The Missing Part

Chapter 19

It was all hectic and frantic. Earlier because Copter was missing, and not long after that, because copter was found unconscious and hurt and bleeding. The queen was crying her heart out watching her only son had hurt so much, while Tae and Tee were quiet the whole time.

They wouldn't tell who hurt the prince, no weapon were found, and the boys didn't have any weapon with them, so how did Copter get hurt? The king was worried, though he portrayed his stoic face all the times, but his eyes would never lied. The way he watched his only son being treated, found unconscious deep in the woods, he couldn't help but felt afraid so much of losing his son.

They might be royal, and he might be the king of the nation, but so many creatures out there wanted them dead more than anything. Their existence itself was a threat, especially to those who had dreaming of gaining power and respect in the nation, while he was gaining the position simply because he was born in this royal blood.

It wasn't like he thirsts for it, but it was the burden and responsibilities he had to accept once he was born in this world, so was Copter. But there was something special about Copter, that others wouldn't know, only his family and those high people in management who have been experts in creatures history and handling everything regarding it.

That was one of the reasons he felt so nervous when he heard Copter was missing this morning. He makes sure his people were looking for his son discreetly but in a large dispatch. His heart stopped pounding for a moment there when he saw his unconscious son's face that was so pale.

After finished treating the wound of Copter's hands, the royal physician comes closer to King Manawut and was patting on his shoulder. Apart from being the physician almost for the three generations of the royal family, Kleng was older and was like a family to the royals with wise advice every time Manawut needed it.

"Don't worry, his wound was deep and he was losing a lot of blood, but all he needs is enough rest. I will monitor his conditions from time to time, but his conditions was stable and nothing to worry about. But, I need to talk with you, let's head to your study chamber."

"The wound in Copter's hands was inflicted by himself. There's no way anyone could do that to his palm unless he was restrained and was force to it. But I couldn't see any trace of that on his body. I told you about how special he was, especially his blood. I'm afraid someone who knew had taken his blood for something we couldn't imagine Wut. You have to make sure to ask him what happened once he regained consciousness."

Kleng's words make Manawut pressed on his forehead. His son was still young, and who would have done this to him? Not many people knew about him being special and how powerful his blood is. Tae and Tee were in shocked condition and wouldn't utter a word the moment they were found dumbfounded in front of Copter's unconscious body. Besides, they were too young to face this kind of situation.

His sister-in-law had taken things seriously and was taking his son away right away to his late husband's relatives, afraid people would point on her son for what happened to Copter. Beta Adisak had agreed to send his son away together with Tee, afraid of the same thing. Manawut felt a little bit insulted for that, but as a parent, he would try to understand their position.

"What else should I do to protect him, P? I was......." They heard a loud scream outside of the chamber making Manawut stopped on his words. They both was looking at one another running outside only to see the darkness of the black smoke had engulf the whole castle.

"Riana and Copter. P, please handle things here as much as you do, I need to look for my wife and son." Once Manawut saw the situation, with all the guards lying on the floor unconscious, the first thing that came into his mind was his son and his wife.
