KING GULF
Chapter 54's

Gulf continued in his footsteps, as well as the person behind him also followed him. Gulf's pace got faster and he took the man to a fairly lush tree. Until the people who followed him lost track of the Gulf.

"Damn! Where the hell is he?" The man seemed to be circulating his gaze in all directions but was unable to find the whereabouts of the Gulf.

"You looking for me?" The person was surprised and immediately saw the Gulf on top of the tree.

"Who are you? Can you see me? You're a hunter, right?" Instead of replying, the person directly attacked the Gulf with an arrow but could easily dodge it.

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

Gulf was still avoiding the attacks, he could see the anger in his eyes. Is this like a hunter trying to kill him?

Enough to give him a chance, no matter how many times the Gulf asked, the man did not answer. The Gulf quickly approached him and in a blink the Gulf's eyes were already in front of him. The man was startled and prepared to pull out his sword but Gulf quickly threw out his sword and clasped his neck firmly.

"You're just wasting my time. Are you sure you don't want to answer my question?" The man looked at her with hatred.

"A damned creature like you should be dead!" Shouted that person who invited laughter from the Gulf.

"You're just someone full of shit. So die" Gulf adds strength to his grip so that he can't breathe and die.

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

Bruk!

Gulf throws the body of the man he killed on the floor of Mew's room. He saw Mew who was asleep, the Gulf approached him.

"Phi's awake!" Mew wriggled as Gulf shook his body slowly. His eyes began to open slightly, he saw someone who had just woken him up. Little can't believe seeing her lover in her room.

"Gulf? You coming?" Mew immediately woke up. Of course he was happy, finally Gulf visited him again.

"Come here" Mew pulled the Gulf hand that he immediately released.

"Don't joke anymore, phi. You know him?" Gulf pointed at the corpse and it took Mew by surprise. Since when was there anyone else in his room?

"Did he die? You killed him?" Mew approached the body.

"He followed me and when I found out he tried to attack me. He's a hunter" Mew stared at the Gulf a little in disbelief.

"Vampire hunter? Did ya? How're you? You okay?" Mew immediately examined Gulf's body, which may have been scarred after encountering a hunter.

"Of course I'm fine. I lost my existence and he can still see me. Doesn't that mean he's a hunter?"

"Yes. But I know all the hunters in this mansion and have never seen them"

"You sure?" Mew looked at Gulf who was staring at him.

"You don't trust me?" Gulf turned his eyes.

"No. Take care of him, I have to go back" For the Gulf maybe it's a small thing, he's too lazy to find out more so leave this matter to Mew. Haven't had time to prevent it, Mew has already lost the Gulf. He just sighed staring at the corpse in front of him. Who exactly is he?

Mew ransacked his body hoping to get a little clue about the man. He reached into his pocket and found nothing strange. Just finding the stuff a hunter used to wear until Mew finds a badge. He saw the symbol on the badge. A sword that struck the body of a bat. He looked familiar, but he could not remember where he had seen him.

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

Mile sat at the dinner table preparing for her morning breakfast. Usually he had breakfast with the others, but this time he was a little late so he did it himself. Shortly thereafter Mew came to him.

"Mew you just woke up?"

"Hmm" Mile feels Mew's mood this time is not good. He even responded with a short answer.

"What's wrong with you? You look lethargic. You sick?"

"What other phi besides us, are there other hunters?" Mile flinched a little, but he didn't want Mew to see him. Why did Mew suddenly ask that?

"I don't know, but there may be" An answer that doesn't justify or blame, Mile answered soberly. He wondered why Mew suddenly asked about it. Mew saw a suspicious Mile.

"Then do you know about this?" Mew points out a badge taken by Mile.

"Where did you get this?!" Asked Mile in a high enough tone, without him realizing the question made Mew suspect him.

"So you know? What'sthat?" Mile knew that this badge belonged to the hunters from the center. How can it be in his hands?

"Mew tell me where did you get this?"

"I took it from the dead brought by the Gulf"

"Gulf?"

"He killed him because he was following him and also attacking him" Mile fell silent, he did not understand why those people were after the Gulf. Has the news of the Gulf arrived?

"Phi tell me who he is? He tried to harm the Gulf!" Mew starts to get upset because Mile is still mum. He thought about how to explain it.

"You don't need to know. Gulf is a powerful vampire, so don't worry too much. I still have to work" Mile stood up without giving an answer.

"Phi tell me! Does this have anything to do with the person in the photo I found?" Mile's steps stopped. It was thought that Mew had seen the photo. Mew should never have known about it, considering they would also be eyeing Mew when they found out he was coaching her. He should not have made Mew a hunter. Mile clenched her hands tightly.

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

Bright approached the Gulf with a horse. Today the Gulf will visit the camp of the soldiers. Gulf glanced at Bright who was only silent, even now he only spoke as necessary, unlike the old days who were always chatty about him. They also leave immediately.

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

Before long the Gulf troupe came which was immediately welcomed by several generals. The Gulf gathered with the generals in his kingdom.

"Her majesty some kingdoms have started to watch over our kingdom from a distance. I'm on guard at the southern border, and sometimes my people see some people watching. We didn't catch them. By the time we get close, that person is no longer in his place without leaving any trace"

"Could the southerners begin to want to bring down our kingdom?"

"But our agreement with the kingdom of Ratanaporn was officially written long ago"

"Your highness, I think we should make a team to attack" Gulf looked at the map on the table.

"What about the other borders?"

"From the eastern border, we didn't find anything suspicious"

"From the northern border there is also none"

"At the western border I saw someone. Whether it's just someone who's traveling or not. I saw him staring at our fortress. Long enough, until I had my subordinates approach him. But by then, he was gone. Just that one day and nothing suspicious anymore"

"I won't make a team to attack, but I want you to send two people from each to go to the nearest kingdom. You see the situation there. Don't attack and keep an eye on them" As Apo feared. Gulf knew sooner or later another kingdom would attack him after finding out he was a vampire. It would be easy for him to fight only humans. He will not fear how many kingdoms will attack.

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

Finished discussing, Gulf headed straight for the palace and locked himself in his room. Bright was ordered to stand guard at the door of his room and not allow him anywhere. Gulf sighed, he took out a long box containing his broken holy sword. How does he have to handle this?

"Bright in!" Shortly thereafter, Bright entered his room. Bright glanced at the sword that was on the Gulf workbench.

"Bright what do you think? You know the south" Bright nodded.

"Maybe I can tell if the southern forces are the most powerful among the others. I think it's my job to investigate the kingdom, I trust General Nodt"

"General Nodt? Oh you're right. Then you send him"

"Me?"

"Yes, I hear you're close to him" Bright doesn't understand, why everyone thinks he's close to Nodt. Though Nodt often does not care about him and also always displays a look of hate on him.

"I'm not that close to him"

"Aw, did I hear wrong? It's okay, you go see him and come back soon"

"Your highness, your sword..."

"Why?" Gulf looked at him, hoping that he would now speak frankly to him.

"none. I'll see General Nodt immediately" Bright saluted before leaving.

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

Mew saw Win in training, running through rocks and large trees. With his abilities and physique, Win is very quick to learn and understand everything he teaches him. He hoped that one day, Win would be able to take care of the Gulf and its kingdom. Soon Boat approached him.

"Phi, have you seen p'Mile?"

"Since I've been here. He's not here? Shouldn't he be in his room?"

"none. I've been looking for him and he's nowhere. Where did he go?" Mew patted Boat's shoulder.

"You're replacing me here. Let me find him"

"What's? Wait phi!" Mew ignored Boat's call and immediately went towards the mansion.

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

Mew enters the Mile room. I don't know where Mile is going, but it's good luck for him. He's got to find something in Mile's room.

Mew was looking for a book he was looking at with the photos in it.

"Where is the book?" Mew searched every corner of the room and couldn't find it. The sound of footsteps distracted him. Mew believes that if it is Mile, he immediately looks for a place to hide.

Brak!

Mile opened the door of her room violently.

"Damn! Where they are actually!" Mew was silent in his hiding place listening to Mile who was grumbling annoyed.

"Are they looking for him? No way, my plan would fail if they got it" Mile sat on his couch, trying to calm his mind until something came to his mind and he came out. Mew looked silent. He did not understand what Mile was talking about. What plan did he mean? Who did he mean? What Gulf? Mew quickly went to see the Gulf.
