DICLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN KYO KARA MAOH OR IT'S CHARACTERS.
So, I'm redoing this entire story because, frankly, it's horrifying to read through my old author's notes. It's like I was a completely different person, when I first wrote this. There's also a lot of things I want to fix, particularly chapter eight. If you're reading this after I fixed chapter eight from being more author's note than chapter(which I regret to say is how I wrote it), then you're lucky. I'll make the chapters a little longer, as well.
Conrad's POV
After a long day of work, I decide to stop by Yuuri's room to say good night. It's a little late, so I'm not sure if he's awake, but seeing his face always gives me a good night's sleep.
I'm at the maoh's door, just about to knock, when I hear sounds from inside...
They're sounds of pleasure.
As Wolfram calls out Yuuri's name, my stomach twists with disgust and jealousy. I turn away from the room and walk down the hall to my own.
The thing is, though, it's forbidden for the maoh to do anything sexual before marriage. Did Wolfram and Yuuri elope without anyone knowing? But, when would they have done it? Could it be that they were breaking the law?
I shake my head. I can't assume anything unless I ask Yuuri, himself.
Yuuri's POV
I awaken just like any other day. My accidental fiance has me hanging half off the bed and the sun, through the window, blinds me mercilessly. The only difference today has from any average day is the fact that the room lacks the presence of my adopted daughter; Greta spent the night observing Anissina and another crazy invention, so she must have fallen asleep doing so.
After I dress and exit the room, ignoring the sleeping blond muttering something about me in his sleep, I find Conrad standing right outside my door. He looks a lot more serious than usual... Did something happen?
"Your majesty, I would like to converse with you in private." His statement sounds more like a command. Half curious, half afraid, I nod without argument, bracing myself for whatever he needs to tell me.
I follow him, a bit puzzled, to some random empty room that I didn't even know was in the castle.
There is a long, awkward silence before I grow tired of the heavy atmosphere. "Wh-what is it? You want to tell me something?" I stumble over my words, worried about what the important and possible tragic announcement or question may be.
"Your Majesty," he begins. "You know about the law of the maoh's abstinence before marriage, do you not?"
What? All this fuss about some law? Yes, I know it, what about it? Confused questions zoom through my skull to fast for me to make sense of anything. All I can think of to reply is, "Yeah, and call me Yuuri. You gave me the name, after all."
He nods. "Yuuri... It is a poor representation of the country," he adds.
What is going on? How am I supposed to reply that? Well, I have to respond in some way, so I nod.
When Conrad realizes I won't say anything, he sighs. "Last night, I overheard you and Wolfram-"
My eyes widen, my face warming and contorting in the utmost puzzlement. "Wait," I cut him off. "You think I... Umm... Conrad... I assure you I have never done anything... like that!"
Brown eyes stare at me, analyzing me. "Are you positive?"
I nod my head furiously. "Of course I am! You really don't believe that I actually had... had se-..." I can't say it! "With Wolfram!"
"Your Majesty. You were in your room last night, were you not?"
My brain hurts so much, I don't bother to yell at him for not using my name. "Yah..." I confirm hesitantly.
Soon, he becomes just as confused as I am, if not more.
An awkward silence commences...
Breaking the silence is Conrad's apology. "Sorry. I won't bother you about it again."
What was that all about...?
