Argh, I am so sorry this has not been updated for awhile - shamefully not shamefully in the Black Butler fandom now, lol - especially after the discovery of the last chapter - Waltorana is Wolfram's father! I had to add it cause it's a little headcanon of mine since Wolfram's father is never seen when he's young (even when Conrad's father comes back to the castle cause Wolfram exists then and it's when he finds out about Conrad being half human) and it's said that Waltorana treated him like his own and even in season 3 when Wolfram is living at Bielefeld Castle after he annuls the engagement his father is nowhere to be seen or even spoken of! So yep, my headcanon is that Waltorana is really Wolfram's father (unless said otherwise in the manga, idk but anyway...)
Enjoy! I apologise if you hate Elizabeth but I actually kinda like her (she looks like Sailor Moon and I don't even watch that but I can tell it's a heavy reference to her design/character even), she makes good conflict situations. I remember that whole episode being one of my favourites and when she revealed that Wolfram was her betrothed I was like "Yuuri's gonna blow up at you for sure, ya hypocrite" xD Aw, I still love Wolfram though, still a great character - "Lose the duel and you lose your life" :D
Yuuri walked through the gardens for awhile until he finally caught up to Wolfram and Elizabeth. The two sat against the wall of a flowerbed full of Beautiful Wolfram and Elizabeth frowned at her friend.
"Wolfram, are you alright? Why did you run away from home?"
"Because I don't want to stay in the same place where my own father doesn't care if I'm alive or not. Mother says she stays with him because she loves him...so I thought that maybe if I didn't love him, then I wouldn't have to stay with him like she does".
"Wolfram...that's not true. I know you love him, you have to, he's your father".
"No I don't Elizabeth. He clearly doesn't give a single damn about me".
"Wolfram, mind your language!"
"Sorry...but it's true".
"Wolfram?" a new voice called making the prince's head snap up happily.
"Gisela! Gunter finally let you go today, huh?"
"Haha, yes, he managed to convince Julia that it was too nice a day to keep me inside".
Yuuri didn't miss the envious look in Elizabeth's eyes as the two castle residents shared a small embrace. Gisela giggled as Wolfram picked a flower and tucked it between a few strands of her green hair, and Yuuri could tell Elizabeth was fuming on the inside whilst having an almost calm expression on the outside. Yuuri found it a little bit fascinating on how Wolfram and Gisela had interacted as kids compared to how they did now. Sure, their occupations as a soldier and healer kept them apart because Wolfram was the more careful type of soldier (unlike Yuuri he didn't tend to end up in trouble and charge into things recklessly nowadays since the double black king had turned up in his life) and didn't need wounds tending to unless they were on the more serious side of the scale.
Elizabeth got up from her where she was sitting and walked to the two, taking hold of Wolfram's hand tightly. "Wolfram, who is this girl?"
"This is Gisela von Christ, Gunter's adopted daughter. She's Julia's apprentice in healing. Gisela, this is Lady Elizabeth, she's a childhood friend of mine and has been for as long as I can remember".
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Lady Elizabeth".
"Yes...I can say the same about you... Now, Wolfie, you promised that the next time I was here you'd take me to that place you love so much, remember?"
"Which place was it again?"
"The really high tower".
"Oh, yeah, now I remember. Gisela, would you like to join us?"
Elizabeth stepped in before Gisela had a chance to reply. "Oh I bet she's busy with all that homework Julia's given her, I'll bet. You know how that woman is Wolfram, I'm surprised she doesn't load you with homework for your soldier training that you want to do".
"Well I bet she can spare an hour or two with us, right Gisela?"
"Umm...well, I suppose I should really get going on my homework. Lady Elizabeth's right. I'll see you later, perhaps".
Poor Gisela... Yuuri thought as the green haired girl walked away whilst Elizabeth tugged Wolfram in the opposite direction. I knew Elizabeth was protective of Wolfram since they're so close but I didn't think she'd be mean to someone like Gisela. I mean, sure she called my love for Wolfram "evil" when we met but I always thought that was because she didn't appreciate being engaged to another boy... I guess not. She just hates him being with anyone other than her, friend or love rival...
That evening when Elizabeth finally went home, Wolfram went to find Gisela and make sure she was alright but bumped into his uncle, mother and father. The young Bielefeld instantly shrunk back and gulped a little as Wolfgang briefly locked eyes with him.
"Hello Wolfie, where are you off to?" Celi asked with a soft smile.
"I-I was just going to see if Gisela was okay, Mother".
"That healer girl? Why do we need her anyway? We have Julia and she's as good as anyone from the village, Wincott or whatever". Wolfgang snorted in disgust and Waltorana caught a flash of irritation in Wolfram's eyes before clearing his throat.
"Why don't we leave the young boy to go about his way while we continue to discuss our options here, Lord Brother?"
"Tch. Fine, Waltorana".
Yuuri barely had time to register the change of scene and only managed to take in the features of Wolfram and Gisela being a few years older before his black eyes widened as the two shared a valuable kiss together as well as an embrace.
Yes...yes I ship Wolfram x Gisela :D One of the less thought of couples but it's a super sweet one! Um, so the next update is actually towards the end of this month since it's my birthday on the 28th and I'm turning 19! So, I decided to update most if not all my stories by one chapter on the week surrounding that date :)
Also, yes, I do like the idea of Wolfram crushing on Gisela and Elizabeth instantly disliking her when they were little before he went to Bielefeld for his training.
So, next chapter is going to be a sweet fluffy Wolfram x Gisela chapter before Waltorana comes back to take Wolfram to Bielefeld Castle for his training as a soldier :)
