Disclaimer: All characters of Kyou Kara Maou are not my property. This is fan fiction. The only thing I can call mein eigentum is the plot itself.
Synopsis: The whole fic is going to be in first person perspective, meaning the story is to be unfolded by the main character of the chapter. The entire story will just focus on one event, but to be told by different characters on their POVs. Will be consisting of five chapters; the first four chapters depict Gwendal's, Gunter's, Conrad's, and Wolfram's view of Yuuri, respectively, while the last chapter depicts Yuuri's thoughts of himself and the four characters. Tee-hee!
Chapter II: GunterI'm running around the castle corridors, carrying a towel. The mere thought of it sends me right into extreme joy.
Heika's back!
I hurriedly find Wolfram and Conrad. Every time heika's being summoned here, we three always fetch him.
"And where did he end up now?" asks Wolfram.
"I was told he's in a forest lake just outside the capital," I answer.
"Well then, let's go," says Conrad.
As we are about to leave, we see Gwendal pass by.
"Aniue, we're going to fetch Yuuri now!" Wolfram tells him.
"Then go. Do what you must," says Gwendal coldly. We then ride our horses and straddle off to where heika is.
Ah, heika! Thinking of him makes me crazy! The first time I met him, I already knew he was the one we had been waiting for! Those black eyes, the hair as dark as the night, and the black clothes he wore! He's a true royalty! And his attitude and ideals in life are oh, so amazing! I'm so happy I am serving him. He is the true leader we've been yearning for.
Yet not all of them feel like I do. There are the likes of Gwendal, who seem to obey him just because he is their king. They don't like his ways of leadership. They're hesitant in serving him. They just don't see heika's greatness, or are avoiding to see it.
There's also the Sou race. They hate him for being a Mazoku. I think they hate him most, for he's our king. And for that, I pity him so much. If I can only be like Conrad, ready to be there for him all the time…
We then arrive at the forest lake. I see our young king standing up from the lake, soaked to the bone. I run to him and drape the towel around him.
"Heika, here. It's bad for you to catch a cold."
He smiles at me. "Thanks, Gunter."
We return to the Blood Pledge Castle. On the corridors, we see Gwendal.
"Yo, Gwendal!" heika greets him. But Gwendal eyes him eerily, causing heika to freak out again. Poor heika. To always be scared of that man…
Wolfram asks his older brother where he's going. Gwendal says he'll go to his room for 'spiritual cleansing'. Then he goes on his way.
The three of us, however, accompany heika to his quarters first before we go to our own jobs. As heika enters the room, I ask him if he'll be all right here.
"Of course!" he answers me without doubt, "You sound like I'm not yet used to this. I've been here for a long time already, so I'm okay. Besides, Conrad is here with me, so what can possibly happen?"
Hearing that assures me it's all fine. So I leave him to do my job: sorting out papers he needs to sign.
At my room, I get the papers needed to be sorted out. I do this every time.It's not that this is my real job, but if I don't do it myself, who else will? Since I don't go with him every time, this is one of the ways I can show heika that I am his loyal subordinate.
Subordinate.
This is how I see myself with him. Yet when he's around, he doesn't treat us like we're just expendables. He treats us like friends. Around him, I feel very important. I feel worthy. Heika has always been like that. He's friendly to anyone, especially to the common people. He never wants anything bad happening to anyone important to him. He's ready to sacrifice everything for their sake, for our sake, for the sake of the whole kingdom and even our neighbors. Even to the humans. Of which I'm proud of him. He doesn't want to initiate a war. He wants everything to go out peacefully. Hurting others isn't in his philosophies. The only time he fights is when he's in danger or when he turns into the maou. The latter can be dangerous, as he is ready to kill lives that he thinks he should. Nonetheless, I am happy of his entire personality. He's the best king we ever have.
I finish sorting out the papers and am about to go to heika, but as I walk down the corridor a soldier stops before me and tells me something.
"Sir von Christ, heika wants to see you in the counsel room."
Hearing this, I immediately go to the room. What made him call us? Is it because I haven't reported to him properly yet? Maybe. When I enter the room, I see heika and Gwendal seated at the table.
"Oh, Gunter! You're here!" heika says to me, smiling his godly smile!
That smile! That brilliant smile! I finally see it again!
I can die now…
…Wait, if I do die now, how about my promise to always serve him? Who will report to him of the events here in the kingdom when he's gone? Who will sort the papers to be signed? Who will continue the love I feel, and solely I feel, for heika?
Set aside dying for now. I still need to help heika lead his kingdom.
I still need to sort out his papers…( )
