Without talking much more, Bright saluted and came back out.

"Your face looks red, are you ashamed?" Mew now gets a sharp look from the Gulf. He was very happy when he teased the Gulf.

"Forget over. Don't you feel Bright's attitude is calmer?"

"really? He looked the same as usual" These past few days Gulf felt Bright had become very quiet and also he often asked for permission to go to the training camp.

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

"Phi you're finally here"

"I've only been here for a while, why did you tell your men to come? Even you're making a show here" Gulf smiled.

"Of course because I want to welcome a member of the royal family. I want to introduce you to them. Come on in" Apo followed the Gulf in. He saw the magnificent palace he had once been to. It looks a little different in some places, but everything still feels the same.

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

Gulf seemed to enjoy some of the performances that had been prepared, in contrast to Apo and the higher ups. Both of them looked awkward and some of the higher-ups were very frightened to see Apo and his people. They've been told Apo is a vampire. All the vampires seemed to enjoy the fresh blood that had been prepared while for the humans served some food. No one has touched the food yet.

"Gulf, you shouldn't have done this. Look at your people, they seem frightened to see us" The higher-ups instantly got a sharp glare from the Gulf. He saw one of the higher-ups trembling with nausea when he saw a vampire gulping down the blood in his glass. He could not move on, as the Gulf decisively ordered everyone to stay in place.

"Let it be phi. They have to get used to it, because later my guest is not just a human being"

"What do you mean?" Gulf smiled looking at Apo.

"It's nothing. I mean likeyou. You're not human, are you?" Apo just let it go. Not out of pity, but he did not like those people looking at him with disgusting looks.

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

Mew and Gulf were in the palace garden for a breath of fresh air. Seeing too many people made Mew dizzy.

"Isn't it a little outrageous, you did that to them?"

"Why? You defended her?"

Apo walked into a palace garden after he visited the queen's grave and saw the Gulf with Mew. He approached her who immediately got the attention of the two.

"Gulf can we talk?"

"Sure" Apo looked at Mew who was still silent beside the Gulf.

"All right, looks like your conversation is pretty serious. Don't take too long" Mew kissed Gulf's cheek to his surprise, how could his lover do it in front of others. Mew and Apo stare at each other before Mew leaves.

"You're still with that man?"

"Yes. You still don't like it?"

"He's a vampire hunter and you're a vampire yourself. The two shouldn't be put together" Gulf only laughed in response.

"Have you visited my mother?"

"Em and now I have to go back"

"Now? Why not stay?"

"I don't want to leave my clan for too long. Besides I wanted to ask you, you told me to come not just to visit your mother, right?" Already he guessed if the Gulf too forced him if only to visit.

"What do you mean phi? You're my family of course I want you to come to the palace often"

"Don't joke anymore. What did you mean in front of those humans? Does this have anything to do with your confession of being a vampire?" Gulf can't dodge anymore. Apo's instincts towards him were always strong. How could he know everything about himself?

"alright then. I can't hide it from you"

"How can you confess a vampire to everyone? Know it? Maybe now this news has spread throughout the world and your kingdom will be the target of many people. Moreover, those hunters must be after you" Gulf stared at Apo.

"Are you worried about me now, Phi?"

"No. I'm just tired of seeing the war"

"Oh come on, don't worry. The power of my kingdom is very strong. No one would dare to attack and either... What do you mean, hunters? P'Mew and the others didn't kill all the vampires"

"You know? Vampire hunters aren't just them"

"There's another hunter?" Gulf knows there are other hunters besides the Mew group. Recalling that while visiting the hunter's mansion to meet Mew, Gulf accidentally saw Mile with someone and he could not see the man's face covered in a cloak. Maybe the news of him being a vampire had reached their ears. He did not want to harm his people so he planned to borrow the Apo people to protect his kingdom.

"Yes, and they're more ruthless. They kill all vampires regardless of whether they are good or evil. They were also the ones who killed my people" the Gulf slightly did not believe the Nattawin clan had ever come under attack from the hunters. If it was like that, it was most likely that the group of hunters was extremely strong. He became curious about their existence and what they looked like.

"really? Then let me borrow your men to protect my kingdom"

"I'll leave some of my people here and after I get back I'll send more people"

"You are indeed the best phi" Gulf was quite happy Apo instantly understood it.

"Whatever. I have to go back now"

"Phi comes to my palace often. You're still part of my kingdom. Forget the past, your problems with my mom. Now he doesn't even exist"

"I'll think about it" Gulf saw the departure of Apo who quickly disappeared from his sight. Luckily Apo turned out to be an easy person to work with.

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

Gulf went back into his room. His attention was immediately drawn to someone who was bare-chested on his mattress. What the hell is he doing?

"What are you doing phi?" Mew smiled at the arrival of his lover.
