"So this is Shin Makoku. I'm coming Annie. Just you wait for me."

"Your Majesty-"
"For crying out loud, it's been four years Conrart."
"Yes Yuuri," Conrart chuckled softly in amusement, "There's someone requesting your presence."
"Oh, who is it?" Yuuri asked, looking up from the paperwork.
"He said his name was Edmund," Conrart said and Yuuri's eyes widen. "Is something wrong?"
"Nothing. Where is he right now?"
"At the gates. He refused to tell us more than his name so he could be dangerous," Conrart explained and Yuuri nodded.
"I suppose you will be accompanying me to meet this man," Yuuri said as she stood up and Conrart smiled.
"But of course Your Majesty," Conrart said and Yuuri groaned.

Wolfram noticed that there was something out of place when he past the gate. He dismounted his horse and hand the reins to his second-in-command. He ordered them to rest the horses at the stable and gave them the rest of the day off. They had just returned from morning patrol and Wolfram agreed to help Yuuri with her paperwork.
He saw one of the maids walk by and asked her if they are having guests today. However, she knew nothing about it and Wolfram let her go on her way.
As she left, he noticed an unfamiliar figure standing in front of the castle entrance. He looked kind of like a merchant but he did not recognize his clothing. Just as he was about to ask the man identify himself but the castle doors open. The two turned their attention to see Yuuri walked out with Conrart following behind.
"Annie," the man said and Wolfram redirected his attention to the man. He noticed his light brown hair matched well with his honey coloured eyes. However, it was his smile was what caught Wolfram's attention. How dare this man smile like that at his wife. Not to mention he knew her when she lost her memories.
"I don't suppose you're here on a business trip, Edmund," Yuuri replied.
"I was on a business trip but coming here is a personal trip. Please come back Annie. We all miss you, I miss you," Edmund said and Wolfram felt disgusted by the words.
"Yuuri," Wolfram called out and caught their attention. Yuuri's eyes widen and she turned to whisper something to Conrart but Wolfram could not make out what she said as he walked towards them.
"Please come with me Lord Edmund," Conrart said and ushered the man inside.
"I have some business to take care of before I meet with you," Yuuri said. The man nodded and followed Conrart inside.
After the two disappeared behind the doors, Yuuri grabbed Wolfram's hand and led him to the garden before he could protest. Yuuri sat him down on one of the benches and she held his hands in hers. Her eyes glued onto their hands and never looked up at him once.
"Wolfram, I'm so sorry I forgot about this but I was so overwhelmed by everything and I forgot to tell you," Yuuri said and Wolfram can hear the panic in her voice.
"Then tell me now," Wolfram soothed, caressing her hand with his thumb. He felt her grip tighten and started to worry a little.
"It... It was Edmund's family who first found me. Well, his third wife to be exact. I had lost my memory so they took pity on me. I worked for them as a maid for about a year I believe, before..." Yuuri paused and held her breathe for a moment before continuing in a more rush manner, "before Edmund and I were married... About half a year into our marriage, his mother told me he wanted to divorce me. I originally said that I would wait for his return to talk about it but she insisted that he did not want to see me. His signature was already on the agreement so I thought he did want this so I went with it. After all, it was a pretty empty relationship so it didn't matter much to me. Actually, now that I think about it, that night was the last night I ever saw them again. But I love you more than anything. We didn't do anything I would regret if I told me."
"You getting worked up for nothing Yuuri," Wolfram pulled his hands away from her and caressed her cheeks. He tilted her head up to face him and used his thumb to wipe away the unshed tears. "I trust that nothing would have happened if you had your memories. You were lost and didn't know what you wanted. But now that you do remember, who would you choose, me or him?"
"You of course! I will never do anything to make you doubt that," Yuuri said and Wolfram smiled at her. He leaned and kissed her on the forehead.
"And I will always love you. Forever and always."
I hope that everyone who read Remember Me Again would like a sequel. If not, oh well, it's still going to exist.
