After two hours, the King asked for a break, he then commanded the maids and servants to refill the food and drinks. The King stood up and went back into the palace asking Mua Kong to go inside with him. Mua Kong handed his son to Elder Mae and followed his father inside to the palace. The father and son duo followed one another into the King"s study chamber.With his back facing his son, he asked, "What"s going on? How did you find the child?"
"The child found me instead. I wasn"t even sure about his existence." Mua Kong replied.
"Where"s Hli Ja?"
"She"s not here."
"So, do you know what happened at the inn more than 3 years ago?"
"Hmm…"
The King"s pupils dilated, "Who"s the culprit?"
"Someone we know and is around us. That"s all I can tell you as to not mess up my plan."
The King understood that certain matters are okay to leave to his son. He"s done it in the past, he shouldn"t meddle into his son"s affair. If Mua Kong said he has plans, then his plan is probably already been set in action. "Fine, don"t drag this on for too long. Today, I have plans to ask all the daughters to walk through the stage for you, but I was not expecting you to show up with my grandson. So, I"ll cancel that plan."
"You shouldn"t, continue with what you have planned." Mua Kong countered.
Surprised, the King asked, "Are you sure?"
"Mm… just let them walk through." He wasn"t going to pick anyone even if his son didn"t find him.
The King guessed that this is probably in sync with what Mua Kong had planned so he didn"t object and complied. Among all his advisers and ministers, there isn"t anyone he could think who would be so daring to go up against Mua Kong. But if it is one of the people that works for him, he is equally responsible for their behaviors.
The father and son walked out of the study chamber and back to the Royal Pavilion. By the time they got back, the maids and servants had just finished serving the second rounds of food and drinks. The King sat on his chair and signaled for a servant to go over. The nearby servant walked up to him and took the instructions from him. The servant then made its way to the stage and relayed the message to the few people in charge of the stage programs.
About 30 minutes later, a few men walked around with a sign saying for all the ladies to prepare to walk through the stage soon. After everyone read the message, the energy became restless, people where not able to focus. There are those who are anxious, those who are over confident and those who are timid. Mixed of energies swarmed around the place causing tensions and anxiousness in the airs.
Feeling affected by the mixed of strong energy in the airs caused Little Superglue to feel unwell, he turned to his father, "Daddy, I don"t like party. This place is bad. I want to go home."
Mua Kong looked at his son a little perplexed, "This place is bad?"
"Yes, this place is bad."
Mua Kong coaxed, "Let"s wait for a little bit and then we"ll go.
"No, I don"t like party." His son pouted uncomfortably.
"Well, a lot of ladies are going to walk on the stage for you to see. Maybe, maybe your mommy might be hiding on the stage among them." That was the best lie Mua Kong could come up with to make his son stay until the walk through. He originally was not planning on staying for the entire time.
"Oh… is that true? Then I want to stay and see too." Little Superglue quickly agreed although he does not like the energies in the airs. He is a child who is gifted in sensing people but he is just a child unaware of his natural gift and does not know how to deal with it. Since he might see his mommy, he gladly agreed to stay a little longer but he held onto his father tighter than before.
