Wolfram couldn't believe the wimp had stormed out on him like that. How could he leave me in the middle of the ballroom floor? What was he thinking? He seemed to be having a good time. That wimp, when I get my hands on him, he will wish that he could be flushed back to earth again. Wolfram search for what seems like an eternity for his love. No one in the castle seems to know where the king is at. Wolfram stopped one of the maids and asks have you seen Yuuri around. The maid gave Wolfram a hesitant look. Answer me, have you seen Yuuri. Wolfram was now getting extremely annoyed and impatient with the lack of answer. If you do not answer this instant I will make sure you are on toilet duty for the rest of the month. Hesitantly the maid pointed a finger towards the direction of Yuuri and Wolfram's bedchamber. That good for nothing Wimp, leaving the party to get some rest, didn't he think they were tired as well. Without as much as a thank you to the maid, the blond prince headed toward the direction of his love. The maid was left standing there with the most heart broken look on her face, knowing full well what will happen to the blond prince. It was beyond her power to stop him; she only hopes that his heart will be able to mend with time.
Wolfram arrived at their bedchamber. The blond twisted the knob and found that is was locked. Skillfully picking the lock, Wolfram opened the door. Wolfram was ready to give Yuuri a piece of his mind for dismissing him so easily earlier. Yuuu….. Wolfram's voice caught in his throat. His heart felt like million of tiny daggers stabbing and pricking at his fragile heart. Tears automatically sprung up to the emerald orbs. Before his very eyes, his love panting in ecstasy, with a woman beneath him moving with Yuuri in the same motion he was producing. Wolfram as quickly and quietly has possible left the room making sure the door closed without a sound. Wolfram couldn't move; he didn't know what to do. He body started to convulse uncontrollably. Tears fell one by one; staining his porcelain face.
This is not happening, this is all a dream. How can this be happening? He said he loves me. He said I was his one and only. Why, why is he breaking my heart? Why Yuuri, why do you have to be so cruel?
His head was spinning, he couldn't breathe. He leaned against the wooden door to support himself. His head hung low. Wolfram's stomach was churning more than any sea sickness that he has experience so far. Without warning, Wolfram legs gave out. The blond prince's heart has been shattered by the person he loves most in the world. Wolfram cried to his heart's content. Wolfram's body convulse with every heart wrenching sob. Minutes passed by; Wolfram felt numb, he couldn't think, he couldn't move, his heart hurt, his eyes stung, his throat was sore. The beautiful, snobby, strong willed Wolfram was reduced to nothing more that a pile of tears. Suddenly an image of his nightgown so carelessly discarded on the ground by the two flashed before his eyes.
So, that is what I am to you. I piece of clothing that can be thrown away like garbage, being stepped on by you without as much as a second thought. I shared that bed with you for years, yet my love is nothing but something you can throw away.
Soft chuckles escaped the blond, turning into a genuine laugh, then slowly dieing down to chuckles again. Wolfram threw his head up, looking at the stars, tears still flowing.
So, this is what it is like to have your whole heart pulled out and stomp on.
Again, soft chuckles escape the blond prince.
"I understand now. I understand everything."
Wolfram got up walk down the corridor away from his room. Before turning the corner, Wolfram gave one final look back and softly whispered "Goodbye, Yuuri my love."
Yuuri had collapsed directly on Adelinda. Due to his weight and Adelinda damaged lower region, she couldn't even move away from him. Adelinda was hurt mentally and physically. She never expected Yuuri to be so harsh. She would have given herself to him willingly. Why did he do what he did? Afraid of waking up Yuuri, Adelinda could only cry silently to herself.
Yuuri began to stir, something was wrong. Someone was beneath him. Where was he? Managing to creak open his hazed induce eyes, he notice a mop of blond hair that was too long to belong to his prince. Once the hazed cleared around him, he saw a very naked and distraught girl beneath him. Yuuri jump out of bed like it was on fire.
"Adelinda, what are you doing? Why are you in my room?"
Adelinda could only roll into a fetal position and cry even harder.
Yuuri suddenly realize he was standing in the middle of the room in his birthday suit, he quickly grab a pair pants of the floor to make himself decent. He then noticed the room was littered whit his clothing and Adelinda's as well. The sheets were stand with blood and semen. Images of what happened earlier flash before his very eyes; he finally realized what he had done, Yuuri stomach churned freely inside of him. He quickly ran over to the basin and heaved out whatever contents that was in there. Yuuri was completely disgusted with himself.
After the dry heaving has subsided, Yuuri willed his body over to the bed to check on the emotionally distraught blond. What he saw almost sent him into another dry heaving fit. Adelinda was curled up into a fetal position. Dry blood stain clung between her legs. Tears flowed freely. Yuuri didn't know how to apologize and comfort the girl. If pulled the covers on the girl to give her whatever dignity he could back to her.
"I am so sorry, Adelinda. I don't know what happen. I will go get Gisela."
Wolfram and Yuuri left the ballroom some time ago. Conrad was getting concerned.
"Don't worry, captain. Wolfram should have found the king by now and should be making this right again. Leave them be. This is a party after all."
Yuuri walked into the ballroom. Trying to discreetly as possible to find Gisela; he spotted her talking to another healer. Yuuri quickly walked up to the two and grab Gisela by the arm and guided her out to his room.
Gisela saw Adelinda still in bed. The girl hasn't moved since Yuuri left. Gisela lifted the sheet off the girl and examine her injuries. She quickly healed it.
"Don't worry Heika, her physically injury has been healed, but her emotional injury will take some time. This will stay between us."
Yuuri gave a slight nod to the healer before she exited the room. Yuuri walked over to the Adelinda and try to fiercely apologize for what he has done.
"I will take full responsibility for my actions."
Due to the party, many of the guests were just heading on their way home even if it was way pass noon the next day. Conrad, Gwendal, Gunter, and Yozak took care of the send offs. Yuuri showed up when most of the guess where gone.
"Heika, you do not look good, are you feeling well."
"I'm fine Conrad; it was just a long night."
"Heika have you seen Wolfram?"
Yuuri heart clenched painfully with the mention of the blonde's name.
"No, I haven't seen him since the party."
"That's strange; he went looking for you after you left yesterday."
"Don't worry; the royal brat can take care of himself."
It has been two days since anyone has seen the blond prince. Yuuri was worried out of his mind. He ordered soldiers to look for the prince. He can't let anything happen to the blond even though he could never be with the blond again. He just hopes the blond is safe.
Meanwhile, Adelinda has fully recovered from her physically injuries. Her mental ones are slowly healing as well. Yuuri told her he will take responsibility for his actions, but they both knew it wasn't entirely Yuuri's fault. Something happened to him that night and he was determined to find out what it was.
There are rumors in the castle regarding Yuuri Heika and Adelinda floating around the castle. Gwendal made sure the rumors where put out as quickly as it started. Gwendal knows that the disappearance of Wolfram was related to the so call rumors. He was going to get to the bottom of this; Conrad was already on step ahead.
After two dazed in a drug induce haze, Wolfram finally decided what his own fate should be. He returned to the castle.
Once back at the castle, the prince headed to Gwendal's study. Wolfram gave a light knock on the door, and waited to enter. Come in, what the respond. Wolfram entered the study and noticed Gwendal was not alone. Both Gwendal and Conrad gave each other a distress look; they have never seen their baby brother looking like hell froze over on him. The blond usually keep mane was facing each and every direction, emerald eyes red and swollen. Porcelain skin shows traces of tears. His pristine uniform has traces of dust and grim all over it. Both Gwendal and Conrad voice simultaneously, "Wolfram what happen?"
"Wolfram where were you? What happened to you, you went missing for two days."
Wolfram looked at his brothers, and gave a little chuckle.
"Nothing really happen, I just needed some time to sort things out. I finally realized what a child I was. Holding onto something that never belonged to me; doing everything to possess him, throwing tantrums; rage in jealously; going so far as to physically hurting him; forcing that person to be mine. He was never mine from the beginning. It was all a dream; he never wanted me like that. He only saw me as a friend. But because I pushed and pushed, he relented somewhat in making me happy. I made him say things and do things he never wanted or truly believed in. He was never happy to be with me. I can see it in his eyes, the disgust when I held him, when our lips meet. I force himself to endure the torture because I was the brat prince that wouldn't take no for an answer. Why, why was a so selfish? Why did I not see it? Why did I force the issue? He was so kind to me, he was there when I needed a friend. All I did was make him turn himself into something that he could and would never be. I am finally able to let him go. I finally understand why even after five years, he couldn't be with me physically."
Wolfram straighten himself up, stopped himself from trembling and looked directly at his brother and voice the request that he so desperately believed was the right decision to make for Yuuri's sake.
"Gwendal, I, Wolfram von Bielefield stand before you today, requesting the engagement between His Majesty, Yuuri Shibuya be dissolved."
"Are you sure Lord Wolfram von Bielefield?"
With a smile, Wolfram responded with a very calm "Yes".
"Gwendal, I entrust that the paperwork and announcement will be done by tomorrow mourning."
With that, Wolfram calmly walked out of the room leaving two very stunned and angry brothers behind.
Gwendal turned to Conrad and ask what just happen? Conrad only shook his head. Both brothers did not ever believe that Wolfram will willing dissolve the engagement, let alone be so calm and almost unemotional about it all.
"Gwendal are you going to go through with the request?"
"Wolfram has requested it; it cannot be undone."
" Whatever happened between those two, only they can resolve it. Conrad stay out of it."
Wolfram walked towards his old room. Never had he thought that he could be so calm in calling off his engagement. Wolfram's body, mind and sole were numb. He could not feel pain; he couldn't believe his heart was not aching and ready to explode like before. All that was left is the image of the two entwine as lovers in the bed that they had shared on and off for the last five years. Remembering the scene almost brought Wolfram to tears once again. Wolfram fought hard to suppress any feeling that was ready to surface. I must be strong; this will not kill me. I am a soldier of Shin Makoku; I will protect her and her King. Wolfram chanted this over and over in his head until all feelings were subdued. Wolfram reached his long forgotten bedchambers. He opened the door and looked around. Everything is as it was when I left it. Wolfram smirked at the realization that he is once again alone. Pain started creeping up his chest. Wolfram again suppresses any anger and pain that was forcing itself upon him. He was not going to blame anyone except himself for what happen. Its time to grow up Wolfram von Bielefeild.
The blond woke up when the sunlight filtered into his bedchamber. Wolfram for a split instant forgot why he was in his own bedchamber again, until realization hit him with full force once again. A sudden flash of Yuuri in total ecstasy invaded his mind causing Wolfram to clutch his heart painfully. Again Wolfram mentally used all his strength to suppress all the horrible feelings that were threatening to surface. After gaining his self control, Wolfram headed towards the baths. Wolfram would make sure he looked and acted the prince that he is even though today will prove the hardest on him. His pride is the only thing he has left.
Before entering the dinning hall, Wolfram took a deep breath to steady himself to do the most difficult task he had ever been face with; breaking off the engagement with Yuuri. Before he was able to enter, "Wolfram," Gwendal called out. Wolfram turned around.
"I take that is the document that I requested."
Gwendal answers with a nod.
"You will have to do the rest."
Gwendal entered the dinning hall greeted by the rest. Wolfram enters, looking a straight at his king, who looked uneasy. Adelinda looked down at the floor when she saw Wolfram. Wolfram took his customary position next to the Yuuri. The maids served the breakfast to everyone. Wolfram reaches over to grab a fork accidentally touching Yuuri's hand that was on the table. Wolfram saw Yuuri noticeably flinch at the accidental touch. So this is how much he is disgusted with me. Wolfram internal swallowed the pain rising within him again. Once everyone was finished with their meal and was about to leave, Wolfram stood up.
"Before you leave to attend to your matters for today, I would like to make an announcement."
All eyes now focus on Wolfram. Wolfram turned to Yuuri with determination in his eyes and asked the following question that Yuuri never expected.
"Yuuri Shibuya, I, Wolfram von Bielefield is dissolving our engagement, do you accept?"
Wolfram reached into his pocket and pulled out the scroll that Gwendal gave him earlier. Yuuri stared at Wolfram in total shock. Yuuri knew that he had no right to refuse after what happened between him and Adelinda. Yuuri understood if he took the scroll from Wolfram's hands, it would mean that he accepted Wolfram's decision.
"I refuse; I will not take the scroll from your hands," was Yuuri's reply.
Squeezing the scroll tighter, Wolfram calm himself enough to continue.
Wolfram leaned over and whisper to Yuuri so only he could hear.
"I know" was the two words used.
Wolfram backed away slightly, seeing only shock in the midnight black eyes. Wolfram smirked, so there is no remorse or sadness.
I guess it is just a shame that I know.
Internally Wolfram was hoping to see some sort of remorse but was unable to detect any due to his own eyes being clouded. I ask again,
"Yuuri Shibuya, I, Wolfram von Bielefield is dissolving our engagement, do you accept?"
Yuuri's hand was trembling controllably. His heart clench with pain, he was unable to see clearly. Tears were threatening to fall. He didn't know what to do.
He knows, he knows, he knows.
Then I tug on his uniform, brought him back to reality. He looked over to Adelinda.
"I will take responsibiliy for my actions."
Yuuri turn back toward Wolfram, he reached out his hand for the scroll. Greta screamed out, "NO, YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING, STOP!" Before his hands clasped on the scroll, Yuuri voice out, "I'm sorry my Prince." Once said, the scroll was taking from Wolfram hands.
"Thank you Heika. Gwendal, the announcement can be made, it is official."
With that Wolfram walked out of the dinning area, leaving the stunned witnesses behind. Greta was now being comforted by the ex-queen. Yuuri clutched the scroll to his heart. Tears started to fall without him even noticing it. Yuuri felt a gentle hand on his shoulder, without looking up, Yuuri pleaded to everything, please leave me alone. With great concerned but respected the request, everyone ushered themselves out leaving the grieving king to himself.
