Chapter 6

……………………………..

Yozak scowled as he tried opening the door, but nothing. He had been trying to find a way out for hours, now. The windows were too small and none of the soldiers came close to the carriage.

"What am I going to do?" Yozak thought out loud. Estella was still, thankfully, asleep.

"Hey! You two! We are almost there!" a soldier called out.

Yozak scowled, as he was able to hear crowds and other noises.

"Great, too late to run now." Yozak mumbled.

"Estella. Wake up, come on." Yozak gently shook her. Estella groaned, slowly sitting up.

"We there?" Estella asked through a yawn. Yozak chuckled ad nodded.

"We here, in the great Banderas castle." Yozak frowned.

"It wasn't that far." Estella frowned.

"No, Draconis is the closest village near their castle. Draconis was going to be one of theirs, but they were stupid and lost it to us." Yozak smirked. Estella nodded and looked out the window.

"Is that it?" Estella pointed up at the huge castle up ahead.

"Yes, that would be it." Yozak looked at it grimly.

"Why is it all the way over there?" Estella asked, noticing the castle was a far distance from the town.

"Safety and noise." Yozak explained.

"Oh." Estella nodded eyes still glued to the window.

The village was full with colors. People were seen walking back and forth, some carrying freshly picked vegetable and others walking along with their horses. Mothers were seen holding hands with their kids and workers were just coming out from work. Even if it was getting dark, the place was still buzzing with life.

"It looks pretty nice." Estella smiled.

Yozak did not say anything, still too worried with their present predicament to pay much attention to the town.

"Yozak! It is huge!" Estella cried out, for they had just left the town and were making their way to the castle itself.

"Why yes, one of the biggest castles you'll ever see." A voice spoke from next to the carriage.

"Diego!" Estella grinned.

Yozak couldn't help the smile. Estella was looking better. He knew she wasn't really happy or any where close to being over her parents death, but she was strong.

"Do not worry. The prince is very nice." Diego smiled. Yozak snorted as he raised the curtain up higher so he could also see the castle.

Estella was not kidding, the castle was huge. Yozak couldn't see exactly how big, but probably bigger than back at Shin Makoku.

"Huge, huh?" Diego smirked.

"Hmm. Yes, it is pretty big." Yozak accented as their pace began to slow down.

…………………………………………………..

"They would not find anything there, any how." Gwendal grunted, reading Yozak's letter over.

"It was moved, not too long ago." Gwendal sighed, closing his eyes and resting his head on the desk.

Yuuri looked worriedly at Gwendal. He never associated that action with Gwendal, Yuuri always thought more of someone his age not wanting to do schoolwork.

"Was it really important?" Conrart asked, voice a bit strained.

"No, nothing that should be searched for." Gwendal frowned, already trying to think why they would try to get the item.

"May be, they didn't to know what it was. They thought it was something big and decided to get it." Yuuri piped up, feeling a bit left out since Murata was still on his way back from the shrine and Wolfram was having a talk with Lady Cecile.

"That is probable. That is why they did not assault anyone; they were not sure what they were looking for." Conrart, agreed for it made sense.

"Yes, now we have to find out what they are planning on doing next." Gwendal could feel a huge migraine coming over him.

"Anissina, was that necessary?" Gunter whined as Anissina burst into the study followed by a panicky Gunter and a very shocked Wolfram.

"She knocked our mother unconscious." Wolfram looked at Anissina accusingly.

"Yes, well, it was either that or she was going to destroy the whole room." Anissina scowled.

"Did you have to hit her so hard?" Gunter squeaked.

"Okay, so I hit her a bit too hard, you don't think she'll get mad because of the bruise, do you?" Anissina winced just thinking about what could happen when Lady Cecile woke up.

"You knocked her out?" Gwendal groaned, he knew he should have stayed in bed that day. Things were just getting more interesting by the minute. He had thought the day was going well, until later in the evening when the horse arrived.

"Well, she won't be freaking out." Conrart sighed, thinking on the positive.

"Yes, see!" Anissina grinned.

"Lady Cecile did not take the news well." Yuuri looked at Wolfram grimly.

"No, she did not. Just the mention of the Banderas got her riled up; imagine when I told her the whole thing." Wolfram flinched.

"Oh, she is mad at you. She said something about how you should have tied Yozak down and something, I kind of tuned out after a while." Wolfram rubbed his temples, annoyed.

"Oh." Conrart looked down, eyes darkening at the mention of Yozak's name.

"Conrart." Yuuri did not know what to say. The whole study went silent, unsure of what to say.

"Well, I came at a wrong time." Murata's broke the silence.

"Murata!" Yuuri grinned, in relief.

"We have problems." Yuuri shifter nervously.

"So, I see." Murata looked at all the down faces.

"Lady Cecile is right now unconscious because of her incapability to calm down. We are still not sure what exactly the Banderas are planning. Yozak has been taken." Yuuri trailed off by the last news. The only signed of surprise that Murata showed was the widening of his eyes, besides that, his face showed complete calmness. It was like nothing had happened and the events were normal everyday things.

"Oh. What is our plan, than?" Murata raised an eyebrow.

"We have no clue." Gwendal groaned, once again feeling incompetent.

"We have to do something about Yozak." Conrart spoke quietly.

"What about the Banderas? We still don't know what to do about them." Wolfram frowned.

"We do not have Yozak to find out!" Anissina pointed out.

"We can't do much without information and we do not know what happened to Yozak." Gunter frowned.

"What, than? We can't just do nothing." Murata scoffed.

"Everybody, Silence!" Yuuri commanded. Every body stopped and looked at him.

"Conrart, I'm sorry but we cannot do anything right about Yozak. It is dark already; anything will have to be done tomorrow. Right now, I need you to go to your room and rest. That is an order." Yuuri said, leaving no room for objections.

"Gwendal, you are tired. There is nothing more that can be done, it is too late. You will be going to your room and sleep. Gunter, you will make sure Lord Voltaire gets a most needed sleep. Anissina, you will look after Lady Cecile. Murata, please rest and tomorrow we'll figure something out. Wolfram, I'm tired so we are going to go to bed." Yuuri spoke and no one dared to disagree. Conrart nodded, smiling slightly at Yuuri.

"As you wish." He said with amusement, bidding everyone good night and leaving to his room. Gunter was next, helping Gwendal and ushering to Gwendal's room. Anissina just smiled apologetically before walking off to look after Lady Cecile. Murata just grinned and waved good night before walking off to his room.

"Wimp, you never cease to amaze me." Wolfram couldn't fight the smile.

"Is that a good thing or a bad thing?" Yuuri asked, confused.

"Hmm, not sure yet." Wolfram smiled, taking hold of Yuuri's hand and dragging him to their room.

"Come on wimp, too much things going on. I just want to sleep and forget." Wolfram sighed as they made it to their room.

"Yeah…I just hope Yozak is okay." Yuuri sighed sadly.

……………………………………………..

Conrart sat on the bed and stared numbly at the wall. Yozak was gone, and he had no idea what happened to him. Yozak could be dead or he could still be alive.

"Yozak, you promised." Conrart whispered, closing his eyes and clenching his fists.

"Why?" Conrart muttered, falling back onto his bed.

"You were supposed to be back before I knew it." Conrart muttered, looking lifelessly at the ceiling.

"I do not even know if I'll ever see you again…talk to you again…." Conrart muttered, hugging his pillow close. His heart felt like it was breaking. Yet, he couldn't do anything. He felt so numb and cold, it was almost unreal.

Memories plagued his mind. Over and over, he remembered the times he spent with Yozak. The tears that ran down his cheeks went unnoticed by him. He just laid there, unmoving. He did not even know when darkness finally took over. It was not release though, for he was trapped in painful memories.

……...

"Conrart!" Yozak cried out laughingly, eyes sparkling with joy. Conrart turned around unable to fight the grin that spread on his face every time he saw Yozak.

"Yozak!" Conrart laughed as Yozak threw his arms around his neck.

"I missed you! I thought I wouldn't see you again!" Yozak sniffed a bit, having been imagining the worst about Conrart.

Conrart just chuckled and wrapped his arms around his friend.

"I won't ever leave you Yozak! Best friends! Remember!" Conrart pulled slightly back from Yozak, giving Yozak his most sincere smile. Yozak just beamed.

"Forever!"

"Conrart! There you are!" one of the maids called out to him. Conrart frowned, looking sadly down at Yozak.

"I have to go. I'll come see you later, okay?" Conrart pleaded. Yozak's spirits were dampened, but he smile none the less when Conrart asked if he could come around and see him. Yozak nodded vigorously; annoyed that Conrart had to ask such a thing. Conrart flushed sheepishly, apologizing before hugging his friend and rushing off back inside the castle. Yozak just smiled and went off back to his work.

………………………………………………………

Yozak grabbed Estella, pulling her into his arms as the door to the carriage was opened.

"Come on." Diego smiled, opening the door for them.

Yozak hesitated, nit he knew there was no other way, so he slowly got out.

"Welcome, to our home." Diego smiled, motioning over to the castle.

"Yeah yeah. Move it." Salvador snarled.

"You will show more respect Salvador. Remember, what I can easily do to you." Diego growled, glaring at Salvador. Salvador snarled, but backed down.

"I am the princes' guards, and as such we have power over lowly soldiers as Salvador." Diego glared at Salvador, who just glared back but remained quiet.

"Diego?" Sebastian rode up next to them. Yozak just glared at him and pulled Estella close.

"They will be well taken care off." Diego scowled. Sebastian looked at Yozak for a brief moment, before nodding and ordering the rest of his soldiers to keep on moving towards the barracks.

"Come, it is late. You two must be tired." Another voice spoke up.

"Vincent!" Estella grinned.

"Hello, now follow us." Vincent motioned them to follow.

Yozak frowned, but he trusted the two guards. They were the only nice ones there. Besides, he trusted them more than he did any of the others.

"Tomorrow, you'll meet the prince. From then on, you are out of our powers and will be under the prince's watch." Vincent informed them as they made their way inside the castle. Estella looked at everything in awe. It was beautifully decorated. Paintings of friends and the royal family were hanged. Vases with beautiful flowers were laid in certain places, giving a fresh aroma. It was quite breathtaking.

"This place is so wonderful!" Estella whispered, amazed with all the things and how huge it was.

"Hmm, I've seen better." Yozak scoffed, mind trying to memorize as much as he could.

"Here we are!" Diego pointed to a room.

"Okay." Yozak looked warily at the door.

"This is for Estella." Vincent pointed to another room.

Estella looked fearfully at the room, not wanting to be separated from Yozak.

"Do not worry, guards will be placed in front of both doors. They are our men, so no harm will come to either of you." Diego reassured them Yozak sighed and knelt down in front of Estella.

"Remember, you are brave, okay?" Yozak kissed her cheek. Estella sniffed but nodded.

"Good, now run off and get some rest." Estella nodded and followed Vincent to her room.

Yozak sighed and followed Diego into his room.

"This is a guest room?" Yozak asked, as he looked around.

"Well, no. These are the closest rooms to the prince's room. Also the farthest room from the general's, for he likes to sleep as close to the barracks as possible." Diego informed him, seeming to be knowledgably about Yozak's discomfort with Sebastian.

"You rest and relax. Things will be okay." Diego smiled, before leaving Yozak on his own.

"Yeah right." Yozak muttered. He had mixed feelings about the Banderas. Some of them were nice, while others he just wanted to rip apart.

Yozak plopped down on the bed. He looked around the room. The windows were very secured. The chairs and curtains were made out of satin. The bed was soft and huge. Small trinkets were placed here and there, giving it a elegant yet warm atmosphere.

H couldn't think of a way out for Estella and him. He could do nothing that could risk her, he wouldn't' do it.

He thought he wasn't going to get much sleep, but it seemed he was really tired. It didn't take long after snuggling under the covers for him to fall asleep. The last thought he had, was that he hoped Conrart was doing well.

……………………………………………………

Conrart turned to the other side. All of the sudden, Conrart felt relieved, like he knew everything was okay. Conrart smiled in his sleep.

"Yozak…." He muttered in his sleep, relaxing as the darkness seemed to dispel from him and only nice warmth was left surrounding him.

THE END!
