I Am No King's

Chapter 202 – Reunion

"Huh? Maul?"

This time, it was not Rahayu or Arid who responded, but me. I looked to the left, in the same direction as Shera.

From one of the people surrounding us, one person stepped forward. He leaned over and placed the gun on the floor, making sure no bullets were fired accidentally. After that, he got up and gave a big smile.

"Sister Lugalgin..."

"...Maul?"

I saw a young man, probably of Ninlil's age. She has white hair and green eyes, a strange combination. However, it is only a cover. In the hair, I could see the brown roots. On the eyes, faintly, appeared a brown color behind the green. Yeah, supposedly, she has brown hair and brown eyes, a generic feature for Bana'an citizens.

He had a wide jaw, giving the impression of being fat. However, a small neck and body say otherwise. Yeah, just his wide jaw. If it is held, there is only bone. Not many cheeks could be pinched from him. From this side, it seemed, he had not changed.

Before, I had not realized at all that this boy was Maul. I mean, the outside view has changed drastically. However, after I took a good look, and remembered the features of his body, this man was indeed a true Maul.

Unbeknownst to me, I've dropped the arsenal chest and the gun I was holding. Slowly, I walked towards the man, passed through Mariander's security barricade, and opened both hands. My eyes started to blur, wet.

"Maul's? Maul?"

No other words came out of my mouth other than his name. Without being able to hold on any longer, tears flowed.

As if to answer me, Maul ran and hugged me.

"Sister Lugalgin. Finally Maul can meet Brother Lugalgin again."

"Mauls. Finally."

Maul is one of the children of Sargon Orphanage. On that day, with Tasha and the others, he disappeared. Until now, Maul was one of four children I could not trace her whereabouts because the black market organization that bought her was destroyed, erasing all traces. And, as Shera said, the black market organization that bought Maul came from this kingdom.

Maul's body trembled. His voice was trembling too.

I grabbed Maul, rubbing her coarse hair because of the polish. Slowly, I rubbed Maul's back, trying to calm her down.

"Sir Lugalgin,"

"Yes?"

"Has Brother Lugalgin met with Brother Tasha?"

"Yes, I've met him."

"Is Brother Tasha okay."

I was silent for a moment. My chest feels so tight. My mouth feels heavy too. Actually, I don't want to answer. However, he had the right to know Tasha's condition. In fact, it's much more worthy of me.

"sorry. Tasha.. is dead."

"really?"

"After this, if you have time, I'll take you on a pilgrimage."

"Ung," Maul nodded.

Actually, I wanted to ask if Maul had any information regarding the other 3 names that I could not trace. But let me hold it first. I can ask you next time.

"Maul is one of the victims of child trafficking practices. Because of the vile deeds of King Arid and King Fahren, he was separated from Lugalgin and his friends. We heard Maul's story a few months ago. When we heard it, we actually wanted to inflame the spirit of democracy to Bana'an. How can a King treat his citizens as a commanding good? Unfortunately, before we spread the spirit of democracy, it turns out that King Fahren has been called the angel of death first."

I turned my head and glanced, looking towards Shera.

"Empress Rahayu, we, True One members, are citizens born in this kingdom. Therefore, we have the obligation and the right to repair this kingdom. However, Maul, Lugalgin, and you were not born here. You were born in Bana'an. The obligation and right to repair the kingdom of Bana'an is not ours, but yours. With this, I hope, you stop this practice of child trafficking. Or–"

"There is no need to make a threat" Queen Rahayu interjected. "I, Empress Rahayu, hereby swear never to practice child trafficking. In addition, I also vow to make every effort to stop and ensure this practice will not happen again."

Boisterous applause welcomes queen Rahayu's oath. The visitors and journalists were no longer aware that they were prisoners. Now, for them, my reunion and the oath of empress Rahayu are the main event tonight. On the other hand, Arid and the empress' family were only speechless a thousand languages.

I understand Shera's plan. He intended to take advantage of the moment of my reunion and Maul to arouse the hearts of the people. Who doesn't love sad stories? With this sad story, he tried to increase the amount of support and sympathizers.

In addition to our reunions and sad stories, Shera also exploits Rahayu's whereabouts. Currently, according to the public, the condition of Queen Rahayu is very alarming because she just lost her husband, King Fahren.

But the oath changed everything. The public will see Shera has helped empress Rahayu to realize Fahren's mistake. In fact, Shera's speech gave the impression that he was the one who encouraged Empress Rahayu and made her firm.

With these two things, True One sympathizers and supporters will increase rapidly. The plan to change the kingdom of Mariander into a republic will be smoother.

I didn't plan any part of the meeting with Maul and the oath. Both were not in my plan. However, I don't care. I am so grateful to have met Maul.

Tasha, with this, stay three.
