14. Whispers
By the looks of the flowers blooming beautifully anyone could tell that Spring had hit Blood Pledge Castle. The maids were cleaning like crazy, everyone was hyped up about something or another and everyone was just downright happy. Except for Wolfram. The second he woke up in the morning he felt like he was just being ignored. He ate breakfast alone, he trained alone, he even attempted to read Greta a story but she refused and quickly ran away. Everyone seemed to be whispering to each other as if keeping a big secret from him. He even caught Yuuri whispering something to Conrad before they quickly exited the scene to avoid Wolfram's anger. He was starting to get annoyed with everything around him; his horse was off limits, he wasn't allowed to leave the castle, and he couldn't talk to a single person. He also wasn't allowed to set foot in the ball room or anywhere close to it. He attempted to once, but a ton of soldiers stopped him before Gwendal showed up and made Wolfram go outside.
"This is annoying the hell out of me!" Wolfram yelled the second he was alone outside, a random soldier spotted him and instantly ran inside in the direction of the ball room. He immediately punched the tree closest to him out of anger, but stopped himself from trying to destroy anything else. He was getting sick of all the secrets and whispering that was going on around him. When he caught Greta earlier carrying a box to the ball room she just told him to wait and see.
Wolfram was a very impatient kind of guy.
It was getting close to around four o'clock in the afternoon when Yuuri randomly showed up close to where Wolfram was sitting. They both stared at the beautiful flowers in front of Wolfram before he told Wolfram to get up and follow him.
"Are you cheating on me or something?" Wolfram quickly accused as if everyone was avoiding him before Yuuri said so. "You wimp!"
"Of course not." Yuuri replied, hiding a smile as he stopped in front of the ball room and taking a hold of the doorknobs.
"Then what are you hiding from--"
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY WOLFRAM!" A cheer of applause quickly followed as everyone in the ball room shouted out to Wolfram. They could even be heard from Shinou Temple.
Wolfram literally almost went into shock at the sudden surprise that was in front of him.
"I asked Cheri-sama, Conrad, and Gwendal so I could find out when your birthday was." Yuuri explained looking sheepish in front of Wolfram, who had all his attention on him. "Happy Birthday, Wolfram." He said and went up to give Wolfram a small kiss on the cheek.
Wolfram instantly lit up in a bright red and was completely speechless as everyone cheered and clapped for the two of them.
