There's no yesterday, no today
On top of the faraway ocean
Without a sound, the blue night falls
.
My heart that floats on the waves
Waits for you who will return through the sea
.
The road that told me the stories of starlight
The time has come that it will spread like a dream
.
Because my heart can't reach you
The blue waves that wash over
And your tears that are watching
Even your breath that's far away
Fades away like a stain
Like the hidden sad story of the ocean

Shin Makoku
.
.
.
The mist of Shin Makoku… slowly descends as the light of the new day emerge from the horizon…
The early morning dew made a sweet gentle touch to the leaves and flowers of Shinou's Beautiful Land.
The morning sun, liken to Shinou's hair, bright yellow gold – signifying warmth, happiness, sunshine – slowly rises making a sweet tender touch with the forest. Giving vibrant colors of Earth Brown - the marking of nature's bounty, of warmth earth, of classicism… the old trees giving the hues of live green… of growth, of health… of youth… of hope… and life to all living things in Shin Makoku.
The early birds chirp happily – as the day gave a sign of peace, tranquility and bliss.
The clouds made a beautiful parting – as if with her white pure wings – she covers the land with her purity, so that the day will be nothing less but grand and serene.
And that early morning – two beautiful souls… are talking… softly to not disturb the others or for them to be left alone…
'Hmmm… it seems that they all are excited, right My Sage?' Shinou asked the Double Black Sage before him. Shinou looked at his beloved Sage. Too beautiful for words. Shinou smiles. The years had been so kind to the Great Sage – he had grown into a stunning and handsome man.
Murata gave out a sigh in between weariness and enthusiast, as he leans on the railings of the balcony. They are both looking at the water mirror of the fountain.
The current location: Blood Pledge Castle.
Shinou turn his eyes and settle on the water mirror.
He gave out a grin – as if what he is seeing will give him so much to laugh about…
Blood Pledge Castle's people are running here and there and everywhere. All the maids are busy preparing for the arrival of so many upcoming guests. So early in the morning but all are rushing and engaged in different tasked at hand.
Amused and gaiety eyes view everything as he leans and looks at the water mirror.
'Looks like Von Christ-Kyo really prepared everything and on is scheduled with 'everything',' said Shinou with an amused voice.
'Yes. He really did,' Murata answers as he looks at the beautiful white parchment of paper at his hand. He chuckles and he cant wait for the arrival of The Special Guest.
'Well I think this was also your doing my dear. If I am not mistaken, you give all D-E-T-A-I-L-S to Von Christ-Kyo – never leaving any piece behind.'
'Of course I have. This is an important event.'
'But I do feel that amidst your weary and enthusiast there's something you are hiding to them all.'
Murata gave an innocent look and gave Shinou a mysterious smile.
Shinou laughs softly and took the parchment from the Sage and unfolds it. The beautiful cursive spending lettering is the first thing you will see and admire, what follows is the majestic way the Royal Seal of Shin Makoku gave power to the parchment – but what he was giving his mirth was the content of the parchment.
The Royal Programme as he calls it, reads:

Shinou shook his head as the list goes on.
'Hmmm, he really outdid it this time,' Murata shook his head in dry amusement, as he scans and reads the contents of the programme, so the Ten Nobles - well Nine Nobles to be exact are all in attendance. So this is why Von Christ-Kyo had pulled him in the Library and answered all those questions.
He grimaced remembering the three hours or was it four hours of meeting he had with the Lavender Advisor, now he couldn't blame Shibuya when the later keeps on running from the lessons. For the long hours, Von Christ-Kyo had asked – no – interrogate him with questions – and because he was feeling bored and tired – he did add some fuel to the fire.
Murata informs Gunter that not only Von Bielefeld-Kyo and Prince Adam will be arriving. But with the help of Bob and Shori – the whole Luxembourg family will be arriving as well. Gunter was so pleased and was so excited that he almost had a nosebleed.
Murata supplied Gunter all that is to know and the titles and what was supposed to be a simple – family dinner with guest turns into something of a historical event.
If they would ask Gunter and will point out to him, all he could say was that he wanted to welcome them in a royal manner and those people are not just ordinary folks – but of Royalty same as them.
And because of what he said a week ago…
The Ten Nobles.
The Aristocrats.
The Noble Mazoku of distant and far away countries.
Kings and Queens of the Human countries.
Half Mazoku and Half Human rulers of the land.
From Cavalcade, Caloria, Francia, Representative of the Conansia Svellera and even the enigmatic Saralegui Heika send a letter of coming to visit Shin Makoku.
They are all to attend the Grand Birthday Celebration of the Princess of Shin Makoku. Her Royal Highness Princess Greta von Bielefeld Shibuya.
But the thing is – the birthday invites didn't include the known personalities. All Gunter invited were the close friends and family – but when the word that The Royal Ambassador His Excellency Wolfram von Bielefeld will arrive together with the Great Great 16th century down – Grandson of the Soukoku no Daikenja – words of visits, of celebrations and all bombarded Gunter and Gwendal.
Of course much to Gwendal's chagrin and headache, Gunter von Christ-Kyo feels it's the most majestic event, like the gathering of Nobles of all Nobles.
And this can never be just an ordinary greetings.
Gunter with his own craft and vehemence prepares and take things in his own hand… and thus… the Gathering of the Royalties – from Earth and Shin Makoku.
The descendants of the Soukoku no Daikenja from Earth must be welcome with the highest honour and for taking such good care of their 3rd Prince.
Murata grins while Shinou was having his time laughing his ass out – rolling on the floor more like it from the recent event that happen over dinner.
He was assaulted by questions, inquiries of what, who and how by the occupants of the dining room that night. And Murata can still remember the gritting of Shibuya's teeth knowing that Wolfram wont be coming alone.
The dinner was then resolved and made a turn of events. A very excited and thrilled Von Christ-Kyo, Lady Cheri, Anissina asked him with so many questions, how is it he never tell them his lineages or his descendants for so many years. He smiles weakly to a Demon Administrator that was holding his head in another upcoming headache. An amused and quite worried and at the same time delighted Weller-Kyo holds back his Hahaue who keeps on questioning about Adam – maybe because the look in Shibuya's face isn't the usual goofy-smiling and wimpy Shibuya Yuuri.
He raised his brow at that – so what if Wolfram isn't coming alone – Lady Jasmine just have arrived so Yuuri's focus should be on his intended and not on his 'ex'.
He was amused.
Really, really amused.
If that isn't jealousy – then he doesn't know what jealousy really meant.
But he can see excitement and ecstatic expression on his friend's face. Must be because he will see his 'Angel' again.
'How is my protégé doing?'
'Hmmm… In shock? Or rather anticipating the arrival of Von Bielefeld-Kyo.'
'I see…'
The first to arrive would be Wolfram and Adam. And they can easily transport the family with the help of Adam if he's in Shin Makoku, Murata guess that his powers or Majik would intensify more if he's in the land of Shin Makoku. After all, here lies raw power.
News travel so fast – now the whole castle are in chaos and preparation. He knew that in two days time, the whole Blood Pledge Castle will be in great festivities and so many people – Kings, Queens, Princes, Princesses and so on will be celebrating with them.
But the question at hand isn't that – it's the arrival of the Demon Prince and the Prince of the Earth and their meeting with the 27th Maou of Shin Makoku.
Murata is anticipating the event. Things wont be easy if he will bet three stubborn, prideful and powerful soul in the line.
'What do you think Shinou? Five years is such a long time.'
'If we're going to believe what the Maou said – then he will stay the same. But if we're going to believe what you say – everything will not be that easy for him.'
'Yes. He will have a hard time… Rufus' descendant isn't a tame or just-give-a-flower-I'm-so-sorry kind of a person. Wolfram von Bielfeld-Kyo spits fire… literally.'
'Hmmm… all I can say is I too am quite clueless…' Shinou said to Murata but he can see the gleam and presentiment in those sapphire blue eyes.
'You are?' he raised his brow. He doesn't believe Shinou – if he did then he wouldn't be the Daikenja who lived for so long. Everything Shinou said and says has a double meaning.
'But of course – we are talking about a Bielefeld here My Sage… fiery, serious, unyielding, unrelenting and I can add when angered and 'betrayed' can be…'
'Bitterly cold, ruthless, merciless and very… very cruel…'
'Aye… I have tasted her fire… after all – I have stole you from her,' Shinou said while caressing the silk black hair of the Daikenja.
'You know. If anyone can hear you now – they will think that you have stole me from my lover and that you become my lover. You stole me because you needed my brain and help and I was your brother. I thank all the Gods that only a few can hear you – if not – my reputation will tarnish and will be stained by you.' Murata said and rolled his eyes in the process.
Shinou smiles and lean on the Daikenja… not touching but he made sure that his presence, his warmth as others may call it can be felt by the Daikenja… 'But Rufus didn't think so. She very much believe you are hers.'
'And you?' Murata raised his brow.
'Hehhh… from the day I have seen your shadow – you belong to me.' Shinou said with pride and honour.
Murata can only sigh and shook his head.
Yes. Thanks all the Gods that only a very few of ShinMa can hear Shinou – or not – they will think of something different.
He doesn't care about being involved with anyone – but not Shinou. The damn brat King knows how to manipulate knowledge and weakness and he will do something about it – not because Shinou is a bad spirit – but because Shinou is damn bored of his spirit life. He wanted to meddle much and create a little havoc every now and then.
And what will happen if the whole world would know that Shinou and him were half-brothers?
Then not only will the history will change – he will be so tired and each and everyone will drag the story out of him. He doesn't like that.
He then looks at the water mirror once again.
The armies of Voltaire, Weller and Bielefeld are all dispatch to secure the area. Some of the Ten Nobles have arrived and were ushered towards their designated room. Some have really come early – to not miss the arrival of the Royal Ambassador and the Prince of Earth and the Grand Ducal Family.
'So tell me My Pretty Sage, what did you tell your grandson to have him come here with my descendant?'
'What made you think I told him something?' the eyes behind the glasses cant be read… and Shinou knew – they held so much artful schemes.
'Hmmm… if I know that brain of yours and I do – you are planning something.'
'Yare yare… what made you think of that?'
'Let's say to cut the growing torn?'
Murata smiles… or rather smirks and shows in his rare moments – a sly and a devilish smirk. 'I just don't like unnecessary shrubs on the way – it blocks the view…'
'My my… you truly are scary when angered.'
'I just don't like anyone hurting Rufus' descendants and I do believe that you and I share this same feelings.'
'But of course… Wolfram may not be my favorite but he is special… very very special to me… and to add to that something special – you did leave something special out of their knowledge.'
'Hmmm… even the Maou doesn't know the missing three pages of the Book.'
'Yes. He didn't even or all of them even didn't bother to look for the missing pages… but it seems you want to be quiet about it… you never told them the truth why Yuuri Heika cant travel back.'
'Why should I? It will ruin someone's growth and mentality. They have after all must face everything alone. Friends, Gods… they cant save anyone… they cant save you. Only you – can save yourself. Even yourself – you cant save anyone.'
'Ah yes, the word 'freewill' and 'strength to move forward'.'
'Yes. One must reap what they sow.'
'You truly are a frightful creature my pretty Sage.'
'I just don't like people hurting what I considered mine... and I consider Wolfram and Adam - mine. They are my friend.'
'Truly scary…'
'Hmmm…'

Blood Pledge Castle
.
.
.
Blood Pledge Castle.
Magnificent.
The beautiful castle that stood atop the Shinou Mountain. A castle within a castle and within another castle.
A Castle built to stronghold the fort and protect the people inside. A Castle that gave hope and light to all the people – Mazoku or human.
It was built by Shinou Heika to house all his people.
And right now, flowers surrounds the entire Castle.
Not just your ordinary flowers but the flowers that are considered symbolical and flowers that touched people's heart so many times.
To some people flowers are just decorative living things – they grow – die and grow again, but to them Mazoku who have loved and continued to love the special flowers the 26th Maou made and breed – it's not just decorative living things. They are the source of one's warmth, happiness, strength and will to move on.
Conrart looks around and smiles at Blood Pledge Castle… the cold and old ancient Castle now looks warm, cozy, special and alive.
Secret Gwendal surrounds the balustrade's railings. The way the shy flower surrounds the balustrade are amazing – it's like a sweet wave of flowers. Every balustrade at the castle is surrounded by it.
Cecille's Red Sigh graces the balcony, the bright red color gave the cold and old balcony a sense of sensuality and passionate approached.
Conrart Stands Upon the Earth elegantly sits on the stairs. The charming and manly flower of blue makes a stunning contrast on the red carpet of the stairs.
But what will take someone's breath away was what is displayed on each of the tables: cocktail tables, the round dining tables, small side tables and refectory tables.
Beautiful Wolfram and Filled with Yuri's Naïveté.
Conrart smiles and he doesn't know who did it – but the most amazing and radiant that made the entire castle looks so bright and majestic are the entwined flowers of Beautiful Wolfram and Filled with Yuri's Naïveté.
The bright sun kissed color of Beautiful Wolfram and Filled with Yuri's Naïveté is so apparent, they prettify every table inside and outside the castle.
The bright and yellow colors welcome the person or whoever will be seated or standing on the table. The way they adorn the places truly brightens the occasion.
Both colors gave a benevolent feeling.
'Kya! Not there! Put the candles there! Dacascos! Bring the black curtain at the Grand Hall – Geika told us that's the place where Wolfram and Adam-Kaka will arrive!'
'HAI!'
Conrart smiles at the busy morning. He approaches the Lavender Advisor. 'Gunter.'
'Ah! Conrart! Sorry! What is it?' asked by the busy Mazoku. Gunter's wearing his usual uniform but his hair has been tied up with only a few strands been lay down.
'Geika told you they will arrive here? And not in Shinou Temple?' that's surprising. He thought that the arrival would be at Shinou Temple.
'Ah! Yes! I was surprised too, but Geika said that the Grand Temple's water is still connected to the Shinou Temple so it wont be any problem.'
'Hmmm… I wonder why?'
'Yes, I too wonder but this is a great opportunity for all the guest. The arrival of Wolfram and Adam-Kaka will be witnessed by everyone.' Gunter clasped his hand in great anticipation of the upcoming event.
'You mean-'
'Yes! Geika informs me that they will arrived exactly at noon and all Ten Nobles will be here by that time. And not just the Ten Nobles, all Aristocrats and everyone. I cant believe this opportunity. It's a blessing that the Grand Hall has the waterfall design. Thanks to the 4th Maou for that layout.'
'I see. Then I should hurry up and wake Heika.'
'Ah yes! Oi! You! Not there! Ahhhh!'
Conrart smiles and headed towards the Maou's Royal Bedchamber.
He was walking the corridor when he heard whispers. Soon, the whispers turn into laughter and he saw the source.
'So you're the one responsible for the flowers?' Conrart said to the two beautiful children surrounded by flowers.
Greta looks up and so is the young looking El. 'Unca Conrad!'
El smiles brightly. Greta too, with her hands full of Beautiful Wolfram.
'Hello El. Greta. Hmmm… I thought I heard a merry laughter, so you two made the flowers?'
'Aye! Greta told me that Unca Wolfram will arrive. I don't have any gifts to give Unca Wolfram so Greta told me to help her with the flower decoration.'
'I see. Princess, aren't you supposed to prepare yourself?'
'Hmmm… later Unca Conrad. It's still early and I have time. I just want to finished these.'
'Okay. I have to go now and wake Heika.'
'Oh, Daddy? He's already awake.'
'EH?'
'Yep. He's on his room though pacing like a twirl – back and forth.' With that Greta and El laugh.
Hmmm… Already awake? That's odd.
'Okay, I'll leave you two alone now. And Greta, El – the flowers are so beautiful. You really did a fine job there.'
'Thank you! Yay! We did great Greta!' El beamed so brightly, though El is nine years old – he still looks like a child of five years of age.
Conrart walks the long corridor.
Conrart thought that it is odd. Though Yuuri has no problem waking up – but it is still too early for him to wake up. For the past years since Yuuri had been active in the Administration and seeing all of Shin Makoku's welfare – he had been so exhausted. He only gets to play at the baseball field once a week or twice a month. Or sometimes he didn't even get a chance to play at all.
Though they still have their morning jogging and sword practice. He can say that Shibuya Yuuri is now good in handling Morgif. He even bested some of his men in swordsmanship.
But it's always him or Gunter who wakes Yuuri up. For being exhausted and burn out with so many things going on – he become a heavy sleeper, one who wouldn't wake up with just a nudge. You really have to shook and shout for him to wake up. Or like Wolfram's solution: Kick the hell out of the Maou.
He knocks at the door and his brow furrows. No one answers. So – is Yuuri still asleep?
He enters and what he saw amused him.
Really amused him.
Shibuya Yuuri – looks like a man whose about to attend his first date. In every sense.
Yuuri pace back and forth, fidgeting and looking so nervous and Conrart cant help it, he grins – the Maou Heika is very well dressed. Without their help – he had dressed in his formal attire. All black suits and with the matching red cape. And his grin turns into a wide smile – he knows that brooch. Those golden intricate brooch. The brooch that connects the cape is of a Golden Wings – handed down from generations to generations… from the Bielefeld House.
Yuuri looks so handsome, he keeps his hair in a slight brush up manner. Though some bangs still covers his forehead. For so many years – he did grow up and become much manlier and good looking.
He is very proud of his godson. Yuuri is like his son, and he's very delighted of what he had accomplished and is willing to do more for the sake of Shin Makoku… though a part of him still felt the sadness… his baby brother had gone to a faraway place… but he already accepts it. Wolfram belong neither here or there – he belongs to himself and what he choose to do.
'Good morning Heika.'
'Ah! Conrad! You surprised me!' Yuuri was startled when Conrart greets him.
'Sorry about that. I see that you're… dressed already.'
'Ahh-Hai! Ano… what's the time Wolf will arrive?'
'At noon Heika.'
'I see.' Yuuri again paced back and forth and it truly amused Conrart. Because for the rare time – Yuuri didn't correct him with his 'Heika'.
'Heika, should you be going with lady Jasmine now? I think I saw her going to the dining room for breakfast.'
'Huh? Why?'
Conrart paused for a moment. Did Yuuri just said 'WHY?'
'Well, for you to eat your breakfast too.'
'Ah. Nah. I did drink coffee and I don't feel like eating.'
'I see. Then you're going now on the Study room?'
'Yes!'
Conrart and Yuuri walk silently at the hallway. Conrart can only think that this is a very bizarre morning for him. The way Yuuri said: 'YES!' was like going to the study room is his salvation. He shook his head.
.
.
.
.
.
.
The room looks cold, you can tell that the occupant was someone stoic, hard, frigid… but if one will look closer – at the far corner of the shelves, hundreds of knitted objects are displayed.
One must be so great and knowledgeable to all the creatures of Shin Makoku to be able to identify each knitted objects.
But right now, the occupant of the room is slowly controlling the growing anger in his chest. But by the looks of it… the control is waning…
Gwendal's eye twitch. He pursed his lips in controlled anger. As he reads and scan the parchment, the words there… the announcements!
Angry veins pop out his head.
And slowly breathing hard. 'GUNTERRRRRRRR!' he bellowed.
The voice echoes and all nearby hears it.
Maids nearby drops whatever they are carrying. 'Kyaaa!' scared out of their wits they run.
Guards immediately as if the Devil is behind them run towards the courtyard at the other side of the Castle.
Yozak who was guarding the people in his hideout – currently at the rooftop almost slide down the roof. 'Not want to be near Gwendal-Kaka at the moment.'
Yuuri who was currently at his own study room, twitch his lips and sighs. He cant blame Gwendal – he too find it overdoing things or like blowing things out of proportion.
Conrart who was with Yuuri clasp his mouth to not let out the laugh... 'Poor Gwendal'. And excuse himself to His Majesty to find Gunter.
Anissina's eyebrows raised perfectly and let out a laugh. 'HAH!'
Greta and El grimaced hearing their Unca Gwen's shout. 'Scaaarrryyyyyy!'
Gisela shook his head, her father really outdid it… More like – it's too much.
Lady Cheri who was bathing at the Royal Bathroom let out a singsong laughter. 'Oh my dear Gwen! Let GunGun handle it. Hahahaha!'
Murata and Shinou at the Temple laughs – much to Ulrike's dismay. The two really is enjoying the upcoming event.
Gunter who was giving orders at the courtyard let out a three consecutive sneezes. He looks up at the sky and muttered: 'Is it the season already? Kinda early.'
Gwendal on the other side of the castle – hands trembling and looks like the paper is about to be crumbled with the way he's holding it. Or if it's a live object – the soul has already departed.
He can't believe it!
How could he?
How could that – that – that DEMON made this without his consent!
The Paper that includes the Royal Programme reads:

And so on.
Gwendal slowly clutches the paper… the room trembles.
'WHAT THE HECK IS THIS?'
He can't believe this!
Seven days!
Seven days of pure agony from Gunter's foolish events laid out.
DAMNATION!
How can that – that – that DEMON! That Lavender Demon make hundreds of copies of this Programme and give out to all of the people, not just in Shin Makoku but to others as well who have gave them letters of coming.
'THE CRAP IS THAT FLAKY HAIRED THINKING?!'
He gets up angrily and the chair almost stumbled – but then – what can he do?
The Programme has already been sent out – without his knowledge or rather – he had given his trust to Gunter.
He shouldn't have.
Now, not only did he needs to take care of the Nobles but also the others as well who will join the festivities and the tournament.
And what did the programmer said: HE, THE MAOU, CONRART, HUBE, WOLFRAM and this ADAM will be JOINING the tournament!
That last time he did was because he lost a bet to his Hahaue – he never plans on joining said event in the first place!
And now? AGAIN! And it involves the young Prince of Luxembourg too!
What if something happens? What if the young Prince get injured or worst killed?!
DAMMIT!
'Gunter… I will kill you. Just give me a chance. I will pulverize the living daylights out of you.'
Gunter who was then giving another sorts of orders to the soldiers let out again three consecutive sneezes, this time much louder and heavier. He looks up at the sky and muttered: 'It's the season already.'
.
.
.
.
.
.
The documents to be signed are not decreasing – more like it's increasing. Maybe because the Maou who should be signing – is just staring at the documents. For like about an hour or so.
Yuuri stared at his hands.
Yuuri feels it.
The trembling of those hands.
He clenches his fist but he can still feels it.
Numbness and trembling.
It's been trembling since last night… no… it's been trembling since Murata told him that Wolfram will arrive…
He doesn't understand this trembling.
He doesn't understand the turmoil in his heart.
This is the first time he felt it… or like he felt it before then… long long time ago.
Like all his body system can't function.
He can't concentrate on what he is doing.
He can't eat.
He can't even sleep.
He feels so cold. Numb. Dazed.
He tried going to Wolfram's room – that has been cleaned by the maids – but to no avail. The more he goes there – the more the trembling wont stop.
His heartbeat has been palpitating – his heart has been in constant turbulence, like it wants to burst out or something. He sometimes felt he wants to vomit. But what is there to vomit? He hardly eats anything since that time. All he can take were coffee or some sandwiches.
Is it because he will be seeing his best friend again after so many years?
Without communication.
Without any letters.
Without even a hint of anything.
Was he nervous?
Was he afraid of what he will see?
He leans on his chair and clasps with his hand the Golden Wing brooch.
Wolfram's first gift to him.
He grins.
Wolfram's first gift.
Wolfram's first name calling.
He remembers it all…
.
.
.
He was wearing his usual black school uniform but with a red cape for the coronation of him being the 27th Maou of Shin Makoku, when Wolfram with that usual haughty attitude approaches him.
'Yuuri, what's with those boring clothes you're wearing?' he grimaced when The Blonde Pretty Angel approaches him. It never ceased to amazed him that someone of this great beauty truly exists and now his fiancé. Wolfram truly looks so gorgeous in his evening blue uniform.
'Huh? But Gunter said I should –'
'Don't embarrass us by wearing clothes that look like they're made for commoners!' and it still never ceased to amazed him that the said Angel has a Demonic mouth. His word cuts him and drew blood.
'Wha-' Wolfram suddenly pulled him and he was putting something on his right chest.
He was amazed at the close proximity. He sniffs. Was that Wolfram? How can a man have that kind of scent? It's so incredible and so good to the nose!
'Huh? A brooch?' he looks at the brooch on his chest.
'These Golden Wings were given to me by an uncle on Bielefeld's side when I was young…' Wolfram told him with that beautiful face and enchanting smile. The very first smile the Blonde has given him.
And Wolfram von Bielefeld truly is beautiful. He doesn't believe in those western stories of Angels and Demons – but right now his a believer. Because right before him is an Angel of great Beauty.
'THEY DON'T HAVE SPECIAL MEANING BUT I THOUGHT IT'D BE PERFECT FOR A WIMP WHO HASN'T EVEN SEEN A BATTLE!'
'DON'T CALL ME A WIMP!'
.
.
.
And yes, he believes in Demon now.
Wolfram von Bielefeld is an Angel and a Demon all wrapped in one.
How many nights have he dreamed of the past?
How many years has his Angel come to his dreams – that all he wants to do was just to sleep and not wake up.
Wolfram von Bielefeld has been his constant companion in his dreams.
Everyday he wants to sleep – to sleep and sleep and see Wolfram in his dreams.
There in his dreams, they will be talking, having those crazy and wild adventures – just the two of them.
They will ride Ao and Nemesis. Wolfram will glared at him and brattishly calls him a 'wimp' and make that adorable 'hump' of his. Cross those delicate arms and tilt that beautiful head of his away from him. But he can see the sweet smile on those pretty Sakura lips.
In his dreams they are close… close than ever. Wolfram shares to him many things. Wolfram will show him sides of him that he never shows before. Shy, innocent eyes that looks up at him. Smile that he never shows or rarely shows. Laughter. Musical Angelic laughter that he just wants to hear it again and again. He feels like a fool – but he wants to hear it all day long. Wolfram's voice is like a music to his ears.
But lately… his dreams turn into something else…
Something that made his heart thump abnormally…
Something that made him aches… all over his body…
Something… something so sweet… forbidden… full of carnal desire… passion and sensual…
His Angel, his Blonde Wolf… writhing under him… moaning… groaning…mewling like a sweet tamed cat… purring underneath him.
Those blonde hair covered in sweat… eyes in mist because of lust… lips trembling…
Every time he close his eyes – he can remember it… those sweet lips, curling into a wild… tempting grin… whispering on his ears:
.
.
.
'More… Yuuri… deeper… Yuuri… harder… Yuuri.'
.
.
.
And he can hear himself answering those demands… those whispers with:
.
.
.
'Yes Wolf… you're so tight… Wolf, let me enter more… Wolf… lick me… Wolf… spread your legs more… Suck me Wolfram… turn around… Wolfram… can you feel my fingers inside you? You are so wet…'
.
.
.
Even in the middle of the meeting he had to be excused to calm himself down. He can't help but feel feverish and hot.
Hot as if he has a fever.
Like he needs… wants… something… and that something can only be sated by a wild, fiery sun kissed Blonde Demon Prince.
Not even Jasmine can satisfy him. Its true that they had been intimate more than he can count – but every climax he had with her, he would shout in his mind only one name: 'Wolfram'
Was he missing Wolfram that much that even in the middle of their sex – all he can ever think about was Wolfram?
And every sex with Jasmine – he doesn't feel any satisfaction. He doesn't feel sated. There has always been missing something. Something that only in his dreams he can feel satisfied.
Jasmine initiated their first time – he was excited then and though he knows the mechanics of sex, to have the first time with reality makes him feel so lustful. But in the middle of the sex – he can't feel it. He can't feel any satisfaction. Like something akin to closeness and warmth were missing. He tries again and again. He wasn't Jasmine's first and so they went so many times, so many positions – but no matter how hard he tries – he doesn't feel sated.
And when he had been having those dreams… there he felt… completeness, yet longing. And he knew more than once he had been whispering the name 'Wolfram'.
He doesn't understand that.
He would wake up – wet with sweat and something else.
He feels so damn horny and lustful – but even looking at Jasmine will not make that lust into making love with Jasmine. As if that his body knew what it wants and that it was something else.
For so many years he learns to conceal his feelings and masked it with his so-called 'goofy smile'. His innocent look.
Though every time he wants to burst and just go crazy.
And all because of a Demon Prince who didn't have any decency to say good-bye to him.
A Demon Prince who selfishly went ahead and didn't even asked him.
He wants to see Wolfram.
They parted without any official good bye and he doesn't like it. Wolfram has been so very selfish.
He doesn't like Wolfram going on Earth and it truly pissed him off when he remembers that the Blonde didn't even consult him. In his young mind he felt betrayed – but as years gone by – he felt anger and truly hates Wolfram from not asking him his views.
He doesn't like Wolfram deciding that. Wolfram should have consulted him first! He is the Maou isn't he? Dammit! Just remembering it all pissed him off to know ends!
If Wolfram wants to be on Earth – they can go anytime, whenever the Blonde wishes it. They can even stay more than a week there. If he wants to go some place he can arranged that! If Wolfram wants to have something – he can buy it for him!
But him living in there is a different matter. Wolfram belongs to Shin Makoku… beside him! Didn't Wolfram promised him that he will stay besides him and vice versa? Didn't they promise each other that they will not leave each other's side?
Now… he doesn't understand what he will do to the Demon Prince once he sees him.
The uncontrollable lust and the anger in his heart make him so mad and so damn frustrated. He truly doesn't know what he will do when he sees Wolfram.
But one thing is for sure – later, when Wolfram arrives – he will drag the brat in his Royal Chamber – just the two of them and they will have a talk.
A long – long talk… worth of five years.
And damn it all – he needs some answers!
But first, he needs to control the throbbing pain in his lower half – just thinking of Wolfram created a crazy amount of hormones in his body.
.

The Tail of the Swallow.
The Great Grand Hall of Blood Pledge Castle
.
.
.
The Grand Hall, where all the Maou places their hand in the water that falls from the mouth of the lion-dragon, the symbol of Shin Makoku.
Here they all gather to welcome the Guest, or rather the long awaited come back of the known Demon Prince, who spits fire; accused His Majesty countless of time being a 'Cheater' and a 'Wimp'; the known Blonde Beauty of Shin Makoku considered to rival the beauty of all the Princesses may it be humans or Mazoku's; known to be quick-hot-tempered third son; loyal; brave; faithful and trust and love His Majesty Maou Heika.
The others as well who have heard the news of the renouncement of engagement cant believed that the Demon Prince gallantly accepts the decision and gave his blessings to the Maou Heika and his female lady. A lady known to them as the Demon Prince's childhood sweetheart.
The irony of it.
Some have an idea that the Demon Prince runs away to hide the hurt – but for those who have read and curious enough to read the whole book of the Rules of the Royal Ambassador from Shin Makoku (borrowed from the Geika) – doubts the former accusation.
No one in his or her right mind would do that. Just because of being hurt and all – thus they have for so many years accepted the fact that Wolfram von Bielefeld acknowledged the mission.
Seconds.
Minute.
Minutes…
Minutes more…
The whispers grew.
The raising of eyebrows is apparent.
The Ten Nobles especially the Head of the Noble House of Bielefeld raised his eyebrow and smirks.
Murata was laughing silently.
Well who wouldn't?
Shibuya looks so out of it. He's been pacing back and forth and not only him, the others as well notice him or more like the whole occupants - thus the whispers, murmurs, smirks, raising of eyebrows.
Murata and Shibuya are located at the Landing platform of the stairs. Shibuya can be seen by all – with his pacing back and forth – that red cape swaying with every turn he makes, fidgeting – like a sick man waiting for his lover.
'Murata! Where are they? It's pass 12 already!' he whispered to his friend.
Murata controls himself, he really wants to laugh and he bets Shinou is doing that on his behalf. 'Shibuya, patience is a virtue.'
'That apparently I don't have.' Yuuri hissed. What's taking Wolfram so long?
It's past the time already, he looks at his watch – 1230pm.
'Shibuya, you have to wait. This is not an easy feat. Von Bielefeld-Kyo and Prince Adam are going to travel with Shori and my help only.'
'Dammit!'
At the Shinou Temple, where the Original King was sitting at the fillet on the inside room where the forbidden boxes where located is currently laughing his ass out.
'Shinou Heika – Geika looks like he's enjoying himself.'
'Well of course he is.' He laughs again. Who wouldn't? This is so – so nice. He truly loves this millennia. It never bores him.
'I wonder why? Yuuri Heika looks like his about to faint with worry. He's so pale.' Ulrike said in a worried voice.
Shinou raised his brow and looks at the globe.
'Well, he's nervous and wants to be sure if my descendant will truly appear.'
'He will right? Wolfram-Kaka?' Ulrike asked.
'Yes Ulrike. For Wolfram – from all my descendants and Rufus' is the only one who always keep their promises.' Shinou said in a very serious manner and Ulrike can't fathom the voice behind Shinou Heika when he said that.
Yuuri looks around. There are so many people. Sure he is happy that all are present and that everyone was looking forward to the arrival of Wolfram von Bielefeld – the Royal Ambassador of Shin Makoku and Earth and to add to that Murata's great great so many great grandson.
He doesn't like it.
He doesn't like it one bit!
Why are all here? He didn't know that the Ten Nobles and some King and Queens from whatever country were here! Currently waiting too. He was expecting the close family only! Why are all they here?
He looks at his watch - 45 minutes had passed once again.
'MURATA-' he was about to shout when-
'Adam! Goddammit you perverted Jerk! Where the freaking hell are you touching?!'
Yuuri quiets down and so are the others when they heard the familiar voice.
The hall was immediately in silence.
'Ouch! Dammit Wolf! Stop squirming around!' They all stared at the waterfall. Did they just hear that? Wolfram von Bielefeld-Kyo and this Adam?
'Then stop touching me Jerk! Keep your bloody hands to yourself!' That is Wolfram von Bielefeld-Kyo alright.
No one has that sweet voice mixed in a royally pissed off and ready to burn you tone.
And the next voice that follows, left all the women in the hall breathless... it was... masculine... potent... powerful... solid... sinful... and delicious.
'Look sweetheart, as much I love touching you – I can't bloody hell see where I'm touching!', even in an irritated tone, the voice speaks volume.
'Ouch! The hell! What's going on? How come it's taking so much time? That stupid perverted Daikenja! The hell is he doing?'
Chuckles. Again, they cant help but be left breathless with that voice... Its as if - its mesmerizing your very soul.
'My adorable Velvet Demon, you truly have no patience.' The occupant's look – stared hard at the waterfall. Did they just hear that right?
Gwendal and Conrart stiffens – did – did that Adam just called their baby brother 'VELVET?' 'SWEETHEART?!'
'Patience! Patience? We've been here for like an hour goddammit!' the others grimaced. All too can remember that when the Demon Prince was pissed – fire will let out loose.
'Nope sweetheart, we've been only here for 15 minutes. But I'm wondering what's going on.'
The other now is so listening intently and no sound can be heard – not even a cough. Especially when that masculine and husky voice said 'SWEETHEART'
'Wait! What if Shori and Murata's Maryoku isn't enough?'
'Nope. I am lending them my Majik. So we will arrive there. Maybe, this is all new to the transportation. After all, my Majik is different from your usual Maryoku.'
So this Prince have Maryoku as well? Some are so curious but the silence greets the Hall. Not a sound utters.
'Damn. It's dark in here. Cant you use your Majik.'
'Little Angel, were currently using my Majik. We're inside the Bubble Charm already. And mind you – I use a powerful one, you hate traveling in water – you get seasick.'
They heard a shy and little gruff sound in the Demon's Prince voice: 'You don't have to point that out.'
And then they heard an amused and full of mischief voice: 'Ohhhh! Are we being shy here? Is my sweetheart pouting those adorable delicious lips? I wanna see that.'
A 'hump!' echoed through the room. 'Asshole.'
Lady Cheri smiles and cant help but squeal in delight.
'But what's taking so long?' Yes, the whole occupants too are wondering this. And why can they hear it?
.
.
.
There was an eerie silence when-
.
.
.
'AHHHHHH!'
'What?! The hell? Don't scream on my ears like that!'
'ADAM! Don't you dare go near my Hahaue!'
All eyes now turn to Lady Cheri who is blushing and smiling.
'Huh?'
'Listen to me! Don't you go near my Hahaue!' The voice of the Demon Prince is firm.
'Velvet – you are confusing me? Are you having a fever?'
Then they heard a slap – a sharp slap that is. 'Dammit! You don't have to hit my hand! I'm just checking if that silly fiery head of yours is going loony.'
'Dammit Jerk! Don't you dare go change the subject! Don't go near my HAHAUE!'
'And what pray tell is the bloody reason?'
'YOU'RE A BLOODY PERVERT! You're the same like Murata! Both of you grandfather and grandsons are a walking genital! You both attack women! I wont have you attacked nor charm my Hahaue! HUUUUMPPPP! Now I'm wondering if all those Shrine Maidens are still in one piece knowing that perverted Sage! His Vestal Virgins are his pass time to tease!'
Now ALL eyes at the Grand Hall focus on the beat red Daikenja. Who is beside the waterfall – and at the stair platform for all of them to see.
Shinou and Ulrike cant help it – though Ulrike likes the Daikenja – its true. He's a flirt. Shinou is laughing no – make that rolling on the floor like a child laughing so hard, slamming his fist on the floor.
'WALKING GENITAL! Hahahahaha! That is so original!' Shinou said while still slamming the floor.
Ulrike shook her head but cant help the giggles while looking at Shinou and the Daikenja who seems that the blood run all to his face.
A husky laughter echoes the room. 'You know sweetheart, you wound me and my grandfather to the core.'
'But its true! You're an unscrupulous lecher! And so is that Pervert Sage!'
'Hmmm… don't worry I wont be flirting with your beloved Mother. I'm loyal.'
Lady Cheri blushed but her smile was so wide. Excitement runs through her- she can't wait to see this Adam.
Gwendal and Conrart's eyes twitched. They have a bad feeling about this. And though they want to call Wolfram – they cant. They too wanted to hear more.
'Not just my Hahaue! But the maids! Waaaahhhh! Gisela!'
'Gise-what?'
Gisela who is beside her father stiffens and all eyes are now on her.
'Hmmm… wait – if its Gisela I think you're the one going to run. Hump! I wont need to protect her. After all the 'Sergeant' can destroy you with just her eyes. Hahaha!' And they heard a merry sweet laughter. To some especially to Lady Cheri, Gwendal, Conrart, Gunter, Anissina and Gisela… it was long long time ago since they heard that sweet musical laughter.
Many were stunned to hear a carefree laughter coming from the Demon Prince.
Gisela blushed and clench her fist. 'You just wait Wolfram-Kaka!' she thought.
'Wait! You're making me sound like a swine-'
'AHH! Anis-si-naa… Hmmm… Nah, I think I will let you go near her.' And with that they can hear a very devilish full of mischief voice.
Anissina who is beside his brother – who is currently shaking his shoulder in an attempt to suppress the laughter glared at the waterfall. Some of the guest knows the red hair Demon's reputation and they can't help but smirk and shoulders are shaking in silent laughter.
'Hmmm Anissina ha? Just the name sounds scary... is she?'
'HAH! Scary is putting it mildly! She's a MADWOMAN SCIENTIST! Like the one who creates Frankenstein! Or rather Frankenstein looks so damn tame from her other inventions! She's like the mother of all those ALIENS! If you need to destroy a country - just haul Anissina and everything will be obliterate! Hahaha!'
Anissina's eyes twitch. Gwendal cant help but smile at that and so are the others who fell victim by the 'mad woman'.
'Okay sweetheart – with that – I wont go near this Anissina.'
'AH! But you are! You're a perverted jerk!'
'And when did I become a pervert in your eyes?'
'DAY ONE! You slept on the same bed!'
GASPED.
Many gasped out loud with that.
Gwendal and Conrart's eyes bulge like saucers. 'WHAT THE HELL?' both their thoughts at the moment.
Gunter almost fainted.
Murata was controlling himself – if he didn't he will laugh and maybe rolled on the floor laughing.
Gisela too and Anissina almost jump from where they are.
Yozak stared hard at the waterfall.
Greta's eyes are round. 'EHHHHHHHHHHHHH' she thought.
Lady Cheri squealed so loud that others grimaced. They turn around again at the waterfall – if Lady Cheri squealed that loud then they could be heard… but after a seconds – no reaction meaning they cant be heard! Only they can hear!
'Make sense. But my sweet Angelic Demon... Didn't I tell you a hundred times that I CARRIED you from the FLOOR! You should be grateful! You brat! I shared MY OWN bed with you.'
'HUMP! Then you shouldn't sleep on the same bed!'
'Brat! Where the hell should I sleep? And may I remind you – you bloody kicked me! Punched me! You almost murdered me every time we sleep together! You're a demon on bed!'
Another squeal! This time to all the female occupants. And the maids are taking notes too. Lady Cheri cant help but fan herself feeling hot and giddy when she heard the sentence: 'every time we sleep together!'
'AHHHH! But you deserve it! I woke up one time with that goddamn arms and legs of yours snake around me! You are so damn lucky I didn't burn you on the spot!'
Others are getting red from what their hearing. Greta touched her face with both her hands. She's beat red too!
'Didn't burned me? You spoiled selfish brat! You nearly toast me! I still have that burnt on my back!'
'Because you always sleep naked!'
Another squeal! The men's jaws are dropping more and more. Even they are blushing.
'Well of course! I always sleep on the nude! Its bloody hot in summer and in winter trust the old folks to burn woods as if they are burning a mountain just for the heat! Its bloody hot.' said that voice now – is it them – or did just the voice turned sexier?
'ARGGHHH! See! You're a pervert! When you're sharing one's bed you don't go naked! You perverted jerk!'
'May I again remind you that – THAT IS MY BLOODY BED AND ROOM!'
'HUMPPPPP! THAT IS NOT THE POINT! Just don't go near any women!'
Silence.
The occupants stared hard at the waterfall...
Anticipating the next move.
And then a deep husky and masculine and adding sexy voice whispered...
A sexy voice.
A sinful voice.
So sly.
So Cunning... and so melting...
'Hmmm… now I see…'
'Huh? What?'
'My Angel is jealous...'
'WHAAAAATTTT?' The occupants almost covered their ears from that one.
'You're jealous that the women from Shin Makoku will drive me away from you. Angel - no need to be jealous. I'm all yours... heart, soul, and my body. All just for you. '
'YOU FREAKIN IDIOT! Why should I be jealous? And my dear Adam – you can keep your heart, soul and your bloody body to yourself.'
'Because no one will comfort-'
'HAH! You call that comforting? You are always groping, hugging and hitting on me! And for the record, keep that sly tongue on your mouth! Don't you dare lick me!'
Murata looks around him and he was like others have the same reaction.
When the word: groping was mention – the occupants almost fainted.
When the word: hugging was added – the occupants nearly swoon.
When the word: hitting on me was included – the females are squealing and holding each other like an avid fans hearing their favorite man exchanging love sweet nothings.
And someone did faint when the words 'LICK' was mention - who fainted - they dont know and doesnt give a damn.
'Then what should I do? A delicious Demon Prince walks in my room - my favorite part will always be - you on those sexy bathrobe or when you're wearing nothing but a long polo shirt and a short-'
'Dammit you moronic pervert stop talking about that! See! You're so perverted!'
'Well I cant help it! You look delicious. And for the record - I like licking you. Hmmm. '
'What am I?! Ice cream?! Cake?! Pudding?!'
'None of those sweetheart... I've tasted your ears, cheeks and legs... its more like honey-argh! That hurts!'
'Legs?! Legs?! When the hell did that happen?!'
'Idiot! When you were sleeping and instead of the proper sleeping position - your legs are always on my face! You kicked my face a thousand times Wolfram!'
'Serves you right! Idiotic perverted jerk!'
'So this is what I get when all I did was be your comfort?'
'Comfort?! I'd rather be comforted by a hundred of Bearbees-'
'Nah... you wouldnt like that.'
'What and why pray tell?!'
'Because you always stare at my eyes.' was said in a calm manner.
'I DO NO SUCH THING!' denies the voice that sounds so embarrassed and irritated.
The husky voice becomes more sexier and serious. 'Yeah you do. I have no doubt and swear to all the Gods - you are so in love with my eyes.'
.
.
.
.
.
Silence.
For the occupants that is a very 'eloquent silence'.
'THAT IS NOT THE POINT! Just don't go near any women! Or else I'll burn you to crisp!'
'Awww Velvet… you know that even they undress in front of me – I wouldn't look nor get turned on by them-'
'AH! STOP! You're shameless!'
'I'm not a cheater my little Wolf.'
A very stiff 'HUMP!' and in a small looks like pouting voice: 'Yeah right!'
'Did I ever lie to you?'
'No.'
.
.
.
Silence once again.
'ARGH! WHAT'S TAKING IT SO LONG? DAMMIT! MURATA AND SHINOU must be having a grand time playing pranks and forget abut today!'
A sweet chuckle, like a man listening to his beloved. 'My sweet darling demon, you should wait you know… Maybe grandpa is having a hard time too... and besides... I'm kinda enjoying this situation – I'm not going to lie - you seating on my lap... my hands... all over you... - argh! That's the nth time you elbowed my stomach you brat! '
'HUMP! That perverted Sage! I'll burn him if I need to stay here with you for another minute!'
'Ouch! You truly hurt me! Is this the way you treat your hmmm what's the word... 'lover'?'
Gasped. Quite loudly. All eyes stared so hard at the waterfall.
This time all of the occupants almost can understand Lady Cheri's squeal of delight and why Gwendal and Conrart now moves a little closer to the stairs.
They heard a laughter, 'Wow! Your delusions is killing me! Lover? Me and You? When the hell that happen?'
'When you slap-'
'WAHHHHHH! IM NOT HEARING YOU!'
'OUCH! Dammit you brat! Stop shouting!'
'MURATA! IM GOING TO BURN YOU CHOP YOU AND LET GWENDAL BURY YOU!'
'Sweetheart, is that a bluish glow or it just me?' asked the masculine and sexy voice.
When Murata heard that. He coughs a couple of times and in a very clear voice. And went nearer the waterfall.
'Nee Von Bielfeld-Kyo can you hear me?'
'HUMMMPPPPPP! MURATA! YOU PERVERTED SAGE! What's taking it so long?' they can all just imagined a very pissed with a flaming hand Demon Prince.
'Gome! Gome! There seems to be…. Ahh… power failure-'
'Power failure?! WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK THIS IS? A VACUUM!'
'Nee! Nee! Gome! Ano, Adam?'
'Yes Grandfather?' the voice turns serious and calmer.
'Hmmm… do you happen to have a spell that can 'release' you and Von Bielfeld-Kyo from there?'
'Release? As in to release someone-thing from hold?'
'Exactly!' Murata said in a cheery voice.
'I have.'
'Good. Can you please use it? Use a very powerful one.'
'So, what should I do? Just cast it?'
'Yeah. Wait for about a minute or two when a certain white glow appears on center of that bluish glow…'
'Okay.'
'Oh by the way Von Bielfeld-Kyo – I am not a walking genital like my grandson and all Shrine Maidens are still Vestal Virgins.'
'E…eh-ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh?'
'Good going sweetheart. Looks like we've been heard-'
'YOU SAGE OF ALL-'
'Hey! Calm down!'
'But if he heard us – he should have! ARGH! I'm gonna burn him! Adam! Release us now!'
'Yeah yeah… hmmm, can you move a little. No wait, not there. Wait… here.'
'ADAM! YOU JERK! THAT'S MY BUTT YOU ARE GROPING!'
'I AM MOVING YOU! I told you when I touch you – you'll know that I'm really doing it and I bet all my Majik you'll be enjoying it too-ouch!'
'Jerkface.'
'I don't know what will be the effect if I use my Majik and we're still in the water.'
'AH! Stop saying that! Murata can hear you! Dammit! It's a good thing will be arriving at the Shinou Fountain.'
Oh! The occupants grin hearing that. So Wolfram von Bielefeld thought there is only the Daikenja.
'Yeah – or else your Hahaue will turn you over her knees and strike that sexy bottom of yours.'
The girls again squeal but this time so silently to not disturb any 'talk' of the two.
'She wouldn't! She is not a barbarian!'
'Oh but your brothers will.'
'M-Murata said that only him and Ulrike will be there so I think its safe even if I curse you! And besides! You're the one who should be terrified! If you ever come near my Hahaue and the women at the Castle my brothers will slice you and bury you! Hah!'
'Ohh… talking about your great brothers huh?'
'HUMP! But of course! They're the best! My Aniue… well he is scary but he doesn't lay a finger on me!'
'Must be because he doesn't want to mar your skin! Or that Shori did told me that the Beast of Shin Makoku's weakness is cute little things… well, I think I'll be safe then.'
Gwendal blush – when all eyes are on him.
'HAH! Adam you are so not cute!'
'Oh really then what am I?' did the voice turned huskier and sexier again?
'Are you an idiot? You're gorgeous. 90% of women and men are attracted to you.'
Many hold their breaths. Murata who is standing at the side of the waterfall and lending his Maryoku shakes his shoulder. Guess they didn't know they have audiences.
'Oh… that's quite a revelation. So are you included in that 90% hmmm?'
Wolfram let out a chuckle and said, 'In your dreams.'
'Hmmm… yeah you're always in my dreams… and by the way my Angel, I'll let all your smack slide this time. Later - you'll pay a thousand times.'
'Yeah right! As if you can ever do that.'
'Hmmm... I'll really immobilize you and bite that sweet lips of yours-'
'AHHHH! Shut it! And then there's Conrart! Hah! He will slice you! Sure he's always smiling and gave lame jokes but that brother of mine was The Lion of Lütenberg! He's the best swordsman in Shin Makoku – no around the globe! Hah! Even your spell cant beat him!'
Now all eyes turn to The Lion of Lütenberg, the best swordsman with a smile and lame jokes.
'Hmmm now I'm jealous. You speak of him like his your lover or something.'
'IDIOTTTTTT! That's my Koonichan! He's the one who practically raised me!'
Conrart blush when he heard the word 'koonichan'. Never before Wolfram said that in his hearing aide and now just listening to it made him smile so warmly.
'Hmmm… that's good to hear.'
'Eh? Why?'
'I don't share Velvet. What is mine is mine… and what is yours I still considered mine.'
Gwendal and Conrart comes nearer the waterfall.
'ARRRGGGHHHH! Adam!'
'Put your arms around me-'
'WHAT? Why the hell should I do that?'
'I can see a faint light Angel. And I need you to hold on tight to me.'
'Why?'
'Just do it!'
And after a seconds or three.
'FINE! Dammit!'
They raised their brow. They were expecting that Demon Prince will gave this Adam a hard time and never comply especially with the 'Hold on tight to me' thing.
'Okay – when I count on three.'
'W-Wait! Adam! Why is the Bubble swaying?'
'Oh Crap! Wait sweetheart! Hold on. Hold on tight on me! Damn!'
