Lost Queen

Part 14.

Mew just sit until the last minute inside his study room looking at the bracelet. Reminiscing his time with Gulf, the time before the incident happened, way before everything is messed up.

"Your highness, the banquet is about to start. Everyone is waiting for you including the king." The servant speaks from behind which brought Mew back to reality.

"Where you able to send the letter?"

"Yes, your highness. It was sent to the same address." The servant answered. "Pardon my rudeness your highness but the place seems to be vacant a long time ago. No one lives there"

Mew turned his chair to face the servant. The latter trembles, "I know. I just want to know if the letter is delivered."

"Pardon me your highness. Yes, it was delivered as you've requested" The servant's voice is trembling so Mew smiled to his as an assurance that he is not angry.

"You can leave. I'll follow after you" Mew said and the servant immediately followed the order given to him.

Mew took a glance of the bracelet one more time before he took it and place it somewhere safe. He seals and locked it, he will finally put the 10 years of his life behind and move forward.

He walked to the dining room that is full of the most gorgeous and respectable women in the kingdom that is suitable to be his queen. Mew scanned through the faces and for some reason no one caught his interest.

"Please begin eating, I appreciate you all taking my invitation" Mew said before he sits on his chair and starts eating. The food is tasteless as ever. He is somehow hoping that Gulf would appear in front of him but unfortunately he didn't.

When everyone is done eating, Mew starts speaking again. "I have prepared a little ball for everyone as what is stated in the invitation. I hope everyone will enjoy, I'll see you around" Mew stands up to walk back to his chamber. He flopped his body on the bed, he has to ready himself and find someone else.

Mew didn't noticed that he fell asleep when he woke up, he looked around and wish for that person to be there standing but he isn't.

"Your highness?" The servant called out to him, Mew just looked at his servant and nod. His clothes for the ball is ready. Mew looked at the mask beside the clothes, he didn't know it would be a masquerade; when looked around for his attendant, he is nowhere to be seen.


All attention is at Mew, he is like the most elite alpha of all the alpha around. He sees his father so he decided to sit beside him.

"Have you found someone yet?" The king asks and Mew shake his head, he didn't know if he can find someone this way.

"Good evening your highness, prince" The two man come up to them and Mew just realized that it was Singto and Krist.

"Singto? Krist? I'm glad you made it" Mew expressed his gratitude.

"Of course, the future king of this country invited us. Who are we to decline?" Krist answered and it made Mew smiled. Though, at the back of his mind, these two never accepted any of his previous invitation, so why now?

"I appreciate you being here. It makes me happy" Mew said, he is still smiling. He isn't that close to the two but he somehow missed them and their noisy attitude.

Mew removed his crown and handed it to his father and after that he followed the two to their table and sit with them. It's a ball anyway and it won't hurt much if he enjoy himself.

"I heard that you're searching for a wife, is that true your highness?" Singto asked and hearing them call him 'Your Highness' doesn't really sound right.

"Just call me 'Mew'" He said grinning to Singto.

"Oh, right. I know. Thank goodness!" Singto expressed and it made them laughed. It is just then that Mew noticed that they aren't the only ones in the table. There's still three more people sitting there with them however the place's somehow dark and they also wearing a mask that Mew unable to identify them.

"They're our friends. I believe it's okay for us to bring them?" Krist said when he noticed that Mew's gaze is glued to the heart shaped lips guy.


"It's not a problem." Mew said and turned his attention back to the three, "Pardon my rudeness" Mew said and the three bowed to him in response so he diverted his attention back to the two.

"So going back, you're searching for a wife?" Singto asked again.

"Yes. It is hopeless though" Mew answered. "I haven't found someone who I think worthy to be with me?" It made Singto laughed.

"Maybe because you're comparing him in every person you meet, then of course you will never find the one that way." Krist and Mew definitely felt a pang in his chest.

"I- I don't know. Anyway, do you have any news about Gulf?" Mew asked and coincidentally one of Krist's friend got choked while drinking some wine.

"You okay?" Krist asked with full of concern and the man just nodded.

"You sure, you're okay?" Mew followed up but the man just keeps on nodding. Once the man settles down they returned to their conversation.

"I haven't heard anything from Gulf." Krist said. It made Mew down a little but he expected that answer anyway.

"Me too" Singto chimed in and all Mew can do is to nod and take the glass of his wine and sip it. This too is a failure, he might really end up being the unmarried king.

While Mew is immersed in his own thoughts his father spoke which pull him back to reality.

"I have a little present for everyone. I hope you enjoy this" The king exited the place and the light focused to someone in the middle who is holding a Mic. It was just then that Mew noticed that was the same man who were at the table with them and when he is about to ask, he found out that he is the only one left on the table.


"I have a song for the prince but I hope everyone likes it too." The man said and it widened Mew's eyes. That was the voice he has been longing for.

(Hold me tight - Gulf Kanawut version *because why not?*)
 
The whole time that the man is singing that song, Mew is just standing there, holding his breath and suppressing his tears. Gulf is back, he is back.

Once Mew has gained himself, he slowly walked towards Gulf.

"My prince, can I be your wife? Again?" Gulf said as he slowly remove his mask and show his beautiful face to the crowd. Mew is frozen in front of him, no reaction, nothing.

"Mew?" Gulf call him out again. Mew suddenly hugged him, letting his tears fall.

"I waited for you for 10 years. I missed you so much" Mew said and it made Gulf to chuckle. Gulf handed the microphone to Krist and pull Mew's head off to face him. He wiped Mew's tears before he kissed him in front of everyone.

"I'm back, Mew. I'm sorry I made you wait for so long" Gulf said before he hugged the prince as tight as he could.
