By the way, thanks a lot for the reviews!
Part III: The Perfect Plan - Commence!
"That idiotic wimp!" Wolfram screamed as he threw one of the pillows of his and Yuuri's bed towards the wall with force. "That stupid… idiotic… jerk of a fiancée!" He wanted to tear his hair off his head in frustration, but of course no one would want his pretty blonde hair gone so we'll leave it as a wish that he could never have. He was mad… again. Now why am I not surprised?
Do you want to know the answers?
Easy. Our little Wolfie has been angry ever since part one, so I'm sure that this wasn't really so much of a surprise to see him angry.
The blonde prince of fire leaned on the wall before sliding down to the floor onto his knees. He hugged his knees as he hid his head under. He merely glanced downwards as a blank look came upon his face. 'Why don't you just call the engagement off, you wimp!' Did he really mean that? Did he really want their engagement to be called off? He has two choices.
Choice number one stated that he could call the engagement off. Once the engagement is off, he would be able to lead his life back to the way it normally was before Yuuri came along. He could go back to his own territory. He could go back to the normal Wolfram von Bielefeld – the Wolfram who was also called as the Little Spoiled Master. The Wolfram who only did what he wanted. The Wolfram who didn't really care for anyone but himself. The selfish Wolfram. The spoiled Wolfram. The old Wolfram. But of course, that would mean that there was very little chance that he would ever see Yuuri again and he would lose the right to love him.
There was also choice number two which stated that he could just allow the engagement to continue. If the engagement continues, then that would mean that he has to endure more of the painful things that his fiancée unknowingly gives him. It would mean that he has to continue protecting the wimp even if it costs him his life. It would mean that he has to stay by Yuuri's side despite the fact that he gets annoyed and hurt every time he sees Yuuri "flirting" with everyone everywhere. But of course, that would also mean that he could remain by Yuuri's side. He could stay by him. He could protect him. He could still love him.
Both were hard choices, but he only has one to choose.
He was hurt. Choice one might be able to help him with that by staying away from Yuuri.
He was in love. Choice two would be perfect for that.
Love includes pain. Choice one might be able to solve that.
However, at the same time, despite the pain, love also includes joy, which is a reason that choice two is also good.
He closed his eyes tightly as he clutched his head with both hands. He hates Yuuri for tormenting him, but at the same time, he loves Yuuri for everything.
He was so confused. He didn't want to go back there. He glanced at the nearby window. It was starting to get dark and he was sure that dinner would be starting right now. He wouldn't be there. And since he wasn't there and he actually wouldn't be, he knew that Yuuri – being Yuuri – would go and look for him.
And where was the first good place to look for?
It was in this room.
He didn't want to face Yuuri.
No.
He couldn't.
He stood up, and with pained eyes, left the room towards the security of his own room, which was on the other side of the palace.
The five royals sat down on their places on the table as they waited for the food in silence. Each royal was having a different expression on their faces. Mr. Wrinkles was frowning, as he has always done and will always do. Mr. Beautiful Hair was starting his look which clearly stated 'Bad Omen'. Mr. Enticing Eyes was having this serious expression like he was contemplating on something, in which he actually was. Ms. Mirror Blonde was having this annoyed expression since she had been looking for her blonde twin all around the palace but got lost in the process since she forgot that fact that it was her first time in the castle, while the maou – dubbed as idiotic fiancée by mirror blonde and wimp by Wolfram – was having this forlorn look on his face, wanting nothing to do but look for his currently absent fiancée.
No matter how relieved Yuuri was to escape his fiancée's wrath, he was worried. At the same time, he was confused. Why was he confused? The scenario just a few hours ago happens every single day. He would be chatting with other people, giving the peasants friendly gestures, and then Wolfram would come alone and drag him away while calling him a cheater, a traitor, a jerk, and other words synonymous to the first three words. However, despite that, he would always come for dinner. He would always find a way to regain his dignity and enter the dining room before sitting down on his seat right beside Yuuri as if nothing happened.
But today was different.
He didn't come.
The tension in the air was so thick that it could be cut by a knife, however, no one among the five nobles dared to cut it… except one.
"Your highness! It's been a long time ever seen I've seen you!" A seemingly high-pitched voice exclaimed as the sexy, huge chested, ex-maou entered the dining room before hugging the said maou to death. In what way? Well… she was suffocating him by putting his face into her bosoms – literally.
For a while, the tension in the air was dispersed as the ex-maou's happy tune gave a little lightness to the atmosphere. After suffocating the maou, she immediately went to Gwendal next hugging him before going next to Conrad. Last but not the least she went towards the blonde, who she thought was actually Wolfram. "Wolfie darling, how many men had been lusting after you while I was gone?" She asked as she hugged her supposed to be son but actually long time lost daughter.
The girl sighed. "I had ninety-eight men and a hundred and twelve women who lusted after me, mother." She answered. Celi blinked before separating herself from her youngest child in confusion.
"Wolfie, why do you have a feminine voice?"
The girl sighed before massaging her temple. "It would seem that even my own mother forgot about my existence after disappearing for ten years, huh?"
It was then Celi's eyes widened as she finally recognized.
The girl smiled slightly before sitting down. "Yeah mom. It's me, Willa. I thought that you would have realized it by the time I actually answered your question. If it was Wolfie's case, he would not have answered that, but I actually counted." She said before sighing.
"In that case, welcome back dear!" Her mother said as she kissed her forehead. "It's great to have my only daughter back safe and sound!"
"Thanks."
"By the way, where is Wolfie?"
And the tension in the air came back as no one answered the question.
"Your highness?"
Yuuri sighed as his eyes remained downcast. "Wolfram and I… well… we had a fight… He ran off, and we don't know where he is. At least we're assuming that he's still in the castle."
"I tried looking for him." Willa stated. "But I got lost."
"Oh? A lover's quarrel, huh?" Celi stated. "That's pretty normal so don't worry!"
"Our quarrels were normal… until now, Lady Celi." Yuuri told her. He sighed as he saw her wondering glance. "Wolfram wanted to call the engagement off."
"Oh that's horrible!" Celi exclaimed as she placed her hands on her lips in shock. "Wolfie said that?"
"And in quite an angry way too I'm afraid, Lady Celi. He sounded serious about it. And it's my fault!"
Gunter stood up and went towards his majesty who looked like he was about to kill himself. He kneeled down by this side. "Your majesty, please calm down. I'm sure that Wolfram doesn't really mean that. He wouldn't want to leave your side. He loves you, your majesty." He stated. Yuuri glanced at him in shock.
"He does?"
Gunter nodded as a gentle smile appeared on his lips. "Yes your majesty. More than you would ever know."
Yuuri's eyes softened. "Wolfram… loves me…"
"About time you figured it out." Willa stated as she glanced at him with an annoyed expression that could rival even Gwendal's frown. "Stupid wimp…"
"I am not a wimp!" He retorted. For a split second, he thought that it was Wolfram who just insulted him, but he was wrong. This person wasn't Wolfram, it was his twin.
"If you're not a wimp, then go look for him."
Yuuri glanced at his feet. "B-But I…"
"–don't love him? Give me a break! It's far too early to decide that. Just go and look for him! I can't always do the job of looking for him now, can I?" She inwardly narrowed her eyes. She could actually hear someone murmuring something about her being correct with her last sentence – especially with her bad sense of direction.
"But…"
"Just go!"
And at that, Yuuri stood up and ran out of the room, leaving everyone in complete silence. However, within that silence lays smiling lips.
"Well… that was interesting." Conrad stated as he glanced at his younger sister who merely smirked. "You made him look for Wolfram."
"Well… he still would look for him even if I didn't provoke him to." She replied. "It's obvious that he's worried for Wolfram. It's seen on his eyes. He has the eyes of a person who is very worried for someone. Those are the eyes of a person who would give everything for the person that he cherishes." Her eyes were met with confused eyes. She knew what they were saying: Did Yuuri have those eyes a while ago? She merely smiled.
"A while ago, no. It wasn't shown outside, but I could feel it inside."
Gunter looked confused. "How did you know that was what we were thinking?"
She grinned. "I control air, remember? The air around sent me the vibes." She then closed her eyes. "And those were the same vibes that told me what lies underneath the idiotic maou's eyes. He loves Wolfram too. He had just not realized it yet."
Gwendal glanced at you with narrowed eyes as he finally spoke for the first time in part three. "And how do you suppose he would realize it?" He asked.
Once again, she grinned. "That's easy! By playing matchmaker of course! I already have the perfect plan. This is one plan that would completely show Yuuri how much Wolfie means to him!"
Celi smiled brightly. "Matchmaking? That sounds fun! I'm in! So… what's the plan?"
"Before I give out my plan, are you all into this?"
Replies?
Conrad: As long a Yuuri and Wolfram will be happy and safe, I'm in.
Gunter: As long as his majesty wouldn't be in harm's way, alright.
Gwendal: Hn. Fine then.
Celi: I'm so excited! Hurry up!
"Alright then. Here's how it goes…"
-----------
"Are you serious!"
"Yup. I definitely am. There's no need to freak out, Gunter."
"But… But… But that would put his majesty into harm's way!"
Willa sighed. "It's just an act, Gunter. No one will get hurt. Just emotionally scarred."
"No! His majesty will be scarred!"
A sigh. "I was kidding. No one would get hurt."
A grunt. "I'm out of here." Gwendal stated before standing up. "You're too much like Anissina. Both of you are sick people."
She pouted. "Aww… Gwendal, you're mean!"
There was one thought on everybody's mind: 'I can't imagine the real Wolfram looking like that.'
Conrad placed a hand on his chin in thought. "All other thoughts aside, I could say that it's a good plan. Quite a severe plan, but still good."
How is a severe plan a good one anyway?
"However, there is just one thing that concerns me." He stated.
"And that would be?"
"Who would act it all out?" Conrad asked as he faced his younger sister. "We certainly wouldn't be able to do it. The reason why that is so is quite obvious. We need other people to do it." He stated. He slightly tilted his head in confusion as his sister started chuckling.
"Oh that's easy. I already planned it all out. I already have the actors on stage and on the job." She stated before closing her eyes in amused arches, scaring the hell out of her older siblings whether they show it or not. Willa with those happy arches always meant disaster. "The play will start in a few minutes."
---------
"Wolfram! Wolfram! Answer me!" Yuuri screamed as he ran around the castle. His first destination had been the room that they had been sharing, but he found no sign of his blonde fiancée, which worried him. Wolfram would be normally there inside the room, waiting for him with a pillow at hand, which was prepared solely to hit his face with. But there was no sign of anything living inside.
He didn't know why he suddenly felt this undying desire to see him. He didn't know why he was so desperate to look for him. He didn't know why he was so worried. Yes. It was true that this would be the first time that Wolfram acted this way, but why was he so worried?
"Why am I so worried?" He thought to himself.
'There is no other person that I hate the most than a person who doesn't even see what he has.'
He didn't really mind that at first, but he realized one thing as well. If someone doesn't see what he has, that something would he hurt and might leave. For example. If you have a pen but you didn't even know that you had one, the ink of the pen would dry in time, and when your finally realize that you had that pen, it would be too late.
That was when it struck him.
He had Wolfram by his side… protecting him… loving him ever since. But he didn't even know that. It was more like he ignored that fact. Now, Wolfram is somewhere deeply hurt, and Yuuri knew that he was the cause of it all. He had to apologize. He had to make amends. He must!
"Wolfram! Where are you!"
"Your majesty?" A female voice called as he stopped. The maid glanced at him with worried eyes. "You've been looking for Master Wolfram, haven't you?"
Yuuri nodded. "Yes! Do you know where he is!"
The maid nodded. "I believe so, your highness." She answered. "I saw Master Wolfram go inside his room a few hours ago. He looked so sad and – your majesty!"
"Thank you for that information! I'll repay you somehow!"
"You're welcome, your majesty."
"Wolfram, please be alright… Please be there!"
"Wolfram!"
Wolfram was shocked as his tear-stricken eyes glanced at the door of his door. There stood Yuuri, all soaked in sweat, and panting from the long run. Wolfram narrowed his eyes as he glanced away before wiping his tears with his bed blanket. "Yuuri… why are you here?" He asked coldly. He felt Yuuri walk up to him as he saw the said maou kneel down in front of him. "What do you want?"
"Wolfram, please forgive me."
The blonde was in shock at what he heard, but he kept that emotion within himself. "What is there to forgive?"
Yuuri shook his head as he held his fiancée's shoulder with desperate eyes. "Wolfram, I'm sorry. I was wrong. I ignored you all this time. Please forgive me. I don't want to loose the people who are important to me." He stated.
Wolfram merely glared slightly at him before pulling back. "You're sorry? How do I know that you're saying the truth! I suspect that Willa just told you to apologize, didn't she! She's the one who told you to do this, and of course, being the nice idiot that you are, you complied! You just want me to feel better! You don't actually mean any of what you're saying!"
Yuuri's eyes softened. Wolfram was dreadfully hurt by everything, and it really was his fault. It was his entire fault…
"Wolfram…"
"You're just doing this for my sister! I know that you like her!"
Yuuri shook his head. "No I don't!"
"You liar! How could you not like her? She's pretty. She's skilled. She's kind. And she's a girl! That was what you wanted, right?"
Yuuri once again shook his head. "No Wolfram! You're wrong!"
"No! Lies!"
"But Wolfram…!"
"Get out Yuuri!"
"Wolfram…"
"Your majesty, get out."
Yuuri sighed as he glanced at his feet. He turned around and wordlessly headed for the door.
"Wolfram… I'm sorry."
And with that, he closed the door, leaned on the wall, and cried.
--------
Wolfram clenched his fists as he gritted his teeth. It hurt him more… saying those words to Yuuri. He actually believed that the black haired boy's apology was sincere, but he knew that things just weren't meant to be. He knew that he wasn't really meant to be with Yuuri. Even though it hurts, he should just accept that fact.
"Yuuri… I'm sorry."
"Oh? Are you?"
Wolfram's eyes widened as he turned around. "Who's there! Augh…" Something hard collided with the back of his neck as he fell down to the ground in pain. The last thing that he saw were two pairs of booted feet in front of him before he lost consciousness.
"Y-Yuuri…"
--------
'Y-Yuuri…'
Yuuri's eyes snapped open as he heard Wolfram's voice. He didn't know how he heard it since he was already a couple of feet away from Wolfram's door. But he couldn't be wrong with what he heard. He definitely heard Wolfram's voice… in pain!
He made a mad dash back towards the blonde's room as he slammed the door open.
"Wolfram!"
His eyes widened at the scene in front of him. There was Wolfram, unconscious, hanging by one of the men in black's shoulders like a sack of potatoes. He gritted his teeth at the sight in front of him. "Put him down!" He ordered.
One of the men laughed as they both glanced at him through masked eyes. "If you want to see your beloved fiancée again, go to the Windy Plains tomorrow night… alone."
Yuuri narrowed his eyes. "What if I refuse?"
The other one smirked. "We don't need to answer that, but we will. This pretty fiancée of yours will definitely die."
And with that, the two masked men jumped off the window of Wolfram's room, down to the thick forest. Yuuri ran towards the window and glanced below. He gritted his teeth as he saw no trace of the two men in black who kidnapped Wolfram. He clenched his fist angrily as he eyes burned with determination.
"Wolfram, you have been saving me ever since. Now it's my turn. I will not forgive them for what they have done to you Wolfram. I won't. I promise you, Wolfram. I will save you."
------
"And the play starts now."
