Chapter 1: The inspiration

Wolfram stands outside while watching his men practice, he has a scowling look on his face and is barely paying attention to them. His thoughts have wavered a lot lately, especially when it came to a specific double black wimp whose been ignoring him for the past four weeks. Yuri had been avoiding him a lot lately in very noticeable ways, like dodging him when they past by in the halls of the palace, walking off somewhere in the opposite direction from where wolfram was walking, and not speaking to him or addressing him when wolfram tries to make contact with him. "what's that wimps problem? How can he ignore his fiancé like this?" This thought made him scowl even more and he yells at one of his men for not gripping his sword tight enough. After practice he wanders the halls in search for Greta, it was time for him to read to her. He passes by Yuri's personal office when he hears Yuri's voice inside saying "I'm going to have to break off the engagement".

Wolfram freezes in his tracks, "no it's just my imagination, he must be talking about something else." He heard some other voices in the room and stayed where he was out of sight of whoever was in the room.

Yuri gets up from his desk and walks back and forth in the office trying to figure something out. "I don't want to hurt him but at the same time I really don't want to marry another guy".

Conrad walks up to where Yuri was "Your highness this is a very delicate situation, your about to go back out on an engagement that's been known far and wide to be a legitimate one, everyone has already accepted wolfram as your future bride, I would appreciate it that you treat it with the seriousness it deserves".

Yuri could understand the strictness in Conrad's voice, this was his baby brother after all, yet still "I know Conrad, it's just well since I was young, I have always been used to the tradition Japanese family life, you know with a beautiful wife and two kids and a house, and I come home everyday from work and she has made me dinner and the family sits around the table discussing their day, the same kind of life my dad has. How can I have that married to another guy, especially a temperamental fire demon like wolfram". Yuri passes a hand through his hair and sighs "I only hope that he'll stay and be my friend after this, just because I don't want to marry him doesn't mean I want him out of my life".

Conrad didn't say anything the expression on his face was unreadable "then I suggest you do this as quickly as possible, to prolong this any further would be problematic for the both of you".

Wolfram slid away from the doorway quietly and walked hastily towards the library. If he wasn't so heartbroken he would have killed the wimp. He walks inside the library and over to one of the large bookshelves and leaned against it. He allowed himself to cry soundlessly into his hands praying that no one found him "so that's how he felt all along, I thought that if we were together long enough he would learn to love me, what a fool I was". He sobbed into his hands trying his best not to utter a word, sliding down the book shelf and sitting on the floor. He hugged his knees and buried his face in them, continuing his pity party. " what will happen now? I won't be able to sleep in his bed with Greta, I might even have to move away to uncle's kingdom, I'll have to, I can't stay in the same place as Yuri and watch him court one shameless hussy after another, that would be too painful".

While deep in his sorrow, the blond hadn't noticed that Anissina and Greta entered the library, Greta holding a large book in her hand was the first to speak. "lady anissina, I can't find wolfram anywhere, he was supposed to read me a story".

Wolfram stayed completely still when the two females entered the room and sat down at one of the tables "oh no, I totally forgot, but I can't let them see me like this". He stayed where he was hoping they would leave soon.

Anissina opened up the book and smiles at Greta who took a seat at the other end of the table "not to worry, I'll read this to you, it just happens to be one of my favorites, I call it " Mistress Anissina and the spoiled ogre".

Greta smiles back and sits there to listen "the title sounds interesting".

Annissina begins to read the story "Once Upon a time, there was a mean and cruel selfish ogre king, who got everything he could ever want, from the tiniest of items to the largest of them. He was born into a very wealthy ogre family and had everything he could ever want handed to him on a silver platter. But the only item that he never paid much attention to was a golden musical box that would automatically play a lullaby in the background of his bedroom. This music box would play from sun up to sun down and he wouldn't pay it much mind at all, it fact he was down right sick of it and had planned to get rid of it".

Wolfram listened to the story still wallowing in his own self pity not really caring for the story at all. "I must admit though, I've never heard this one before".

Anissina continues "one day a traveler from a far away land happened upon his kingdom, she had just come from slaying an evil monster and saving the ogre kingdom, could you guess what her name was?"

Greta chuckled "Anissina the great of course".

Anissina laughed "you know me too well. Anyway the ogre who was the king of the land, invited her to the castle and told her that she was to search the palace, there were many valuable things there so if she found what she wanted she could keep it. So she searched the palace, yet everything that she found simply did not meet with her standards. She finally came upon the ogre's room, while there she saw the solid gold music box, playing a beautifull melody, it was such a sweet thing that she took it and presented it to the ogre saying "this is what I want". The ogre laughed and scoffed at anissina saying "take it, it's an old piece of junk anyway, I've had it for years, I was planning to get rid of it anyway". So anissina took the music box and disappeared from the ogre's kingdom, never to be heard from again. For many days and many nights that ogre was unable to sleep, his days were filled with lonely music less mornings and sleepless depressing nights. He then remembered the music box and remembered all the times he had with it, from the first day he got it till the last day he gave it away. He realized he always loved that music box and how big of a mistake he made giving it up. The poor and lonely ogre decided to search for the traveler who took his music box, but could never find any sign of her "oh if only I realized sooner how important my music box was to me, I would have never given it away", he said as he cried and cried his lonely life away. The end"

Greta sat there and blinked for a moment "well that wasn't a very happy ending".

Anissina closed the book "stories can sometimes mirror real life, and in life things don't always have a happy ending".

Greta quircked an eyebrow "but I am a bit confused, I thought he didn't want the music box, why is it that he waited until it was gone before realizing he wanted it".

Anissina stood up and smiled down at her "well young princess, sometimes you won't know what you really have until it's gone, when you have it you won't appreciate it that much, but when it's gone you start to miss it and want it back. In real life most people have a tendency to want what they simply can't have, it's a known fact that's been proven for centuries".

Greta smiles and gets up to follow anissina "oh I get it, but in real life would that same notion work with people too".

Of course" Lady Anissina leads Greta to the door "sometimes people use that method to get back the loved one they have lost, so the best way to get someone to pay attention to you is to pretend not to pay attention to them. It scares that person into thinking that they will lose you forever so they will want to do what they can to keep you all to themselves." Anissina chuckles and then sighs "ah, the workings of the human mind never seize to amaze me. Now come along it's time for your lessons".

Greta follows her out the door "yes ma, am".

Wolfram waits for the door to close before standing up "humpf what nonsense is she filling my daughters head with now, that doesn't really work in the real world". He grumbles to himself while wiping his eyes and cleaning his face with a handkerchief from the tears that were beginning to dry up. He then walks over to the chairs and tables and sits down to think about what he needed to do after Yuri breaks up with him. However his thoughts hovered back to the story Anissina read "no, there's no way that would work, would it?" He frowned a bit and combed his fingers through his hair trying to get the idea out of his head but failing miserably "I could never pull that off, I would have to force myself into believing that I don't love him, could I really do that?"

While he pondered this, Conrad entered the room "wolfram there you are, everything alright?"

Luckily for the blond his tears had dried up and he cleaned off his face a long time ago so it didn't look like he had just been crying "yes, I'm fine why?"

Conrad gave him a sad look " his majesty wishes to see you in his office".

Wolfram became very nervous even though he didn't show it "damn, he's doing this now? but why? Why is he so quick to break my heart?" instead of sorrow, the blonds thoughts were overcome with anger, as he walked out the library and towards Yuri's office "you hate being with me that much don't you? If that's the case then why the hell should I care about trying to get you to love me? Who the hell do you think you are?" The closer they got to the office the more pissed off wolfram had become "I've been there for you since day one, and this is how you treat me? Well I've got a surprise for you wimp, you thought I was mean before? ha… you haven't seen anything yet".

Conrad and Wolfram entered Yuri's office, There they met up with Gunter who had come in as an additional witness. The beautiful male looked at wolfram with a sad expression as the blond walked up to Yuri's desk with an unreadable expression on his face. Yuri looks up at him, unsure and suddenly lacking the confidence he had earlier to do this, the double black king took a deep breath and pulled a document out of his drawer presenting it to wolfram.

Wolfram picked up the document and looked at it "this is from the time I left home to go back and live with uncle, it's the letter I wrote". He then looks back up at Yuri blankly "so this is how you want to do this".

Yuri gives him a stern look "this letter was written by you the day you left to go live with Walterana at his kingdom, it states that you relinquish your role as my fiancé. Therefore this engagement is null and void, we shall no longer continue on with this phony relationship". Yuri exhaled and continued not really knowing what wolfram is thinking "I will not marry you wolfram, this engagement is officially over". Yuri waited for wolframs response, he knew the blond was going to be upset and he was fully prepared for that.

Instead wolfram looks at Yuri for a really long time with an unreadable expression on his face, he then smiles brightly shocking the hell out of everyone in the room "so is that it?"

Yuri jolted a little in his seat "uh… did you hear what I just said?"

Wolfram looks back at him calmly "yes I did, you want to break off the engagement, correct?"

Yuri looks at him carefully to make sure the blond isn't going to start throwing fireballs any minute now "yeah, besides the whole engagement thing was an accident from the get go, so we shouldn't continue on with this charade".

Wolfram nods "I agree absolutely"

Yuri found himself needing to ask him this "so your ok with this? I mean I didn't want to leave you all alone I just….."

Wolfram's chuckle interrupted Yuri, the blond crosses his arms and grins at him " take a good look at me Yuri, It's not exactly possible for someone who looks like me to ever be lonely". Much to Yuri's shock the blond turns and calmly walks towards the door "you will be easily replaced by morning, noon if the first love letter of the day comes in after breakfast, they usually do". He then starts to think out loud to himself so everyone there will hear "I wonder who it will be from this time, a guy or a girl, they have a tendency to come at random".

Just as wolfram met the door, Yuri jolted out of his chair and stood up "your not allowed to leave", He didn't know why he just blurted that out, but for some reason this was important, "you can't leave um…. Because I still need a personal bodyguard, so I will…..need you by my side wolfram".

Wolfram froze for a bit then turned to Yuri completely unfazed " first of all I have been living here since before you even existed, I had no intention of leaving my home because of you, second of all I babysit Greta all the time, so being your bodyguard won't be that much different". Everyone in the room had to pick up their jaw from the floor, it seems that he had blatently insulted the king in such a calm manner "will that be all? I have more important things to attend to".

Yuri stood there for a moment then sat back down, he looked angry but kept it hidden "yes, you may go"

Wolfram shrugs his shoulders and walks out the door. Conrad and Gunter couldn't believe what just transpired, they both looked at Yuri making sure he was ok. Conrad was the first to speak "your majesty? Are you alright?"

Yuri said nothing, but a million thought floated through his head " man that was painful. Just how many shots did he plan to take on me anyway? I felt like bullets had penetrated my heart". He looks at Conrad "I'm fine, I just expected him to be upset, but hey it's no biggie alls well that ends well right?"

Conrad and Gunter looked a bit worried at Yuri as the three men in the room continued on with the day at hand.
