The Innocent Vagabond


Chapter 2: She Who is now known as Yuuri


" Amnesia? " Wolfram asked as he looked at the girl who was sitting still at the bed, looking at her surroundings.

Gisela nodded gravely, both she and Wolfram are outside the door, talking.

The moment the girl said that she didn't know who she is, Wolfram still pressed for some answers, but all she said was ' She didn't know or she had no idea. '

He liked her voice though, it was sweet, melodious, gentle and warm.

The green haired medic stared in pity at the girl. " Looking from her last night, it was no doubt that she fell from a high cliff, I was surprised she even survived, but it was obvious she hit her head pretty hard, it might've shook a part of her brain, her head is still intact thankfully, but that might be the reason why she couldn't remember anything at all. ".

" Is there any chance that she might regain it back? "

Gisela shook her head. " To be honest with you, I don't know. Only time could tell your Excellency…"

Wolfram was about to talk when they both heard hurried footsteps coming their way.

" Is she awake? " Queen Celi asked excitedly, in her arms were colorful bags, which Wolfram is sure filled with clothes and shoes.

" Well, mother… "

The blonde lady didn't wait for her son's response as she walked past them and opened the door wider in an eager fashion, startling it's occupant who was snapped out of her stillness.

" Oh, sweet girl, thank Shino you're awake! " The demon queen gushed as she dropped her bags on the floor and glided towards the girl and gently cradled the girl's small face in her manicured hands. " And what a beauty you are! I've never seen a girl like you before! Where did you come from? What kingdom where you born? Are you single or married? I'll have you know - "

" Mother! Stop it! You're scaring her! " Wolfram admonished as he gently pried his mother away from the girl. " She doesn't remember who she is, or where she came from! And please stop asking her personal questions! It's embarrassing! "

The queen stopped her gushing as she looked at the uncomfortable lass, she stared at her eyes. Deep black, all too innocent in their wake.

" Oh sweetheart, I'm so sorry if I startled you! " Lady Celi said regretfully, instead, giving the girl a hug on her huge bosom instead. " I didn't mean to scare you, I just got so excited to meet you, I mean no harm, sweet cheeks, believe me… "

The girl, thankfully relaxed.

Gisela smiled, then she heard footsteps and saw Conrart approaching the room.

" Your Excellency…" Gisela greeted.

Conrart smiled then glanced inside the room.

He was intrigued about the girl that Wolfram rescued last night, it surprised him, to be honest, that his baby brother risked his neck for someone that he barely knew.

He heard about her from Wolfram's troops, he didn't sneak a glance at her like his mother did, Gwendal wanted to look too, but Gunter stopped him from living as they both need to talk about some political issues concerning the kingdom.

He can't help but grin as he watched their mother showing dress after dress to an innocent, looking girl, and Wolfram trying to chastise their beloved mother.

He then stared at the guest in question, before he went out to check who their foreign guest is, Gwendal ordered him to take note of the appearance of the girl and scrutinize her so that they can do a search party and find out who she is.

But even he was shocked by the appearance of the girl. He had been to many lands, and travelled into many places, seen many creatures, humans, demons, half monsters, animals, but he never saw a girl that looked like her before.

Her hair and her eyes are a standout, black color is something that is so rare, it was almost non existent, no person possess that color, the darkest hue of hair was dark grey which Gwendal's family do posses, as well as their Uncle Stoffel's right hand man, Raven. But not as pure black such as this girl, not only her hair but her eyes too, the only one that they knew who is a double black is their ancient sage, who died 4,000 years ago.

He then looked at her, checking what kind of person she is. No, she was too small, too fragile, and too innocent to be a spy, and despite her black eyes, he can see the naivety… and kindness… and gentleness in those orbs, their mother is right, there is no way this girl can be an enemy or a spy…

A rare maiden…

He glanced at her, one look and he knew she wasn't human, no human could look this beautiful.

He then looked at his brother, who was trying to stop their mother from making the girl queasy, yet he noticed those green eyes sparkling when he looked at the double black…

Oh… now he get it…

" So, who is She? " Conrart asked Gisela.

The green haired medic shook her head. " She doesn't remember anything… nor knew who she is, Lord Wolfram brought her to me with her head bleeding profusely, it looked like she was hit pretty hard… or fell pretty hard, that… might be the reason why… but I have to say, it's my first time seeing a girl like her. "

Conrart nodded in agreement then walked inside the room.

The girl panicked at his sudden appearance as she immediately released herself from the blonde queen and huddled at the other side of the bed.

" Little big brother! " Wolfram scolded as he went to the other side of the bed in a snap and hugged her, which calmed the girl. " Don't appear out of nowhere like that again! You're going to scare her away! "

He then caressed her hair "Shh… It's alright, he won't hurt you…" He soothed, and to his surprise, the girl hugged him in return.

" Oh, Wolfy! " Queen Celi sighed dreamily. " I really should plan a wedding soon! "

Conrart looked at his youngest brother amused. " No need to be so protective, Wolfram, I just wanted to ask her some questions. "

" She doesn't remember anything at all. " He replied. " I doubt you can ask her anything. "

Conrart smiled. " So what are you going to call her? We can't address her forever as 'She, lass, or guest'. If she doesn't know her name, then maybe we should name her. We could at least give her that. "

" I found her, so I'll name her myself! " Wolfram declared.

Wolfram then bent his head, and she stared at him with her big, black eyes.

" How about some flowery themed names? " Queen Celi recommended. " She's a girl so we should name her as such…"

The fire mage nodded, but on second thought, Petal, Rose, Belle, Amaranthine doesn't seem to suit her.

He saw her then look past him, and she saw that she was looking at their calendar.

It's the Yuuri month today… well, actually, the Yuuri month should be summer, but it's coming close to the end…

He then looked at his charge, it was unconventional, but he felt like it will suit her...

Conrart smiled as if reading his mind. " I think we should call her Yuuri, that's the month you found her… and I believe it suits her…"

Wolfram frowned. A little bit pissed that his brother had to name her first, but his charge's eyes then turned to Conrart, and a smile appeared on her lips which made Wolfram blush.

Slowly, she released herself from Wolfram's hold and faced Conrart. " I think that name is beautiful…" She said gently.

Conrart smiled back and Lady Celi clasped her hands.

" Alright then! From now on, we'll call you Yuuri! And as the Demon Queen, I welcome you to the Great Demon Kingdom! " She announced proudly.

The girl who was now named Yuuri smiled bigger.

" Yes…" She thought. " Yuuri is a beautiful name for her…"


Thank you for reading!

I wanted to keep Conrart as Yuu chan's godfather, even though he didn't deliver his soul in this fic.

I'll appreciate all reviews!
