CHAPTER ONE

Typical.

That's what four out of the five occupants of the room thought at the same time just as their respective king kept on ranting about how totally unfair they were being.

"Come on, Gwendal. I've been stuck inside the castle for three whole days. I just wanna get some fresh air." the double black tried to reason yet again with dark haired Mazoku.

"Heika, in your twenty days of absence a lot of work has piled up and in these past three days you keep on mentioning you haven't even finished half of it." Gwendal replied as patiently as he could.

Seeing how the Earth wielder stayed unswayed, the Maou whirled around in search for his godfather. At least he would definitely understand.

"Conrad, tell him he's being unreasonable." Yuri said pleadingly, his desperation showing in his voice. "Well…" Conrad started sheepishly, "we can't have our king fainting from exhaustion, now can we?" he said, earning a frown from his elder brother. "Conrad please, not you too."

"Oh please, Brother. As if Conrad has ever refused anything to that wimp." the youngest of the three brothers commented while shaking his head. "I keep telling you that you're spoiling him way too much." Wolfram continued, this time addressing to Conrad.

"Well, I guess that he could go for a walk in the town and then come back to finish his work." Gunter added, making Gwendal's right eye twitch and Yuri to clap his hands enthusiastically.

"Of course! Definitely! I'll be back in no time." Gwendal couldn't help but sigh at his obvious defeat. "Fine." he finally said.

"I'll accompany you, your Majesty!" Gunter volunteered cheerfully, but before Yuri had any time to reply, Gwendal already had. "You're going to stay here to help me look through these papers so that his Majesty can sign them once he gets back."

"What? But I have to go with-" Gunter began but Yuri cut him off hurriedly. "Gunter, if Gwendal says you're needed here then it must be true. Don't worry, I won't take long."

The violet haired Mazoku let out an exaggerated sigh but made no moves to protest further. "I will be the one accompanying you." Wolfram said sternly, cutting off any further offers. "That's fine with me. What about you, Conrad? You coming with us?"

The person in question gave his godson an apologetic smile. "I'm sorry, Heika. I'm afraid I have a swordsmanship lesson with the new soldiers."

"Oh, okay then. Shall we get going?" Yuri asked turning his head to look at Wolfram who merely nodded in reply. "One moment, Heika." Gwendal said suddenly, causing Yuri to stop dead in his tracks and blink quizzically at him. "Make sure to disguise yourself before heading out to town."

"Gwendal, come on now. Don't you think that this disguising thing is getting old? None of our people would ever attempt to harm me and you know that." Gwendal was about to reply but Gunter jumped in, "Heika, please try to understand. It's not our people we're worried about but the bandits and thieves that lurk in the town."

Yuri placed a finger on his chin, a thoughtful expression upon his face. "But, if that's the case, then wouldn't they recognize me from Ao or Wolfram for that matter?" That caused a frown to settle on everyone's faces, putting them in thought.

"I've got to admit that Yuri has a point there. Not only Shin Makoku but the other countries as well, have knowledge of who the Maou's fiancé is. It's only natural they assume that he is the king once they see me escorting him." Yuri nodded in agreement with Wolfram's musings.

"Wolfram's right. At least, about the assumption thing." At the glare that was directed at him though, the double black added hurriedly. "Not that it matters anyway. Whether they recognize me or not I mean. As long as Wolf sticks around me I doubt they'll even consider doing anything."

The said blond folded his arms over his chest, making a hmph sound while doing so. "Of course they won't. As if I'd even let them."

Yuri nodded his head rapidly, not wanting to rouse his friend's temper again. "You sure have your ways to avoid his tantrums." Conrad whispered as quietly as possible in his king's ear.

"Yeah, I'm learning." Yuri whispered back.

"What are the two of you muttering over there?" Wolfram inquired, a golden eyebrow arched in suspicion. "Nothing! Come on, time's running out Wolf." the Maou said before bidding the others goodbye and then running out of the room.

"Yuri!" the fire wielder exclaimed before stomping out in pursuit of the other boy.

And thus, began their little trip. If only they knew though… that only one of them would be coming back.
