Kyou Kara Maou's Talent Show

Mother's day is coming, and Lady Cheri had many wonderful ideas playing in her little mind. *giggles* "Darcaskos, get Gwendal, Conrad and Wolfram to gather in my hall room. I have something important to announce." She gave one big wide smile to Darcaskos, sending shivers up his spine. "Y-Yes!" Darcaskos replied with the usual energetic, loud tone, right hand saluting Lady Cheri.

Without wasting time Darcaskos raced out of Lady Cheri's room, looking for all the important people to meet Lady Cheri in her room. The first three people he saw were the former Maou's three precious sons. He stopped in front of them, "Your Excellencies!" His right hand saluting again. So loud his tone that Wolfram did not like it.

"Can you lower down your voice, are you trying to turn us deaf?!"

"Wolfram…" Conrad turned his attention to Darcaskos, "What brings you here?"

"Lady Cheri…" he begins energetically, but his voice trailed off slowly when he received Wolfram's glare. "Lady Cheri," much softer this time, but the speed increased rapidly, "wanted to meet all of you in her hall room as soon as possible, she was planning something, I can see, with that infuriating smile of hers, woooh, I can feel the chill out to my spine when she smiled, but anyway the important point is that she wants to see all of you, your excellencies in her room, if possible, right now, at this moment, this instant, this second if possible—"

"Hai, hai, Darcaskos, we get your point, we'll just see her now," Conrad knew if he didn't stop Darcaskos the story would go on and on. Really, poor Darcaskos could just say that 'Lady Cheri has something important to tell, so meet her as soon as possible', instead of creating a whole brand new paragraph to explain that particularly short sentence.

The three brothers, with Darcaskos following behind, walked to their mother's room, only to see her looking at an old musical box. (A/N: they have that in Shin Makoku?) "Ah! My sweethearts!" She smiled. "I have a brilliant idea!"

Now I finally understand the reason Darcaskos freaked out. "Hahaue," Wolfram was interested, "why do you need us in such hurry? Did anything happen?"

The only answer Wolfram received was another chuckle. Lady Cheri slowly begins, her voice seem to have hidden a hint of sadness, or loneliness, perhaps, "This musical box," she turned her attention to Conrad, "was given by Conrad's father." Conrad stared at the musical box. It wasn't anything special, just a simple wooden-made outer box, above carved two little figures, sitting closely next to each other. Somehow the simple little wooden box seems to require skillful hands and techniques to produce such fine art. Conrad assumed the two little figures were his father and mother.

"Dan Hiri made this by himself, a gift for our first year anniversary. I didn't know how he inserted or fixed the musical melody in it; he said it was a secret. And soon enough he left for his journey again." Lady Cheri's eyes started swelling with tears. Those who are more active rolled down her cheek.

"Hahaue," Conrad emerged and kneeled in front of his mother, slender fingers wiping of the now stream-like liquid. "Hahaue, I'm so sorry." Conrad obviously felt sorry for his mother, having someone so pretty like her to be left alone and husband out in the world wondering. "Conrad, what are you talking about," Lady Cheri tried her best to speak cheerfully. Her voice, however, was unable to hide her true feelings. "Besides, I was the one to encourage him to do the things he feels right," she patted Conrad's head, as if he was still a small boy. "That's why, I came up with an idea!" she smiled gleefully.

Gwendal's eyebrow twitched. Woman's mood swings…

"I want to organize a talent show competition!"

"Huh," Wolfram sounded confused, "talent show?"

"TALENT SHOW?!"

Wolfram shot another deathly glance towards Darcaskos.

"Yes! Darcaskos, spread this news this instant to the whole castle. All participants are required to pair up with another person, and perform a musical duet on Mother's day, any musical instrument pairing is fine," added Lady Cheri, "and it's compulsory for Yuuri-heika and Gunter to participate as well."

"Y-Yes!" The third salute of the day.

"And of course, my honeys," she gave a mischievous grin to all her three sons, "you must all participate in this."

All three pairs of eyes stared into the former Maou's. *smiles* This is going to turn out interesting.

Read and Review, please..! i'll try to improve if it bad!

Next Chapter: Conrad and Wolfram. What instruments will they be playing? (: And the song? (: Links of the songs played will be given in every pairing and chapter for imaginations purpose. (: IF POSSIBLE, i'll TRY doing a simple video/slideshow for the pairings.
