Hehe I'm happy to get reviews :D
Chapter 2, You shouldn't have said that
"How in the hell did these get behind us?" Wolfram yelled, drawing his sword.
"It doesn't matter now. We have to fight." Gwendal huffed, jumped down from his horse's back and drew his sword too.
The group of attackers parted in two. The bigger part attacked the villagers, who screamed in horror and tried to run away, for nothing. The smaller part stayed to fight the four travellers, who stood there ready to fight, swords in their hands and their horses getting wild and running away.
Then the attackers reached the travellers, and their swords hit each other.
"Your Majesty! You shouldn't -" Gunter started.
"Shut up Gunter!" Yuuri grunted. "I will fight like all the others and don't you dare to stop me! And this in an order you know!"
"Like you even could fight!" Wolfram huffed while dodging a hit.
Yuuri got angry once again. "Well it's not my fault that I can't! No one ever told me I would get involved with a world full of swordsmen and crazy mazokus!"
"Rather a mazoku than a dirty human!"
Yuuri turned towards Wolfram with eyes full of anger. "What do you even know about humans? You only care about yourself!"
"That's not true!" Wolfram yelled back.
"Yes it is!" Yuuri yelled. "Humans do care about each other!"
"Well you don't at least!"
"Well if it's you then I really don't care what happens!"
Wolfram turned to look at him with a shocked and angry look on his face. Yuuri realized what he had just said and bit his lip, regretting his words. He opened his mouth to say sorry, but Wolfram noticed a man attacking towards Yuuri from behind at the same time.
"Look out Yuuri!" Wolfram yelled and ran to push him aside.
He did make it in time to protect Yuuri, but he didn't have time to defence. The man's sword hit Wolfram instead of Yuuri, cutting very long and deep wound on his back. Yuuri could only stare in horror, before they both fell onto the ground.
"WOLFRAM!"
The man grinned and could have hit again, but then a sword went through his chest and he fell onto the ground dead. Gwendal kneeled next to Wolfram, who was lying on Yuuri's legs and panting heavily in pain. There was blood everywhere, and Gwendal looked very worried when looking at his little brother. Yuuri turned to look at Wolfram, too.
"Why, Wolfram?" He whispered.
"You… fool." Wolfram managed to say, looking at Yuuri with a small grin on his pale face. "Care or not… It's my duty to… protect you."
"But -" Yuuri started, but Gwendal raised his hand to make him quiet. Yuuri looked back at Wolfram and saw he had lost consciousness.
"You will explain me later what happened. For now, I will take him to the castle immediately and you will stay here with Gunter until the fight is over." Gwendal said and took Wolfram on his arms.
Yuuri could only stare at them, and when Gwendal turned away to leave, he said: "Wait, Gwendal… he will be okay, right?"
Gwendal looked at him, but didn't say anything. Yuuri swallowed, without knowing what to do or say. Gwendal ran away to get a horse, leaving Yuuri sit there heart bounding with fear. He didn't care about the attackers anymore, he even didn't care if someone would have tried to kill him. He was so afraid for Wolfram that he just couldn't think of anything else!
"Your Majesty!" Gunter shouted, kneeling next to him. "Are you alright? Does it hurt somewhere?"
"I'm fine." Yuuri said faintly, finally looking around him. Gunter had killed the rest of the attackers, but in the village the fight was just getting started. However he didn't want to stay protecting the villagers, not this time.
"Just… let's go back to the castle."
Gunter nodded. "As Your Majesty wishes."
And here goes… Wolfram was brave once again :)
