Prologue

Yuuri Harafuji Shibuya is again on a quest to pursue a peace treaty from a small but rich human country. He volunteered himself to present Shin Makoku for the sole reason that he is bored in the Blood Pledge Castle and this small adventure of his will release him from his stump. Don't get him wrong, he loves Blood Pledge Castle just like his home on Earth but the duties of being a ruler can get to him like other teenagers. And now he is with Conrad and Yozak towards to unknown land – which for him is really unknown.

His advisors hesitantly agreed, as the journey will be short and safe as their destination is a little close to home that is why there are only ten soldiers including Yozak and Conrad.

In this human country, he will enjoy this freedom to breathe the fresh and pleasant scent that he could not find in Shin Makoku. He will take pleasure in riding Aoi and experience the new culture like a foreigner he is. He can already imagine the exotic food that he no doubt will sample, and knows that is drooling just imagining their unique taste.

Suddenly, he was startled out of his trance as Aoi stops. He asks Conrad and Yozak to why they did stop suddenly when he notices that they are literary stop on their track as there no involuntary movement that indicates that they are alive. They are still like a living-breathing statue. He immediately guards up, sensing his environment. He hold Aoi reins tightly, knowing to depend on his horse when something go awry as Aoi is a war horse, he is trained to be in a situation like this. But not him, he tries to recall every teaching the others taught him but he never been in this situation before. He alone will face an unknown adversary add to the fact that he is worried for Conrad and Yozak.

But he was not given a chance to take the situation more closely, as the enemy strike behind and renders him unconscious. But before he surrenders to the oblivion, he releases a flare of maryoku that will act like an imaginary flare. And then completely give into the unconsciousness. Hoping that Gunter and the others will save his entourage and himself.

Blood Pledge Castle

Maou-Heika Yuuri Shibuya, just recently left yesterday late afternoon to represent Shin Makoku to a peace treaty to a small but richful human country. His advisors, Gwendal and Gunter are holding the fort. While Wolfram is ignorant that his fiancé is in his one of adventures towards peace and cannot accompany the Maou-Heika due to his own duties as a Bielefield. And such the farewells are quite solemn without the accusations of "cheating wimp". As such, the vigor in the castle is in restrained unlike when the Maou is present.

Gwendal, the royal advisor is knitting after the long period of signing the endless papers when suddenly he is startled by the unique flare of the maryoku of their Maou. He immediately let go of his knitting items, and order the guard outside his door to assemble all the guards in the courtyard. When Gunter stumbles in his office, panicking. He tried to calm the royal tutor as he will be the sole person to hold the fort. After Gunter calmed down, he gives him commands before his return and he sent a note to inform him immediately of the reason for such release of maryoku.

Secretly, Gwendal hopes that nothing happen just an accidental influx of the Maou's maryoku as the Great Sage informs them of the possible changes that the Maou is experiencing due to his growth and exposure to the elements of this world. Also, knowing the fact that it is to early for the Maou to release such maryoku but he can hope.

He sent his fastest scouts towards the last location of the Maou that was sent by Yozak. They must immediately reach there, as there is no time to waste when there is no knowledge of what is the current situation. He is also sent the flying-bone tribe to search the location of the Maou and inform the scouts. He and his soldiers will reach hopefully the Maou's location after a half-a-day ride in their fastest pace and meet the Maou's entourage on today's stopover.

After Half-a-Day Ride

The scout first found the entourage of Maou, and immediately sends a flying-bone tribe to Gwendal informing him the location and the status. As Gwendal receive the information he cannot help to feel a pain in his heart.

"The Maou's entourage has been found directly on the open and still on the road, status cannot be confirmed. Still like a statue, not breathing but still alive. The Maou is not with the entourage. We will be looking for more clues and the location of the Maou."

When Gwendal reach the Maou's entourage, just as what the scout have described the entourage is still like a statue. He immediately depart from his horse and personally check himself the heartbeat of his brother and release a sigh of relief when he feels a pulse, just slow and compare it to Yozak. And find that they are the same, as if they are still on a set of time. Hopefully, Gisela or even Anissina will solve this mystery.

But now, Gwendal is thinking: "Where is the Maou?"

Hopefully the scout will have some information or the next few days there will be chaos.
