Searching For You 51 Wonderful Son

Not long afterward, the King and the General arrived. As they made their way to the main living room hall, they noticed that the Prince is not present. The King glanced around and saw only the women in the room and knew that his conclusion was right. The absence of his son confirmed that his son is not coming home for dinner.

The King felt irritated and upset that he couldn't even control the very son he bore and even when the entire Kingdom kneeled down to him, his unfilial son never flinched in front of him when commanded by him. After years of confronting each other head on, he who is King, ended up yielding to his son. He had to admit that his son is good to the country, but just not to him.

Maybe because his son inherited his stubbornness and if that is the case, he is partially to blame. He was like that too in his younger years, but as he grew older and become wiser, he got closer to his own father, whom was King at the time. But in his case, he felt like the case is backward. When Hue Chi was small, he was cute, adorable, thoughtful and listen to him, but as Hue Chi got older, he got more distant and rebellious.

Hue Chi is meticulous, brilliant, and placed the welfare of the country of importance value. He does everything that will benefit and help the country flourish. The King cannot deny that he have a good heir. So eventually, he yielded but his pride is still bent from conceding the power struggle between him and his son. Though deep down he knew that he could leave peacefully when his time comes because he knew the country is in good hand in the care of his son.

The Queen signaled a maid to come over. When the maid came behind her, the Queen ordered the maid to check on the kitchen staff to see if dinner is ready yet. The maid bowed and walked out of the living room.

Not long later, the same maid walked in and told the Queen that dinner was ready in the dining hall. The Queen nodded and turned to her husband, "My Lord, let's go over to the dining hall and continue our conversation."

The King nodded in agreement. and signaled for the General and his family to go to dining hall. The General urged his wife and daughter to stand up for the King and Queen to go first. The group made their way to the dining hall and waited for the King to sit first. The King sat at the end of the table, and Queen sat on the right side to the King. Kao Sheng's mother sat next to the Queen while her father and her sat across.

When the servers saw that everyone was seated, they started serving food on the table. As the food was being served, the King looked at the group, "There is no formality here. Let's all eat."

General Va Tong replied respectfully, "My Lord, thank you for this meal."

"No need for formality. Your family should come over once in a while for dinner." They King and General Va Tong have been friends for a long time. They grew up together with Va Tong serving the King almost throughout their lives, so there really is no need for formality. In a normal world, they would be best friends but in their world, there are boundaries and formalities that must be followed especially in front of others.

The King turned to Kao Sheng, "Kao Sheng, I heard your father said you are lecturing courses at Aires Royal Universities in the Military sectors?"

Kao Sheng politely wiped her lips with her handkerchief and softly replied, "Yes, your Highness, that is correct."

The King chuckled, "Haha..just like father and daughter. Va Tong, aren't you blessed? Your two sons and daughter are following your steps."

Va Tong put down his silverware and bowed his head slightly in respect for his King, "My Lord, thank you. Prince Hue Chi is also a wonderful son too. He works hard and is constantly thinking of the country. He's a man of very few words, but he is definitely kind, taking after the King and Queen." Va Tong flattered both the King and Queen in one replied.

The Queen smiled because that couldn't be more true, her son, her pride whom she thinks work too much. She sometimes feel sad that he was born a Prince and have to shoulder so much responsibility, "He is indeed a wonderful son."

Hmph.. The King had to admit that he is feeling a little dejected. Though his son is definitely wonderful in some ways, he couldn't even get his son to come have dinner so minus some wonderful points off.

At Skyline crusie, the construction workers just arrived back to the ship. Some headed back to their room to change while some headed straight to the main deck for their late dinner. Everyone wants to be in the table where the girls sit even though one of the girls was kind of scary but she still looked pleasant to the eyes. After arguing over who gets to sit in the table where the girl sit in, they came to the conclusion to move the table around. So when they arrived, some rushed to the main deck and moved the table in a hurry. The guys pushed the tables around making a big rectangular like shape to fit more people so that one table cannot monopolized the ladies.
