Note: Sorry it took a while… I caught a cold and need to rest… That's why this chapter is sooo short…
Thanks to all of you who reviewed and put this story in your alert :)
Anyway I just realized that I put the wrong genre. I already fixed it.
Btw this story won't be long… Maybe only 3 or 4 chapters.

CHAPTER I
"Wolfram! Where is my tea?!" screamed Lady Peril with her high-pitched voice from the second storey.
"C-Coming, Lady Peril!" Wolfram rushed from the kitchen bearing a silver tray. "Here you go, Lady Peril."
Lady Peril glared at the young blond boy. "Where did you get that?" She pointed at a blue pendant that Wolfram wore.
Wolfram held the pendant tightly in his hand. "A… A f-friend gave it to me…"
"Friend?"
"Mother, I think that pendant is just a worthless junk from those low class people in town." said a guy who just entered the room. He is Lady Peril's eldest son, Gwendal. Wolfram never dared to look straight to his eyes.
Lady Peril raised her eyebrow. "Is that so? Well, worthless junk suits you." She said with a mocking tone.
"Mother, have you heard about the ball?" said Lady Peril's second son, Conrad. "Wouldn't it be wonderful if one of was chosen as the prince's bride?"
"Why, of course dear! His Highness will surely choose one of you!"
Lady Peril turned to Wolfram who was just about to say something. "What? You think you deserve to be the prince's bride?"
"Lady Peril, please… Can I go to the ball too?"
Lady Peril and her sons laughed. "Only the nobles are invited. As far as I know, you are now a maid. Not a noble." said Gwendal.
"And don't ever think that I would give you any decent clothes for the ball." said Lady Peril sharply.
They kept laughing when Wolfram ran out of the room and headed straight to the hazel tree. He sat under it and cried.
He looked at the blue pendant that he constantly held tight. He smiled, as if the pendant eased away all of his sadness. He closed his eyes and remembered how he got that beautiful pendant.
Flashback
"You're a noble?! I'm so sorry for my rudeness-"
"I'm not a noble anymore." Wolfram cut. "My parents died and now Lady Peril treats me as her maid."
Yuuri could hear the bitterness in Wolfram's voice and saw sadness in Wolfram's green eyes. Yuuri patted his back and said, "I'm sorry, you must feel lonely."
Wolfram didn't say anything. However, he felt at ease when Yuuri said that. "Thanks." He muttered.
"Here, you can have this." Yuuri handed a blue pendant with a shape of a teardrop to Wolfram. "If you feel lonely, this pendant will remind you that you still have a friend."
End of Flashback
"Yuuri… Thank you." Wolfram wiped his tears and drew a long breath.
