Part 14
Yosak really couldn't believe his ears.
When he had asked that question without thinking, he thought Gwendal would've reprimand him and outright deny what was really going on. But he was surprised that Gwendal actually told him everything.
Of course Gwendal made him swear not to tell anybody about it. Yosak agreed since it would ease his curiosity. It wasn't what he was expecting.
Although he did think it was a possibility that the Captain would actually make a move on the small blond. But he never did imagine that Conrad actually succeeded. After all, with Wolfram's outright dislike of humans and the fact the blond acted like he hated the other, he didn't think it'd get very far.
By damn, he was proven wrong.

Conrad had to get out.
It was always possible since the soldiers were too distracted at their failed attempts in getting their hands on Yuri. With the castle in chaos, he slipped out of the ranks and into the long corridors of the castle. He changed into his real uniform and immediately set out for Blood Pledge castle. (1)
Finally, he would have a decent nights sleep, next to his beloved of course. But would probably get a scolding by Gwendal when he returns.
Truth be told, he was scared of facing Gwendal. They didn't leave in pleasant terms and things were unresolved between them. All of a sudden, Gwendal just seemed to change his mind. He reached to brush his fingers against the formerly marred cheek. It had been the one Gwendal punched him for and the last touch he had felt from Wolfram.
He had been surprised to see Wolfram back in Dai Shimaron. He felt relieved that the blond was doing alright. Of course, he had been scared Wolfram would think differently of him. After all, he had joined the ranks of Dai Shimaron. One would say he was doing it to spite Gwendal. They would be partially right. He didn't think clearly at that time. He had been angry with Gwendal for what he had done and not being an older brother. Conrad had to smile at Gwendal's reaction. It must've been a shock for the elder. Conrad got satisfaction out of that.
He changed his mind a few days after, after he caught wind of the plan. It was Dai Shimaron's plan to destroy the Mazoku and that included Wolfram.
He couldn't let that happen.
He'd die first before anything happened to Wolfram.
Conrad continued traveling. He remembered to prepare himself for a scolding he was sure to get when he arrived. Gwendal may be soft at times, but he was still mean at different intervals. Gwendal at times wouldn't be kind with words. Conrad knew, especially now.
He had finally reached Mazoku territory. He was glad to be back and that he hadn't run into any trouble on the way. He continued his trek towards Blood Pledge castle. He found it fortunate enough that he had arrived at night. So he didn't have to deal with Gwendal first thing in the morning. He knew the routine for nightly patrols. So he bided his time to sneak in the castle without him or his horse being seen. Once he left his horse at the stables, he snuck his way into the castle.
Dutiful as he was, he didn't report. Seeing as how it was dark and maybe Gwendal was sleeping in his room or office depending on how the elder brother stayed up. He made his way down the long corridors and decided to walk directly to Wolfram's room. He did his best to avoid being seen by the guards. He wanted Wolfram to be the first to see him back. He slowly opened the door as to not awaken the blond.
There on the bed lied his beloved. He quietly shut the door and placed his sheathed sword on the available table. Conrad walked towards the bed and stared down at the sleeping figure. He slowly sat down on the bed hoping not to wake the blond. Luckily all he got was a shift and stillness. Reaching out, he brushed his fingers through the blond bangs and caressed the smooth cheek. Where his fingertips touched, it burned. The tingling sensation was back and stronger than before. It had been awhile since he had laid hands on Wolfram. He missed the blond deeply.
Tiredness catching up with him he lied down next to the blond, his arm unconsciously going around the slim waist bringing them closer. He smiled in satisfaction when Wolfram snuggled up to him.
He soon joined the blond in peaceful sleep.
-X-
It was warm.
He didn't want to get out of bed, but the sun's rays wouldn't relent. He groaned a bit and still kept his eyes closed. He snuggled to the blanket providing that comfortable warmth. He felt warm air intermingling with his. Whatever it was, it was comfortable.
A few seconds later, he felt something running through his hair. It felt nice, so he let it be. This must be a dream. It would probably end sooner rather than later. A few minutes later, it didn't relent. This was one rather persistent dream. He opted to take his chances and see what was going on.
He opened his eyes fully, blinking away the sleep. He had almost jumped away had it not been for the arm around his waist. He gasped in surprise as he realized who was with him. He stared at that handsome face.
"Conrad…" he breathed out. He was surprised. He wasn't expecting Conrad for a while.
"You sure don't look happy," Conrad commented. It snapped the blond out of his shock propelling his arms around the other. He buried his face in the juncture of Conrad's neck. He had missed his lover/brother. After all, it had been a few months. He felt safe and happy now. Conrad was back.
Conrad smiled at the reaction he got. He kissed Wolfram's neck and nuzzled it affectionately. He shifted them, till he was sitting up with Wolfram on his lap. His arms tightened around the blond. He was afraid that Wolfram wouldn't be here. He was afraid that he'd disappear and that he was still out camping in the woods waiting to return to the castle. The warmth felt real, everything felt real!
He was here; he wasn't back in the woods. He was back home. Tentatively, Wolfram gave him a kiss. Conrad kissed back. He missed this passion. His hands found their way to the widening hips and caressed the skin through the soft, pink nightgown that he adored. He broke away and began ravishing the blond's neck. His arm wrapped around the waist to hold his trembling lover up while his other hand found its way under the nightgown caressing the thigh. He smirked in satisfaction as a moan escaped the slim throat. He gasped as Wolfram unintentionally brushed his clothed erection. He growled hungrily before pushing the blond on his back.
"Mine," he growled out possessively.
He didn't give the blond time to answer by crushing his lips on his. He took grasp of the hands trying to push him away. He wanted this. He missed this. He missed being with his beloved.
"Conrad… stop… someone might… mmnnn… come… nugh… in…" Wolfram told the other between moans. He couldn't deny that he was aroused by his brother's actions, but he knew they couldn't continue at the moment. Someone would see them, but he too didn't want the pleasurable feeling to stop. He half-heartedly pleaded with Conrad to stop. The brunette was sometimes not a good listener.
They pulled away as they heard the door slam shut. Surprised, they looked for the intruder, to see no one. Now they had another problem to worry about. Who saw them? Was it a servant? Soldier? Yuri? Gwendal? Gisela? Their worries increased and their passion died down. Conrad gave Wolfram one more kiss.
"I'll see you later. I have to inform Gwendal of my return." He said before straightening his clothing and hair to exit out the door. Wolfram just watched as he disappeared through the door and sighed. He'd better get changed too.
-X-
"What you have done was stupid and suicidal!" came Gwendal's yell. The walls weren't thick, so if you pass by you'd hear Gwendal yelling at some unfortunate soldier. This time, it just happened to be Conrad. He was the only one who entered at all throughout the whole day.
Meanwhile, inside the office, Gwendal was spouting off words while Conrad just took it. There was no use in trying to stop Gwendal. The man looked ready to punch him, again. He didn't want to explain to Wolfram what had happened, should it come to that. Well, at least the elder wasn't throwing things at him. After a few minutes, Gwendal finally stopped and just stared out the window. The man was in deep thought. Conrad didn't bother to ask if he could leave in fear of the other blowing up on him again. Judging by Gwendal's stern look, he was probably deciding on what to do with him. He hoped it wouldn't be another mission. He heard a sigh come from the distraught man.
"You are confined to the castle. You are not to leave until…" Gwendal trailed off thinking if he should blow out the secret or not. "…until she is born." He finally finished.
That caught Conrad off guard. It was not what he was expecting. Sure, a punch or two, or probably a day in the dungeons, even if he doubted the latter… But not this…
He'd ponder it later. Wolfram might burst in and get the wrong idea.
"Yes, I understand." He said, giving a slight bow and moved to exit.
Then it occurred to him…
They were having a girl.
-X-
Dammit! Gwendal thought to himself.
He didn't know what to do… or say… He was trapped. He had to think of a suitable punishment for Conrad. It was hard, but he did his best to let it be light but tolerable. Perhaps he made it too tolerable.
He went easy!
But it was Wolfram's idea. So… if he wanted to patch things up with Conrad, then it would be beneficial for him to act nicer than usual around the second brother. Although he was privileged to actually tell Conrad of the baby's gender. Gwendal was happy to hear the news from Wolfram. When he heard, he began knitting girl clothes in his free time… which was only when he was nervous. He couldn't deny that he was excited. But he couldn't tell Günter. After all the purple-haired man was downright loud in voicing out problems, which were no one's business. He knew he couldn't lie and say it was the Maou's. After all, they'd had to have a period of years to even make Wolfram bear a child. Now that he thought about it…
How long had this been going on?
-X-
Yuri sighed.
Paperwork, paperwork, lessons, lessons, paperwork, paperwork…
It was never ending. He wished he could get out of this damn office. Being a king wasn't all that great. But he was happy that the atmosphere of the palace changed. He did notice, since Conrad's return, Gwendal had been calmer and Wolfram was ten times happier. The blond had been moody since he had been waiting Conrad's return. Wolfram was demanding at times. Yuri thought he wouldn't get a break at Wolfram's demands. Dammit, it should be Conrad's job. But he wasn't here at the time, so he had to do it. Plus, he had been so busy that he missed that check-up when Gisela told them of the baby's gender. Gwendal heard it first.
Standing up, he decided he needed a break… a long break. Yuri wanted to walk around and see where he ended up.
About ten walk minutes later; he fell into the fountain back to his world.
-X-
Wolfram sighed as he heard crashes come from Gwendal's office, and a words consisting of 'bad omen' coming after each one. He needed something to do. It was boring being confined to the castle until the day came. Plus, even Conrad had something to do, despite being also confined to the castle. Plus, Yuri had been gone for the rest of the week. In fact, usually, he'd be back after four days. Now the castle was in chaos because of it. Günter was the worse. Wolfram wished Gwendal would put the purple-haired man on a leash.
Dammit, it was still boring.
There was nothing to do. He couldn't go out because the guards had strict orders by Gwendal and Conrad not to let him out without Conrad or Yuri. It was troublesome. The blond sighed and decided a walk in the gardens would be good.

"Oi, Shibuya!" came Murata's call. Yuri paused and turned to see his friend running up to him. They had just won the baseball game so Murata figured that they go celebrate. But the teen did observe Yuri's play. It seemed off, as if the other was very worried. In fact something was bothering the other.
Yuri was in deep thought throughout the game. His mind had been on Shin Makoku. He was worried for the others. He wondered if they were doing okay without him. He had been trying to get back so he wouldn't miss much. After all, he had been worried about Wolfram, Conrad, and Gwendal. He hoped that nothing happened between them again. He didn't want to come back to find Conrad murdered by Gwendal because Wolfram refused to separate as did Conrad.
Why was he thinking that way? Gwendal wouldn't do such a thing. He must be really worried to be thinking that way. He paused in step as Murata called him.
"Shibuya." Murata called to him, but felt himself being pushed down into a puddle of water. The only thought in his mind was:
I'm going back!
-X-
Yuri found himself washed up on a beach. He panicked. Was he still in his world? Or was he just dreaming everything? No, it couldn't be.
"Shibuya! Look where we are!" Came Murata's voice. Yuri was surprised that Murata was with him. But he just let it go. He had to know where he was. "C'mon Shibuya, let's find civilization." Murata suggested.
Yuri was halfway listening. He knew he had seen this beach before. It was so familiar.
"Yuri!"

1 – In the series, it didn't show exactly how Conrad actually managed to get back to Shin Makoku, just that it happened. It was abrupt. If I'm wrong please correct me.
BLK Angel of Destruction: There's part 14! This story is almost, almost done! But I still can't believe that I had almost forgotten about Murata! AHH! But I'm almost done. I don't know if I'd actually go through with the whole series. I probably will! Anyways thanks for your reviews! I really appreciate them!
Review! NO Flames! C+C accepted!
