I've been searching around wikipedia recently and found information about teas and german and frence cuisine, so I may include them here. Others I may get from the anime Kuroshitsuji (Kuroshitsuji is not my inspiration in this fic, it just provides me some small information about certain things or food more specifically blended teas)

Chapter two

"Then from now on, you're my servant"
Yuuri's voice rang loud and clear, leaving the blond servant agape while the soldier and the medic stood shocked and speechless, eyes wide open
Yuuri gazed at those emerald green eyes with determined eyes that held a glint of . . . regret? Thousands of questions flowed through the maou's head as he held the gaze a moment longer before he turned on his heel and left the room
. . .
. .
.
"W-what. . ." Wolfram muttered after a few seconds. Groaning, he collapse on the bed, mentally and spiritually drained. He covered his eyes with his right arm as he tried to make sense of his thoughts
Hahaue
Someone other than Him accepted me
He looks kind but I don't know how long it will last or whether he will come to realize his mistake and throw me away
Just like my other 'Masters'
I do have my pride as a servant but. . . I'm so tired of being tossed around like a rag doll
The only thing that kept me going was the memories that I shared with you,
We were so happy, living with no care of the world,
until you left, with only a note
'Wolfram,
I'm sorry
I will find you when the time comes
When I find you, I'll introduce you to your brothers. Yes you have brothers, very kind and loyal brothers
So until then wait for me,'
I want to meet them. . . My brothers. . . .
Hahaue,
I hope you'll find me soon
He uncovered his half lidded eyes, brimming up with tears. He turned his head towards the window, where he can see trees swaying softly to the wind in the garden
Yuuri Heika,
Thank you
His eyes got heavier and heavier as leaves dancing gracefully in the wind silently lulled him into a dreamless sleep.
After recovering from his stupor, the Soldier bowed to the green haired medic and then went to search for the double black
Gisela sighed as she went over to the blonde and covered him with a white blanket. Smiling as she whispered to his ear "Welcome to Blood Pledge Castle. . ."
"lord von Bielefelt" she stood up and headed to the door but not before giving one last smile to the sleeping figure and muttered mostly to herself " Lady Cheri must be proud to have you as a son. If only she can see you now she would mistake you for an ethereal being filled with beauty"

Yuuri strode through the halls completely unaware that his nazukeoya, Conrart was looking for him or the fact that he didn't even know where he was going or where he was. His mind is too occupied to care for that matter
Why?
That question ran through his mind, he stopped walking and hung his head low, clenching his fist hard enough to draw blood.
Why did he decide to keep the blonde?
As his servant for that matter, he wasn't that kind of person to order around people to his every bidding
So why. . .?
Didn't he want to help him? to free him?
If he really wanted to help, then Wolfram would be free
But. . .
Why did his heart clench painfully as he thought of Wolfram furthering away from his grasp? Even though they just met. . .
Why?
He raised his head a little as a small smile crept to his face. So many questions ran through his head but he was sure of one thing, he doesn't want Wolfram out of his grasp. He doesn't know what he's feeling but he's sure he'd find the answer
'I hope Wolfram would forgive me,
because just this once, I wish to be selfish
and I don't regret keeping you here one bit'
with a small smile, Yuuri started to walk away disappearing through the halls

The dining room was brimming with small talks, gossips and laughter . . . well for the exception of a silent Gwendal getting new wrinkles with every dramatic speech of Gunter and an unusually silent Yuuri picking and rolling his Klöße (Kloesse) [1] around his plate and every now and then eating it until none are left
Then the main course came, which is Sauerbraten [2] with potato dumplings and red cabbage. In English it means Sour pickled roast meat.
Yuuri sighed, lunch was too slow. He was planning to announce that Wolfram will be his servant after lunch. He sighed again, catching the attention of Conrart.
. . .
. .
. . .
.
Conrart kept casting Yuuri worried glances. Yuuri ,he noticed was quite enchanted by the presence of the blonde. He can't blame him, when he shook Wolfram's hand, he felt an unexplainable feeling of wanting to protect shot through him and his hand relaxed at the feeling of the servant's skin, aside from small cuts and bruises, the hand felt soft and silky.
He even wondered himself, why did he felt peacefully calm when he's around him even for such a short while they've met
In Yuuri's little outburst, he was shocked. Yuuri as far as he knew, would not keep someone as a personal servant instead he would find some way to free the blonde.
. . .
. .
.
Conrart smiled to himself as he ate a spoon of welf pudding [3], he felt somewhat relieved that the blonde will stay, he just hopes that none would take his majesty's decision negatively, He glanced at Yuuri once more and noticed he was about to stand up 'it's finally time'
Yuuri stood up and cleared his throat, gaining the attention of some occupants. "uhm everybody, I uh want to make an announcement"
At that sentence, almost all the occupants emitted a surprised gasp, it wasn't everyday their maou wanted to announce something, it was usually Gwendal or Gunter. And the Maou seems nervous or something.
" uhh you know uh uhm" Yuuri stuttered, Why did he felt so nervous? He was only going to announce that Wolfram will be his new personal servant, its not like he'll announce an engagement with him or anything, he is not homosexual, Wolfram is boy, and he only wanted him to stay because uhh he wants the blonde as his friend, but what about ah ARGHH! TO HELL WITH IT YUURI! JUST ANNOUNCE THE STUPID ANNOUNCEMENT!
"I'll just say this once, the blonde that I saved 2 days ago, his name is Wolfram and. . . He's my new personal servant" Yuuri announced, a small joyous smile on his face, suddenly all feeling of nervousness flowed out from his body as happiness splashed through him, saying that out loud . . . implying Wolfram will stay, has made him happy for some unknown reason, thinking about it now, he wants to hug the blonde and caress those soft, golden locks . . .-
"HEIKA!" Gwendal yelled, stone blue eyes flashed with anger and annoyance, Everyone was startled with the slight quake of the table as the green clad mazoku slammed his hands on the table. "Don't make decisions by impulse! For all you know, he may be an assassin! Don't you know your safety is important to us!"
"He is not dangerous! And I am king, so I can make my own decisions!" Yuuri glared back, he knew he wasn't always like this but he didn't like the things Gwendal said, he doesn't know why he was deeply offended that the Mazoku would say foul things about his- . . . errr the blonde
Fortunately for Yuuri, Gunter decided to butt in "That's right Gwendal, our dear handsome and glorious Maou can make his decisions by himself! And if anything happens, I'll be there to catch the Maou when he falls then he'll fall inlove with me and we will be all lovey dov-" Gunter fantasized with a blush and his eyes sparkled.
"That's not the point here! And there's no need to catch the maou if he never falls in the first place" Gwendal scoffed at Gunter, not noticing that Yuuri just excused himself and went to the door.
"How could you? You're trying to break the love between his majesty and I! Aren't you? Why Gwendal? Why are you breaking the love of his majesty. . ." Gunter's voice faded as Yuuri distanced himself from the dining room
Yuuri's feet led him to the infirmary where a certain blonde slept peacefully. Yuuri smiled as he sat down on the bed and caressed Wolfram's locks. Ever since he met Wolfram it's as if he doesn't know anymore, every question that ran through his mind always ended with I don't knows, like now, caressing a boy's locks, chuckling at the sight of the blond's flushed cheeks when he hit a sensitive spot, even though he's straight. He finds it quite attractive and alluring, though he wasn't ready to admit he's gay yet. He was still straight. Maybe these feelings are just those of friendship.
. . .
. .
.
Yuuri chuckled as he kissed Wolfram's temple, s scent of rose and vanilla filled his senses.
A wonderful scent though it seems sad like an unreachable beautiful memory, maybe its because of the rose. They say the smell of roses trigger memories. Despite the sad feeling, it gives out a calm serenity and sweetness that the vanilla omitted.
A scent of vanilla and rose, A sad, sweet scent, an addicting smell to the king, truly fitting for a beautiful soul.
Truly fitting for the blonde beauty below him,
. . .
. .
Knock knock
.
A soft knock can be heard, as Conrart peeked from the door.
"your Majesty, Gwendal is looking for you"
Yuuri nodded as he stood up and followed Conrart out of the room, he knew Gwendal would confront him, after leaving him ranting with Gunter. The mazoku would be down right furious.
Xxxxxxx
"Heika, if you want to keep your servant, I suggest you need to work harder"
Looking at 4 large piles of documents, he gulped
So this is Gwendal's punishment. . .
Not bad but not good either
Yuuri sighed but did his work anyways
. . .
. .
.
Gwendal glanced at him at the corner of his eye
This is one of the few times that he saw Yuuri being selfish.
One time was when Soushu was defeated, he decided to leave Shin Makoku and left for earth
At that Gwendal understood his reasons however this. . .this servant brat caused him to be selfish. He would've break the servant contract if Yuuri wanted to help the brat, Gwendal wanted to know everything, as to why that brat affected the double black king. Though he is not that approval of the brat staying here at the castle, he had never even met him. He isn't too sure but he won't confront the servant just yet. He would observe first. If he deems the brat safe enough, then he won't have any problem him being the Maou's servant.
Though looking at Yuuri working like that, The servant might be a good asset to keep the maou from running away

Gisela smiled from her desk as she remembered a certain blind teacher of hers, Julia passed everything she knew about Lady Celi's disappearance to Gisela, and asked her to help Lady Celi for her. Of course she would do it. She met Wolfram's mother once when she accompanied Julia visited her in a neighboring town and became friends easily, she decided long ago that she would help. Gisela smile at the memories as she quietly whispered to herself
"Your son is doing well, Lady Celi. Conrart-kaka seems to like him, but I'm not too sure about Gwendal-kaka but I'm sure the brothers would be reunited, Oh and King Yuuri seems to have taken a liking towards him aswell"

I'm SORRY! It's just that I do find it cute when Wolfram snores but . . . when I tried to write it, it turned out okay but something doesn't seem quite right so I reread it again and found flaws so I changed it! I'M SORRY! TT^TT
