AN:
Hello, I know that it's been a really looong time since I have updated GSQ. I do apologize for that but I promised myself that I will finish this long fanfic. Please bear with me as it might take awhile. I already half forgotten about this and how I wanted the story to progress. I'm slowly getting it back on track.
As I reviewed my past additions to this fic, I started editing some of its contents. (primarily spelling and misuse of certain words and scenarios) I hope you like it. I will also insert image links for imagination purposes along the way. Since FF doesn't support placing images mid chapters.
Please use this link to view image references since FF doesn't allow mid chapter images. Please also be reminded that all the photos in the pinterest link are NOT mine. All the credits goes to their original owners because they made really amazing photos that I can use for inspiration.
The board contains images of how I imagine Branwen's looks, Her Clothes etc. I will be continuously updating this together with the fic.

Disclaimer: I do not own Kyou Kara Maou and any of its characters. This story is made solely because I can't get enough of Conrart and Yuuri.
Yuuri's POV
Never in my life have I imagined myself in a different place, moreover they say that I am supposed to be the great demon queen.. It's night time here already, everyone is asleep. But I find myself twisting and turning under a soldier camp bag in a room with no windows and no other exit than the door Lord Weller_ I mean Conrart is guarding ugghh, not to mention the smell eek! How could they let me sleep here? Although I do get guinter's argument wherein someone might assassinate me in my sleep so they let a soldier stand in my place. But telling me to rest assured and sleep peacefully with these thoughts is still really impossible though.
Sleep really doesn't seem to come to me. So I got up as quietly as I could so as to not wake the two men in the room. I wanted fresh air after all that happened, a moment to think for myself. As I neared the door, the sleeping figure by it moved an inch causing me to hold my breath and stand stunned secretly praying that he wouldn't wake up. Alas! Success! I was able to go out into the starry night alone.
I contemplated a lot. The scenery here is really different from the one in Japan. It doesn't have electricity to supply houses with lights or aircon. No cars or trains. But because of the illumination, I am able to see the beauty of the night. Why exactly am I here? What am I supposed to do?
No matter how I think about it, this place is really calming. I still wonder what Japan would look like if deprived of the false lights. Home, my home. I miss my home, mom, dad, shouri.. I don't know where I am. I want to go home. As the thought came to mind, tears flowed from my obsidian orbs. I never felt this lonely before. The place where I am now, is welcoming indeed it feels kinda nostalgic. But_
My thoughts trialed off when I felt a hand on my shoulder squeezing me as if giving me comfort. I looked up and saw Conrart's concerned and worried face. At the same time, he showed like he understood...true enough he did for he immediately told me that even though I'm feeling lonely and that even though you are feeling and wishing that this is only a dream, it will be okay for he will stay with me no matter what happens. His next words were "Yuuri, you love new things and this is a new atmosphere and new people for you. So don't cry majesty, why not enjoy this world and explore its greatness? Only then can you decide if it's a fantasy or a reality. Face head high and look only at what lies ahead for I will be behind you all the way."
What he told me was true. I shouldn't be moping around. I should be just like me, who loves adventures! I'm not one to think and I just do what I want! My resolve is back and it's thanks to him. I held his hand that comforted my shoulder and tried to anchor myself up. Hahaha! He didn't expect it and almost fell forward. Thank kami for his reflexes!
"Hahaha! Thank you Conrart!" smacking him lightly on the shoulder
"Not at all your majesty! You're always welcome. Now, shall we go inside? You should rest now, we are going to have a long day tomorrow."
He guided me towards the hut where we were sleeping and closed the door behind us. I lay on the soldier camp bag again and filled my head with the excitement of a new adventure and what Conrad has said to me.
Only then I was able to rest my head and fell to slumber.
Conrart's POV
Sleeping with an eye open is easy for soldiers like me. I was sitting by the door with my eyes closed when I heard footsteps approaching the door. It was too light to be Guintar's footing then it probably belongs to her majesty. "A night walk I see", then i stirred but kept it seem that i was asleep when I felt my right hand go a bit numb from staying in the same position for too long. I chuckled to myself when I saw her reaction to that. She probably wants to be alone so a few minutes is not that bad. Good thing Guinter is past asleep or else she will never hear the end of it lest she will be forced back inside again. A few moments have passed and she's still not back in the cabin. I've decided to go look for her.
Thankfully she did not go far. I walked silently towards her so as to not disrupt her thoughts. When I was near enough, I saw her shoulders shivering and she was crying. I can't help but feel pity towards her. Everything here is new to her and she must be in shock. I understood how she felt. I racked my head for words to console her and placed my hand on her shoulders. The look on her face tells me that she was startled.
"Yuuri, you love new things and this is a new atmosphere and new people for you. So don't cry majesty, why not enjoy this world and explore its greatness? Only then can you decide if it's a fantasy or a reality. Face head high and look only at what lies ahead for I will be behind you all the way." was the only words I can come up with even though I know that no explanation or words of comfort can really ease her mind right now.
She stayed silent as if contemplating what I said and we stayed like that for a few moments when suddenly she grabbed my hand as support for standing up. I almost lost my balance but I was able to fight the force and bring her up. She thanked me and patted my shoulder lightly while chuckling, probably thinking of what might have happened if I wasn't able to balance myself a while ago. She looks better now and she is no longer crying.
"Hahaha! Thank you Conrart!" smacking him lightly on the shoulder
"Not at all your majesty! You're always welcome. Now, shall we go inside? You should rest now, we are going to have a long day tomorrow."
After a few exchange of words, I ushered her back to the cabin, watched her squeeze herself to the soldier bag and lay to rest. I smiled to myself and resumed my post earlier and grabbed a wink of sleep as well.
