Chapter 4: Conrad and the Truth!
As the demon king's scream resonated through the castle a repeatedly continued thumping on the floor could be heard as it indicated the running of several feet as they headed in the direction of the demon king's bedroom chamber. Together with the thumping came a voice that could be easily recognized, as its high peak reached all corners of the castle.
"What the hell was all that noise for!" screamed Lady Cheri as she open the doors to the Royal Chamber in a fury from being awaken at such holy hour in the morning. Though as she threw them open she came face to face with the most hilarious scene she had ever faced.
There on the tile floor of the bedroom sat Yuri with eyes wide open and a face as red as a tomatoes as he looked up at his bed. And if that wasn't the most comical, then it was the fact that Wolfram sat on the bed with a somewhat smug look on her face and her pink frilly nightgown up to her thighs while looking over the edge of the bed down at Yuri.
"Yuri! Are you okay?" asked Wolfram as she continued to examine her fiancé for injuries with her blue eyes.
Oh what a look both had and what a look both now possess as they finally notice the peanut gallery standing at their doors; ''Oh how priceless!'' thought Cheri as she smile to herself. For nothing could be more priceless than the look both of them had at finally understanding their situation and how worse it had just become.
"Yuri are you okay?" said Conrad, who finally seemed to break the silence that began prevailing over the demon king's chamber.
To say that everyone was unaffected was truly an understatement, for Cheri seemed to still be giggling into her hand, Gunter seemed about ready to pass out. You also had Gwendal who though he stood still and rigid in his eyes you could detect a hint of shock and maybe even amusement. All in all the residents of the castle found themselves with situation that had never before seemed so comical as it did this bright delightful morning.
"Yeah! I'm fine Conrad" stated Yuri, though it seemed that he was trying to convince himself more than he was reassuring Conrad.
As Yuri stood up from the bedroom floor, another giggle past through Cheri's lips and the audience at the door finally turned their attention to her. As their eyes fell on her, she proceeded to look at Yuri in the eye and with a dramatic flourish, she pointed at Wolfram.
"Lady Cheri is something wrong?" stated Yuri as they all turned to look at Wolfram and her still risen night gown.
And as Cheri smiled with a little bit of amusement and a lot of mischievousness in her eyes, the demon king prepare for the words he knew were coming.
"Got a little grabby, huh? Yuri"
A Few Hours Later:
After the commotion in the morning it was nice to have a little quiet around the castle, as maids moved up and down the halls with various things in their hands. It seemed every person in the castle was doing something. Cheri seemed to be enjoying her flowers in the castle garden, you could hear Gunter screaming at Yuri to please pay attention, the clash of swords as Gwendal trained the soldiers and then you had Wolfram sitting in a bench just outside the castle garden and almost to the border of said castle.
Here sat the one person that normally would be running around the castle screaming orders to the soldiers or running after the demon king for being "unfaithful", yet here sat Wolfram with her shin in her hands as she looked at the city just be on the castle gates and the busy port where the many boats of the army sat patiently at.
"There you are!" said a voice at it approach the silent and seemingly passive Wolfram.
"Hello Conrad" said Wolfram as she turned in her seat to see her brother walk up to her. And though she did not completely see his face due to the fact that the sun reflected of it, she did know the walk that he had at the moment and knew that she better pay attention for what he had to say or ask was of importance.
"So what really happen?" asked Conrad as he lowered himself to his hunches and looked Wolfram in the eye. In his eyes you could see that he was serious and that no matter how much Wolfram evaded the question, she was still going to have to answer it in the end.
"Didn't believe the story I told Yuri, huh?" said Wolfram as she turn in her seat even more and faced Conrad. She knew that hiding it from him was close to impossible but she wished that she would have had more time, for Conrad's timing was at the moment horrible.
Yes she had lied to Yuri, but who wouldn't in the kind of situation she was suddenly in. Yes she felt guilty about lying to him but she needed to keep this secret or Yuri would freak out and want to do something drastic, that she could not let it happen, but as she looked at her brother again she knew that at the very least one person in this castle should know the truth or she would freak out trying to maintain this secret, and she knew that if there was one person that she would tell all this it would be Conrad for he understood her and certainly would not judge her.
"Yes there was a woman that did this to me, and yes she did have Mazoku powers" stated Wolfram as she then continue with…"But I asked her for this, she did not do this to me on her own accord."
As Wolfram finish this statement she looked at Conrad and knew he wasn't judging her own blaming her for anything, though in his eyes you could see that he was asking for more than a run through, that what he truly wanted was a reason for Wolfram having permitted this to happen when she knew the outcome. She knew that Conrad needed that reason and so she took a deep breath and said the words that she had never said to anyone in the course of Yuri's engagement to her.
"He wouldn't love me if I wasn't like this, is just not him, and for him I would do anything if he just asked me." Said Wolfram as she let out a breath that she did not know she was holding.
"But Wolfram isn't this a little too much?" asked Conrad as he looked at what was now his sister. And as these words were out of his mouth Wolfram raised her head, looked him in the eye and stated a set of words that he would have never expected from Wolfram.
"For him Conrad, I'm willing to be someone else if that is what it takes!"
AN: Well how was that? I hope you guys loved it and I hope that this time I'm not as late to update as I was this time. I loved writing this chapter and I had a great time writing the bedroom scene because it was hilarious. I have to admit the end of this chapter did not come easily but once it came I thought it was totally worth it; do please tell me your reaction to it. Anyways the next chapter may contain something along the lines of...
"But daddy Yuri, that is not Papa Wolfram!" stated Greta as she came into the room and looked at the young blond, blue eyed woman sitting in one of the chairs."Greta yes she is Papa Wolfram, just a little different" stated Yuri as he began to see not only the nervous look in Wolfram but the confuse one in Greta too."Daddy Yuri, how different?" stated the adorable young girl, and as those words past her lips and she looked at the both of them, the only thing they both could think was "Crap!"
