Chapter 2
Even though it happened yesterday, the event was still stucked on Wolfram's head. Both he and Andrew were in his office talking about it...
"When do you plan on leaving?" Andrew asked.
"I don't know, but I want to leave as soon as possible. Before I end up hurting someone again" Wolfram replied with a serious look on his face.
"Then let's leave three nights from now."
"Yeah, I think so too. At least I can still spend some time with my brothers and that wimp before I betray them."
"Are you sure this is the only alternative left?"
"Yes, it's for the best."
Then someone barged in. It was Murata (or the Great Sage)...
"So it's true then" He said.
"How long have you been standing there?" Wolfram asked as Andrew peeked outside to see if someone else was there and closed the door.
"Long enough. Don't worry I won't spoil your plans. Actually Shinou already told me what happened, but I had to hear it to know if it was true." Murata replied.
"It's true. Please don't tell anyone about this" Wolfram begged.
"So where do you plan to go?"
"Three nights from now I will leave for Big Shimaron, in hoping I won't ever see Yuuri or my brothers again" Wolfram replied.
"And you think you can live with that? If ever Big Shimaron and The Great Demon Kingdom experience problems all of you would meet again, and do you know how hurt they
will be, when they see you have allied yourself with the enemy?"
"I am ready to face the concequences of my actions. And it is better this way at least they would only be hurt in the inside rather than dying by my hand."
"I guess I can't stop you any more since you have made up your mind."
"And Geika?"
"What is it Wolfram?" Murata asked.
"I have a favor to ask of you..."
Yuuri and Conrad were outside playing baseball again as usual...
"Hey Conrad, doesn't it bother you?"
"What does, Heika?"
"About the strange behavior Wolfram is showing." Yuuri said looking very worried.
"Of course I am Heika. But I respect Wolfram, he will tell us if it's the right time" Conrad replied.
"I believe him too but..."
"Don't worry too much Heika."
"Okay then. And Conrad..."
"Yes Heika?"
"It's Yuuri"
"Very well, Yuuri" Conrad said smiling. Meanwhile in Gwendal's office...
"So have you found anything yet?" Gwendal asked.
"Nothing so far your excellency. And when I asked Lord von Bielefeld' subordinates they just said his excellency was acting different and he's always smiling" Yozak reported.
"He doesn't get mad?" Guinter asked.
"No sir, when he's about to get angry it's either he stops himself or Andrew stops him from getting angry" Yozak replied.
"Very well, continue keeping an eye on him and report to me immediately if he does something out of the ordinary" Gwendal instructed.
"Yes sir" Yozak said before leaving.
"Do you think Shinou-Heika is planning something again?" Guinter asked.
"I don't know" Gwendal said. 'What the hell is wrong with you Wolfram?!' he thought to himself.
That afternoon Lady Celi came for a visit.
"Hello hahaue, how was your trip?" Conrad asked.
"It was fun but I didn't meet anyone special. And how have you been Gwendal?" she asked.
"I'm fine" Gwendal replied coldly.
"You are still so cold Gwendal. No wonder all the girls are afraid of you." His mother said jokingly. Yuuri saw a vein pop in Gwendal's forehead after hearing his mother's words.
Conrad and Guinter were giggling.
"Wolfie! My baby! You look more beautiful since we've last seen each other" she said cheerfully.
"..."
"Your majesty you look even more handsome than ever come give me a hug!" Lady Celi said. Yuuri's eyes widen, but he didn't have time to react because Lady Celi was already
hugging him to death.
"Hahaue you are strangling..." Wolfram was about to get angry, but stopped himself "Hahaue, you are strangling Yuuri, let him go" he said calmly. Gwendal, Guinter, Yuuri and
Conrad noticed the sudden change of Wolfram's emotion. Lady Celi looked at her youngest son with puppy eyeswith a tear falling out of her eye.
"What's wrong hahaue?" Wolfram asked.
"Wolfie, you don't get mad at me anymore. My baby has grown up!" Lady Celi cried. The rest of them just looked at Wolfram, waiting for his reaction and they all saw he was
about to explode.
"If you don't stop crying right now..." Wolfram said in an angry tone. Everyone looked at him. "I won't call you my hahaue anymore, now if you would excuse me." Wolfram said
smiling. That smile gave the rest of them chills, it was like an evil grin. They were all surprised, Yuuri's mouth was wide open from the shock.
"Alright I will! Just don't stop calling me hahaue!" Lady Celi said grasping Wolfram's left arm, but as soon as she grasped it tightly...
'OW!' Wolfram said in his mind and kneeled down on one knee, his right hand holding his left arm.
"Wolfram are you okay?!" Yuuri and Lady Celi shouted.
"I'm fine, you don't have to worry. Let's go hahaue" Wolfram smiled as he stood back up.
"If you want to hold on to me, grasp my right arm instead"Wolfram said smiling at his mother. Lady Celi hold on to his son's right arm as he instructed.
"Wolfram is something wrong with your left arm?" Conrad asked.
"Please tell us if you're hurting Wolfram" Yuuri begged.
"Like I said don't worry, I'm fine" Wolfram said and led his mother inside the castle.
"He still doesn't want to tell us" Conrad said.
"Of course he won't tell" A voice said from behind. They all turned to the man behind...
"Murata/Geika?" Yuuri and Guinter said surprised.
"What do you mean when you say 'of course he won't tell us' Geika?" Gwendal questioned suspiciously.
"Geika, you do know what's going on right? Please tell us, we are becoming very worried of Wolfram" Guinter pleaded.
"I do know, but like what Andrew has told you, I cannot tell you Wolfram himself will tell you" Murata (or the Great Sage) replied.
"But when Murata?" Yuuri said impatiently.
"Soon, Shibuya. Very soon. Now why don't we go in now, it's getting darker" Murata said and they all went in the castle.
During supper, Murata and Lady Celi joined them...
"Excuse me but I'll go to my office now" Wolfram said and was about to leave...
"For some reason are you angry at me Wolfram? Is it because you don't want me to find you a new father? Why are you being so cold to me? Eversince I came back you've
been acting differently. You don't shout at me anymore, you don't even get mad, why Wolfram?" his mother asked tears falling from her eyes, and this Wolfram and everyone
could tell her tears were not fake tears. Everyone was surprised and they turned to Wolfram they too wanted to know the reason why. After a moment of silence, Wolfram
turned around and stood in front of his mother. He sighed, Lady Celi looked at his son, Wolfram could see the tears in his mother's eyes. He slowly wiped the tears away...
"Even though I don't get mad or shout at you doesn't mean I'm not your son anymore. And although I don't approve of you going on your trips to find another man to
replace father, I still respect you. If finding another man would make you happy then I'm not forbidding you to get yourself one. But I'll never stop being your son. Now that I
have explained myself, stop crying or no man's ever going to love you" Wolfram warned. Lady Celi couldn't stop her tears, she knelt on the floor and hugged Wolfram. Wolfram
just smiled. He then knelt down also "Stop crying now, why don't you enjoy the rest of dinner and I'll see you tomorrow" Wolfram smiled and assisted his mother to her seat.
She wiped the rest of her tears and said...
"I guess I'll see you tomorrow" She smiled. Wolfram just nodded returning her smile and left the room.
"He's grown hasn't he?" Lady Celi told the others.
"It's not that hahaue" Conrad said sadly.
"He's been acting strange lately. He doesn't get mad or shout at anyone" Gwendal said.
"He doesn't even call me a wimp anymore" Yuuri added.
"But why is he acting that way?" Lady Celi asked them, but they couldn't reply.
"They don't know why. But if you stay for two more days you'll get your answer" Murata said.
"Why, what will happen in two days Murata?" Yuuri asked.
"Just wait and see"
"So how did the dinner with your mother and everyone go?" Andrew asked.
"Mother cried she thought I hated her because of my strange behavior" Wolfram said.
"I see. Well then I'll leave so you can rest Wolfram" Andrew said and left but he stayed outside the room to guard Wolfram.
The next day Gwendal and the others came up with a plan to anger Wolfram,and to turn him back to his old bratty self.
"But Gwendal, wouldn't it be dangerous?" Conrad asked.
"You were nearly burned by Wolfram the other day" Guinter added.
"Really when?" Yuuri asked.
"Don't worry" Gwendal said.
"I object as well, but since you've made up you're mind I won't stop you. But answer me this, would it really be alright for you if you die? Can you let your brother carry that
guilt?" Murata asked.
"I won't die" Gwendal said stubbornly.
"Make sure you don't. Remember this is your choice, if you die you then the others can't blame Wolfram" Murata said and left.
"Why did Geika sound angry?" Guinter asked.
"Are you sure you really want to do this?" Conrad asked again.
"I'll do it, but in case I die don't blame Wolfram okay?" Gwendal asked, and all of them nodded.
So Wolfram was told to go to the courtyard, Gwendal was waiting for him there, while Yuuri and the others hid behind the walls...
"I still don't think this is a good idea." Yuuri said.
"I agree I can't see my sons fight each other" Lady Celi cried.
"Why have you called for me brother?" Wolfram asked.
"You know why I asked you to come here" Gwendal said.
"If we're going to fight, then I'm leaving?" Wolfram said turning around, his back facing Gwendal.
"Are you afraid you're going to lose?"
"It's not that!" Wolfram was shouting now.
"Then what?! If you won't tell me then I have no choice but to use force" Gwendal said and used his earth majutsu at Wolfram. A huge rock came out of nowhere and hitted
Wolfram's head. His head was now bleeding but he stood up "Stop it Anuie! I don't want to hurt you!" Wolfram shouted.
"Then you'll die" Gwendal replied, and sent another huge rock at Wolfram this time Wolfram collapsed to the ground.
"Do you still think it's wise not to use your majutsu on me?" Gwendal asked. But this time when Wolfram stood up and turned around to face him, his eyes had changed to
bloody red. Everyone saw this.
"You foolish man, do you think you had the slightest chance of defeating me? But if you want your death so badly then I'll give it to you. All that makes up the element of fire,
obey this proud mazoku, I summon the dragon of fire to kill this foolish man!" Wolfram shouted and a fire dragon charged Gwendal sending him towards the walls. Gwendal
collapsed on the ground.
"Gwendal!" They all shouted. Gwendal tried to stand up, but dropped to his knees.
"I can't believe you survived the attack of the fire dragon, but now I'll end your life" Wolfram said smiling.
"Stop it Wolfram!" Yuuri shouted.
"That's enough Wolfram!" Wolfram turned around and saw Andrew rushing to him.
"He's your brother, Wolfram! We talked about this! Didn't you tell me you'ld rather die than hurt them?! Snap out of it!" Andrew shouted. The others watched them.
Wolfram turned to Gwendal.
"My brother?" He said and his eyes turned to normal. "Gwendal!" He shouted.
But Gwendal couldn't hold on much longer and fell to the ground unconcious. The others went to him.
"Gwendal! Oy Gwendal, hold on!" Yuuri shouted.
"Hurry and get Gizela!" Guinter ordered.
Wolfram was terrified at what he saw, he killed his brother, his Anuie. What did he do?! How could he have harmed his brother?! How could he?! Wolfram ran back to the
castle.
"Wolfram!" Andrew shouted and ran after him.
"I'll go check on him, stay with him Shibuya" Murata instructed as he ran after Andrew and Wolfram.
"Why, Wolfram? What is going on?" Yuuri asked. Conrad carried his brother to his room and Gizela checked on him.
"How is he Gizela?" Guinter asked.
"He's in critical condition" she replied.
"But he will live right?" Yuuri asked worriedly.
"I don't know Heika." Meanwhile in Wolfram's room...
"I killed him! I killed him! I might as well kill myself!" Wolfram shouted getting his pocket knife.
"Don't say that Wolfram! And he's not dead!" Andrew said trying to calm his friend down and he threw the pocket knife aside.
"It would be better if you calm down.I told you it would happen" Murata said.
"I know! I'll leave now before I hurt anyone else!" Wolfram cried.
"Now?! Shibuya would stop you if you tried to leave." Murata said.
"If you want to leave then in the middle of the night would be the best time. Can you wait that long?" Andrew asked.
"I think so."
"I'll go check the condition of your brother then I'll come back here to tell you."
"Thank you, Geika." Murata nodded and hurried to Gwendal's room. When he barged in...
"How is he?" Murata asked.
"He's in a critical condition Geika. And he won't be waking up soon" Guinter replied sadly.
"And how's Wolfram, Geika?" Conrad asked.
"He tried to kill himself just now" Murata replied.
"He what?!" Yuuri shouted.
"Don't worry Shibuya we were able to stop him. But I would like to request that none of you go to Wolfram's room, even you Yuuri. Now I'll go tell Wolfram how Gwendal is
doing and I'll see you all during supper." Murata said and left the room. Lady Celi was still crying because of Gwendal and the others remained quiet.
"How is he Geika? Tell me he's alright" Wolfram begged when Murata reached his room.
"He's in a critical condition and won't be waking up soon, but you don't have to worry I promise you he won't die" Murata replied.
"Thank you, Geika" Wolfram said.
"You better start packing for tonight. I'll leave you for now" Murata said and left. So they started packing, and Wolfram wrote a letter for all of them.
It was already time Wolfram, Andrew and Murata crept out of Wolfram's room making sure no one was awake as they tried to leave the palace.
"Wait, I want to see Anuie before we leave" Wolfram said.
"Very well" Murata said and led them to Gwendal's room. When they entered they saw Conrad sleeping on the floor, leaning on the glass window. Wolfram went in and looked
at his Anuie. He used his maryoku to heal him up."I'm sorry Anuie, and goodbye." Wolfram said kissed Gwendal on his forehead and left.
"Geika, please give this to Anuie" Wolfram said handing Murata the letter.
"Don't worry, I'll give it to him."
"Thank you Geika, and about that request I asked..."
"I remember. You better hurry before someone else stops you."
"Very well thank you again, Geika."
"Until we meet again, Wolfram."
"Yes until we meet again" Wolfram said and both of them rode off in the middle of the night.
