Yuri was again stuck in his office, he sighed upon seeing the piles of paper he needed to sign. Practically, he made Wolfram upset again. He didn't really get why Wolfram would consider plain talking into flirting. He just talked to the maids about Greta's favorite desert. When Wolfram saw him talking to them, he became furious and he was again accused of being a cheater.
He tried his best to open his sleepy eyes. He didn't get much sleep last night since Wolfram locked him out of their room. Much to his dismay he slept in his office and ended up having a neck and back pain. Breakfast was difficult in addition Wolfram ignored him. The blonde talked to everybody, except him.
A sudden knock interrupted his deep thoughts. "You may come in" the young Maou replied casually. A soldier came in carrying letters. "These are for you, Your Majesty," he said and placed the letters on Yuri's table.
"Thank You" he said as the soldier saluted and took his leave. Instead of having people to come in his office they decided to use the 'mailing' method. He yawned and opened the first letter.
To His Most Exalted Majesty 14th Day of the Fourth Moon Sire, I'm very sorry to bother you, Your Majesty, but I need your wisdom very badly. There's this... gentleman. His name is Dane Keen, and he is a stage actor in the village square. He plays... you, in re-enactments about your battle with Soushu. I've met him once but like you, he is very kind to everyone, and treats everyone with the same courtesy and good-naturedness. I'm no Beautiful Wolfram, but I think I'll be the best wife for him. Can you please tell me what catches your eye? In specific, can you please tell me what you liked about Lord Wolfram that you asked him to marry you right away? I'm asking Your Majesty because Dane looks up to you and you are his role model. Actually, Your Majesty, you are a role model to all the young men, and we are all so much better off for it. The number of decent fellows to marry has gone up exponentially since you ascended the throne because they all want to be as kind-hearted and generous as Your Highness. There are plenty of choices out there now, but I just want this one man. Please help me, Your Majesty. I want to have the same happiness you have with Lord Wolfram. You have made our lives so much better for us and there's really nothing I can want as a citizen that Your Office hasn't given us, but can you please help me with my problem? Thank you so very much, Your Highness! May Shinou keep you! - Sharon Tanneker

Yuri was astounded, most of the time he was scolded by Wolfram for being naïve and wimpy. He didn't even know that there are actually plays in his own country re- enacting his battle with Soushu. It really proves that he is clueless about a lot of things.
The sender was asking for his advice in love. He knows that he isn't a love expert. Maybe it would be better if Cheri-sama answered the letter. No way! This is his job. Yuri massaged his temples and began replying to the letter.
Dear Miss Sharon Tanneker,
Don't worry! You're not actually bothering me, this is my job as a good king. So, you're attracted to a guy named Dane Keen (hmmm a play re- enacting my battle with Soushu sounds interesting) he's also good- natured and generous, no wonder you liked him. You also said that the number of decent guys increased since I ascended to the throne, I'm happy for all of the women out there. As far as I'm concerned I'm not an expert in love. Wolf would usually call me a wimpy cheater... and he would always complain about how dense I am when it comes to these things. You don't need to be beautiful to be loved by someone, that's what I think.
Hmmm… What catches my eye? A woman… (Wolf would really kill me if he reads this) okay man/woman as long as he/she trusts and believes in me. Maybe somebody who I can share stories with… and… also somebody who is really willing to be with me. (Does it sound like Wolf? I hope it doesn't) It's embarrassing really, but our engagement was an accident. Well, putting aside the engagement, Wolf's really a nice guy although he is a brat sometimes but that's only the façade. Now, he turned into a kind and responsible guy.
About the role model thingy, if he's a lot like me. I hope he didn't have my denseness. Wolf would freak out when he finds out that my wimpiness (include denseness) is contagious (I can hear Wolf calling me a wimp). I do think that all you need to do is to be yourself in front of him. Try to know his likes and talk to him. Even though the guy is dense it doesn't mean that he didn't notice you at all (I admit that there are times that I find Wolf really cute).
Good luck with your love life!
Sincerely,
Shibuya Yuri Harajuku Furi

He checked the contents of his reply and placed the letter to his right side. Really, if Wolfram reads his reply he would be burnt into crisp by now. Maybe she and Wolfram are in the same shoes. They wouldn't know if they're special if the person they like treat everybody equally. "I really need to settle things with Wolf" he absent- mindedly said. The double black opened the next letter.
To His Majesty the 27th Demon King Shibuya Yuri Harajuku Fuuri, When will we be expecting the marriage ceremony between you and Lord Wolfram von Biefield? We hope to attend it and witness the joyous occasion. Further more we would like to know when will be the day Lord Gwendal von Voltaire and Sir Conrad Weller would be engaged? Do you have any idea what their types are or do they have any love interest at the moment? Oh! and please tell Lady Anissina von Karbelnikoff to lay low on the inventions a little bit. Some of the explosions noises reaches and kinda disturbs the silence. Good luck with Lord von Biefield and Thank you for your time,

Did he just read it right? Somebody's complaining about Anissina's inventions/ explosions. Yuri couldn't help but to be amused, anyway Gwendal would be delighted to help. Now he has the ultimate reason to cast off Anissina and her crazy inventions. The question about his and Wolfram's wedding shakened him a little bit.
"T-they're r-really e-expecting m-me to m-marry Wolf?!" he exclaimed. He almost banged his head on the table. He and Wolfram aren't even in good terms right now. He inhaled deeply and composed his reply.
Dear Miss Lilgurlanima,
I don't think Wolf and I would be married… although I'm pretty sure that Cheri- sama and my mom wouldn't mind to be in charge of the wedding plans. He's a guy (although he has an angelic face and cute too), it's a taboo relationship back on earth. I'm really sorry to disappoint you but I don't think I'm even ready to be married yet (As much as possible I want to avoid Wolfram dragging me towards the altar). I'm only sixteen and marriage is just way too mature for me to think.
About Conrad and Gwendal's love life. I'm pretty clueless! I can't even imagine Gwendal dating a woman or a man (should really ask Gunter about it)… maybe if the woman resembles a bear bee or a sand bear it could be possible. He's very serious and committed to military work, he doesn't have the time for dating. I think he likes women who reveal their 'cute' side. That's just a wild guess, if Gwendal reads this I'd be six feet under the ground. Conrad? Even though he's my nazukeoya, I don't really talk things like love whenever I'm with him. Maybe somebody diligent and responsible would be his type.
About Anissina- san's inventions, most of the time they're troublesome right? I understand your feelings about the explosions. I will talk to Gwendal about this situation. I know he will be very delighted to discover that some people complain about the explosions that break silence. We never voiced out our complains in front of Anissina- san, she'd be really angry… if she does, I have the feeling that Blood Pledge Castle would turn into historic ruins! Just the thought of it makes me shiver. Anyway, don't be surprised if Gwendal summons you here at the castle for further details about the explosions.
Sincerely,

'Did I just admit that Wolf is cute?' he thought to himself while mentally slapping his forehead. 'Come on, I don't like Wolf!" he thought firmly with clenched fists.
'Maybe a little…' he flushed. Is this the effect of having lack of sleep? He thought that maybe his brain was whacked due to the body pain he is currently experiencing. He really misses the blonde's company. Maybe he pushed Wolfram off his limit this time. He needed to apologize; he decided to do it after dinner. He proceeded to read the next letter.
To His Majesty Shibuya Yuri
You've been engaged to Lord Wolfram von Bielefeld for quite a long time right? Why is there a delay in your marriage? How long will you make us wait for your wedding? Honestly, I do think that both of you suit each other. Lord von Bielefeld's emerald orbs and blonde locks look gorgeous. His skin that resembles porcelain and his smooth curved lips makes anybody stunned. Definitely, men and women are all after him. While on the other hand, Your Majesty have gorgeous black orbs and hair. Your Majesty's kindness and fair judgment also makes many people adore you either human or mazoku.
I'm just curious about Your Majesty's homeworld. Earth? Isn't it? I heard from His Highness, the Great Sage that people in your world do not have Maryoku. He mentioned something about scithence and teklokogy… something like that. Do you think that there's something more between the relationship of the Great Sage and the Original King?
We don't have any problems in our village. I want to thank Your Majesty for the peace we are experiencing lately. It really feels different to mingle with humans and listen to their interesting stories. I thought that I won't be able to relate with them because of cultural differences. Guess I was wrong!
Thank You Your Majesty!
-Athena
Another letter asking about His and Wolfram's marriage, he felt like having a severe headache. Just a few minutes it will already be dinner. Yuri decided to reply to it before anybody enters his office. He sighed deeply and grabbed the quill and ink.
"Does Wolf really look that gorgeous?" he asked himself, quite amused. He did adore the blonde locks and emerald orbs of the bishounen. Yuri blushed, 'This can't be happening!' he mentally panicked.
Dear Miss Athena,
First, thank you for your kind words. It actually flattered me. I know that black eyes and black hair are rare in this world. Yeah, I agree that Wolf is really an attractive mazoku. If you just subtract his hot temper, I'm sure he is already married before I even became the Maou. About the delay of marriage… we aren't even planning to be married! Where did you guys get the idea anyway? Wolfram's a boy! Although he looks like a girl… oh well, it doesn't matter.
It's actually science and technology. You're friends with Murata, better be careful of him… he's such a skirt chaser. Yes, mazoku on earth do not have maryoku, except for the earth's current Maou. Shinou and Murata? As much as I'm concerned there are a lot of times that Murata wants to strangle Shinou for being a total flicker. Anyway, I do not know if they have any 'personal' business with each other. Hell, I don't even want to know.
You're welcome! I have the same view! I also think that humans also have interesting stories, our differences won't matter as long as we understand each other.
Sincerely,
Shibuya Yuri Harajuku Furi

He just finished reading and replying to the letters that arrived. The young Maou decided to take a short break, his headache was worse. He just hoped that tonight he could have a peaceful sleep, without Wolfram locking him out of the room. "Maybe I should start to know Wolfram, little by little…" he mumbled.
He didn't really expect that his people expects his and Wolfram's marriage. He came up with the decision to be nicer to Wolfram and to stop doing things that he would consider as 'flirting' and 'cheating'. His thoughts were interrupted when he heard a knock. "Come in"
"Your Majesty, it's time for dinner." Conrad said with a smile.
"It's Yuri, nazukeoya" the young Maou replied as usual.
"Yes, Yuri…"
OWARI!
Phew! Finally the first batch was done! I hope others would also send letters. I admit that my writing style and grammar isn't that good. I don't even know if I made Yuri's reply a bit OOC…
Anyway, I'll be waiting for your letters.
