Chapter Three: The Price of Life
It has been a week since His Highness did the 'procedure' or as he called 'Cure of Inara'. But still no one is allowed to see His Majesty. King Yuuri still stays at Shinou Temple protected by the women guards and even the Royal Knights are not allowed to see him. It was an order directly from His Highness and Shinou-heika. With that, no one would dare to disobey. After all Shinou-heika announced that the king's life is no longer in danger and people never doubt him.
Shinou watched the Sage sleeping peacefully. He still asleep and considering the procedure he did, it is expected for him to sleep this long. And Shinou enjoyed watching him as he slumber. Shinou touched his face and he ran his fingers on his cheek. Suddenly, the Sage moaned and Shinou withdrew his hand smiling softly as the Soukoku opened his obsidian eyes. Like a child he rubbed it and when he saw his lord on his side he smiled. He reached for the side table for his glasses and put it on.
"How's Shibuya?" Murata asked.
"OH, after sleeping for a week, you asked about that boy'shealth?" Shinou said folding his arms.
"Stop being a child and tell me…" Murata scolded.
"His vital signs are stable but he is still asleep. But once he saw himself…"
"I know…"
"No one saw his except Ulrike and the priestesses" Shinou said.
"Good…"
"Shinou-heika!" Ulrike said storming in the room. She gasped when she saw that Murata is now awake and bowed. "It's good to have you back…Geika" she said.
"What's the problem…Ulrike?" Murata asked.
"Yuuri-heika is starting to wake up!"
Shinou smiled wickedly and his body become like a doll again. He transports himself into Murata's shoulder.
"Good Luck" he whispered.
Murata sighed and said "Tell the Blood Pledge Castle about the…erm…good news"
"H-hai"
"Now…how can I explain to him about what happen? He'll kill me if he found out that he's been turn into…"
"I'm sure, he'll understand…my lovely sage…"
"I hope so…"
OoOoOoOoOoOOoOoOo
"Your Excellency…a message from the Shinou Temple… His Majesty is starting to wake up!!" Dorcas said forgetting manners as he opened the door.
Gwendal who is drinking tea spat on his paperwork. Konrad immediately stood up and Wolfram's eyes widened. Running, the three siblings went to the stable s with the royal advisor, the Maou's adopted daughter and the ex-queen.
After several days, Wolfram's lips really curved a smile..
OoOoOoOoOoOOoOoOo
The young monarch shook 'his' head. It hurts like his brain had been removed and his body is numb like he's been exposed to ice for several days.
"Oi, Shibuya…are you alright?" Murata asked, now fully dressed and he sits on a chair near the bed.
"Ye…yeah" a soft voice answered. It was unfamiliar to the Maou's ears. He touched his neck and said "What happened?"
"Well…"
"YUURI!!! YOU WIMP!!!"
OoOoOoOoOoOOoOoOo
Wolfram almost jumps on his horse. His heart pounding on his chest very hard, his insides curled into thousand knots. He was excited…oh, God and relieve. He ran to the entrance, the guards didn't even stop him for they are smiling…in a strange way. He ran and ran until he reaches the room, where his fiancé is sleeping. He found the Great Sage and he yelled…
"YUURI!!!YOU WIMP!"
A very cute girl stared at him. She is sitting on the bed wearing a white nightgown with spaghetti straps. Her long black hair falls to the bed and he can't tell its length. Her fair skin was exposed on her arms and shoulders. Because of the loose nightgown some part of her cleavage are exposed. He has to admit that she is well endowed in that part. And also she was slim but not necessarily thin.
Beautiful…
Wolfram rarely saw such beauty. She's equal to his mother and…ehem... To himself. His gaze looks up to her face. Two clueless, expressive eyes of onyx eyes are framed by thick lashes. Her pink lips contrast to his fair skin. But the girl is a Soukoku…she looks oddly familiar.
"Wolfram..?" she asked, her voice soft and her gaze gentle. "Why are you looking at me like that? It's just like you saw a ghost or something…"
She went out of the bed and Wolfram's jaw's dropped and his cheeks were flamed. Her nightgown is not only loose.
IT IS THIN!!!!
Her bottle curves visible and since the gown ended on her middle legs, the creamy flesh is visible and the fact that her underwear is black doesn't help Wolfram. Her hair falls to her calf and it dances as she walks.
Then she looked at Wolfram blankly
"Say… did you wear heels…I swear you got taller"
True, the girl looked up at him for she only reaches his chest.
"Hey..Wolfram…yooho?"
The girl said waving her hands on his emerald eyes as Wolfram stared at her petrified. He gulped when he looked down and saw the girl's upper cleavage exposed to hi eyes.
"AHHH!!!" Wolfram screamed falling in the ground. If this girl takes another step…he swears his nose will start to bleed and he doesn't wish to be like Gunter in any way!
"Shibuya…can you wear at least a robe?" Murata said smiling his trademark smile and blushing too.
"Why?" the girl asked. Finally, she noticed that she's wearing a girl's nightgown.
"Why the hell am I wearing this?" she screamed.
"I'll explain later but please…?" Murata said shoving a white robe in the brunette's hand. The girl took it and put it on her body tying it on her front.
Finally, the cast arrived. They stood on the door mouths hanging open.
Second and Minutes and then hours…maybe they stared at the girl for eternity until they realize who it is… Gunter collapsed nose bleeding and Great with Cheri-sama squealed in delight. Konrad smiled knowingly and Gwendal brow's twitched.
"Now…tell me…why you are all looking at me like that?" the gentle voice asked.
"Well…just touch your chest will you?" Murata requested.
The girl did so and when her hands reached her breast. She gasped and yelled
"WHAT THE HELL IS THIS???????"
"To put it simply…in order to save your life, I sacrificed your male body and changed it into a woman's. In this way, I destroyed the poison but of course, it was a dangerous procedure, we need maryoku for even mine and Shinou's are not enough, and then blood from half mazoku since you lost quite a lot and the blood of virgin so we can turn you into a woman, then, your brother to have blood from relatives. Everyone helps a lot" Murata explained smiling.
"BUT YOU TURN ME INTO A GIRL!!!"
"Would you rather die…Yuuri-heika?" a voice asked.
Suddenly, Shinou-heika appeared on Murata's shoulder. Frowning… to hell does this boy have any gratitude? His beautiful sage just spends a week in a bed.
"What…what are you doing here..?"
"Well, Yuuri-heika…I think I have every right to come to the country I founded. But I wanted to see you in that body as well as to visit my lovely sage" he said finally smiling.
"It wouldn't do if you die all the alliance you made will be put to waste. Also, Shin Makoku has to find a successor and I will NOT pick any maou after you. Don't ask why because for heaven's sake, I spent four thousand years just to have a perfect one. So we save your life…think of the good part…now providing an heir will be easy" he explained smiling wickedly.
"That's right, Greta now has a mama and a papa…" the brown haired human said jumping up and down.
"My, for the first time I'll have a daughter-in-law and a very pretty one! Come, Greta, I'll go prepare a dress for your Mother!"
"HAI!"
"I'm glad you're fine now…heika" Conrad said smiling and relieved as he bowed at the demon king…erm…queen.
"I'll have to talk to many people now that we have a female maou but I'm sure they'll understand" Gwendal said exiting the room and his younger brother followed.
"Shall we go too? My beautiful Sage…?" Shinou smiled.
"For heaven's sake…I'm not a girl…" Murata sighed but he is smiling.
They leave the room to the two…urm couple.
They stared at each other, Wolfram on the floor looking up to his fiancée.
"THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING!!!!" Yuuri yelled.
Wolfram didn't know how to react… Was he glad?
"He-Hennachoko!" The blonde soldier finally said standing up.
"Just be happy you're alive. Do you know how worried I was? God, Yuuri don't scare me like that again!" he said haughtily.
Yuuri blinked as he remembered the dream…Is Wolfram the reason he came back and choose to face the pain rather than to run away? Looking now at Wolfram…his heart beats very fast, his insides form a very tight knot and he noticed that despite his girlish face…Wolfram is very…gorgeous.
Yuuri looked down blushing
This is bad now I'm feeling something that only girls are supposed to feel for Wolfram……
"Yuuri…after this…I…I'll…" Wolfram stuttered.
Yuuri looked up and smiled…even his goofy smiled change…it is now gentle like her voice and he said "I'm glad I can see you again Wolfram…"
This time Wolfram blushed… and said "Hennachoko, you're my fiancée…I'll follow you where ever you go!" Even if it's hell…
He realized now…he have to throw or burn his pink nightgown. Finally…he can now wear pajamas. The only problem is if Yuuri wears a nightgown like that, God…he may not be able to resist…
OoOoOoOoOoOOoOoOo
