Hi guys I would like to thank everyone who read the last chapter/s and for those who reviewed THANKYOU!
Pikeebo: Yeah I know Yuuri should repent and all. I am not sure how he is going to pay for what he did to Wolfram. I guess we'll just have to find out. Hehehe! Thank you for the review and insights.

Chapter Eleven
They arrived at the Von Biefelt's castle by noon. Wolfram's uncle greeted them personally when they were inside the gates.
Before Wolfram got off his horse his uncle started bombarding him with questions about the dissolution of his engagement with the young king.
Not really caring or realizing that he was putting salt in fresh wounds by asking his nephew those kinds of questions so boldly.
Murata felt sorry for the young blonde. But the sage also admired Wolfram for replying so politely and not showing any of his feelings.
Clearly Wolfram is a well trained soldier or maybe his pride can't afford to let his very own uncle to see his pain.
Murata smiled to himself as he remembered the times Wolfram showed his true feelings to the sage, like last night.
Those occurrences happen very often lately. Maybe Wolfram really is starting to trust Murata more.
Murata snapped out of his thoughts just in time because Waltorana finally lets the subject of the engagement go.
And currently turns his attention to Murata. The older blonde gave a respectful bow to Murata and invited the two for tea and snacks in the garden.
Murata became speechless when he arrived at the castle garden. It was like you're in an enchanted garden in the fairytale books and the only flowers are beautiful Wolframs.
"First timers always have that kind of expression." Wolfram smiled.
"How come I never knew there was a place in Shin Mokoku like this?" Murata asked.
"Uncle doesn't want to show it off. He doesn't want nosy nobles visiting around here in the garden." Wolfram replied.
Murata only nodded as he continued to look around the garden.
Wolfram on the other hand was surprised at the reaction the great sage has when they entered the garden.
He never thought that there is a place out there that will amaze the great sage. But Wolfram decided not to show his surprise.
Waltorana led his nephew and the sage to a small table in the middle of the garden. There was already tea and snack on it and a vase filled with fresh beautiful Wolframs.
"This is a very beautiful place." Murata said to the older blonde as he took a seat.
"Thank you, great sage. The compliment means a lot since it is from you." Waltorana smiled as he took a sip from the tea cup Wolfram just filled with tea.
"It is uncle's hobby to improve this garden." Wolfram added.
"Oh… that's nice you two have a similar hobby!" Murata exclaimed. Wolfram slap his head since he never told Waltorana his love for gardening.
"Nephew, you never told you loved gardening!" Waltorana pouted. Murata smiled in his head knowing he got Wolfram in trouble and that he found out pouting run in the family. "Starting tomorrow you'll help me on the improvements of our garden."
"Uncle, there's nothing to improve! It's very beautiful already!" Wolfram argued.
"There is always room for improvement!" Waltorana barked and glared at Wolfram. The younger blonde could not utter a reply because of how intense the glare was.
Meanwhile Murata was having a blast from watching the two blondes fight. They really are relatives seeing how similar they act. The great sage looked at Wolfram who was across the table glaring at him. Good thing Shin Mokoku hasn't invented a weapon that uses glares to kill or he'd be dead by now.
"So great sage I heard that you and Wolfram has gotten a lot closer." Waltorana smiled changing the topic. He is trying to make up for arguing in front of the double black with his nephew. "It's nice that somebody can keep Wolfram company. After all… he has gotten lonelier ever since he got engaged with the young king."
"Uncle!" Wolfram hissed.
There was an awkward silence after Wolfram hissed at his uncle. Neither party has any clue what to say.
Wolfram and Murata knew that Waltorana is telling the truth. And the truth really stings the younger blonde.
"I am actually the one who should be thanking Wolfram for keeping me company. He has been… interesting. And please call me Ken. Although I told Wolfram to call me that he simply won't agree. So we finally met halfway to where both of us our comfortable with which is Murata." Murata said attempting to break the awkwardness of the situation.
"I am afraid I have to go with Murata too." Waltorana smiled.
"Very well… I really don't understand what's wrong with my name." Murata sighed.
"Oh! I shouldn't keep you two any longer I am sure that you're all tired since high end inns are nothing compared to a bed or room of a noble. I'll let you two rest now. And Murata feel free to stay as long as Wolfram plans to stay here. I really don't want to see a frowning blonde alone in the castle." Waltorana said.
"Thank you. But I really would like to do a little exploring around the castle." Murata smiled.
"I would love to be the one who can tour you around but I have matters to attend to. I am sure Wolfram would be a good substitute." Waltorana grinned.
Murata felt death glares being thrown at him from behind.
So he just told the older blonde that he can manage enough even though the Biefelt castle larger than Blood Pledge.
Waltorana only nodded and excused himself. Wolfram too excused himself leaving the great sage alone.
As soon as Wolfram entered the room and closed the door and leaned on it. He took a very deep breath.
This is the moment he has been waiting for his escape…his freedom.
He brought out the pill Anissina gave him and placed it in front of him as he began to right his farewell letters to his brothers, mother, uncle, Yuuri and Murata.
Wolfram started crying when he was writing Yuuri's letter.
But did his best not to leave tear stains on the paper fearing that Yuuri might not believed that this was what he wanted. Yuuri might even think Wolfram was forced into doing this.
By the time Wolfram was finished writing he felt emotionally drained.
It was dark already outside and that he is going to kill a part of him. And come tomorrow he will never be the same.
Slowly he reached for the pill. Anissina said that the pill will knock him off for several hours.
Well… actually that's what Anissina thinks since the pill hasn't been tested. Wolfram swallowed the pill in one quick later he fell on the matters unconscious.
Wolfram found himself walking through his memories with Yuuri in it.
After visiting a memory it will automatically shatter like a broken glass.
The last memory that Wolfram visited was the night when Yuuri slapped Wolfram after insulting the double black's mother.
When the last memory shattered Wolfram felt himself falling deeper and deeper into the cold darkness.
