Before Adelinda arrival, the castle was full of laughter and joy. Wolfram and Yuuri's antics would always bring something new to the guards and maids' otherwise mundane life. Being a guard is difficult, always on the lookout, station in the same spot. If you were lucky you had another guard to talk to, otherwise you were by yourself. But when Wolfram and Yuuri were together the guards would always expect some sort of show from them. Granted, most of the time Yuuri was busy running away from the irate blond and the blond threatening bodily harm on the king; still the guards looked forward to the daily entertainment. Now they stand and wait, nothing happens. The maids are no longer able to fantasize about what goes on behind the close door between Wolfram and Yuuri. Wolfram and Yuuri is no more. The castle is eerily quiet.
"Doria, Sangria, come here, look, Yuuri Heika is carrying Lady Adelinda in his arms."
"Lasagna move over let me see."
"Here, Doria."
"Oh Shinou, that is Lady Adelinda in Yuuri Heika arms. What is he thinking? I'm glad Lord Bielefield isn't seeing this."
"What are you three doing?"
Sangria, Lasagna, and Doria, immediately straighten up and bowed to the blond Prince.
"Nothing" all three replied.
Wolfram looked to the spot where they were staring. He maintained his composure seeing Yuuri carrying someone else in his arms. The blond felt his heart clenched painfully, but maintained his stone cold exterior. Wolfram walked away from the bowing maids and headed towards the castle gates, he had patrol duties to attend to.
"Did you see that, Lord Bielefield didn't' even flinch at the sight of Yuuri Heika holding Lady Adelinda" voiced Sangria.
"There's no hope for them after all," all three said in unison.
Sangria, Lasagna, Doria were in the kitchen enjoying their dinner when Dorcas joined them.
"Dorcas, we heard Lord Bielefield went on border patrols today."
"That's correct Doria, Lord Bielefield will not be back for at least a week."
"I can't believe Yuuri Heika would have allowed it."
"It was Yuuri Heika's decision. Did you know Lord Kleist tried to delay Lord Bielefield's departure today? Lord Kleist kept on reminding Lord Bielefield what the proper procedures are in case an emergency should come up. He even went as far as to instruct Lord Bielefield on how to wrap up an injury. Lord Bielefield did not take kindly to Lord Kleist's education. Lord Bielefield barely missed Lord Kleist with his Mazoku flames. Needless to say Lord Kleist immediately stopped his rambles. Lord Bielefield and his personal soldiers rode out of the castle walls soon after. Then minutes later; Yuuri Heika showed up only to see the back of Lord Bielefield's stallion as he rode off. Yuuri Heika looked so dejected. Sir Weller had to comfort Yuuri Heika."
"Yuuri Heika is so incorrigible."
"Don't say that Sangria."
"It's true, he loves Lord Bielefield, yet today we saw him carrying Lady Adelinda to her room. Lord Bielefield saw the whole thing. Yuuri Heika is only given Lady Adelinda the wrong idea. When will he learn that sometimes being nice is not the way to go."
All four let out a simultaneous sigh.
"Psshh. They are here today again."
"Let me see, Dorcas. You're right. Poor Lady Adelinda, she doesn't even see it when Yuuri Heika is thinking about Lord Bielefield. Look, he's getting that far away look in his eyes again. Lady Adelinda is oblivious to the fact Yuuri Heika is not even listening to her. She seems all too happy in her blissful fantasy with Yuuri Heika. I feel sorry for her."
"Doria, until Heika tells her himself, she will only cling to him."
"How long has it been since Lord Bielefield left of for border patrols?"
"Let see, oh, it been five days already. It means Lord Bielefield should be returning in the next couple of days. Maybe then Yuuri Heika wouldn't look so lonely."
"Dorcas, what's going on? The guards are uneasy.
"Didn't you guys hear; Lord Bielefield's troops were attacked. Lord Walde sent Sir Weller and his troops to search for Lord Bielefield. Yuuri Heika is beside himself. Lord Walde had to physically subdue Yuuri Heika from going to look for Lord Bielefield himself. From what I hear, Lord Kleist is guarding Yuuri Heika's bedchamber so he can't leave. Yuuri Heika is so distraught over the news of Lord Bielefield; the castle guards can hear him screaming at Lord Kleist to let him out at the other end of the courtyard. Lord Kleist calmly stands there watching over Yuuri Heika."
"Any new Dorcas?"
"Unfortunately not, Sir Weller and his troops searched for Lord Bielefield for three days, without any luck. Sir Weller delivered the news to Yuuri Heika himself. Yuuri Heika is not taking the news to well. He threw Sir Weller and Lord Kleist out of his bedchamber. We even heard that Yuuri Heika punished Lord Walde because he locked Yuuri Heika in his bedchamber. The great sage himself had to calm Yuuri Heika down, but even the great sage couldn't stop Yuuri Heika from searching for Lord Bielefield. Yuuri Heika is going to search for Lord Bielefield himself once the preparations are completed."
"Lord Bielefield please be safe, Yuuri Heika can't take much more heartache."
