Chapter 18 : Arrival of the Big Brother
.
.
Walking around the hall with a familiarity mostly seen in castle residents, the tall and tanned man noticed the maid with a food trolley filled with lots of exotic food waiting for something. As he came closer to her, he noticed the flush on her cheeks as she played with her fingers nervously. Moving closer, he taps her on the shoulder. The maid turned and looked surprised to see him. She quickly recovered from her initial surprise and bowed.
"What are you doing here?" He asked the maid. She lifted her head as her cheeks turned even more red then before.
"I always bring breakfast for Prince Wolfram, usually when he doesn't want to join others, he asks me to bring the breakfast to the room." She explained when suddenly they heard someone cry out loud. It was more like the cry of excitement then the man noted that it came from the royal chamber. Curiosity won and he decided that he will take the breakfast to the Prince consort.
"Let me take the breakfast to him, just go back to the kitchen now, prepare for the soldiers breakfast." Ignoring the various trays lying on the food trolley, he picked up one of them and gestured for her to go.
"But…" She started to protest since she couldn't let him do it or else King Yuri would be very angry that she had allowed someone close to him to do such a lowly job. Putting his finger to his mouth, the universal 'Keep quiet' sign, he shook his head.
"Relax, I know how to handle this since I know him from when he was small." He moved closer to the maid and whispered. "Besides the less you know about this 'thing' the better it is. Now go!" He ordered. The maid nodded and left. But instead of going inside, he leaned towards the door careful not to make any noise.
He could hear noises of kissing, breathless moan, and then a deep throaty chuckle "Oh! Yuri!". He also hear the Prince voice within the throes of pleasure and the sounds of a man thoroughly giving the prince the pleasure that made the Prince moan with ecstasy. Next he could hear the rustling of fabric, the sound of something falling to the floor, the loud voice of the prince repeating the king's name again and again like it was some kind of sacred prayer. The voice slowly died down until he couldn't hear it anymore.
"Is it done or not?" The man thought deciding to wait for some more time. After five minutes, he heard another sigh, a chuckle, and then sounds of pleasure. The sounds of more kissing and flesh moving against flesh. Then at last, the king's contented sigh and the prince cry of pleasure. "Seems like they have finished." Careful not to alert the couple of his arrival, he opened the door and entered quietly bringing the breakfast tray for the Prince Consort.
"Another one, Wolfram?" asked Yuri in seductive voice. I was still clad in his white shirt which was unbuttoned as I sat on his lap, face to face after we had early morning sex. Since the party a month ago, which I almost died, we made love in library all night. I can't understand how or better why were we not able to keep out hands off each other. It's not that I have become a sex addict, but even I, the ex-virgin, has to admit that Yuri was awesome and good in the bed. He can make me easily feel the pleasurable feelings and the burning in my groin. Yuri took a cherry from bowl that was placed on the bed. Last night, or more appropriately early morning, I had brought it to the room for a snack if I felt hungry at night.
I looked up at the cherry that Yuri was swinging in front of my eyes. He puts it in my mouth. As he slowly pushes it into my mouth while I open wider and bite it. One by one he keeps on giving me cherries. Feeling bold, I take the next cherry he gave me into my mouth but instead of eating it I wrapped my hands around his shoulders and crush my mouth with his mouth. Yuri's wide eyes were a sight to behold but he willingly opened his mouth and accepted the cherry I pushed into his mouth with the tip of my tongue.
"How's the taste?" I asked him, licking some cherry that was left on the corner of his mouth.
"Sweet and juicy I guess." Yuri pecked my lips while pulling me closer so our forehead touch each other. "By the way, your kisses are getting better than before." Yuri stroked my cheek and tucked my hair behind my ear.
"Really?" I asked surprised and proud. Finally he admitted it that my kissing has become better. I took some strawberries and ate it slowly closing my eyes. The taste of strawberry was so delicious and sweet. As I chewed and swallowed the strawberry, I felt Yuri's breath become shallow. He opened my eyes and frowned at his smirking face.
"What?" I asked him confused while I took the grapes from bowl.
"When you ate the strawberry, the way you enjoyed the taste and ate it in front of me was so seductive. Even when you ate the grapes too." Yuri took the grapes from my hand and eats it. I saw Yuri about to take the strawberry but before he could eat it, I snatch the strawberry which Yuri replied with the confused look.
"Don't eat it!" I protested and before I could eat it Yuri caught my hand and ate the strawberry. After he finished the strawberry, he stuck out his tongue, mocking me and chuckled.
"You already ate the strawberry while I haven't." I was pissed off but before I could continue my rant,his mouth descended on mine once more, his tongue plunging into the sweet cavern of my mouth. "At least you tasted the strawberry when we kissed right?" Yuri pulled back with a smirk and brushed my bangs on my temples. He takes the glass which filled red wine from bedside and drank it. As Yuri swallowed the wine, my head started to fill with the kind of naughty things that I wouldn't have thought I could think about.
"Don't swallow the wine."
"Why?" Yuri looked confused as to why I asked him not to swallow the wine. He put the goblet back on the table beside the bed. Cupping his face, holding his chin up, our lips came closer as I murmured hotly against his mouth.
"I want some too" I kissed him and could taste the wine in his mouth. The kiss was giving rise to increasing passion quite quickly. Snaking my arms up, I tangled my fingers into Yuri's hair, kneading his neck with my finger tips as things became more fevered and frantic.
I felt Yuri's palms move from my knee to hips, upper to my inner thighs. His right hands moved to my back, moving up and up while his left hand moved to my abdomen, teasing my navel. Still kissing, we grinded against each other, our length meeting and touching each other. Yuri let go my mouth, head resting on the head board to let out his moan, while I kissed and licked his neck, slowly.
"Your skin is so incredibly smooth, Wolfram. So incredibly smooth and hot. Are you burning for me, my Prince?" He asked his voice thick with passion. His palm was now cupping my buttocks, moving his fingers until he was inside me. I gasped when he touched me intimately, finger gently slipping past to caress my slick heat, his index teased the opening while the other seduces my length. "This is amusing right?"
"Yuri…. I…" I pleaded. My hips were beginning to move with the thrusts of his fingers as I drawn down into a vortex of pure passion by the skillful digits, slipping his two fingers out of my wall, soon joined by a third filling in my wall, all three thrusting in and out. Yuri chuckled after hearing my whimper of desire, my hips moving as his fingers made love to me. I hear someone clapping his hand and we stopped.
"What a great show, Yuri. Even my body trembling with excitement although I just watched both of you." The man rested his shoulder on the wall, smirking as he watched his little brother making out with his consort. Yuri, who heard the intruders voice, lifted his face and narrowed his eyes at the person enjoying the show. I turned my head and I saw the person with black hair wearing glasses, leaning against wall folded his arms, meeting my eyes. He wasn't Murata. Murata hair is shorter and he wear the round glasses while this persons hair is shorter and wears the square glasses. Also his eyes are sharp.
"Shouriiiii…." Yuri growled and he seemed angry since this is the second time someone had interrupted his private time. First Gisella, now this man. Why was there always someone who interrupted our private time?
"Why hello, Prince Wolfram. Seemed you enjoyed my little brother skill in the bed right? I have to admit it he is so skilled" He smirked at me. "Thats what you were thinking right?"
Oh God, did he listen my screams too? This is so much embarrassing to me! I was already enough embarrassed to be lying half naked and to think that he heard my screams... I think I should control the voice in my head that seemed to be coming out of my mouth but how? When Yuri takes me I can't control myself or my voice. I should let it out because it would make me feel better and Yuri loved to hear my moan
Every lover, the submissive, did right?
"Hello… too…" I tried hiding myself from the intruder and as if reading my mind Yuri took the blanket near him and covered me from head to toe. I peeked from the blanket as it was wrapped around my body.
"And you… are…."
"Aah, I forgot…" Shouri walked towards me and stood in front of me. Yuri pulled me closer to him and I sat behind him. Maybe Yuri thought that Shouri will harm me.
"Shouri, what do you want?!" I could hear Yuri hissing, anger bluntly visible in his voice.
"Relax Yuri, I just wanted to introduce myself to your beloved consort." Shouri explained Yuri making sure that Yuri wouldn't attack him. "Prince Wolfram, let me introduce myself. I am Prince Shibuya Shouri, Brother of the Demon King of Shinmakoku, His Majesty Shibuya Yuri." Shouri bowed and took my hand placing a kiss on it like Conrart and Gwendal had done when I first arrived here.
"Welcome to the Kingdom, my Future Demon Prince. With this, I swear that I'll be loyal to you even if death comes to me" then he kissed my hand again and stood up without leaving my hand. Before I could pull away from him, he pulled my hands above my head which makes the blanket slide down, displaying my arms and the blanket that covered me slipped from my grip.
I almost fell but before my face could meet the ground Shouri caught me and helped steady me. I realized that I was only wearing wearig Yuri's shirt. Before I could back off, Shouri cupped my face with his palm, examining it from head to toe. Oh no, the marks! He would see the bitten marks around my body.
"Big emerald eyes, wavy blond hair, long eyelashes, pink lips, small nose, slim body and long legs. No wonder my brother is attracted to you. Let me see the marks he has made around your body…" Before his hand could touch me, I saw Yuri coming to stand in front of me, pulling me behind his back, pointing his sword at Shouri. The tip almost touched his neck. Shouri who looked like he had expected this to happen, took a dagger from his pocket and swiped it. The sword tip moved and was almost touching his glasses. Shouri eyes changed into slits similar to Yuri when he was in attack mode.
"SHOURI! REMOVE YOUR HANDS FROM HIM!" Yuri screamed in anger and moved the tip of his sword back to Shouris neck. "If you ever touch him, I don't mind leaving a scar on your neck…"
"Don't act so cold towards me Yuri, I am your big brother." Shouri kept his blade back on the sheets again, like how Arthy normally did after his exercise with Conrart. "I just wanted a closer look okay? Not to steal your consort." Shouri smirks to Yuri, like underestimate him. Shouri walk to the bed and he takes a blanket on the floor, wrapping it around my body. Shouri moves back and sit on the chair, near window. Before this brother quarrel begins, I should leave the room and takes a bath.
"Can I… go to… the bath? I need to take a shower and clean myself." I held the blanket tightly around myself trying to cover my body which were full of marks because of Yuri and I was sure that my face was totally red right now. I could even feel the blood rushing to my cheeks. I didn't want to involved in the brothers quarrel. Luckily the baths were just a few feet away from the room.
"Yes… I will come after I finish with this guy" Yuri glanced at Shouri annoyed. He kissed my cheeks as Shouri smirked.
"Okay… I'll see you and…" I looked at Prince Shouri trying not to blush and bowed to him "See you too, Prince Shouri…" I wanted to leave the room and go to the bathroom as fast as I could.
"See you too, brother in law." Shouri waved goodbye. As I left the room, I heard Yuri and Prince Shouri continue their conversation. Shaking my head, I make my way towards the baths in hopes to relax myself.
Normal POV :
.
.
"I have to say Yuri. This boy, Prince Wolfram, is one of the most beautiful person I've ever seen." Shouri folded his arms and smirked. "He is so perfect from head to toe. No wonder so many people admire and envy his beauty. You're so lucky brother, even I envy you and want him as my consort…"
"Don't you dare take what is mine Shouri!" Yuri snatched his robes from the floor and wore it. He and Shouri were the only ones left in the room as Wolfram had made his way towards the baths a few minutes ago.
"Relax Yuri, he prefers you than me… I'm such not a bad brother." Shouri took off his glasses and dipped a napkin a bit into the glass of water to wet it and procedded to clean the lens.
"I know you are not, but sometimes you annoy me and pissed me off."
"Maybe for you… And about your consort…"
"What?" Yuri, after finishing dressing up, walked towards Shouri who sat on the chair with the pose that indicated complete control. Yuri leaned against the table, folding his arms.
"I heard a rumor that he was sold by his uncle to settle his debt to you. Not even a week later, you made him your consort which surprised me since you hadn't shown any interest in marrying after you were engaged with Princess Elly."
"Don't ever mention 'that bitch name'! I hate that name and want to forget it as soon as I can!" Yuri snarled, opening a bottle of wine and pouring it into glass. He gave it to Shouri who accepted it happily. Shouri sipped it slowly. "Then, what was your first reaction then?" Yuri poured some wine for himself and took some grapes.
"My first thought was 'are you out of your mind and had you gone mad?' When people described Prince Wolfram beauty, I hadn't believed that he was prettier than any princess but I was wrong." Shouri played with his glass, twirling the liquid in it around. "He is very beautiful and perfect. No wonder all of the Kings, Princes, and even Princesses envy his beauty. I heard that some of Kings and Princes want to make him as their concubine."
"Concubine? Do you know who they are?" Yuri took the knife and started to slowly but deliberately peel the apple.
"What will you do if I tell you?" Shouri stretched his legs and drank his wine, looking out through the window, admiring the sun rise higher and the birds tweeting outside.
"I'll deal with those people." Yuri sliced the apple with the knife so hardly that it made the table wobble as the apple neatly fell apart into two equal slices.
"So scary… and protective…" Shouri stood up and took few slices which Yuri had cut. "How many times did you and he it? I saw the marks on his body. Neck, chest, abdomen, even the thighs. The inner part especially might be..."
"It's none of your business, Shouri."
"Is he good at bed or...?"
"Pretty bad, he's not that good since he has never done it."
"He is virgin then. Or he was in any case. It's good right? You became his first and it felt good when you made love right?" Shouri bit the apple and sat on the edge of the bed, looking the mess of the sheets and feathers from the pillows. He made sure not to sit completely on the bed and get himself covered with anything. He knew that his brother would never be satisfied with only one time.
"You know what I think, Shouri." Yuri drank the wine and put it on table, folding his arms. "How's that bitch kingdom activity? Did you get the information I need?"
"As you can see, I already have all that you need." Shouri extracted a paper from his pocket and threw in on the table to Yuri. "That kingdom seemed to be involved in illegal trades and breaking the trade agreements. He is also a big cheat."
"What kind of cheating did they do?" Yuri sat down on the chair with his chin on his palm, listening Shouri explanation.
"Faking the trades. For example, they gave you ten sacks of rice. Six of the sacks are only sand while the real rice are present in only four of the sacks. Even with the wood, they paint the old wood so it'll look new and good to sell it again. The milk…"
"They mix the milk with water. The milk is probably only one fourth while the rest is water." Yuri ate some more grapes while thoughtfully staring at the glass in his hand.
"True." Shouri opened the window, letting the fresh air to enter the rather dense room.
"Breaking the agreement. Because of that stupid kingdom, I've got more loss and no profit."
"Very well, as you said King Yuri." Shouri got up from the bed and bowed to Yuri with a smirk present on his face.
"Another thing, Shouri…"
"What is it, Yuri?"
"Is it true then? They have the same mother?"
"Yes, Yozak told me the details. He even interviewed their relatives and collected as much information as he could. They have different fathers but same mother. Their mother is the king's sister."
"I see then…" Yuri sighed and looked surprised at the fact that those brothers didn't have a single resemblence even though they have same bloodline from their mothers side.
"Why did you want to know it?" Shouri asked, walking up to the bookshelf and looking through a few books that looked interesting.
"Curious… that's all" Yuri stood and he started to walk out of the room and towards the baths. "Have you met the others?"
"Only Gwendal and Conrart. I haven't met the rest yet." Shouri put on his glasses and arranged it to get a better view.
"Meet me at breakfast." Yuri put on his robe and started to get out of the room.
"Where are you going now?"
"The bath, I need to clean myself." Yuri replied, pausing at the doorway, confused as to why Shouri had asked such a question.
"Oh, what will you do to him in the bathroom? I think you will 'do' it and continue where you left off in the morning since I had disturbed you and you weren't able to finish it off..." Shouri explained in a seemingly serious voice though a slight teasing undertone could be detected if heard more closely. Yuri's face started to turn red as he slowly began to loose his temper all over again. Yuri looked like he was about to throw something heavy at Shouri just to shut his mouth.
"GET OUT SHOURI!" Yuri picked the robe lying on the floor along with a bed sheet and flung it right towards Shouri's face. Pissed off, Yuri exited the room leaving a laughing Shouri behind him.
"Hmm, he's more expert than me now… Not to mention his anger has grown... No wonder people are afraid of him" Shouri left Yuri's room and walked to the dining room for breakfast.
"Prince Shouri, welcome back to Shin makoku" Gwendal bowed followed by Conrart as a sign of respect. I could see the happiness on the faces of all the maids as they squeal a little on seeing that the Maou brother has returned. It seemed that Prince Shouri carried a bright and cheerful atmosphere while Yuri carried a serious and intense atmosphere around him.
"Why does everybody seem so happy to see Prince Shouri back?" I asked Conrart, pulling on his sleeve to get his attention.
"As you can see, there is the difference betwen Earth and sky between King Yuri and Prince Shouri. Same parents and bloodlines but different personality. Prince Shouri is easygoing, cheerful, can successfully control his emotions, can be serious and calm when the situation requires, and always speak truth."
"No wonder the maids are happy to see him back…" I saw Shouri greeting Arthy and Ezio with a pat on their heads and give them candy each other. They smiled widely and ate the candy within one gulp and started begging for more candy.
"We want more! We want more! We want more!" Arthy and Ezio chanted together for more candy and their sound echoed around like a marching band procession.
"Too bad I don't have anymore, sorry kids!" Shouri apologized with a shrug.
"Shouri is Yuri's brother right? Why didn't he become King since he is the oldest." Which made me confused because usually in every kingdom the oldest would always become the next successor to the kingdom.
"About that Wolfram, you are on the same page like the others. Most of the kingdoms were surprised that Prince Shouri refused the throne and gave it to Yuri. Of course Yuri himself was surprised that Prince Shouri refused the throne. It is said that Prince Shouri prefered becomes Yuri's right hand than the King because he felt that Yuri is better than him in diplomacy and more firm in dealing with others. Prince Shouri thought that if he became the King, he couldn't protect Yuri from danger anymore since his attention would be more focused on his duties as a King. So, he refused and become Yuri's right hand. By becoming the King's right hand, Prince Shouri could become his mentor, his guardian, and protect him from any danger." Conrart finished his explanation.
"Ooh, how sweet! Sweet and lovely brother." I smiled brightly. I was sure that my face resembled a child who had just got his favorite candy or a woman who heard a romantic story.
"IT'S NOT!" Yuri stood beside me and pulled me towards the table for breakfast. "He teases me more, disturbs me while I'm in need of some private time, and makes a big problem even bigger."
"I don't think it's true…"
"Do you think he accidentally disturbed us when we were having sex this morning? Without knocking the door and spying on us? Then clapping like whatever he saw wasn't anything intimate but just a scene from a drama?" Yuri looked extremely pissed off when he recalled how Shouri had come to our room while we did that. My face heats up as I remembered our activity of last morning.
"Well…" Fine. I take back what I had said before. Yuri is right. Wait a second... Did he just mention the word 'sex'? What the hell Yuri! You should learn control your voice and your mouth. Not that I am the one to talk.
"Newlyweds, don't discuss your bedroom problems over here. You should discuss it in your private room, just the two of you, not in here." Murata teased appearing from thin air to stand behind us. I would really love to get a chance to punch his face if I could right now.
"I. Hate. You. Yuri!" I hissed punctuating each word who had began this stupid and embarrassing conversation in the first place.
"You hate me but you love me even more." Yuri smirked and before I could protest he kissed me. He smirked evilly as he pulled back because he knew that this was my weakness. Damn, I wished my weakness was not Yuri's kisses.
"Glad to see you again, Prince Shouri." Murata smiled at Shouri and even patted his shoulder like old friends.
"Same here my brother friend." said Shouri smiled widely. "Or should I say, Murata?" Shouri sat on the chair across Yuri while I sat next to Yuri who sighed irritated.
Conrart and Gwendal joined us. It was refreshing to see them join us since they usually preferred to eat breakfast before us.
"Where should we sit?" Arthy asked Gwendal confused to which seat they should it in. Beside me or across me? Arthy tilted his head slightly towards right which is made him look even cuter. I giggled as I saw Arthy's childish side.
"Next to Prince Wolfram. Ezio will beside you." Gwendal cut the steak and started to eat it. "Remember the table manners kids" said Gwendal in a deceptively cold tone.
"Fine, fine…" replied Arthy who sat beside me and pulled the chair closer towards the table while Ezio just sat back but looked to be having a difficult time when he tried to take the soup spoon.
"Here let me help you." I gave my soup spoon to him while taking other spoon for myself. I accidentally drop the spoon on the floor. Before I could try to take it, the maid with vibrant red hair helped me.
"Here's the spoon, Prince Wolfram…" the red hair maid gave it to me. Wait, I had never seen her. Is she the new maid?
"Thank you so much" before I could take the spoon, the red hair maid threw herself on me and removed a sharp knife from her white apron. I kicked her in the abdomen and after a brief struggle managed to get the knife. I threw it away from us.
"WOLFRAM!" Yuri shouted and he pushed me out of the way by using his maryoku so he could attack her.
"Wait Yuri, don't attack her." Before I could stop him, he attacked her with his maryoku. What shocked me was that even though the attack was brutal she was still able to move like nothing had happened. Looking at her more closely, I noticed the glassiness of her eyes and the robotic kind of movements combined with the rough skin. I could feel the chill going up my spine when I realized that the thing that had tried to kill me was a doll.
"A doll..."Slowly, the doll stopped moving. It was as if everything was happening in slow motion as she closed her eyes and another doll appeared that was a replica of her. They continued appearing until they were nearly 10 of them. They all held some kind of weapons in their hands. Either spears, swords or even short e twelve dolls replicate again until there were twenty four dolls in front of us. What kind of those dolls are these?
"Protect Prince Wolfram now!" Gwendal shouted to Arthy and Ezio who ran in front of me and prepared their self for any kind of attack. Ezio tried to protect us by making a shield while Arthy used his hidden blades and daggers to defeat them. Arthy jumped and stood in front of me, attacking any doll that came towards me.
"Wolfram, take the sword." Conrart threw his sword to me while he used the other one. Gwendal and Conrart followed Yuri from behind helping him to attack the dolls and defeat as many of them as much as tht could. I caught his sword in a swift motion and joined to help them. I attacked the doll but it still continued to move although I made sure to cut their hands and legs. It even tried to kill me. I pulled back my sword and attacked it again with my fire maryoku but it was useless. What kind of creature was this?
"It's still moving. How we can stop this creature?" Arthy jumped and attacked another dolls, slicing open their arms or their legs but still continue to move. The legs and arms that had been cut grew into the new dolls while the dolls without body parts created new parts.
"The maryoku also doesn't work on them."
"Attack its head, that's their weakness." Shouri threw the knife straight to its head and it stopped moving. As another doll came straight to attack him with a spear, Shouri took his dagger from his pocket and cut it head with one swipe. "Attack its head as fast as you can, because it will create themselves again." Shouri took a sword and while cutting the dolls head, he threw three more daggers straight to three other dolls.
"Where did this come from?" Murata stood behind Ezio helping him to make the shield by not letting the dolls come closer to Ezio. Gwendal and Conrart cut more of the dolls head and attacked the others while Yuri used his sword like a professional as with only one swipe three of the heads had fallen off.
"Ezio, Murata! Watch out!" I shouted at them trying to warn them of the doll with a sword ready to attack them from behind. Murata who knew it, blocked the mannequin with his sword, even though he was less than good, and gave opening for Ezio to attack its head. With one hand, Ezio used the wind to his advantage and attacked its head. The dolls head fell off and Murata noticed the symbol on the mannequin neck.
I sighed in relief and cut another head but it was still moving and it recreated itself more faster than before. Around twenty dolls surround me.
Wait, so they are after me not Yuri?
"I think I have seen this symbol before…" Ezio murmured to himself as he tried to remember where he had seen the symbol before. I hadn't noticed the symbol and didnt really care about it now. His eyes suddenly turned wide as I glanced at him. It looked like he had remembered it. Ezio lifted his eyes and I could see the surprise in them. He looked at me and I would've asked him what was wrong if I hadn't been surrounded with those blasted dolls that seemed to be increasing as they all came towards me. I cut their heads off but it was useless because they just kept on increasing.
"Kill… Kill…"
Wait, what are they saying?
"Die…Die…" chanted the doll holding a rather sharp looking dagger. Their mouth were not moving but I could hear them clearly. It was like they were telepathic and nobody could hear them but me.
"He's just a slave…"
"You don't deserve him…"
"Let's make him suffer…"
"You deserve to die…."
What was my mistake? Why did they want kill me? Since the time I have arrived here, why was it always me who got into trouble? Ezio seemed to have realized that the dolls were not after them or the King. The dolls were now walking towards me with weapons such as swords, spears and daggers. I glanced at the strange symbol on their neck and frowned. It seemed familiar...
"Wolfram….WOLFRAM!" Ezio shouted still holding the shield in place even though he is out of breath.
"Wolfram, I'll come right now." I could hear the exhaustion in his voice as Ezio neared his limit.
Making the shield might be easy but a lot of energy is needed to hold it in place. Before I could continue to attack, one of the dolls attacked my right hand and stabbed it with a dagger. The sword fell from my hand with a dull thud on the floor as the three dolls threw themselves at me. I felt the sharp edge of a sword near my feet. I bent down, trying to maintain my balance and shifted the sword to my left hand. I cut another head but no matter how many times I cut their head, the mannequins did not seem to be decreasing. They kept coming back even after I used my fire element to slow them. I used it to buy me a few minutes and used that opportunity to cut their heads but only three of them stopped , I almost tripped on my own feet. Noticing this slip the dolls took this opportunity to attack me.
As he spotted the dolls beginning to attack me, Ezio dropped his shield and ran towards me. Before he could reach me, one of the dolls grabbed his legs, making him fall quite hard.
"Ezio!" Arthy shouted and ran towards Ezio to help his friend.
"Back off, you stupid creature." The blade appeared from his glove and Arthy stabbed the doll until the blade penetrates the head. Two other dolls tried to attack Arthy from behind but before Arthy could even turn around, those two dolls stopped moving. It was Gwendal and Conrart who attacked those mannequins.
"Wolfram…" Ezio lost his breath and stood with the help of Shouri and Murata.
"PROTECT WOLFRAM! THOSE DOLLS ARE AFTER HIM!" Hearing Ezio's scream Gwendal and Conrart, who were still in shock, saw me surrounded by fifteen dolls. Five of them had already stopped moving because I had cut their head. Conrart and Gwendal began running towards me but another two dolls attacked them with sword. Luckily Shouri helped them by using his dagger, throwing it straight to their head. Shouri shouted to Yuri who had just finished cutting the dolls head.
"YURI! GO SAVE HIM! THEY ARE AFTER HIM! HURRY!" Shouri shouted to Yuri, gesturing towards me. Yuri nodded and started to make his way towards me. He looked completely furious. With only one swipe every doll that blocked his path fell down and stopped moving. Yuri even cut its head into two parts.
"Your Majesty!" Conrart and Gwendal were ready to help Yuri as they followed Yuri from behind and cut another dolls head. With every step, Yuri came closer to me, cutting and attacking everything that stood in his way to me. Right now, he's looked like he was possessed by the devil himself.
"First time I saw him like this…" Shouri saw his brother, Yuri, furious like hell and even I could feel the anger that consumed his body.
"He always gets like this when Prince Wolfram is involved." Murata stood beside Shouri, fixing his glasses. A ripped doll whose head was hanging by a thread to its neck, stood up and tried to break his head using it's teeth. Luckily Shouri reacted fast and threw the knife to its head.
"That was close, you okay my brothers friend?"
"Fine and thank you for the help." Murata sighed in relief and stumbled as he walked towards Ezio who lay passed out while Arthy followed Gwendal and Conrart to save me.
I was attacked by a spear from behind and some of dolls injure both of my arms and also my legs with knife so I couldn't move myself. I saw the doll who held a dagger, sitting on my stomach and its right hand came to grip my neck, almost choking me. The fear slowly overcame my body.
One of the dolls lifted my head with my hair and the other one held the dagger and gripped my neck, ready to kill me. I flicked my fingers and summoned the fire around my fingers. I threw the fire straight to its head. Using this opportunity, I pulled back both of my arms hardly so that the dolls can't hold me any longer. Finally I managed to free my right hand and I took a knife lying on the ground. The knife was now in my possession but I screamed in pain when they bit my right hand quite hard. I tried to pull back but suddenly that same voice rang through my mind again.
"Die… Die…."
"How dare you…"
"You cut my lovely hair…"
"You don't deserve him…"
"You are such a slave…
"You humiliated us…"
"Let's kill him…"
"I want you to die…"
"YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO BE DEAD, YOU STUPID CREATURE!" I saw a furious Yuri roar with anger before swinging his sword really high and with one swipe six of the dolls head were cut off. Realizing that someone had disturbed them, the dolls that were surrounding me decrease and they go after Yuri who had disturbed them. Conrart and Gwendal ran and swing their sword right to the dolls neck while Arthy jumped and ran to all the dolls he could, cutting and slicing their neck into two.
"Yuri, leave the rest! Wolfram is more important now!" Arthy shouted and threw a dagger to its head. Yuri nearly ran towards me as I lay on the floor,injured, hands still being bitten by the dolls as it continued to bleed profusely and the grip of their hands on my neck choking me. As my vision blurred due to the lack of oxygen, I noticed Yuri lifting his sword and bringing it down on the doll.
"Don't ever touch my Wolfram!" Yuri cut the head of the doll that bit me and stomped it hard, crushing it into pieces. Then he stabbed the doll near my foot until his sword went through its head. Yuri pulled the sword out and continued to beat them without mercy. The last one who sat on my stomach was pulled by Yuri who threw it into wall. Yuri walking towards it and before the mannequin moves, Yuri stomps its chest very hard and he stabs its head.
"You know what the punishment is right?" said Yuri with the most sadistic voice I've ever heard and pulled out his sword again. "Death is your punishment" Yuri cut its neck into two pieces and then he stabbed the head twice.
After he finished stabbing the head, Gunter and Yozak along with soldiers finally arrived and were shocked to see the mess.
"What just happened?" Gunter asked looking shocked at the room as well as our exhausted condition.
You came late and that's the only thing you are able to say Gunter? Is there nothing else you can say to make us feel better?
"What caused you to arrive here so late?!"Gwendal cringed in pain when maids from the medical section bandaged his wounds around his wrist and arms. Yozak helped the soldier gather the motionless dolls while the maids cleaned the mess. Changing the curtain and tablecloth, gathering the broken plates and glasses, wiping the blood from the floor.
"The soldier who usually guarded the corridor was stabbed and still unconscious. Gisella has already healed and bounded his wound but she said that he needed some rest." Gunter walked closer to the dolls lying motionless on the ground, looking at the symbol on their neck. "Seems like they were sent to take revenge on someone…"
"Yeah, on him." Ezio muttered as he regained his conscious after getting some energy drink made by Gwendal. It was made from rose petals and grew into a midnight blue rose petals. After drinking it, Ezio slowly seemed to regain back his lost energy. Gwendal didn't mind to make the medical drink for Arthy too but I knew that since his energy level went down after making the drink he could make only one of it. Thats why he prefered to give to Ezio instead if Arthy who looked like he needed it more.
"Who?" asked Gunter.
"Wolfram, who else?" Arthy took off his gloves which had hidden blades and massaged his wrist, cringing when he touched a particular sore spot. The medical nurse who saw the wound around Arthy's wrist, cut the roller bandage and wet it with alcohol. She bandaged the wound slowly and made sure the blood does not flow out from the scar.
"What made you think they were after him?" Gunter took the glass from Ezio and he gathered some wind, turning it into the shape of the bubble. He asked Ezio to swallow it and soon Ezio's breath returned back to normal. Gunter also made a symbol on Ezio's palm, drawing what looked like the combination of a feather and dandelion flower. The symbol comes out from his palm, turns into sparkles then gone.
"Now you have your strength back. Making the shields needs a lot energy and can affect the power. You should learn to control it and don't push yourself." Said Gunter with pure concern as he held Ezio's hand. "I'll teach you how to control your power. By the way, what made you think that they are after Prince Wolfram?"
"The symbol on their neck, it's from the Aratten Kingdom. Last ball, the Arraten Kingdom princess, Princess Kirsty, came to the ball…"
"Yes, because their kingdom does trade with us…"
"And she's the one who humiliated Wolfram with her friends. They pulled his cloak until Wolfram fell, threw the shredded rose on his face and threw the dirt water in the vase on him until he was soaking wet. Ouch, that hurts…" Ezio cringed when the maid wound the bandage a little too tight around his legs.
"They did what?!" Conrart, who heard Ezio's explanation, looked shocked and anger practically radiated off him. He looked like he really wanted to punch those people. Not only punch but maybe even kill or make them suffer. What they had done to me was beyond my endurance so no one looked surprised that I lost my temper.
"They also insulted him and said 'he's not worthy since he is just a slave, nothing more. Then that stupid princess, Princess Kirsty, took Wolfram blue rose broach and stomped it into pieces." Arthy added and drank some water but quickly spit it out when he realized it was not mineral water but a drug.
"She destroyed that broach I made?!" Gwendal shouted anger reflecting in his voice. It's not that he made it, but how he made the broach for Wolfram since he was upset and the flowers he used while Wolfram was sick to cheer him up, burned by Princess Emelyn.
"What made you angry Gwendal? It's just a broach. You can buy one again." Shouri said who takes one of the doll, looking closer at the symbol and tracing it.
"It's not that simple broach Prince Shouri. It's a rare blue rose broach from a real flower. His Majesty Yuri found a blue rose field and picked the most fresh and beautiful blue rose. He asked me to make the broach for Prince Wolfram."
"He asked you to made a broach, brought it as present for Prince Wolfram?" Shouri eyes widen a little aftering hearing the explanation from Gwendal. "And… why he asked you… to made the blue rose broach?" Shouri wanted to know. He needed to know the reason.
"Well… uhh…" Gwendal became confused unable to understand how should he explain it. He felt a little shy to confess that Prince Wolfram loved his element. He couldn't tell people, especially over here. But no one seemed to be listening. "Prince Wolfram loved my earth element and was captivated by how I could make a beautiful flower. His Majesty knew that and he asked me to use my element for it. As a present." He didn't have any choice except to explain it as light blush crept on his face.
People in the dining room, soldiers, maids also the medical maids had been listening and looked surprised to hear that their King actually had a romantic side. The soldiers whistled, the maids giggled like a child, and the medical maids seemed captivated.
"His Majesty so romantic…." said the maids. "I didn't know that His Majesty was such a romantic person."
"Really, Prince Wolfram is something…" the soldier commented and the others agreed, nodding their heads.
"Wow, General Gwendal is actually kind of adorable and sweets. Cheering up Prince Wolfram by using his element and then making one for His Majesty…" said other medical maids and they cupped their own faces.
"What kind of present Gwendal? What did Yuri ask you for?" Shouri was still curious to know but from his smirk, Gwendal knew that Prince Shouri will use this to tease Yuri again. What should he do? Answer it and get detention from Yuri because this 'thing' will spread around castle faster then wild fire or pretend that he doesn't know. Gwendal took a deep breath and made his decision.
"Cheer him up? Or what?"
"Why you don't ask His Majesty, Prince Shouri?" Gwendal controlled himself as usual, his voice not betraying any emotion. "He is your brother right?" Gwendal was now able to understand why His Majesty Yuri sometimes felt pissed off with Prince Shouri.
"Aah, maybe you are right Gwendal. I should ask him…" Shouri smiled. He now knew what to do after he finished solving this mess. "Where is Prince Wolfram now?" Shouri asked Conrart, cringing in pain when he moved the cold compress to his jaw. Conrart was still reporting the mess and ordering the soldiers to clean up the mess, remove all of the dolls from dining room.
"In the medical room with His Majesty. Gisella accompanied them to heal Prince Wolfram wounds." Conrart answered Shouri and helped Murata who was still busy fixing his glasses.
"Ah, I see then…" Shouri smirked and sighed, laying on the coach closed his eyes. "Oh, I need a cup of tea to relax… Coffee too. Can you make one cup for all the people here so they can relax for a moment? " Shouri asked the maids and they bowed, leaving the dining room to make some cups of coffee and tea..
"Prince Shouri is there something on your mind?" Murata asked Shouri who lay on the sofa and massaging his forehead with a hot bag. "You just smiled…"
"Well my brother friend…" he takes off the hot bag and put it back into basin. "Yuri seems to really care about Prince Wolfram…" Shouri smirked and he compress Arthy's head that exhausted after the fight with the dolls."Never have I seen him so furious and angry like that when Prince Wolfram in danger. He even asked Gwendal to make a present for him."
"Hold still Wolfram…" Yuri was healing my wound with his maryoku. His palm moved to my arms, then hands and neck as I tried to regulate my breaths. Gisella was busy making the medicine for me to drink and I was sure that the taste would be bitter.
"Ugh!" I cringed in pain while Yuri healed my bleeding feet and the blood soon stopped but I could still feel the pain. Gisella heard my low whimper. She took a bandage, an alcohol bottle, and her potion. I hissed through the pain even as I held Yuri's arm nearly blocking his blood circulation. He stopped his maryoku and takes my hands.
"If you do that, I can't heal you fast since you nearly cut off my blood circulation." said Yuri with a cold tone. It sounded more like an order then a request. Why do you treat your consort like that Yuri? I moved my hands to the sheet and he continued to heal my wounds. I held onto the sheet of bed and groaned in pain.
"I think it's enough Your Majesty. Prince Wolfram needs some rest now and I must bandage some of his injury." Said Gisella who sat right next to me, putting all her potions on the table. First she bandaged my feet which really hurt even if I just moved a little. I almost screamed out loud. "The cut is quite deep but luckily I can handle it." Gisella spread her potion on my wounded feet, wetting the bandage with alcohol and wrapped it around my feet. She took two pillows putting my feet on it.
"There it's done. Now, let me see your arms." Gisella pulled my sleeve up-not that there was much left of it- but this time she wet the bandage with the potion. After the bandage was completely soaked, she wrapped it around my arm slowly. Ouch. It hadn't hurt when she was bandaging me but as the drugs stared slowly healing my wounds were causing me a lot of pain.
"Okay, it's now the turn of your neck."
"Can we take a bit of rest Gisella? You know that I need to control my movements from this bloody wound around my body." I felt like I had become a mummy since almost my complete my body was wrapped by bandage.
"No, you have to Prince Wolfram. The wounds that the dolls inflicted on you was quite dangerous since they put a potion in your wounds." Gisella cut the bandage, wetting it with the drug she had made.
What did I just hear? Potion? They had put a potion in my wound? What will happen to me? Why is my life always in danger since I arrived in this kingdom? Was I cursed or was The God of Death following me?
"What do you mean Gisella?" I asked her quietly, trying to calm myself as successfully as I could. I know I hadn't done it perfectly but I had to. I saw Yuri taking my hands and bandaging my wounded fingers. He held in his anger and he was restraining himself from doing something he would regret later. That much was clear from his face.
"Yuri…." I tried to cheer him up and assure that everything is okay, nothing to worry about. I groaned in pain as Yuri accidentally tightened the bandage and gripped the sheet most likely thinking about the attackers."Yuri! It hurts!" I hissed, tryig not to scream as I tried pull back my hands from him. Yuri didn't let go my hands and loosened the bandage around my fingers.
"Sorry…" Yuri apologized in a low voice and finished bandaging it. I pulled my hands back and studied it carefully. The bandages were wrapped around most of my fingers.
"There, it's done." Gisella declared at last satisfied after bandaging all the wounds. She wrapped bandages around my neck, arms, ankles as well as the right cheek too. I could see my reflection on the window and was speechless. I look completely like a mummy. Maybe a corpse or a zombie would be a better comparison.
"Gisella… this is the worst…"
"Well, yes it is… You should take a lot of rest and should not move around a lot..." Gisella washed the basin and walked to her table, making another medicin for me.
"No Gisella... What I meant was... I look like a mummy." I saw my reflection looking back at me and put my head on my knees, desperate. Well, it's okay I'm look like a mummy right now, but what makes me desperate is the fact that probably tomorrow or someday another threat will come. I might even die. I'm not ready to die yet. Sometimes I think this wedding was something wrong. Something that shouldn't have happened.
"I'm going to kill them…" hissed Yuri, shaking as he held his anger. "I'm going kill them whoever did this…." His eyes had become slits and his voice was lower than usual. "I will torture them…" Before his could anger explode or something bad could happen, I took his hand and gripped it tightly. I didn't know when and how but lately this had become my habit to calm Yuri down or control his anger. It just that when I grip Yuri's hand I feel better, all of my fear is gone.
"Yuri, please calm down…" I gripped his hand harder not caring the pain shooting through my fingers. "You don't have to kill them, just give them warning or visit them…"
"This is serious Wolfram! Attacking us even your life was in danger, we almost faced to the death!"
"I know what you are saying, but Achooo!" I sneezed due to the cold. Yeah, I haven't wore any clothes, just pants since Yuri and Gisella bandaged the wounds around my body. Yuri took a blanket from the nearby bed, wrapping it around my body.
"You haven't worn any other clothes Wolfram, let me bring some clothes for you." Gisella stood and made her way to another room to take the clothes. Right after Gisella left, Yuri sat behind me and pulled me towards him, hugging from behind. First I cringed a little since my wound had not yet healed then I felt better. Yuri was not hugging me like usual but he just let me lean back on him and held my palm.
"Yuri…" I turned away and what I saw him resting his head on my shoulder, without saying anything. I could hear his breath, trying to control himself. Slowly I lifted my hands and stroked his head slowly until someone came to disturb us. As usual.
"Yuri, is your consort okay? Seems like I disturbed your private time. Again." As Shouri opened the door without knocking we jumped in surprise. Seeing Shouri coming in, Yuri let go of me, sitting beside me without letting go his hand on me.
"If I must to say… Yes you did disturb us. So what is your reason to come to here?" Yuri asked looking directly at Shouri. Seeing that Yuri gave him the permission to enter, Shouri walked inside followed by Conrart and Gwendal behind him. I saw the worried looks on their faces.
"Do you feel better Prince Wolfram? Are you okay?" Asked Shouri concern prominent in his tone as he fixed the posotion of his glasses.
"Yes, I am fine. Thank you for worrying about me…" After I finished my words, my head felt like it was spinning and I rested my head at Yuri's arm.
"Well it's great. By the way, there's something I wanted to talk to you about Yuri, the last morning…"
"To the point Shouri, I want to know who is behind this stupid assault" Yuri said impatiently.
"Well, as you can see, the assault is from Kingdom Arraten. The symbol on every dolls neck is from Kingdom Arraten. Kingdom Arraten always mark their property, merchandise and their trades so people won't make mistake or confuse their things with other."
"So, that's the Kingdom I see… Anything else?" Yuri seemed satisfied after figuring out who was behind this assault.
"About the weapon that the dolls used, it's not from Arraten, it's from another kingdom. Whister Kingdom, the famous manufacture of soldier weapons. We found out that the metal, aluminum, also the woods couldn't be destroyed by fire. A strong weapon and there's some magic inside the weapons." Explained Conrart who bought the weapon, the spear and dagger. Conrart gave it to Yuri who examined it close. I too looked at it closely. Yuri traced the spear and the dagger until he found the magic source, sucking it out.
"It's true then… You know a lot this thing Conrart, quite an expert actually." he threw back the spears to Conrart who caught it easily.
"I always do check the soldiers weapon equipment and sometimes guard the weapon trade of every kingdom. By the way Your Highness, the dagger is still new and this is the first time I have seen it." Conrart shrugged his shoulder and his brown eyes met my green eyes. "How do you feel, Prince Wolfram?"
"I'm not fine Conrart, as you can see all of my body is wrapped up in bandages and I cringed in pain while I was healed and cured by him…" I pointed at Yuri who turned back as he heard me call his name, while he still examined the weapons. "…also her." Next I pointed Gisella who was walking towards me holding a bowl of medicine and the clothes were draped in the near by , the smell was so disgusting that I felt like throwing up.
"What did I do?" Gisella asked confused as she took some jasmine and rose flower powder, pouring it into the medicine and stirring it slowly until the medicine color changed into light leafy green. The smell was gone but the color made me feel even more sick. I didn't want to drink it.
"Seems you're fine Wolfram…" Conrart sighed in relief and sat beside me, patting my head.
"Are you done Conrart? I think he needs to drink the medicine…" Yuri kept the weapons on table and Conrart went to stand by Gwendals side. Yuri sat beside me, pulling me closer to him. "Gisella, the medicine please…"
"Here you go, King Yuri…" Gisella handed over the medicine to Yuri who took it, without letting me go from his embrace.
"Did you just say that Gisella? Front of Yuri?" asked Shouri who was surprised to hear Gizella speak in an informal tone.
"There's some accident it turns out like this. Most of this is His Majesty fault." Gisella said it bluntly without any fear and I could see Yuri rolling his eyes in irritation. Gisella, I think you need to control your sharp mouth.
"Does he have to drink the medicine right now? Prince Wolfram can drink it later…"
"He must take the medicine right now, Shouri. He was poisoned by the dolls when they attacked him." Said Yuri who took a spoon from the nearest table, feeding me. Wait a seconds, did he want to feed me?
"Potion? What do you mean Your Highness?" asked Conrart surprised hear the word potion. Gwendal who was a few steps ahead of Conrart, nodded in understanding.
"I found the potion on the weapons tip. Seemed like that they smeared the potion om every weapon. One of the medical who is an expert in potions, already found out where this potion came from." Shouri said without any hesitation as his eyes looked unwaveringly at Yuri who kept feeding me and wiped my mouth with a napkin slowly like a mother.
"And where did that potion come from?" asked Yuri who finished feeding me, now kept the bowl and napkin on table as he walked towards Shouri.
"Here's what I bought for you…" Shouri took out some of plants from his pocket and threw one of it to Yuri who caught it easily. The plants color is so rare, a curious mixture violet, turquoise, and some blood red.
"What with this plants Shouri?"
"Well, as you can see Your Highness, those plants are quite rare and the only place where we can find it…" Gwendal coughed a little and clear his throat. I think he needed some rest since his arms were covered with bandages so was his knuckles.
"It's from Kingdom Mandrist."
"That stupid Kingdom Shouri?" Yuri crushed the plants with his palms in anger. Before Yuri could crush it, I noticed his maryuko turning those plants into ice and is easily destroyed by him. Did he also have ice powers since ice is connected to water?
"True Yuri, seems like that they found out that we are willing to break the trade agreement and that we knew about their dirty trade. It seemed like that they attacked you to shut you up. About attacking your consort… I don't know why they are after him…"
"So it was the Arratan Kingdom, Whister Kingdom and Mandrist Kingdom." Yuri looked down at the Frozen cursed plant.
"Maybe they wanted to take revenge?" I saw Ezio and Arthy peeking from behind the door, searching for me. His grey eyes met mine and they came inside without hesitation.
"Take revenge? What for?" Conrart looked curious as to why those Kingdom wanted to take revenge on me.
"Didn't I tell you to take some rest and sleep well kids? You could hurt yourself more if you do not rest well." Gwendal stood in front of them trying to block their way to me.
"Well yes but we were worried about Wolfram." Arthy moved away from Gwendal walking directly to me passing Yuri without any hesitation.
"Just a moment. There's something we want to tell to King Yuri." Ezio does the same but he stopped and stood in front of Shouri.
"Well, what is it kid? Maybe you could tell us about it? Shouri squatted wanting to know more about it. Ezio looked at Shouri, inhaled and started talking.
"Maybe you won't know about this, but one of the Princesses with light blue hair…"
"It's from Arratan Kingdom, Venyle Princess." Shouri added.
"…Well, she pulled Wolfram's cloak until he fell then…" Ezio closed his eyes, sighed but his face was full of anger. "…she took the flowers from me, stomped it, then threw the shredded rose on Wolframs face."
Yuri's eyes become wider but he stayed calm keep listening Ezio explanation. He seemed calm but his hands were trembling and his eyes had become slits. He was angry and I needed to stand up right now although I was in pain.
"Another one with blue hair princess…"
"Mandrist Kingdom, Princess Amille…" Shouri said and sighed.
"Well… she…" Ezio pointed a vase with flowers and continued explain. "…she took a vase and threw the water on Wolfram. Dirty water until he was soaked.
"Okay… that's so…" Shouri stopped. I guess he was unable to imagine how bad it must have ben for me.
"Mean and the worst of course…" added Conrart who looked quite shocked after ear Ezio story. Yuri was still calm but he clenched his teeth, closed his eyes to restrain himself, taking deep breaths. I stood and I walked towards Yuri. Arthy showed up from behind Gwendal. His wrist was bandaged but he seemed quite fine.
"The last one is a pink hair princess…" Arthy replaced Ezio.
Oh no, don't remind me of those events. That was the worst event of my life and I hate it so much, I just want to forgot it.
"The last one, Whister Kingdom, Princess Kirsty." Shouri nodded and his guesses are all correct. "What did she do to Wolfram?"
"Well, she was…" before Arthy could begin his explanation, I shouted unable to hold my anger any longer as I remembered those horrible events again
"SHE DESTROYED THE BROACH THAT YURI GAVE ME!" I shouted in anger gripping the sheet tightly trying to control my anger. Seriously why must I remember that event again. Those princess, maybe I should call her bitch, whore or something similar, because she destroyed my favorite broach.
"Wolfram…" Yuri was also surprised to see me shouting with anger, very loudly and everybody was now looking to me, speechless.
"IT'S THE MOST FAVORITE BROACH I'VE EVER HAD!" I shouted in anger while cringed in pain again. Oh, I think I really need rest and sleep. A long sleep to regain my energy but I continues releasing my anger. "A BLUE ROSE BROACH! SHE DESTROYED IT!" I shouted louder this time that even Conrart was shocked to see me this angry. Usually he saw me quite calm especially when I'm in trouble. Maybe I should start expressing my emotion more often, not to hiding it anymore. Seriously this kingdom changed me.
"Broach you say…?" Shouri asked me but he was staring at Yuri who doesn't realize that Shouri was looking him.
"HOW CAN I KEEP SILENT WHEN SHE DESTROYED MY TREASURE Uughhh!" I cringed in pain this time I couldn't hold it. I wanted to lie down on the bed.
"Well, I think the medicine is beginning to work now, it means you need a long sleep to recover your energy, Wolfram" Gisella pushed me back onto the bed and blanket on me. "Time to sleep Wolfram, this medicine will recover your energy. All of your scars and pain will be gone but you will have to have a deep slumber."
"How long will I…" I yawned and my body felt tired and my eyes slowly began to close. I couldn't hold my eyes open any longer. The medicine effects were so strong although I could already feel my body getting better and the pain slowly leaving my body.
"Around three weeks or the longest is a month." Said Gisella and she took the bowl and the spoon beside table. Wait a second, a month? How it can be, I mean, sleep a month?! That's sounded silly.
"It's not like what you think Wolfram. You will probably be in deep slumber but it can replenish your energy also make your body feel better. Trust me Wolfram." Shouri explained it to me and just before I yawned again, Arthy and Ezio ran towards me and they faced me closely.
"Sleep well Wolfram" said Arthy stroking my hair and gave me kiss on my cheek.
"Have nice dreams too." Ezio also kissed my cheek and I could hear Yuri coughing. It's not a real cough, it's like a reminder to Arthy and Ezio 'Are you done yet?'
"Are you jealous? They are just kids Yuri." Shouri giggled seeing his brother looking quite jealous at how Ezio and Arthy gave me goodbye kisses on my cheek but Yuri ignored him by looking out of the window trying to pretend that he's not jealous. They all slowly left and Gwendal took the kids back to their rooms. After the door closed, Yuri took my hand, stroking it. Before I fell asleep, I wanted tell him something about the broach.
"Yuri…" I tried to speak as hard as I could but my mouth now had become dry.
"What?" his face came closer to me. Seemed like he couldn't hear me clearly since even though I felt like I was talking loudly my voice was barely above a whisper.
"Sorry… for the broach…" I slolwly started to drift into darkness but I wanted to finish my words. My hands searched for his, I needed his comfort before I slept. I could see Yuris eyes widen a little when I mentioned the broach.
"It's okay Wolfram… You don't need to apologize…" said Yuri slowly, smiled a little and stroked my hair and patting my head. "Now sleep…"
"But it's… treasure…." I couldn't keep my eyes open any longer. I closed eyes close but I still can hear Yuri's voice.
"I know and thank you for treasure my present." said Yuri and I can feel his kiss on forehead, cheeks and the last is my lips.
I fall asleep soon after my dreams filled with darkness with no light in sight.

How is it the ending? Well, when I wrote Shouri personality, I just want to make him an easy going brother but protective also cool person. Shouri thinks Wolfram is interesting and I love the quarrel or conversation between Yuri and Shouri, it's really funny to write how Shouri tease Yuri even dare to watch his brother making out with Wolfram. The next chapter is more focus to Yuri, Wolfram and Shouri. It's more like a simpe conversation I guess. Wolfram also has another dream about Rufus and Shin'
Please advice and reviews guys! :D
