Chapter Three

- Wolfram's Breakdown and Yuuri's Promise –

Von Bielefield's Land

Wolfram cannot wait to return in Shin Makoku to see Yuuri, his fiancé and his King. He has to scout and to assess the land of Bielefield and report it to the council of aristocrats. Wolfram can't help think that he's lucky that everything has gone alright, no hidden conspiracy against the Maou-Heika and no coup being concocted by his relatives due to the half-Mazoku of the present Maou-Heika. So he can return to Shin Makoku with ease.

He's been within von Bielefield's land for a month due to his responsibilities of being a member of Von Bielefield that he has neglected since becoming the Maou's fiancé. A month of reprieve from the unrequited love he is suffering from. He hopes in his return that he can finally have the closure that he needed to end this ache in his heart.

He could recall the last conversation he has with his King that gives hope to his unrequited love.

Before Yuuri left, he asked me of what I feel about this engagement and what I feel about him..

-Flashback-

- Wolfram -

"Wolf, could I talk to you for a moment?" Yuuri asked before he laid himself in the bed. I am annoyed by his fidgeting. .

"What is it, wimp?" I replied and I could hear the irritation in his voice.

"Don't call me a wimp!" the usual response to my insults or should I say my endearments.

Honestly how can I have more than friendly feelings for this guy. Do I have a low standard? I thought to myself.

"So talk, wimp. Don't just sit there and think about whatever goes in your wimpy brain." Trying to hold to the last of my energy and patience.

Yuuri breathe in a lot of air and fire a way the question: "Wolfram, do you love me as more than a friend?" He said hurriedly.

"You're not only a wimp but also an idiot, a wimpy idiot! Damn you, Yuuri! Are you really that dense!? Everyone knows in Shin Makoku that I love you! As everybody also knows how I tried to seduce you, and fail at it, wimp!"

Yuuri blinked repeatedly and stare at him similarly examining a new specimen for him to study and when his brain functions normally and register to his slow mind of what I have said.

"I love you" and "Seduce you".

I know that those are the words that fly inside his brain, and could only repeat in his processing and after a while his response department finally comes up of something. And it clearly shows as he falls out of the bed and hit his butt in the floor due to impact.

"So you love me? Really love me?"

"Are you not only a wimpy idiot but also deaf? Yes, I love you! Is that difficult to comprehend?! Love you as I want you to be my lover!? You get it!?"

"Okay, Wolfram. Don't throw a fireball at me, please!" Yuuri beg.

"Why didn't you just say so to my face?" Really, he is an idiot. He chooses to ask him that question. Oh no, he could help his blood towards his cheeks and its an angry flush.

"Because every time that I give signals that there is something more, you just don't get it. And after giving so much clues or signals and you still don't get it. I give up. If you don't get it then it means that there you don't think me of much more than a friend!"

Yuuri take a deep breath, encouraging himself.

"Let's stop this talk of nonsense, wimp. I'm tired and I want to sleep." I said trying to avoid going deeper to the subject of their talk and arranged his pillow for a comfortable position.

"Wait, Wolf. What if I tell you that I feel something for you that are more than just friend?" Yuuri said it so fast that he need to take another deep breath.

"I don't need your sympathy, wimp!" with that sentence he cannot help himself with his reaction. He suddenly sits up facing Yuuri and grips a handful of my nightgown, to restrain his self to strangle him. .

"No! It's not sympathy, Wolf. I really do have feelings for you, and I just realize it when we have spent more of time without each other I longed for your company. But, I'm not sure yet of my feelings for you, so please give me time to analyze what I feel for you, please." I know that my eyes are verge on tears, here his fiancé, his King pleading for Wolfram to understand his feelings and I could sense his sincerity.

I look into his eyes, after a while I nodded to him and Yuuri impulsively hugged me and promised me: "When you return, I will know what are my feelings for you, so please wait for me!"

"Thank you, Yuuri. At least I have now hope that you feel something for me that is much more than a friend. Let's sleep, Yuuri. We have a long day tomorrow." As we lie down and close our eyes, I give into my desire and wound my arms around him, embracing him tightly and not letting him go and he fall asleep with treasured hope.

-End of Flashback-

Wolfram was startled out of his reminiscing when his Uncle Waltarona, the head of von Bielefied family enter his study and immediately let in a messenger from the Blood Pledge Castle.

"Wolfram, it seems there is trouble within Blood Pledge Castle involving with the Maou."

At that statement he immediately gave his attention to the messenger. As he recognizes the messenger, one of Gwendal's fastest messenger and trusted.

"What is your message from the Blood Pledge Castle?" he asked calmly but inside he is full of tension. This situation reminds him of the time when Yuuri is thought to never return to Shin Makoku and him a candidate to be the replacement.

"Lord von Bielefield, I am not sure if you are privy of such message. Forgive me, but I cannot easily disclose it to you." The messenger hesitantly said trying not to sound disrespectful.

"Only Lord Waltarona von Bielefield can hear this message as the regent demanded. Forgive me, my lord."

'Regent? What the hell, Gwendal never uses his title even when Yuuri is out of this world. What is happening? What is the emergency?'

He could only think of a war or something happen to Yuuri.

"Gwendal is regent, and only when the Maou is not present. What is your message?!" he demanded.

"I am the Maou's fiancé., the soon to be prince consort I have more power than the regent. I command you to tell me."

Uncle Waltarona just sits there calmly like an audience, observing my reaction to this information.

The messenger tried to dissuade Wolfram again.

"Please understand, my lord."

"No! I want the message now!"

His Uncle Waltarona steps in.

"You may start the message now, as I will not hear it without the presence of my nephew."

The messenger sigh, he observes both von Bielefield and he can see that they would not budge even if he begs them knees down.

"My lords, especially you Lord Wolfram please calm yourself and take a seat as this news will affect you the most."

He waited for the young lord to make himself comfortable in his sit hoping that he would not lose his job for such insubordination.

The messenger started, "All head of aristocracy must come to Blood Pledge Castle immediately as some terrible tidings befalls us. We must unite as trouble is coming. The Maou-Heika is missing for a month. The Maou-Heika is capture and his status is unknown. That is the message."

"No, Yuuri." Wolfram feels the despair.

'Yuuri has been missing for a month, and he sits here enjoying the peace.'

"I must return to Blood Pledge Castle, immediately!"

Author's Note: Hope you like it.

I really want to write this chapter as Wolfram's Betrayal, the plot is like Teach Me Sadness and Pain, and the Last Breath. But it didn't go that way!

And please review, your ideas are welcome. By the way, I do not have a BetaReader, can anyone offer me one because I know my grammar sucks!

Give me another congratulations because this is the longest chapter I have so far, haha. What a big improvement don't you think so? Inspiration struck me, so I welcome you and keep coming to me.

Please Review!
