Chapter 3
……………………………………………………………………………………….
"They have invaded the village of Draconis."
The room stayed silent for a few seconds, before the news blew over.
"They've what!" Gwendal exclaimed, standing up. His eyes flared up, and his face turned a deep shade of red.
"They've taken over Draconis, sir." The soldier cowered back. He was shaking terribly and he was actually close to whimpering.
"Are you sure?" Yozak glared at the soldier.
"Fuuma, are you sure it is the Banderas?" Gwendal looked down at his desk.
Fuuma nodded weakly.
"Dismissed." Gwendal growled.
"Yes sir." Fuuma retreated, scurrying out of the room.
"That is not possible! There was no sign of it!" Yozak thundered, angrily. He had just been there, how could he have missed it. There had been nothing. No singly clue or rumor! No one had mentioned them at all!
"Damn it!" Gwendal snarled throwing his chair at the wall. Gwendal could not believe they had let that happened. How could they have not seen something like that happen? Too many things were coming up and Gwendal was not sure he could keep up.
"What happened?" Gunter came in, rushing over to Gwendal.
"I heard a crash, is everything fine?" Conrart came in. Wolfram scowled as he stormed into the study room followed by a guilty looking Yuuri and an amused Murata.
"They have taken over Draconis." Gwendal clenched his eyes shut. Gunter looked at Gwendal worriedly. He knew Gwendal was blaming himself for it and there was not one could say to make him think otherwise.
"Sir Voltaire, I take full responsibility for that. I did not do my job correctly." Yozak spoke up.
"No, there was nothing you could have done. The Banderas are known for their secretive ways." Conrart comforted Yozak, but Yozak just looked down. Conrart sighed, knowing very well that both Yozak and Gwendal were beating themselves up for something they could not have stopped.
"Are the villagers okay?" Yuuri turned his worried eyes towards Gwendal.
"They are for now. They will not harm any one, not until they are sure it is the only way to go." Wolfram scoffed.
"Well, why don't we hold an audience with them?"
"Because they don't do those things. They either get it, or they kill until they get it. Simple minds, really." Wolfram sneered.
"No, there will be no blood spilled." Yuuri scowled.
"There is no other way of going about things, wimp."
"Yes, there is, Wolfram." Yuuri glared at Wolfram.
"Not everyone is good, there are people out there that are evil!" Wolfram snapped.
"I can see that." Yuuri growled as he engaged into a glaring contest with Wolfram.
"Gwendal, do we know their plans?" Gunter asked. He was hoping that the Banderas would not choose to start a war. Too many people were killed last time, and he was not looking forward to loosing more people.
"No, all we know is that they are in Draconis." Gwendal muttered.
"That means nothing can be done until you know for sure." Murata spoke up.
"Correct, Geika. We cannot decide how to react unless we know what exactly is going on." Yozak concurred with Murata's observation.
"There will be no war, though." Yuuri reminded them.
"Shibuya, we still need to know the circumstances before we hold a meeting." Murata reasoned.
"True, we need to know what is really going on here, before things get out of hand." Conrart pinched the bridge of his nose.
"We need our best spy to find out for us." Murata sighed, knowing it was the only choice they had at the moment.
"Your compliments are worth more to me than you'll ever know!" Yozak stood up.
"Sir Voltaire?" Yozak directed his attention to Gwendal.
"Yozak." Gwendal sighed, knowing what Yozak was going to say. He was hoping he wouldn't, but there was nothing that could stop Yozak right now, not even Conrart.
"I ask for the job of spying on the Banderas in Draconis."
"Yozak, I do not believe it wise to send our best man." Gwendal couldn't help but try to get Yozak out of going. .
"Sir, I am the best. If I cannot do it, no one can. We all know it."
"Yozak, is it not dangerous for you to go alone?" Conrart spoke up. Yozak turned his head, blue eyes meeting worried brown. "Captain, that would just put more people at risk. I can do it." Yozak tried to reassure Conrart, even though he knew it was no use.
"I believe we all need time to think this through." Gunter spoke up, tugging Gwendal away from his desk.
"I say we meet back here later in the evening. After everyone has things through and cooled down. Yozak, if you really feel up to it, than you'll be sent." Gunter ordered, taking control of the situation. Gwendal leaned in on Gunter, letting Gunter take him to his room and take care of him.
"Gwendal is so lucky he has somebody!" Yozak grinned. Gwendal was lucky that so many cared for him, he just did not notice. Yozak shook his head, unable to fight the smile on his face. He just hoped Gwendal would fare well after this whole mess with the Banderas blew over.
"Yozak." Conrart cut into Yozak's thought.
"I'm going, Captain." Yozak said firmly, before walking out of the study.
"You should have faith in him." Murata glanced at Conrart. Conrart didn't say anything, but his tensed shoulders gave him away.
"Excuse me, Your majesty." Conrart smiled at Yuuri, before strolling out of the study.
"Wimp! Papers!" Wolfram pushed Yuuri over to the desk.
"Hey! wha!" Yuuri squeaked, all thoughts of war forgotten for the next few hours as Wolfram pushed papers to him.
Murata shook his head, a secretive smile planted on his face as he walked out and to the garden.

The room felt cold and not even the knitted animas all around the room could warm it up. Darkness seemed to stain the walls and the corners of the room. Gunter shuddered as he helped Gunter over to the bed. Gunter could feel his heart clench painfully, as if someone was twisting his heart. Gwendal was looking worst as time passed and he had no idea what to do about it. The thought of his Gwendal, suffering, it angered him.
"Gwendal." Gunter sat next to Gwendal, running his hand through gray locks.
"Gunter, I never thought I would be this affected." Gwendal muttered, leaning back onto Günter's chest. He never thought he would have to deal with the Banderas ever again, but that did not turn out as planned, he thought bitterly.
"It was expected Gwendal. No one holds it against you; actually, everyone is glad that you are finally showing how bad it has affected you." Gunter muttered, resting his head on Gwendal's shoulder.
"Mother, we'll have to tell her."
"I know….I know…but for know, just take it slow."
"I can't! There are so many things! We have to be ready!" Gwendal growled, standing up and pacing the room.
"There is nothing you can do if you don't calm down." Gunter scowled.
"I can't! There is so much to do! Mother! Yozak! Heika!" Gwendal hissed frustrated.
"Gwendal. Let things go. You cannot take care of everything, and people have to learn that you will not always be there." Gunter muttered, standing up and hugging Gwendal.
"I know, but."
"No buts, Gwen. You are going to relax, and knit! You promised to knit me a lion!" Gunter smiled as he pushed Gwendal over to the chair.
"Yes, I did." Gwendal gave a slight smile.

"Yozak." Conrart called out. he knew him talking to Yozak was going to be useless. He knew Yozak very well, and nothing could stop Yozak at the moment. Also, he could not just give up. He'll talk with Yozak and make him see how dangerous this job was going to be. He had to warn Yozak and make him see….he had too…..
"Conrart." Yozak muttered, kneeling in front of his wardrobe.
"Are you sure about all this?" Conrart muttered as he walked over to Yozak's bed.
"There is no one else." Yozak sighed, raising his head and looking up at Conrart. His blue eyes swirled with mixed emotions of worry and guilt.
"You could get caught."
"That is a risk I always run."
"You've heard the stories, Yozak. You know." Conrart looked apprehensively at Yozak.
"This is why I can't let anyone else go. Captain, you understand." Yozak stopped, and looked down at the floor. Silence settled upon them.
"It isn't your fault, Yozak." Conrart cut in, knowing exactly why Yozak was going through with this. It is the exact reason he would do a thing like what Yozak was doing.
"Yes, it was. I did not do my job well." Yozak hissed, standing up and dusting his pants.
"You did it fine, Yozak. Not your fault that the Banderas are that good."
"I know it isn't, but I need to redeem myself." Yozak ran a hand through is hair and sat down next to Conrart.
"By putting your self in mortal danger? By getting caught? By dieing!" Conrart asked, aggravated, fighting the anger down.
"Conrart, we both know our jobs are dangerous. How is this job different from the rest?"
"They are evil, sadistic bastards! They have taken enough from my family, and they are not taking you." Conrart growled, before letting out a deep breath and calming down. it would not do anyone well for him to loose his temper.
"Conrart, I'll be fine. No one is going to take me away or at least not against my will!" Yozak winked causing Conrart to glare at Yozak.
"Just kidding! I won't hook up with anyone and leave my Captain! Especially when said captain is handsome and strong!" Yozak grinned, standing up and grabbing his bag.
"Yozak, I can't change your mind."
"No you cannot."
"Promise me?"
"Anything, captain."
"Promise me that you'll come back."
"Hai, Conrart. I promise you, I'll be back before you know it." Yozak smiled, sincerely.
He was rewarded with a sincere smile from Conrart.

"Gwendal, how you feeling?" Yuuri asked as Gwendal stumbled into the study.
"Been a lot better." Gwendal muttered, rubbing his eyes.
"Gwendal! You don't look well." Wolfram looked up and frowned when he noticed Gwendal's state.
"Thank you, really." Gwendal scowled, dropping into one of the chairs tiredly.
"Sir?" Yozak came in, bag slung on his shoulder. An annoyed Conrart followed behind Yozak.
"You are serious, than?" Gwendal sighed, knowing Yozak was going to go through it, no matter what.
"Things happen for a reason." Murata came in, a vase full of flowers in his hands. He smiled and placed them on the desk.
"I thought some flowers could liven up the place." Murata explained.
"Excellent idea, Geika!" Yozak winked at Murata, who winked back, to Conrart's annoyance.
"Yozak Gurrier, you shall go and find out about the Banderas' plan. Report as soon as you have the information." Yozak nodded and bowed.
"I'll be seen you all later!" Yozak waved, stopping to kiss Conrart's cheek before rushing out to the stables. Conrart's eyes widen with shock, fingers touching his cheek.
"Things happen fro a reason." Murata smiled his mischievous smile, before retiring to his room.
"Weller?" Wolfram spoke up, feeling like he needed to say something.
"Hmm?" Conrart looked at Wolfram. Honey brown eyes had lost their shine and this caused Wolfram to frown. He was use to seeing the kindness and love in those brown eyes, it was unusual when they were not lit up.
"He'll be fine." Wolfram stated, leaving no room fro contradictions.
"We cannot do anything else until Yozak reports. Wolfram, Yuuri, and Conrart, please do try to rest." Gwendal smiled at them, before standing up and leaving to his room.
"Finally, he is resting; too bad it had to be because of the times." Conrart shook his head, before wishing Wolfram and Yuuri a good night and heading to his room.

Yozak smiled as he petted his stallion. His only company and his one true companion through the worst of times. Yozak had a feeling, a bad feeling. He could tell his horse also felt uneasy, but they had a job to do.
"Shh, one more ride, my love. Do not let me down, now." Yozak muttered, mounting his horse.
"Let's go." Yozak shot one last glance up at the castle, before taking off towards Draconis.
………………………………………………
Protect him, and let him come back to us safely. Conrart looked down from his window and kept on staring until Yozak was gone from his sight. He knew, his heart told him that things were going to change. As he stared out, he hoped the feeling was wrong. Yet he couldn't the stop the dread that seemed to over power him. Something was coming…He knew it…..
