Masquerade
"My dears I have missed you all so much", Lady Cheri squealed as she entered the castle after a month long voyage at sea. "Hahaue, it's only been a month, you have been away longer before."
Wolfram said as he received a bone-crushing hug from the former Maou. Lady Cheri then went on to hug the rest, including Yuuri. Yuuri just smiled simply and greeted Lady Cheri. " Can we have a ball
to celebrate my coming back, Yuuri?" Cheri asked eagerly. "Of Course!"
Preparations for the ball were underway. "Wimp! What are you doing? Go back to your lessons. Gunter has been searching all over the place for you. " Wolfram said to Yuuri who was playing with Greta
after escaping from Gunter. " Wolf... I only left because Gunter was busy helping to decorate the castle." "Hmph! Wimpy King, just trying to escape from his lessons again." Wolfram muttered under his
breath and left to train his troops, who were waiting just a few meters away. Mikaels, his new second-in-command came up to him and gave him a status report. Wolfram then divided the soldiers into
pairs and started a sparring session. He went to personally correct each soldier's posture and technique. Wolfram was dedicated to his work and so did not notice two pairs of eyes on him. One from his
reluctant fiancé and another from his own troop.
'Wolfram's just too good-looking for his own good,' Yuuri thought to himself as he noticed Wolfram's men clamouring for his attention. The day went on and soon, the sun had begun to set. Yuuri got up
after an extended tea session with Greta. He held out a hand for the little girl who gathered her favourite dolls and reached for Yuuri's hand. "Good job everyone. Your sword skills are improving rapidly,
even if some of you have become worse," a quick glare at a few soldiers who were grinning sheepishly. 'They weren't becoming worse, they just wanted an excuse to touch you,' Yuuri thought angrily,
surprising himself in the process.
