A/N: Hello, this is my first KKM fan fic. English is not my first language, so I'm so sorry if there is mistakes here and there (please point them out).

Please note that I watched the anime in Japanese, and that's why I uses words like Haike (majesty), or mazoku (demon). Plus, Greta always refers herself in third person, so in this fic too. Also, I used some of the original dialog (I used the subtitles from the wed site lovemyanime . net) but must of it is out of my head.

This is a two-shot

Edit: Fixed some grammar mistakes

Setting Free.

"If you love something, set it free..."

That's what they say. He did

"Go" he said, "Your family is waiting for you over there, aren't they? Do you want to make your parents sad?" 'Wolfram', he heard him called his name softly, but ignore it, he had to say it before he changed his mind "My fiance would not be so heartless. Go already." Those were the most selfless words the ex-prince said. He pressed his lips tight, biting the inside of his mouth, ignoring the metallic flavor of his own blood, holding back his tear from falling. If he was to speak again, he may ask him to never leave and stay here, with him. However, it would be less painful to ask him to leave than ask him to stay, when he knew he would leave anyways. It was for the best.

He didn't remove his emerald eyes from Yuuri, as his brothers and the rest said their goodbyes, and promised the Maoh to take care of the kingdom. Yuuri turned around, ready to leave Shin Makoku behind him.

"Yuuri" he shouted, his willpower to not cry betrayed him, 'Please, turn around. I just want to see your face just one more time, please.' He pleaded in his heart, but Yuuri didn't turn around, he didn't hear the shattering sound of Wolfram's heartbreaking.

"Goodbye..." with this last word, the 27th Maou jump to the portal that lead to Earth.

Wolfram tears ran wildly down his cheek. Yuuri was gone, he wouldn't be able to see him again, hear his voice nor his goofy, yet comforting laugh, he could never feel the warmness of his presence when he was close... His heart ached, it was torn apart, every beat was like a stab. He could do nothing to stop the tears from falling. 'Goodbye' how could a simple word cause so much pain? To Wolfram, that wasn't a word, it was an arrow that was shot directly at his chest at cold blood.

"We better get going back to the castle." Said Gwendal, he was known for not show his emotions, but his voice expressed some sadness. He'll miss the double black.

"Yes, we must inform everyone the events occurred, they must be sick worry." Gunter agreed with a shaken voice, and watery eyes, he didn't dare to cry just yet, his Haika would want him to be strong. Yozak and Hube just nodded with a sad expression on their faces.

"Well, I have to get going too." Adalbert said coldly, within a second, he was gone.

Conrad kept quiet, he also was broken, he loved that kid like his own, he was the one who named him after all. However, he was not concerned about his own feeling, being in the military come to loose many people, he was used to the emptiness. Don't think of him wrong, he indeed was devastated, but Yuuri was alive, in the place where he was born. That was enough to keep moving forward.

He saw how his younger brother was still crying motionless, staring at where the portal was at, less than a minute ago. He felt his pain. The half demon walked toward the blond and place a hand on the other soldier's shoulder. "Wolfram." The blond nodded, his brother would always call his name and say nothing else, he didn't need to hear what the brunet wanted, he always could know what Conrad needed him to do. Maybe was a brother thing.

"Look, they are back." Exclaimed a ten year old girl with a smile. Lady Cheri, Anissina, Gisela, Nikola the maids and Dacascos happiness turn into sorrow when they saw Ao, Yuuri's horse, with no one riding him. They fear the worst.

"Don't tell me Heika is..." Lady Cheri gasped, both hands covering her mouth, unable to finish her horrific suggestion. The former Queen felt the warm and salty tear to run slowly from the corner of her eyes. Nikola, started to cry too, the maids also follow this fashion. Dacascos was also to the point of breakdown. Anissina and Gisela remind their calmed position, they gulped hard, the two women preferred to hear the events occurred before crying.

"Where's Yuuri?" asked Greta crying, as the soldiers got down off their horses. Everyone looked at each other.

The soldiers come to cross to fight the most deadly battles as long as they all had lived, they just survive one, and their bravery shined brighter more than the sun. However, they found hard to gather the courage to explain to this innocent child that, Yuuri, her dad, will not come back. "He is..." Conrad started, but he was cut off.

"He is not here, he is gone." Said Wolfram softly but loud enough to be heard, his eyes red from all the crying, he wiped his last tears off, then breathed deep, and looked at his brother, "She is my daughter, is my responsibility to answer." Conrad gave him a faint smile to let him know he understood.

Wolfram kneeled to Greta's level and looked her right in her big brown eyes, as he dried her tears with his thumbs. "Yuuri went back to Earth, he will not be back, Shinou is gone and since he was the one who transported Yuuri to our world, Yuuri will never come back." One or two would think he was a bit harsh on the tone, but he was not just saying this to Greta, he also needed to hear it at loud, convince him that Yuuri wasn't coming back, that this was not a nightmare.

"Why,... why ...did.. he left?" Greta asked between sobs.

"He has his family over there." Replied the blonde, trying with all his might not to shed a tear, he must be strong for his daughter.

"What about Wolfram and Greta? We are his family too, Yuuri doesn't love Great?" Asked the little girl rubbing her eyes.

"Of course he loves you. He loves you with all his heart, you are his daughter."

"Then, why he didn't say goodbye to Greta?"

Wolfram's heart broke even more. "He, he didn't have much time. But he told me to tell you," he lied, "That, he loves you and he'll always do, no matter how far he is, you'll be always his daughter, and don't forget it." Then, he aimed to hug her...

Greta pushed him away, "Don't touch me. You promised Greta you'll bring Yuuri back, you broke your promise. I hate you!" with that said, the little girl ran inside the castle, with her tear flowing like a wild river.

If Wolfram thought, his heart couldn't break into more pieces he thought wrong, another arrow was stuck in his chest. How much more his heart could take before stops beating? Yuuri was gone and now his daughter hated him. 'Who I'm kidding, no matter how much I love her, she'll never love me that much, just like him.' His tears started to flow again. Everyone who witness what just happened looked at Wolfram with pitying eyes, except his brothers, they know how proud he was, show pity toward him would be humiliating. Gwendal dismissed the crying maid and order Dacascos to take the horses to the stable. The show was over, his baby brother didn't need that.

"Oh, sweetie. I'll talk to her."

"It's fine mother, I broke my promise, she has the right to hate me. I'll take Ao to the stables." Wolfram dried his tear once again, then he ran as fast as he could to catch up with Dacascos. But no matter how much he ran, he could not leave behind the pain. There was not use, the pain would follow the blood trail left behind him, and crawl back to torturing him to no stop.

"Wolfram..."

Gwendal explained in details what happened in the Shinou's temple. And Gunter sent messengers with a letter to each of the ten nobles to inform the situation. Within a week a meeting will be held. It was dinner time, but no one really was eating, they were to depress to eat. Greta didn't even touch her spork.

"Greta, honey, you should eat, so you can grow to be a beautiful woman like myself." Lady Cheri said trying to break the tense silence in a playful manner.

"Yes, you are right, Yuuri would like Greta to eat." Replied the brunet girl, and smiled, remembering a time when her daddy scolded her for no eating her veggies.

Wolfram wiped his mouth gracefully and place the napkin on the table. "Please excuse me." the blond ex-prince stood up and without saying anything else, he left the dining room, his plate almost untouched. Greta's smile faded do with the guilt of saying those awful things to her father, the one that is still here.

How much time passed, a minute, two minutes or hours? Time passed at different speed, since Yuuri left. For moments it seems like a minute, when just passed a second, and it seems like just past a second when passed a minute. Wolfram was holding Yuuri's room's door knob, he was unable to turn it open. For how long he was standing in front of the wooden door? An hour or he just got there? The mazoku didn't know, he lost the sense of time.

"Were you here all this time?" Conrad said, while walking closer to his brother.

"Yes," Wolfram replied, his lost gaze was focused in the door in front of him. "Looks like I walked up here unconsciously."

"We should look here first. How didn't I think of it?" He did, but he wanted to give his younger brother some space, "We could find you two hours ago."

'So, that's how long I've been standing here, did he said 'we'?' To the realization there wasn't just Conrad there, he shifted his whole body, and in a blink of an eye he was on the floor, embraced by a little girl, who was crying her eyes out. He hugged back.

"Greta is so sorry, she didn't meant to say those mean things to Wolfram." Greta said as she buried her face in her adoptive father's chest.

"Is ok, Greta. You don't have to apologize, I am the one that needs to apologize. I'm sorry, I broke my promise."

"Wolfram didn't do anything wrong. Please forgive me, I love you."

"I love you too, there's anything that you said or do to make me feel otherwise, and I'll always forgive you, no matter what, because I love you." He hugged her even harder, and gave her a soft kiss on top of her head.

Conrad smile, "I'm sorry to interrupt this beautiful reconciliation, but I think is pretty late, we should go to bed," Greta removed herself from the blond to give him some room to stand up and stood beside him. The older brother extended his hand, offering his help to younger mazoku. "It was a long and hard day," Wolfram accepted the aid and got up with a single pull from Conrad, "Specially for you, Wolfram." The blond just nodded.

Greta glared from the corner of her eyes at the Maoh's room, and grabbed Wolfram's hand, "Wolfram, would you sleep in Greta's room, tonight?" He nodded and forced a smile. Holding hands, both of them walked to Greta's room. Both of them thinking, 'It feels wrong to go to his room when he is not here.'

Conrad just watched them go, still worry about his little brother. His heart was taken away by Shinou, and after he got it back, didn't stop suffering.
