Chapter 13
Yozak, Conrad, Wolfram, Yuuri, Murata and I rode on four horses to the outskirts of Small Simmaron, near the border of Big Simmaron.
"Would we even be allowed inside?"
"I know that if I ask, Sara will let me in." Yuuri said, without a shadow of a doubt.
Not by anime coincidence but by Sara's planning I'm sure, Berias was outside the gate, waiting for us. Yozak went ahead and when he came back, told us they were waiting for us. Sara and the small council of Big Simmaron.
"I think this time I should stay behind." Conrad said. We all stopped and looked at him.
"But Big Brother!"
"Why?" Yuuri asked.
"I don't want to stand in the way. If his highness Saralegui does become the King of Big Simmaron as well, he could ally both countries to the Demon Kingdom Alliance. If I were there, they would know what could possibly be and Saralegui won't have a chance." He explained. If I remembered correctly, he decided to trust Sara's good intentions if Yuuri did unconditionally.
"There is still too many. His majesty, his fiance and her highness may pass."
"Sounds good, let's go!" Yuuri said. Wolfram continued, driving the horse with Yuuri behind as usual while I hoped onto Berias' horse. He was incredibly intimidating to say the least. This time I'll stand there and look pretty.
We galloped onto the castle grounds were there were many carriages park. And guards.
"Is that normal?" Yuuri shrugged in response
Berias led us to the throne room were Sara and the council as well as a few guards were.
"I hope you don't mind I invited a friend,"
"Sara!" Yuuri greeted happily. My eyes widened slightly and my mouth hung slightly opened. He was beautiful. He was male, his jaw looked strong but his chin was pointed and his skim was free of any marks or blemishes. His hair looked like it was made of thin strands of gold.
"I'm so happy you're here," He greeted Yuuri, holding his hand between the two of his.
So charismatic...
"And you are...?" He took my hand and kissed the back of it.
"Uh..C-caren. I'm a friend."
"A friend of Yuuri's is a friend of mine." He said cheerfully, flashing a wide smile.
"Likewise." Maybe I should act like the others.
"Can the hearing begin," An old man grumbled.
"I was explaining that I believe it's time for Small Simmaron and Big Simmaron to be one again. We are both human countries and we both want to live humans lives in peace, agreed? And the Demon Kingdom supports it as well." Sara gestures at Yuuri and Yuuri nods with a smile on his face.
"Thank you for your suggestion, it will be taken into consideration." The host, it seems, proceed to take a sip.
"Regardless, I wish Big Simmaron well." He said raising his glass. The others with a glass in their hand did the same and took a sip. Except for Sara, he hesitated. Then almost everyone dropped to the floor, out cold.
"It's a trap!" Sara exclaimed and pushed Yuuri back, Berias moves in front to protect them.
"Your highness, run!" He says. Sara grabs Yuuri's hand and runs out of the room.
"Hurry!" Sara urges. Wolfram and I run after them, hot on their tails.
"Wait a minute! Do you have anything to do with this?"
"I was invited here, and to bring a friend if I wanted." Sara explained.
"Where are we going?! Do you even know where to go?!" I asked. It seemed that he was just going in a random direction; he ran out and went one way without looking at the other. We rounded a corner.
"Stop right there!" The castle guard in front of the group said.
"I'll handle this, Caren you protect Yuuri!" I give a sharp nod and continue running behind, staying close. I don't know what happened then. I was running on the green carpet then something crashed into my side and I fell through a door or something. While still on the floor I raise my head. It was a poorly lit, blue hallway. I rush to my feet and tried to find where I fell from. No matter where I banged on the wall, nothing moved.
"No! Help! YUURI!"
