I have to say that I'm proud I'm updating this soon, it had started to become two months between updating (I'm shocked it came this far), but lookie here it hasn't been a month yet!
Thanks for reviewing:
kkm-crazyfan24 I wanted to make Conrad and Yozak a couple in which you just didn't know who's seme and who's uke. I'm happy I succeeded :D.
tensai11 My grammar is my weak point, I know and I'm glad you can look passed that and still enjoy the story.
Nikkie23534 I'm working on the Berndt history and I hope it'll be to you're liking. For intimate moments between Günter and Gwendal you'll have to wait a little longer, they are at war after all, but more is coming!
XZanayu Hope this one wasn't to late and will Gwendal be okay? I'm wondering too.
Disclaimer: I don't own Kyou Kara Maou and don't make money from this story, but I do own this story!
Completely lost in thought Günter didn't notice that Yozak was sprinting to pass him and the soldier he was following. As a result he ran into the soldier when the spy had stopped him. "We're going to surround them. You two attack from here," The reddish pointed to the two soldiers, "and we're going from behind them." He looked the silver-head in the eye and got a nod.
'I almost blew it!' Günter lectured himself as he followed Yozak into the bushes. His eyes slid from green leaves to the scene in the open area. Gwendal had been forced on his knees, but when the commander swayed with his sword the demon blocked him in the nick of time and rolled to a safe distance. Seeing this, the silver-head was reminded that his lover could stand his ground. Having found his courage again he accelerated until he was running beside the spy.
"We'll take the centre since the ends are the ones who are going reach the others first." Günter nodded while positioning himself. They both knew the moment the two soldiers ran into the open they had to attack. It seemed to take forever before the two entered the open area, but they had to be sure that their superiors had reached their hiding places. Finally the two showed themselves and like predicted the mass humans moved their way. Nodding to each other Günter and Yozak came into action. Screaming a war cry they ran into the open and saw the humans stop confused in their tracks. Gwendal used this confusion to push the commander backwards and to retreat to the other two soldiers. His eyes met Günter's and the silver-head noticed his lover was reaching his limit.
"We can never beat them in this state!" He hissed at Yozak who was right behind him now. Back to back they continued fighting.
"I still have some smoke bombs, if we can regroup and get near a thick part of the forest…" Günter nodded not caring that the reddish wouldn't see it, he could feel his head movement.
"We need to get to the others." With that said both of them got more aggressive and made it pretty quickly to their goal. "Happy too see me?!" The silver-head teased his boyfriend, who frowned at him.
"What timing." He mumbled half-hearted which made his love smile. Yozak quickly changed places with Günter and spilled the plan to his commander, who nodded agreeing. "Just one problem, those guys are climbing that tree to have a surprise attack." A little surprised the spy turned to the pointed tree and noticed how one human was settling himself.
"Someone needs to take them out…"
"And when the humans are distracted with the fact that their plan failed, it's time to get out of here." Gwendal continued and the reddish spy finally caught his drift.
"Someone will have to stay behind."
"Yes."
"Günter's not going to like this."
"He'll understand." Yozak shook his head, but knew they didn't have another choice. He attacked two humans at once, making it that his commander could pass them. The silver-head noticed the movement and looked not understanding at the spy, who was saying something to one of the soldiers. Gwendal made it in the middle of all the humans, keeping an extra eye on the commander and bumped with his back against the tree that contained the human. His eyes searched for Yozak's and gave the sign. In a mere second Gwendal stoke his sword above him into the tree-tame, crawled on it and kicked the human out of the tree. Like expected the humans were stupefied and the other demons took their change.
After running for ten minutes Günter, Yozak and the other two soldiers stopped and hide, waiting for the humans who didn't came. Relieved the silver-head sat down and counted heads. "Where's Gwendal?" He asked and the spy's face told everything. "We need to go back!"
"You know that would be stupid."
"But…" The blue eyes demanded him to use his brain.
"They won't kill him since he's the commander." He mumbled automatic and realized that sentence sounded a lot like the one Henning had said.
Gwendal was tossed hard into a prison. He could hear the humans mocking him, but he zoomed them out. He had other problems like for example that opening his eyes cost him a lot of energy. "Sir!" got his attention and he tried to look at his companions. "Make room!" The voice continued and he felt two persons raise him. He was laid down on a surface that was a little softer than the ground. He tried to stay conscious but he couldn't. Slowly he slipped away into the darkness.
"We're going to need back-up." Günter mumbled thinking. Yozak couldn't help but feel sorry for the silver-head. If it had been Conrad he would probably have been even worst than the librarian.
"First we need to get the survivors out of this country. I'll inform Heika about the situation and ask for more men." The reddish spy answered the mumbling. Günter nodded his agreement and prayed silently that his love was okay.
"Wolfram!" Yuuri yelled loudly running through the whole castle in search for his hubby. He repositioned Yuji who he was carrying and speed up when he noticed a blonde and black head outside. "Wolfram!" Now the blonde turned towards him and straightened himself, leaving the little one sitting on the ground.
"Calm down, what's wrong?" The queen asked when the king stopped before him.
"Come on, say it again!" He babied Yuji who found the little Yaelle sitting below him more interesting.
"He's too young to talk, wimp!" Wolfram was using his 'duh' tone which made the Maou frown.
"Come on, Yuji, say it one more time." Yuuri almost begged while taking his son's hand in his and finally succeeded in getting the little one's attention.
"Dad-dad-y"
"You heard that he said daddy!" The emerald green eyes widened astonished.
"That's… quick." He mumbled not completely comprehending the situation.
"I know! Probably because he's more human than demon" Now Wolfram was completely shocked.
"That… makes sense!"
"Of course it does, don't look at me that way!" Yuuri yelled a little hurt but quickly forgot about it as he kneeled down to Yaelle. Finally his mind caught up as he looked down at his little family.
'I guess it's only normal he's faster…' Then something pulled his attention. A pigeon flew over them and Yuuri straightened himself beside him. "Aniue…"
Leaving the kids in the hands of the maids the royal couple rushed to the Maou's office. They weren't surprised to see Conrad release the pigeon of his message or Lady Cheri standing beside him. The brown-head handed over the paper as Greta came rushing in.
"What does it say!" She demanded as her parents read it together. Their eyes went from relief too terrified.
"Raphael was found, he's fine…" Yuuri started not taking his eyes from the last line as his daughter's relief was clear to hear. "But… Gwendal got caught…" The three standing around the royal couple looked shocked at them.
"Gwen, my Gwen… no… no, what happened!" Cecilie panicked.
"It doesn't say…" She got as answer from her son-in-law.
"He isn't someone to get caught that easily…" Conrad said his thoughts and seemed to calm his mother a little.
"You're right he probably sacrificed himself to save his GünGün." His mother romanticized the whole situation and the others could only hope she was half right.
"Would they… kill uncle Gwendal?" Greta asked carefully.
"Probably not, he's too value for them." Conrad comforted her as well as he could.
"Aniue holds too much information." Wolfram mumbled and Yuuri looked worried at him.
"Conrad, who's best to sent for back-up." The double black turned to his godfather. Worrying Cheri looked out of the window letting his sons plan the rescue.
'Why there? I hope Günter isn't going to lose it.' She could still see the past playing in front of her eyes. A young Günter ran up to his brother, who was talking to Henning on the courtyard. She saw him telling the good news to the two friends and she had known that he was informing them about his first mission. While Berndt was congratulating his little brother, Cheri could see him looking at Henning, who blushed a little as response. Those two always were good pretenders.
"Mother?" Wolfram got her out of her daydream.
"Sorry Honey-chan, what did you say."
"Do you have any connections in that human country? We could use a guide and the help." The big breasted woman smiled.
"I know someone who can help."
She was getting more nervous with every step she took, but she didn't show it on her face.
"Mother, where are we going?" Wolfram asked from behind her. He had trouble keeping up with her.
"Just a little further, Honey-chan!" She yelled to her youngest and could hear the queen groan. He really didn't like this neighborhood. Finally the ex-Maou stopped and questioning Wolfram looked at the house in front of them, a rundown place in a forgotten dark corner of the city. Taking off her cape, Cecilie knocked politely and stumbling sounds were heard from inside the house. The person seemed to bump against a couple of walls before finally reaching the front door.
"What!!" A hoarse voice yelled angry at being disturbed. A man completely covered in dirt and smelling like sweat and urine was what Wolfram got to see.
'What's mother thinking?!' The big breasted woman refused to move and just kept smiling at the man, waiting for him to recognize her in his drunken daze.
"YOU!" The man suddenly yelled shocked, stepped backwards and slammed the door in their faces.
"Mother?!"
"Just wait, Wolfie." He looked at her like she was nuts, but didn't move and after a couple of minutes the door opened again.
"I'm sorry, Lady von Spitzweg." The man sounded a little more sober and the drops of water that roll of his chin betrayed that he had splashed water in his face to wake up.
'There aren't a lot of people who call mother that. Who is he?' The blonde queen wondered as he followed Cheri inside. The man seemed embarrassed to let his old acquaintance enter and only now noticed that her son was also with her.
"My queen!" He was getting more embarrassed with the minute. Clearing the living room in a quick wave, he opened the curtains for what seemed to be the first time in years and watched apologizing at his guest. Cheri smiled and sat down on the dirty cough not caring about her clothes. Wolfram chose to stand but was forced down when he mother gave him a demanding look. "What can I do for you?" The man asked worryingly. It seemed he didn't expect them to come to him unless they didn't have another choice.
"Günter needs your help!" Cheri dropped the bomb and the man's eyes widened in panic.
"Not there!" Sadly the ex-Maou closer her eyes and nodded.
"This is going to take forever!" Günter hissed angry when they had to insert another break.
"Give them a break they have had a hard time." Yozak whispered, but he could understand where the silver-head was coming from.
"We're almost at the horses." Breathing in and out Günter tried to relax himself a little while thinking about this little positive news. After five minutes the break was over and they started to move again. Another twenty minutes and they finally reached the two soldiers they had left behind with the horses. Gisela started to help the wounded on the horses while the military got together for a meeting. "We'll," Günter started pointing to Yozak and himself, "go back and set the humans on a dead trail. All of you need to get the villagers as quick as possible out of this country, only in Shin Makuko you can slow down your pass." The soldiers nodded understanding their new orders. "Now the dangerous part is going to start." Günter mumbled and reddish's eyes turned to him.
"I'll get the information about Lord von Voltaire whereabouts." The spy promised his superior.
