Author's notes: I am dreadfully sorry for not updating for so long! I thank you a lot for your reviews though! School took its toll on me and gave me a mind block. Sorry once again... well, here's my update then!
Part IV: Doubts
"Willa, are you sure that it's going to be alright? Will your brother be alright? Will heika be alright?" Gunter asked as he walked besides Willa who was taking long strides to avoid the silver haired Yuuri obsessed freak. "Willa? Willa! Willa! Lady von Klause! Please wait a minute!" And finally, she stopped, making Gunter bump her back. Mr. Beautiful Hair glanced down at the Wolfram look-alike before him, or rather, below him. He was just way taller than the young female mazoku in front of him. Well… eighty-two years is considered young if you're a mazoku. Anyway, let's go back to the story. The female blonde turned around and glanced up, her eyebrow twitching as she immediately noticed the difference in height. Gunter glanced at her with a half worried, half confused expression. "Lady Willa? What's wrong?" He asked.
The female Wolfram crossed her arms as a frown appeared on her face. Her eyes narrowed as her green orbs met with Gunter's purple ones. "Darn it, Gunter. You're too darn tall!" She exclaimed, murmuring profanities that could – and would – make the best profanity speaking person proud. Gunter sweatdropped before waving his hand in front of her face experimentally, which successfully managed to cut her trance. She blinked before glaring at him. "So… what do you want, Lord Gunter?"
Gunter blinked and sweatdropped, wondering if she even heard a single word that he said. He cleared his throat before giving out a desperate look. "Willa, will this be alright? Where did they take Wolfram anyway? Where did the culprits go? Where did they take him? I have to know in order to be prepared for any miscalculations that may happen." Willa sighed before running her hand on her hair. "Willa, can those people even be trusted?"
She gave out a sly smile before placing her hands on her hips. "Yes Gunter. Everything will be alright." However, even after hearing that statement, Gunter still went on another one of his 'bad omen' speeches. She sly smile became an annoyed one as the air around her feet started swirling – a warning that she was starting to get annoyed. She pulled the front of Gunter's clothes before pulling his face near her own as her annoyed orbs met with his own. Gunter saw this and slammed his mouth shut, knowing what it meant. "Another word from you Lord Gunter, and I will not be able to assure you the safeness of this plan of mine…" She hissed.
"But Willa…"
"Not another word, Lord Gunter. Remember who you're talking to…" Gunter finally remained silent. He should remember that he's talking to Willa von Klause, and she was known by many as a woman who always kept her word, whether it is bad or not. If she gives out a threat and you break the deal, you will suffer the consequences from her regardless of the own consequences of her own actions. "It's early in the morning, and midnight has just passed. The actors should have just finished their part by now, and I'm sure that Yuuri-heika would be desperate to save Wolfie by now, which is the plan." And with that said, she gave Gunter one last sly look before the wind around her encircled her, making her disappear into thin air with another grin.
The silver haired advisor sighed. He had no idea how to read her mind. Unlike her twin brother, she was a hard character to read, but if he knew her by now, she must have gone to the place where Wolfram was taken. He sighed once again before turning around, eyes widening as he saw his royal highness running towards him with a desperate look in his eyes. The said maou stopped as he held his royal advisor's arms. "Y-Your majesty…"
"Gunter!"
Gunter gulped. This was all according to what Willa had predicted. He already knew what Yuuri was going to say, though he was hoping that he would be wrong. "Wolfram… he's…" The double black shook his head. "Gunter, tell me where I can find Willa!"
The silver haired advisor took another gulp. "Why are you looking for Willa, your majesty?" He asked. "And what were you saying about Wolfram?" He inwardly apologized to Yuuri since he actually knew everything about what the maou was talking about. He wanted to tell him what was going on and that he would be glad to help him. However, the female blonde's menacing grin invaded his thoughts. He wanted to help his kind, but he was afraid of what the girl would do. The female mazoku who controlled the wind could easily start a storm in Shin Makoku when she's mad. He didn't want to risk having another crisis in the country. He was sorry, but he had to act. And besides, he also does believe that it's time for Wolfram and Yuuri to be together.
"Willa would be the only one who could help me now, Gunter. She's the only one who could locate Wolfram." Yuuri told the silver haired man. He knew that he could ask Ulrike to help him, but he didn't want to disturb the shrine maiden at this hour of the night. He narrowed his dark orbs as he stared at his royal advisor's orbs. Gunter wanted to cry. Why were all these happening to him? Why was he always the one who had to choose between difficult decisions? I 'I'm sorry, heika, but for your sake and Wolframs', I must ignore your pleas.' /I "Heika, Lady Willa is already asleep inside her own chambers. I am sure that you wouldn't want to wake her up now."
Yuuri glanced down as his shoulders slumped in disappointment. "Well… maybe you're right…" He glanced away with a distanced look on his eyes. "I have to deal with this alone…" He glanced at Gunter with a smile. "That you, Gunter, and I'm sorry for causing you to worry. I can do this by myself." Without even waiting for Gunter's reply, Yuuri turned around and left – leaving behind a determined aura to rescue the one he loves.
The silver haired man glanced at his king's retreating back with a regretting look on his face. "I'm sorry… heika."
"Well… everything went well, I suppose."
"Yes it did."
"Really? Then that's good."
"Willa?"
"Yes?"
"Why did you decide to help them anyway?"
"I don't know."
"Huh?"
"I don't know."
"Why so? You should have a reason."
"Heh… What are you talking about? I have no reason to this."
"Of course you do. You're siblings."
"Maybe… maybe not."
"What do you mean?"
"I may be doing this because he's my brother, but humans and mazoku's are all by nature selfish. Somehow, I've been wondering myself why I am doing this. I don't know. Is it because I'm going to gain something, or is it for my brother? People help others because they can receive something in return, and not because they are doing it from the bottom of their hearts. Very few people with that kind of heart lives, and I have yet to see one. Maybe… maybe that's the reason I'm doing this… because I want to know if Yuuri-heika does have that kind of heart. I've been hearing stories about him from different countries – mazoku and human alike – and all of the stories that I have heard were good things about him. I wanted to know if those stories were real or not. Maybe… maybe that's the reason…"
She glanced inside the nearby room from the corner of her eyes as she glanced at the sleeping 'beauty' lying down on a bed of red roses. She slightly chuckled. "Well… whatever my reason is, I'm just glad that I finally saw my brother lying down on a bed of roses with his pink nightgown on. He does look like a sleeping beauty anyway."
Yuuri did not waste any time. That night, without even telling Conrad about what was happening, he left for Windy Plains. He didn't know why he suddenly felt that urge to rescue the spoiled mazoku, but he knew that he had too. It wasn't because he was kind or anything. Well… he is kind, but that's just not the reason. He wanted to know for himself just what was that weird feeling that he had when he saw Wolfram abducted. He knew that he shouldn't be worried. The Windy Plains was still within mazoku land, so Wolfram would have no problems in escaping the people who caught him.
He knew that fact, but still. He couldn't take the worry out of his chest. He didn't want to just not do anything to save him. He knew that he might just be a bother, but he just couldn't. He just couldn't leave him alone… and he didn't even know the reason! Yuuri was confused. He didn't understand how he felt any longer. He knew that Wolfram loved him, and he knew how much pain he had caused the blonde for not even realizing it.
Wait a minute.
Maybe that was it!
Maybe the reason why he wanted to save Wolfram so badly was because he wanted to atone for his wrongs to him in the past. He knew that reason wasn't right, but humans are naturally selfish, and he was part human after all. Yeah… maybe that was the reason…
Whatever. He's going to save Wolfram and that's that! He knew that whatever his reasons were, he would soon find out.
Conrad glanced at their maou who just left the castle gates with Ao. He knew about the plan and so in order not to cause suspicion, he scheduled himself to be on watch duty that night. He knew that Yuuri would do anything to save Wolfram, but never did he expect that the double black boy wouldn't even tell him about it. When he betrayed Yuuri before, everyone shared his pain with him. Everyone shared Yuuri's pain. Yuuri outwardly showed how devastated he was, and so everyone was there to help him. However, in this situation, he didn't even tell anyone about it. The maou kept it all to himself.
He was worried. Yuuri really is a reckless kind of person, but he wasn't normally that reckless. The maou was driven by his emotions, and unlike the emotion of despair that he felt when he betrayed him, this emotion was different – a whole lot different.
Gunter glanced outside from the glass window inside his office. He watched with worrying eyes as he saw his king dash out of the castle towards the direction of the Windy Plains. He wanted to help his king so badly, but he knew that he wasn't allowed to. If he helped his king, and told him about the whole plan, they he knew that he had to face the wrath of the wind controlling mazoku. On the other hand, with the plan in play, Yuuri and Wolfram would be able to understand their own feelings and reconcile with each other. When that happened, both of them would be happy.
But Gunter was in doubt with his own reasons of doing what he had done.
Did he go on with the plan to really help his king and his fiancée get together, or was he doing this for his own gain?
Just like Conrad, Gunter was in doubt.
"Oh this is wonderful, Gwendal!" Cheri exclaimed as she glanced outside. "Just look at his majesty… He really is all on for it to save Wolfie!" She clasped her hands together as she pressed her hands against her cheek. "Wolfie is so lucky to have someone like heika! After this plan's over, I'm sure that Wolfram would realize what love really is just as I feel it!" She exclaimed with glee.
Gwendal sighed as he rubbed his temple. "If Wolfram and his majesty end up with each other, then that would also mean that both of them would finally be… happy… won't they?"
Cheri blinked as she nodded happily, although deep down, she found herself contemplating on the two could-be results. Who will really be benefited? Did she really agree on this for her son's happiness, or was it for her own gain?
Every single one who was participating in the plan had their own doubts within themselves. They all believed that the plan was for Wolfram and Yuuri to reconcile with one another, but as they all thought about it in a much deeper aspect, they will all be benefited from it too in their own different ways.
This led them all to think…
For who was this plan really created?
End Part Four
Author's notes: I know, I know… it's weird if the story would end at the next chapter so I decided to lengthen the story itself. I'm no longer sure how long this story's going to be, but I do know that it would be longer than five chapters. I actually had a huge mind block and I couldn't get my imagination moving. I already know what's going to happen next, but I just can't get the will to type it down. Hmm…
Oh well… So… what do you think about this part? I know that there's very little action, but we had this assignment at school to make a philosophical conversation about human selfishness. After doing my homework, I thought that maybe I could add my assignment in the story for a chapter, and poof! Here it is! I hope that it's alright with you guys.
Did you like it? Did you hate it? Easy on the flames, k?
If I offend anyone, then I guess I should apologize.
Neways, reviews will be greatly appreciated!
