Chapter 12: Hope and Past (Third P.O.V) :
.
.
"LET ME GO YOU STUPID SOLDIER!" Arthy screams struggling to escape from Yozak's grip.
"It's useless Arthy. It's better not to scream and struggle unless you want them to punch you." Ezio said quietly, letting the soldiers to drag him towards the carriage without any struggle.
"Nice kid. You are better than this brat."
"I am NOT a BRAT. Stupid soldier" Arthy screamed as he hit Yozak repeatedly on the back. Yozak just walked calmly as if he didn't even feel the beatings. Yozak carried Arthy over his soldier like a potato sack. He sighed as he walked towards the carriage. Meanwhile Ezio was in a bad shape. The branches of the trees were still wrapped around his body and he couldn't move any part of his body. His hands were tied to his back. He sensed somebody looking at him. He looked up and saw Gwendal looking down at him with cold but a bit shocked eyes.
"What do you think you are looking at?" Ezio asked rudely, his eyes full of hatred. His hands try to loosen the branches but it was too tightly wound around his wrists. He then tried to use hsi wind element to cut the branches. But it only became tighter.
"It's useless. The branches cannot be cut so easily as they are controlled by magic." Gwendal sneered at Ezio. He could feel two more wrinkles forming on his forehead. The kid is stubborn; even though he knows there is no way of escape he is still trying to escape. Ezio was walking between two soldiers as he had a rare and powerful element. Gwendal was still amazed that Ezio could use the wind element. The only person Gwendal had ever seen having this element was Gunter. And Gunter too also used this element only for defense as he is a skilled swordsman. Ezio used the wind element for both attack and defense. If trained he could become very powerful.
They finally arrived at the carriage but it was more like a cage. It was like a box with open top surrounded by fence wires. He opens the door and pushes Arthy inside hardly causing him to fall. Gwendal does the same but Ezio manages to keep his balance.
"Can't you be a bit gentle?" Arthy screams at Yozak while Ezio quietly sits down staring as Yozak. He suddenly remebered something important. He got up and grips the fence.
"Where is Wolfram?" Ezio asked Gwendal as he locked the carriage door and placed a spell on it.
"Prince Wolfram? He is with King Yuri." Gwendal replied checking if the lock was secure. As he walks away Arthy runs towards the door of the carriage, trying to open it while screaming,
"WHAT? WOLFRAM IS WITH KING YURI?" Arthy doesn't believe what he heard. He is afraid that King Yuri will punish Prince Wolfram for disobeying him. On the other side, Ezio also tries to escape. He grips the fence of the carriage tightly.
" STOP IT! LET US GO!" Ezio screamed his voice full of fear. He runs toward the door and tries to unlock it.
"It's no use. They put some spell on it so it can't open." Arthy said looking around to find another way to escape. Arhty and Ezio were suddenly thrown backwards by the force of the carriage jerking foward. Arthy and Ezio began to panic.
"STOP IT! STOP THE CARRIAGE!" Arthy screamed while the soldiers ignored them. Gwendal's forehead showed another wrinkle as he got more irritated with Arthy's voice. Ezio moved around in the carriage using his wind element to try to cut the fence. But it was useless. The magic barrier on the fence was too strong to be broken.
"DAMN IT! LET US OUT. WOLFRAM IS IN DANGER!" Ezio screamed desperately as he shook the fence vigorously. Yozak looked at them with pity in his eyes. Whatever they try to do its hopeless.
"They will soon realise it is hopeless..." Yozak thought looking at the sky as he hit the reins to make the horse walk a bit faster.
Gwendal trotted side of the carriage on his horse. Realizing someone was staring at them, Arthy and Ezio looked up. They find themselves looking into Gwendal cold glaring eyes.
"What do you want?" Arthy asked harshly but suddenly a overwhelming heaviness comes over them as they slowly close their eyes and fall asleep. Though Ezio's hand still gripped the fence tightly.
"Better to make them unconsious so that my head wont explode because of their screaming." Gwendal muttered to Yozak as he sped up his horse to pass the carriage.
"So what will King Yuri do to Prince Wolfram?" Yozak asks looking at Arthy and Ezio who was sleeping peacefully, though the latter's had was still gripping the fence.
"I don't know. Probably give him some punishment. They must have already reached the castle." Gwendal replied.
"Only the two of them?" Yozak asked.
"No. With Conrart and Geika actually."
YURI P.O.V :
.
.
"I told you not to go outside Wolfram..." I muttered as I look at his beautiful face. He was sleeping peacefully like an innocent child. His hair was messy but still created an angelic halo around his face. I trace my finger on his cheeks, nose and chin. At last I touch his small rosebud lips. It was dry. I noticed that his body was thinner than before and there was a scar on his arm and leg. He had left me behind just for those children. I moved closer to his sleeping form and whisper,
"It's too dangerous to go outside Wolfram." I kissed his lips deeply and sucked his lower lip. I missed his taste very much. I laid on top of him and kissed his neck and sucked on his earlobes. After Wolfram had fainted in my arms the children had started screaming, trying to wake him up. The child with the light brown hair seemed shocked to see me while the other child, Ezio, stared at me as if I was the God of Death.
As I looked at him I remember meeting him 3 years ago.
I had saw him 3 years ago when I burnt the village. He was the only one who survived. He must've gone and told the people how bad I was. Maybe he wanted to kill me and take Wolfram. I left the castle after I came to know that Wolfram had entered the Forbidden Forest. I changed my appearance; I made myself to look like a commoner who had lost his way.
It was really not easy being a commoner. I really lost my way and had to ask the people the way to enchanted forest. Thankfully, they don't recognize me and think that I am a newcomer. As I walk around the town I realize that it had changed a lot. The memories of walking through the streets when I was a child came to my mind and I felt a sense of loss.
How long had it been since I have walked on this streets freely?
How long had it been since I watched people work so closely?
I wanted to go out and walk but I had to content myself by seeing out of the castle window.
When I sat near the town pool I saw the child with the dirty blonde hair. I remember that he was the friend of the brown haired child with Wolfram. I followed him and saw him going in the Enchanted forest. I acted as if I was lost and tired and collapsed near the edge of the forest. Though the forest welcomed me as I could use all the elements, the only way I could find Wolfram is through the child. The forest really protected Wolfram as I could not really locate him though I felt his presence.
I felt really jealous when I saw the brown haired child, Arthy, hug Wolfram. He even dared to kiss him on the forehead and said that he will protect Wolfram from the Demon King.
What a child.
But Wolfram spoiled him. I know he is just a child but I felt like they were too close for comfort. I felt very jealous. He even said he would bring them in the castle. He would give more attention to them and maybe even forget about me. Wolfram never gave this kind of loving attention to me. He would always look at me with pity in his eyes. I always hoped that he would look at me with loving eyes.
Probably he too would leave me like everyone though he promised me he wont. He too would break his promise. While we were on the forest cabin and he was sleeping I had quietly sat side of him tracing his face with my fingers. As I touch his cheeks he mummers,
" Yuri..."
I was surprised.
"Forgive me... " He whispers. How can I forgive him when he left me for this children? I whispered in his ear, "My dearest and mine. You are mine Wolfram." I make sure he doesn't wake up.
My mind back to the past.
The last time when I went outside was when I went to check the burnt village. It was a month after the village was burnt. As I expected they hated me and were scared of me. The people cursed me and the children threw stones at me until my face was completely bruised. They called me a killer and the most cruelest king ever. A person even tried to kill me with a dagger. Conrart came and protected me from them. He also got bruised and I felt guilty.
He pulled me into the carriage and apologized to me. I said nothing though as I knew this would happen. It seemed as if King Aiger was laughing on his grave as the people lost trust in me and started hating me.
The only one who still trusted me was Grandma Florist.
When I had arrived at the castle, bleeding, I found a handkerchief in the carriage. As I took it I recognize the embroidery on it as Grandma Florist.
There was a note in it which said,
"Hope you are OK My child. I will always pray for your health and hope that you will find someone who loves you for who you are."
After I read the note, I start to cry. Even though it was because of my foolish mistake that a lot of people were killed she still prayed for my health. Now I always keep the handkerchief in my pocket as a reminder that maybe, someday, someone will come who will love me for what I am. When I was small they really loved me and prayed for my health. But now everyone who had once prayed for my health fear and hate me. The cold glares they gave me changed my heart.
I used to be kind and carefree but now I have to be hard heated and brutal. No one could harm or hurt me. Or so I thought until I heard the prophecy.
The prophecy stated that a person from the royal family will come and win over the Demon King. He will become the Prince Consort and change the king.
The prophecy soon spread everywhere.
King's started sending their children to me in hopes that I would choose one of them to marry me and they could use my power to conquer other countries. Those stupid Kings were sending their children just to fulfill their selfish needs. So I just began playing with them. I seduced their children and slept with them. Then I used to dump them to teach their father a lesson. They beg me and profess their love to me. It was all a lie. They are just after my wealth and power.
After Princess Elly betrayed me I stopped trusting everyone except for my trusted soldiers, Conrart and Gwendal, Murata and Grandma Florist.
I unconsciously played with Wolfram's hair as I think about my past. Still on top of him, I kiss him and dimly note that he smelled like a mixture of Sunflower and Lily.
"So what do you think His Majesty will do with Wolfram?" Gwendal asked Conrart who was resting his head on his palm and looking out of the window. If anyone saw him they would have thought that he was enjoying the view. But he was not.
He was worried about Wolfram. Really worried. What will His Majesty do with him right now? When he had found Wolfram he had felt relieved that he was alright but was surprised when one of the children attacked him with a dragger. The child had hurt some soldiers with his dragger and had even hurt Conrart on the wrist. He had the skill of an expert assassin. Even when he was tied he had the courage to pull a dragger from his boot and try to attack the soldiers.
The only one with such courage and skill was Hawkeye, one of Shin Makuko's best assassin, but he was already dead.
Is it possible that this child was Hawkeye's son?
He looked outside and saw Yozak flirting with the maids as they giggled and hanged the clothes. They all were in Gwendal's office.
The Great Sage was sitting on a chair reading a book. He smiled at Conrart. "Dont worry Conrart! I am sure that Shibuya won't hurt Prince Wolfram. He might even take good care of him." Murata said cheerfully.
Sometimes Conrart just couldn't understand the relationship between the Great Sage and His Majesty.
"I hope you are right." Conrart sighed and started searching for a book though his mind was somewhere else.
"Where are those children?" Murata asked Gwendal.
"I put them in the guest room. Though I would've preferred to send them to the dungeon, Prince Wolfram would have cursed me if I did." Gwendal replied signing some documents.
Since Gwendal was involved in the search of Prince Wolfram, there were many documents pending for him to sign by tonight.
"Are they awake?" Conrart asked.
"I think you are capable of hearing their screams from the guest rooms. So that means they are awake."Gwendal said dryly.
"Oh, I can hear their scream from here, since the guest room is near this office." Murata continue reading. Two hours after Arthy and Ezio was locked in the guest room, they had woken up and started banging the door and screaming. Now, there's no more scream again. Probably they tired and give up?
Gwendal took another document and frowned as he read it. It wasn't a normal document but an engagement document. It said that King Karlheinz of the Oswald Kingdom wanted to offer his daughter's hand for King Yuri. It wasn't the only engagement document. Many kingdoms still sends the proposal document in spite of knowing that King Yuri had already announced Prince Wolfram as his Prince Consort. They still request King Yuri to replace Prince Wolfram with their son/daughter or to accept their child as a concubine.
"Why are they still sending engagement proposals?" Gwendal asked surprised. They had already given a big party announcing Prince Wolfram's and King Yuri's engagement.
"This is not the only one Gwendal. We got a lot of them last week. Last week me and Gunter were really exhausted of getting rid of many such documents. Not only that, many kingdoms are still sending Princes and Princesses to the castle in hopes that King Yuri would change his mind." Conrart explained.
"What the hell? Why can't they accept that King Yuri is married?" Gwendal asked irritated. He crumpled the document and threw it the dustbin. While he tore another, someone knocked on the door and Conrart opened it.
Gunter was standing on the other side of it. He had bought another stack of letters. He entered the room and put the letters down on the table. Gwendal's eyes began to twitch. Gunter stretched his hands and sighed.
"This is another sack of engagement documents. What should we do? We can't reply to all of this. Why can't they just accept King Yuri's marriage? You better help me in this." Gunter said in a tired voice looking hopeless and confused.
Gwendal stood up, walked up Gunter and put his hands on Gunter's shoulders.
"Yes Gwendal?" Gunter asked confused.
"Go and tell the maids that we won't be needing firewood for a week. I think this papers will do quite nicely." Gwendal turned his head towards Conrart who was reading the document and frowning. "You too better help me to burn these useless documents. Just tear it and throw it in the fireplace. I need some fresh air." Gwendal said as he went on the balcony and sat on a chair over there. He rubbed his forehead thinking,
Why had the workload suddenly increased so much? It looks as if Prince Wolfram is bad luck for me.
"Hmm... It seems as if they disagree with the marriage." Conrart noted thoughtfully.
"My feeling was right then. Even though we held a big party and announced King Yuri and Prince Wolfram's engagement they still dont agree with it. Especially King Yuri's previous fiancée, Prince Herriot." Gunter said as he took a handful of papers and threw them in the fire.
"That selfish and noisy Prince?" Murata asked Gunther from his book.
"Yes, that Prince. What do you think Great Sage? Gunther asked him and he check which letter he should burn or not.
"Hmm, I prefer he get curse, or sick and lost his voice. I can't stand of his voice. Especially when he told everyone finally he got Shibuya's heart, what a weird. A month later, Shibuya broke the engagement. He really hate that selfish noisy Prince and worse, he's bad at bed." Murata add his explanation about Prince Herriot which make Gunther shocked to hear it. "But Princess Rose different, she's kinda good. Shibuya told me after he slept with her. By the way she's dead right?"
"Yes, she tried killed Yuri when he's slept. King Yuri recognized her and he was saved." Murata turn the page and continue reading.
"Although Princess Rose begged her live, Yuri refused and said 'Once you become traitor you will always a traitor.' He killed her same time I came to rescue him. What a mess." Conrart remember the incident. When he and Gwendal broke the door, he saw a dead body, a sheet full of blood and it's smell. Yuri just in silent, sitting at bed holding his sword, looking Princess Rose dead body coldly. Whisper to her 'what a stupid woman'. The King recognized his appeared, asked to get the rid of body. After the soldier cleaned the mess, Conrart feel pity and bad when he saw His Majesty back bleeding, wounded but his black eyes empty, looking his hand, full of blood.
"After that, Prince Wolfram came right?" Murata put down his book, folding his hand while his eyes looking to the view. "Well, the right is after he made relationship to Princess Elizabeth and slept with her. I have to admit it he's a beautiful and unique person. No wonder Shibuya interested with him." Murata correct himself and he takes some notes, writing something that will be interesting for him. Maybe, he reply one of the engagement letter and make some fun?
"Yes, Prince Wolfram made many changes." Gunther chuckle and remember how Prince Wolfram came to Kingdom.
"What do you think about Wolfram, Gunter? Conrart asked.
"Umm... He is nice and intelligent though a bit emotional and hot tempered. Especially when it concerns His Majesty." Gunter replied as he threw more papers in the fire. The flames flicker and swallow the papers turning them into ash.
"Of course he is emotional Gunter. He was sold by his uncle to settle a debt." Conrart explains as he tore some documents and threw it in the waste basket.
"He was sold?" Gunter asked surprised. "Then why did you bring him to His Majesty? That too he slapped King Yuri the first time they met."
"We thought that he was perfect for King Yuri." Gwendal replied fron the balcony. It wasn't the complete truth though. When Gwendal had saw Wolfram he had felt a need to protect him. He didn't know why. Gwendal sighed.
Conrart voice drifts from inside the room, "Maybe he is the person from the prophecy..."
"Maybe... I hope..." Gwendal replies slowly.
"I sure hope so." Gunter threw another letter in the fireplace.
"He is the only one who can change Yuri..." Conrart said as he continued throwing documents in the fire.

T B C
Finally it's done! It's really hard to decided a name for Prince and Princess until I must think is this name sounds bad or not? Somehow I just write it as I want. Looks weird I think . . .
I re-read my fanfic again from beginning but I just want asked you, is Wolfram character too OOC? or is it okay you like this Wolfram personality and no problem with it? Since this story is AU, I'm afraid if Wolfram character too OOC but I want show more Wolfram sweet attitude, of course I keep his hot tempered. I want make him a tough with sweet and care character which he showed to Arthy, Ezio and Yuri.
For Yuri I really changed him, make him become a bad Demon King, tired of the wimpy Yuri when I watched the anime. When I writing I always imagine Yuri with a bad personality, firm and mysterious. i admit it he looks good and quite sexy. Hahaha...
The next chapter is New Year's or after New Year!
Please Review and Advice! :D
