"Hn. As if my horse would let anyone else ride him.", Gwendal said.
"What do you mean 'anyone else'!", she asked.
Gwendal turned his head, which Yuri followed. Wolfram was ordering the soldiers to take the man away while Conrad was kneeling beside the little boy. Yuri immediately jump out of Gwendal hands and ran towards the boy. She kneel beside him.
"He's hurt somewhere.", Conrad told her.
"Hey, are you okay?", she ask worrying.
"Hurry, get a medic! Oh yeah, get Gisela!", she said.
"Your majesty .", the little boy spoke. Yuri look down at the boy who was smiling.
"You don't have to call me that.", she said.
"But you're a king right? You're going to protect our village, aren't you?", he asked.
"I promise. I will protect this village. I will protect all of you.", she promised.
"Will you teach me baseball? I played with sir-Conrad sometimes.", he said. Yuri was shocked, she looked at Conrad who smiled. Yuri smiled, tears rolling down her face.
"ARGH!" she shouted in anger and sadness. The sky turned dark and it started raining. The villagers look up into the sky. The raging fire was soon put out by the rain.
Ceremony
Fireworks were displayed. Bell chimes are ringing. In the great hall of Blood Pledge Castle, Soldiers, Lords were standing for the coronation ceremony. Yuri stood below a flight of stairs with Gunter and Conrad beside her. A huge dragon statue with water coming out from it's mouth were on top the stairs with Lady Cecile standing beside it. Yuri walked up the flights of stairs. She was wearing a blue cloth hung around her shoulder with a gold cord to secure it. She stood in front of Lady Cecile. She was feeling nervous.
"Calm down.", Lady Cecile said.
"I just have to stick my hand in the waterfall, right?", she asked.
"Yes. To become the king, that's the only task you need to do. Easy, isn't it?", she answered.
Yuri laughed softly: "Even I can do that. All right." She walked to the waterfall.
'Why in the world did I say that? Either way, I never take back by word.", she thought.
She put her hand into the waterfall. She sighed with relieved.
"Why did I say that?", she smiled.
She felt something was pulling her hand, she was being pulled into it.
"Your majesty!", Conrad and Gunter shouted. She pulled her face out of the water, and catch her breath.
"Something's grabbing me!", she said.
Lady Cecile stood over there in shock. She tried to pull her hand out of the water.
"Conrad!", she shouted.
"Pull him out!", Gunter ran to her.
Gwendal and Wolfram looked on with shocked.
"Something's pulling at me!", She said. Her body was almost in the water. Before she was completely submerge by it, Gunter hands caught Yuri's hat before she was pulled in.
"Your Majesty!", Gunter and Conrad shouted.
EARTH
Yuri opened her eyes. Rio was looking at her.
"Thank goodness, you came to!", he said.
"Rio, didn't you run away?", she asked him.
"I can't leave behind someone who saved me.", he answered.
He turned to the officer, "She seems to be alright.", he said. She sighed.
"Was that all a dream?", she asked. She saw the gold cord around her shoulder. 'No Then what's this?', she thought.
"Shibuya I don't mean to ask but why are you wearing a boy's uniform?", Rio asked.
"It's a long story ..", she reply.
It seems that this game hasn't been reset yet.
Yuri was buttoning up her new Baseball uniform.
"Wait till Conrad hear that I started playing Baseball again.", she smiled.
She put on the necklaces that Conrad gave to her. She headed down to the dining room for her lunch. She sat down and eat. 'I miss mom cooking!', she smiled happily. Her mother walked into the room.
"Yuri, I know that you are growing up and I didn't ask you for anything except for you to be healthy right?", she ask.
"Yes, mom.", Yuri answered.
"I know you had your own taste in fashion but what is this?", she hold up the G-string like underwear.
"Mom!", Yuri face was red. She snatched the underwear from her mother. 'Oh Shit!', she thought.
"I I don't know ..so I just .j-just buy it!", she said.
"Oh! Look at the time! I got to go!", she ran to grab her backpack and ran out of the house.
*Sigh* "What an impatient temperament. How could you become the Demon king with that temperament.", her mom said.
"That was so embarrassing!", Yuri said as she walked to the Baseball pitch for her practice.
Christopher was waiting for her with Rio. They became friends quickly.
"Hey guys!", Yuri ran towards them.
"Hey, Yuri!", they said.
"Thanks for getting me into this team and I'm also sorry that you had to become the manager for the team.", she apologize to Rio.
"Don't worry about it. It's the least I can do for my savior.", he replied happily.
After practice was over, Christopher ask them: "Do you guys want to go to the mall and hangout?"
"Oh, now I can't. I am going home to changed as I have to get back to school for some activities and to take my homework but I'll be free after that.", she said.
"Why don't we meet by the fountain by the park at four' o clock so later we could hangout.", Rio suggest.
"That's okay for me. I can straight away come to the park after I've finished with the activities.", Yuri said happily.
"Then it's settled!", Christopher said.
After her activities finished, she walked towards her locker. She open it and started putting her books and home works in her school bag. She saw her black Converse cap and smiled. She put on the cap and saw that there was two letters in her locker. She put the letters into her bag and closed the locker door.
The Park
She was sitting by the fountain with her legs in the water. She has took off her shoes and socks so she could cool her leg in the water. She also rolled up her long hair and tucked them neatly under her cap, so the heat won't make her sweat and make her hair stuck to the back of her neck. She was chewing on a piece of sweet which she brought from a nearby store. 'I think I'll keep them so Christopher and Rio can have some.', she thought and put them in her bag. She waited for them to come.
Suddenly, she fell the water current was becoming heavier. She looked down and saw that a whirlpool has formed in the fountain. She tried to get out but some unseen forces was pulling her in.
"Ahh!", she shouted. She was going to be suck in.
She grab hold of her bag before she was completely pulled in.
