Chapter 1
Soft and Warm
It's another beautiful day in Shin Makoku. Clear blue sky, trees swaying through the breeze and the weird looking birds shouting "BAD OMEN" flying above Blood Pledge Castle.
On the grounds of Blood Pledge Castle, soldiers are peacefully doing their daily training….
"HURRY UP YOU MAGGOTS!!!"
… well, not really peaceful.
"YES MA'AM!!!"
Gisela, the castle's physician (a.k.a. 'Sergeant'), is training the soldiers.
"YOU CALL YOURSELVES SOLDIERS OF SHIN MAKOKU??? YOU LOOK LIKE A GROUP OF BEARBEES TO ME!!! DORCASCOS! YOU'RE TOO SLOW!!!"
"YES MA'AM, SORRY MA'AM!!!" Dorcascos replied.
While in a certain room is not that peaceful either.
"Groan… Gwendal, how many piles left??"
Our beloved Maou, Yuuri, is in his office signing papers that Günter have appeared.
"Just 2 more piles left and you're done."
Gwendal replied, rubbing his temple. Yuuri has been groaning and complaining every 5 minutes. It's starting to irritate him. Another wrinkle appeared on his forehead.
"Oh! Ok then." Yuuri said lightening up. But as he looked at his right, he saw two tall towers of paper if you put them atop of each other; it could match Gwendal's height.
"Oh~…" Yuuri groaned.
"Make that three." a voice was heard as the door opened. Yuuri looked up to see who it is. He saw Wolfram coming in carrying a huge stack of paper.
"Wolfram!!! What's with that huge stack? I thought Günter was the one who'll bring it." Yuuri said shocked.
"This is the stack that Günter approved on and he asked me to bring them to you because he had to go do something." Wolfram answered.
Yuuri felt relieved but still a little curious. "Where did he go?" he asked.
BOOM!!!
"AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!"
….was heard from the other side of the castle.
"There's your answer." Wolfram said while pointing at the direction where the sound came from.
"Ahaha…poor Günter. I hope he's ok." Yuuri mused.
"Let's just hope he's still alive." Gwendal stated. He feels sorry for the man for he knows how it feels to be the guinea pig of the crazy inventor, Annissina.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Inside Annissina's lab…..
We can see an unconscious Günter lying on the floor while Annissina is standing in front of some sort of machine-like-object that looks like it exploded.
"Hmmmm…. It looks like my 'Food- come- out- from- thin- air-kun' is a failure."
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Back in the office…..
"Nee, Gwendal, can't we take a 5 minute break??" complained Yuuri.
"WIMP!!! Stop complaining and continue your work! No breaks!" Wolfram shouted.
"STOP CALLING ME A WIMP!!! Can't you see these stacks of papers?? I can't finish them all in one day!" Yuuri retorted.
"Well you are a wimp since you can't even sign all those papers. Those papers are important documents for this country! You're the king for Shinou's sake! Brother and Günter even do half of the work you're supposed to do! When you're back on Earth, Brother signs all of those in one day, heck even half a day and he signs even more than that!" Wolfram scolded.
Yuuri winced at the words that the blonde prince said. He was right, Günter and Gwendal reads then first before they give it to him. All he has to do is sign them and his too wimpy to even do that. He starts to feel guilty inside.
"I have the right to scold you because I am your fiancé and it is my duty to make you a good king that can rule our country." Wolfram stated.
"I AM NOT YOUR FIANCÉ! That engagement was just an accident!"
"YOU STILL PROPOSED TO ME AND THAT'S THAT! YOU DIDN'T EVEN WANT TO BREAK IT WHEN I TRIED TO!"
Wolfram said with anger and hurt building up.
That's right. Wolfram broke it once when there was a conflict for the throne and he has to go back to the Bielefeld lands because of his uncle, Waltorana von Bielefeld. Yuuri felt furious when he saw Wolfram's letter on his desk. He didn't know why but he was most furious when Wolfram broke their engagement.
Yuuri stayed silent. He doesn't know what to say. But he'd better hurry up and say something because Wolfram is getting angrier by the second.
A knock on the door broke the silence. Yuuri felt relived at the interruption. He stood up and said "Come in"
The door opened and Conrad came in. "Excuse me Your Majesty but I would like to inform that Greta is looking for Wolfram to play with in the garden. I would also like to inform that Günter is ok from the explosion and is currently being healed by Gisela." Conrad said. Everyone sighed of relief after hearing the good news.
Wolfram's mood lightened up.
"If you'll excuse me then, our daughter is looking for me." Wolfram smiled.
Yuuri pouted. "You're lucky. At least you could play with Greta."
"You're always welcome to join us once you finish your work." Wolfram teased as he pointed at the 3 tall towers of paper on Yuuri's desk.
Yuuri glared at Wolfram while Wolfram simply smirked back and walked out of the room. "Now, if you'll excuse me Your Majesty." Conrad started to walk to the door. "Ah, Conrad, before you go, may I remind you not to call me 'Your Majesty'. You're the one who named me." Yuuri said as he crossed his arms.
"Oh, I'm sorry You-- I mean Yuuri. Excuse me." Conrad went out of the room.
"Now Your Majesty, it's time to continue your work." Gwendal reminded Yuuri.
"Oh yeah~!" Yuuri whined as he sat down and continued signing papers.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
In Shinou's Temple, a few people are scheming for something.
"So, my great sage, how is the relationship between my cute little descendant and my chosen Maou going?" Shinou, the founder of Shin Makoku, asks the Daikenja, Murata Ken.
"Well my little king (Shinou is still tiny due to the battle between him and Janus BTW), their relationship is let's say still 'unstable', Lord von Bielefeld is still insisting on their engagement while our cute oblivious Maou still doesn't know about his hidden feelings." Ken said as his glasses shown.
"Hmmm… that's a problem now. Right, Ulrike?" Shinou rubbed his chin. "Yes Your Majesty. It would be a very big problem." Ulrike, the shrine maiden, answered. "It might affect greatly von Lord von Bielefeld and who knows what he will do." She continued. "Yeah, Rufus will hate me if anything will happen to our descendant." Shinou said as he ran his hand through his hair. "But knowing you, Shinou, you already have a plan to bring those two together, right?" Murata asked suspiciously.
"As expected with my great sage, you can see right through me." Shinou laughed. "But I prefer calling it a 'solution' than a plan. As you already know, I DO have a solution and I have called her to come here. Right, Ulrike?"
"Yes Your Majesty. She'll be here in a few seconds." She answered.
Then, they hear the door creak open and foot steps coming closer. They looked at the figure with a hooded cloak going near them. The figure stopped in front of Shinou and bowed down. "You called me Your Majesty?" the figure asked.
"Why yes, I'm glad you came today. I called you here because I have a special mission for you." Shinou said. "Besides, this is you family's specialty for 4,000 years ever since 'that' happened." He added.
"Say whatever it is Great Shinou and I'll gladly do it." The figure replied as she lifts up her head with a mischievous smirk and a glint in her fiery-red eyes.
"Good. This is what you'll do…"
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
It's already sunset and Yuuri is still signing papers. Only 15 unsigned papers left at his right and he feels relived.
He decided to peek outside the window for a bit of rest. He looked up the sky and stared at the orange-red sky. 'Wow. I never knew I've been here that long.' He thought. His gaze went down to the two figures having tea in the garden.
He smiled as he sees his daughter, Greta, laughing and telling stories. 'Greta really is cute. Wolf's lucky to be able to spend time with her.' After that thought, his eyes went to Wolfram. He saw him intently listening to Greta's stories and wearing a warm, gentle, and beautiful smile. Yuuri felt awed and stared at him. 'Wow, Wolf's so beautiful when he smiles. W- Wait! 'BEAUTIFUL'??!! NO YUURI, WOLF'S A GUY!! YOU CAN'T FALL FOR HIM!!! But I did call him 'bishounen' when I first saw him. THAT'S NOT THE POINT!!' Yuuri is fighting with himself in his head.
Then, he saw a soldier going near them. 'Is that Dorcascos?' Yuuri wondered. He saw Dorcascos stop in front of Wolfram and handed him an envelope. Wolfram got the enveloped and nodded to Dorcascos saying that he can leave. Dorcascos bowed and walked away. Wolfram read what's written on the envelope. His eyes brightened up and showed the most beautiful smile Yuuri has ever seen. Yuuri is shocked at what he saw. He can't stop staring at him. His face turned red.
'He never smiled like that whenever we're together.' Yuuri frowned at the thought. He felt something inside him but he doesn't know what.
"YOUR MAJESTY! STOP DAYDREAMING AND CONTINUE YOUR WORK!" Gwendal screamed as he started doing his 'invisible knitting'.
Yuuri got startled and was sent back to reality. "Ah… Sorry Gwendal." He said and continued signing papers while sneaking a peek out of the window to look at Wolf—the two of them. Not just Wolfram. Looking at both Greta and Wolfram.
'I wonder who sent the letter. Wolf was really happy when he received it.' Yuuri can't stop thinking about that letter.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
At dinner time, Yuuri entered the dining room, he saw everyone waiting for him. "Good evening everyone." Yuuri greeted cheerfully. Greta ran to hug him. "YUURI!!" Greta greeted while hugging him. Yuuri hugged her back. "How was your day Yuuri?" She asked. "Oh. It was really tiring. My hand hurts 'cause of all the signing. But at least it was fulfilling." Yuuri said as he escorted his daughter to her seat beside Annissina and walked to his seat.
"So, Yuuri, did you finish all those papers?" Wolfram teased.
"Why yes, yes I did!" Yuuri proudly said.
"Heh. That's a huge improvement for a wimp like you." He smirked.
"STOP CALLING ME A WIMP!!! Anyway, you seem really happy today. Greta, what did you two do something that made him really happy?" Yuuri asked. 'This is a good way to know about that letter.' Yuuri thought.
"Well first, we played in the garden. We made flower crowns, he showed me how the flowers grow, and then we played tag. After that, we went to visit Günter who as in the infirmary after the incident in Annissina's lab." Greta replied.
"By the way, where is Lord von Kleist? He isn't here." Murata asked.
"Günter is resting in his room Your Highness. The invention Annissina made used a lot of his maryoku." Conrad answered,
"I was wondering why it was all quiet and no wailing here." Yuuri joked.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
In Günter's room, Günter is lying down on his bed sleeping. He's moaning "Heika….heika~" and starts to nosebleed.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"And then, in the afternoon, while we were having tea, a letter for Wolfram arrived." Greta giggled.
"Oh, really now. What kind of letter is it?" Yuuri asked with a bit of a dark tone.
Wolfram didn't catch the tone. "Oh, it's just a letter from a dear childhood friend." He stated.
' 'Dear' huh?' Yuuri thought. He feels irritated with the letter but he's not showing it.
Murata sensed the dark aura that's coming out of Yuuri. His glasses shone and he smirked.
"What was in the letter?" Yuuri asked, eyes twitching.
"Oh. Wolfram didn't read it." Greta said. "He just kept it in his pocket and continued playing with me."
"Of course! My daughter is more important than some friend's letter." Wolfram stated as a-matter-of-fact.
"Oh. Is that so?" Yuuri felt happy for some reason. 'Greta is more important huh?' Yuuri thought while smiling at himself.
"What's wrong Shibuya? You jealous?" Murata sneered at Yuuri.
"WH-WHAT? Me? Jealous? No way!!! Why would I be jealous of some letter?" Yuuri said.
"Right. Yuuri can't be jealous." Wolfram said while cutting a piece of meat.
Yuuri felt happy because Wolfram picked his side. "See?" Yuuri said proudly.
"Because he's already a cheater and I don't think he'll be jealous over a simple letter." Wolfram continued.
"Wha- Since when have I been cheating on you?" Yuuri asked.
"Since forever!!! You always flirt with everyone you see. Especially with Lady Flynn and King Saralegui!" Wolfram shouted back.
"Like I told you, they're just good friends. Nothing is happening between us! Also, why Sara? He's a guy! I could never fall for him." Yuuri answered back.
Wolfram felt a small pain inside when he heard one of Yuuri's statements but he didn't show it.
"Hmph! So what? You're still flirting with other people." Wolfram snubbed him while crossing his arms.
"Like I said--"
"Now, now you two. Let's save this lover's quarrel for later ok? Foe now, let's eat this delicious meal that these lovely ladies prepared for us." Murata said interrupted and motioned his arms to the three maids standing at the room, whispering at each other.
The maids saw the people staring at them. They immediately stood erect. It looks like they have another entry for their lottery.
Yuuri and Wolfram blushed at what Murata said.
They continued eating their dinner. After dinner came dessert. Effe came in with a tray full of sweets that she made. Almost everyone fought over the sweet treats.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
After a long, hot bath, Yuuri went into his room and saw Wolfram, in a frilly, pink nightgown, sitting on 'their' king size bed, reading something. He hears chuckles from the blonde prince. He can feel his blood boil.
"Hey Wolf! What are you doing in my room again? And what's that you're reading?" Yuuri said as he climbed up the bad and peeked at what Wolfram is reading.
"I'm your fiancé. It's my duty to protect you even at night. I'm also here to keep you company. This is the letter my friend sent me. She even sent me one of her sketches, see?" Wolfram showed Yuuri the piece of paper with a beautiful sketch of a little girl, who looks like an 8-year-old, carrying a kitten.
"Wow. That's beautiful." Yuuri complimented.
"Yeah. This is her 14-year-old sister and her kitten. She's improved a lot at her drawings." Wolfram said wearing a wrm smile.
' 'She'?' Yuuri's eye twitches.
"W-wait. 14?? She looks like a 8-year-old!!!" Yuuri said shocked.
"Conrad DID tell you that we Mazoku, age slower than humans right?" Wolfram asked, irritated.
"Oh right! I forgot." Yuuri lightly pounded his other hand.
"Hmph! You're so forgetful. That's another reason why you're a wimp." Wolfram said while keeping the letter and drawing.
"Stop calling me a wimp! This is already the third time today." Yuuri snapped.
Wolfram yawned. "Hmm… whatever. G'night Yuuri." He lay down on the bed, covered himself with blanket, lit off the candles, and went to sleep. His back facing Yuuri.
'He sleeps really fast.' Yuuri thought. He stared at the sleeping figure beside him. 'He looks so helpless when he's asleep.' He brushed away some hair from the blonde's face. "Goodnight Wolfram." Yuuri whispered. He lay down, covered himself with blanket, and tried to sleep.
And I mean tried…..
Hours have passed and he can't sleep. He's been tossing and turning but it was no use. He can't stop thinking of the letter, the 'dear' friend, and the beautiful smile that Wolfram was wearing. His back is facing Wolfram's. 'What's wrong with me? I almost got furious because of that stupid letter.' He can hear the heavy breathing of Wolfram. For the first time, he actually felt happy having Wolfram beside him.
Then, he heard shuffling from the other side of the bed. He stiffened, waiting for what's going to happen next. He felt someone moving closer to him. He closed his eyes and pretended to sleep. He felt a hand caressing his cheek and moved to play with his hair. He kind of liked the feeling of the hand playing with his hair. Then, the hand stopped. It removed itself from the head. A few seconds have passed and Yuuri's wondering what will happen next. Then, he felt something warm and soft landed on his cheek. He was shocked but good thing his eyes didn't open. That warm and soft feeling felt similar with the one on his lips before, during 'that' incident. Yes, it's like Wolfram's lips when they kissed that night during the 'Dry Wind' incident. Well, yeah sure, Shinou controlled Wolfram. But it was still Wolfram's lips on his. He thought it felt really good that time.
Now, the same warm and soft feeling is on his cheek. It feels so good that he tries to slowly lean on it more. But the feeling left his cheek. He felt a bit disappointed. Then, he heard someone whisper him something.
"I love you, Yuuri." Wolfram said then, he lay back down and slept.
Yuuri was stunned at what Wolfram did and said. But for some reason, he felt happy and comfortable that he can drowsiness coming to him. He placed a hand on his cheek and fell asleep. He doesn't feel bad about the letter anymore.
