A/N Hello from planet Me! Before anyone gets confuzzled, let me clarify that as far as this story is concerned, nothing of Season three happened after Episode 4. So, the last real meeting of Yuuri and Waltorana is the one in that part.

Disclaimer: The rights to Kyou kara maou are nowhere near planet Me. Not even its moons. (Yesh, I have moons. I'm so cool. One of them is pink, by the way. XD)

The Prince Consort Tales Chapter 2

The Throne Room in Danger

Yuuri's eyes widened, and he straightened suddenly, causing the stacks of paper around him to rustle slightly. "Wolfram! I just realised!"

Wolfram rolled his eyes."Don't hyperventilate, wimp."

Ever the obedient fiance, Yuuri inhaled deeply, then continued. "But Wolfram, I've never met any of your father's family!"

"Your Majesty, I think you have met Lord Waltorana."

Yuuri shuddered, obviously reminded of the last time they had met. "Conrad, don't remind me of that. It was years ago." It was true, Yuuri had carefully avoided Waltorana since he 'tested his loyalty' by pitting Wolfram against him in a duel to death. Not the sort of thing you remembered fondly.

"I can't marry you without meeting my in-laws, Wolf, it simply isn't proper."

Wolfram looked ticked at this. "What's wrong with just my mother and brothers, you wimp?"

Unfortunately for him, Yuuri wasn't listening. "And we have to invite them to the wedding, too," he said, pausing for a moment, and asking incredulously, "You weren't planning on getting married without your relatives there, were you, Wolfram?"

"Well, yeah! Why not?"

"Wolfram!" Gwendal was apalled."Waltorana would start a war!"

Wolfram, following Yuuri's excellent example, ignored him. "...And I suppose you'll be inviting everyone you know from Japan, huh? Any girlfriends I should know about? I can't believe you'd do this to me!"

"Wolfram! I swear, only Mom, Dad and Sho-chan from my side, really!"

"Call me Onii-chan, Yuuri." This caught Yuuri unawares, busy fending off Wolfram's fireballs with wild jets of water and generally ruining Gwendal's peace of mind. He froze for a moment, turned his head toward the door and then returned to his usual state -

He freaked.

"Whaaaaaaat? Shori? What're you doing here? Mom, Dad, you guys, too?"

Shori glowered a little more at Yuuri's disobedience, as Jennifer and Shouma stepped into the room. Jennifer smiled around at everybody, leaving Shouma to shake hands with Gwendal and Conrad.

"Actually, Yuu-chan, Bob-san sent us here. He said you had some news for us and smiled all strangely." she said. And then, as an afterthought, "Didn't I tell you to call me mama?"

The door opened behind her again. "Mama-chan!" As if on cue, Murata skipped in, rather upsetting Shinou's precarious balance on his shoulder.(If you strained your ears, you might have heard him muttering furiously about how unfittingly Daikenja was behaving. Seriously. Skipping.)

"Ken-chan!" she squealed, hugging him briefly, much to Shinou's indignance.

They parted, Murata's eyes searching Gwendal's face. Gwendal shook his head, indicating a no, not yet. Fortunately, Shouma remembered why they were there. "You wanted to tell us something, Yuuri?"

"Oh. Yeah." Yuuri smiled nervously, biting his lip. "Mom, Dad, Sho-Onii-chan, we - I mean, Wolfram and I, are getting married."

Jennifer blinked.

"Uh, Shibuya? I think mama-chan's in shock..."

Shouma glanced at Shori, then smiled. Hugely. "Congratulations, you two!"

Conrart caught the worried glance. "Shori?"he prompted. Shori remained mute but (thankfully) nodded his approval.

Jennifer, meanwhile, realised her son was getting married. "Yuu-chan! Wol-chan! Oh, this is so amazing! I can't wait to start making curry for the wedding!We're going to need lots and lots of vegetables! Oh, oh, this is so much fun!" she punched the air in happiness and looked at Shori, suddenly annoyed. "Sho-chan, why do you look like you just swallowed a sock? You be a bit more happy for your little brother.

"Now, where's Lady Celi?"

Gwendal, Conrart and Wolfram, all completely baffled at Jennifer's outburst, looked at Shouma. He shrugged, smiled again and hugged Wolfram. "Now, Yuuri, don't you ever hurt my son, okay?" He let Wolfram go when he felt his face grow hot, and he saw Yuuri roll his eyes. "Haha, Dad, very funny." (A/N. Yuuri - Secretly relieved). Wolfram crept back to Yuuri's side, face well hidden.

"Hey! I asked where Lady Celi is!"

Conrart blinked at Gwendal. "Oh, good point. I haven't seen her at all today. Gwendal?"

"I don't know either. Well, what Mother does is her own business-"

"I think I saw her in the Throne Room on my way here," Murata cut in helpfully.

"Oh." Three pairs of eyes widened simultaneously. "MOTHER'S IN THE THRONE ROOM!!!"
