After Mua Kong still refused to explain, the King gave up. He turned around and signaled for Mua Kong to leave. "I'll send another search party and tried to investigate from another angle."
Mua Kong remained silent. He turned around and proceeded to leave. The King knew that it was a futile effort to get Mua Kong to speak again. This was the first time his second son had talked this much with him in one setting.
After Mua Kong left, the King sat back down onto his chair and sighed. He thought of his late wife and knew how his son must've felt. He was the only King ever written in history that didn't have a harem. He never had to worry about women persuading him, or getting close to him with the intention to harm and overthrow him.
The King got up and walked behind the partition of his study chamber and a rest bed to look at the picture of his late wife.
