Chapter 20 : Would You Like Go Out with Me?

.

.

.

"One, two, three…." I counted down, keeping my hands over my eyes. I was sitting on the chair in the library and I could hear them giggling as they searched for a hiding place.

"No peeking Wolfram!" shouted Arthy from the left side and I could hear the sound of a box opening. Are they hiding inside the box?

"Wait! Wait!" I heard Ezio shout and I knew that he was looking around, searching for a place to hide. I could hear his footsteps fading away and I was sure that he was climbing up the Library stairs.

"Are you done?" I shouted back, grinning but there's no reply from them. It means that it's time to catch them. I stood up; ready to look for them, pretending that I didn't know where they were hiding in the library. Well, since the hiding places were few, I would've been able to guess where they were hiding even if they hadn't made any sound.

"Where are you my little knights?" I peeked from between the bookshelves and pretended to be seriously looking around. I even crawled on the ground and looked under the tables. I could hear the giggling sounds from my left side, near the coffee table. I smirked and squatted to glance under it but there was no one under the coffee table. So… they move more quickly than I thought. Well, looked like I must catch them before Prince Henry comes back. Even if I did know where they had been hiding they were moving too quickly for me to catch them.

"Where are my little sweet knights?" I tapped my shoes and tried to guess where they were right now.

"Catch me!" shouted Arthy from behind me but when I turned back he had already disappeared. He was fast. But then that is to be expected since he was trained by Gwendal as an assassin and also guardian. I saw the library curtains move a little, the sunlight highlighting a shape that I recognized as Arthy's body. I took off my shoes so he couldn't hear me approach. I turned back to the left side, walking towards the shadow until I stood behind Arthy. I make sure that my breathing was low and even. Standing behind him, his head poking out from curtains as he looked around trying to locate where I was, I noticed that his posture is no longer stooped but he stood with a confidence that had been absent the first time I had met him. As he was preoccupied with trying to find me, I took this opportunity to surprise him by grabbing him from behind.

"Gotcha!" Quickly I caught Arthy into a tight hug with curtains entangled around his body and pretended to eat him. I tickled him mercilessly until he couldn't control himself and started to laugh.

"Gyaaa! Save me! Save me!" Arthy laughed and shouted for help from Ezio who was still hiding. Ezio appeared from the right side. As I had guessed, he had been hiding above the bookshelf. He climbed down quickly and rushed to save Arthy from me. Without caring about the fact that I might catch him, he showed up to try to save Arthy from me. He pulled at my arms and even hit them with his tiny hand.

"Let him go! Let go of Arthy" said Ezio, hitting my arms with his hand while the other hand was pulling Arthy away from curtains. A mischievous idea entered my mind. Holding Arthy with my left arm, I pulled Ezio with my right catching him off-guard.

"You're next!" I pulled Ezio inside the curtains trapping both of them inside the curtains. The kids laughed loudly when I tickled them and pulled them towards me. "I'm going to eat both of you!" Inside the curtains, their arms grasp around searching for me. When they found me, they didn't hesitate to hug me back. I heard the door open.

"Seems like the kids and you prefer playing than studying…" Prince Henry showed up, holding some papers, crayon with pencil colors also books. His eyes widened as he noticed the castles constructed from the books. I just smiled sheepishly. The reason I had decided to even come to the Library was that I had some free time on my hands and since I couldn't go out, the Library was the only alternative. There I had met Arthy and Ezio who were studying with Prince Henry. The kids were enthusiastic and asked me to join them. Prince Henry was substituting for Gwendal since he was busy.

"Sorry Prince Henry, it seems the kids want to take rest now…" I disentangled myself from the curtain and took the books from Prince Henry. Helping him to gather the books, I even gather the crayons scattered on the table. "They felt it appropriate to build castles out of the books and when they got bored of that, they asked me to play hide and seek." Prince Henry had gone to fetch a few books on fairy tales and arts from his room and had asked me to keep an eye on them. We ended up playing cat mouse and hide and seek.

"It's okay after all they are still kids. Besides, they don't have to study seriously and read books all the time." Prince Henry smiled at the sight of the kids chasing each other with pillows around the library. "Seeing the kids so active, I think Gwendal must have a headache all the time or must control his temper while teaching the kids." Prince Henry chuckled trying to imagine Gwendal's condition as he tried to control his temper to teach the kids.

"Well, what you said is true. The kids also dare to mock him and even tell the maids and soldiers about his little secret, knitting."

"Kids, after all…" Prince Henry just smiled and put his books on the table. Most of his books are about fairy tales, animals, plants, and nature books. Wait a second, is that a dream book?

"Is it true?" I took the book and traced the title with my fingers. The colors of the papers were brown and some of the pages were folded. I opened the book and there were a lot of words that had been marked with ink.

"What?" Prince Henry looked confused at my question, glancing at me as he folded a few pages for the kid's lessons.

"Well, it's said that if you dream of something, sometimes it can be a message, prophecy, future or whatever." I turned a few pages and catch some interesting looking things in the books.

"Some people say no, some people say yes. According to my experience, it's true. My mother dreams always have some meaning behind it. For example, she dream about how she met her ancestor. Her ancestor said that bad things will happen if we're not careful about the people around us. At first, she didn't believe it until she had the same dreams for around two weeks."

"So, that means it's true after all…" I murmured to myself.

"Maybe you're right Prince Wolfram, but sometimes I still doubt it."

"Prince Henry, there's something that I wanted to ask you." I kept the books back on the shelf and I think back to the dreams that I've been having. Last week, I dream about them again. What I saw was how Shin'ou and his fellowship defeated Soushu and another one is Rufus childhood, her first meeting with Shin'ou. I had blurry image about their first meeting. For three weeks my dreams were about their life and I probably can write their daily life.

"What do you want to ask Prince Wolfram?" Prince Henry prepared the next course for Arthy and Ezio while they still played cat and mouse, chasing each other. They even threw pillows at each other.
"I'm gonna catch you!" shouted Arthy throwing any pillows he could get his hands on, running towards Ezio who ran away to avoid the pillows.

"You can't catch me! Catch me if you can!" Ezio ran and hid behind a sofa then crawled to the table near the library door.

"What I wanted to ask was…" before I could finish my question, the door opened and the pillow that Arthy threw at Ezio directly hit Gwendal on the face. I could also spot Conrart behind him. When the pillow hit his face, Gwendal nearly lost his balance. The papers he held scattered on the floor and Conrart quickly bends and starts collecting the papers but I could clearly see the effort he was making to hold back his laughter. Gwendal's face still looked calm but I could see the irritation in his eyes as it began to twitch.

"Oops…" Arthy mumbled and froze. Ezio turned back and sees the pillow slowly fall to the floor. Knowing that something bad will happen, within seconds they ran towards me and hid behind me, gripping my hands. Gwendal sighed, squatting to pick up the pillow. His teeth gritted, eyebrows slowly become one.

"Who threw the pillow?" Gwendal asked slowly, putting emphasis on each and every word. I could see him looking directly at Arthy and Ezio who were hiding behind me and they avoided Gwendal gaze. Conrart eyes meet mine and even though he was laughing about Gwendal there was still some pity in his eyes for the children.

"Don't know…" the kids answered it though their voice was too low for it to be convincing. Their grips on my palms become hard. Prince Henry stood beside me and he also looked confused as to how to diffuse the situation. It might be the first time he saw Gwendal so irritated. Prince Henry still remained calm, but I could nearly hear the gears in his head turning as he looked for a way out of the confrontation.

"What is this? All this mess?" Gwendal stepped in the library but stopped as he stepped on something. He lifted his foot and I winced when I saw what it was. He had stepped on his handmade doll. "Is this my handmade doll?" The doll was quite weird; at first I thought it was a bear until he said it was a cat. Ignoring his handmade doll, he just put it on the table, walked towards me with stern face and an intense aura.

"You are kind of scary Gwendal…" I tried laughing a little, to break the tension but it's useless, I think. Well, he's pissed off for sure. First his face had been hit by the pillow and his handmade doll was used as toys by the kids. I could feel the kids trying protecting themselves from Gwendal. I admit it they needed to behave but at the same time they are kids and deserve to have some leeway.

"Am I? Now, allow me to speak with those kids, Prince Wolfram…" Gwendal peeked from above my head, looking at the kids and ready to give punishment. His hand descended on my shoulder, silently signalling me to move away from the kids.

"Save us… Save us…" whispered the kids, gripping my sleeves harder and almost tearing off from my shoulder. I decided to have a small talk with Gunter if their attitude keeps up. On the other hand it may be better if I teach them since I heard from Murata that they are also noisy with Gunther, saying his lessons are as boring as Gwendal lessons.

"Gwendal, I think…." Before I could say something, Prince Henry interrupted me as he came to stand beside Gwendal, showing him some papers.

"Sir Gwendal, there's something that you must to see. Well, it's about the Maple Event and I need you to read the preparation also sign the agreement." Prince Henry opened the papers on which the sketch of Maple Event stage and details about the the events theme. Gwendal takes the paper and placed it on table. With one last glare towards the kids, he proceeded to walk towards door, calling the maids around to clean the mess in the library. The only reason he left was because he didn't know which one of them had threw the pillow. I walked up to Prince Henry and patted his shoulder.

"Thank you…" I whispered to Prince Henry who nodded back with a smile.

"Better take the kids out now while he's gone." Prince Henry patted my hands, signalling that I should leave the library with kids while Gwendal back to library table, reading the event organization. It seemed like he forgot about the accident or was at least for the moment too busy to do anything about it. Slowly without making much sound sound, I left the library with kids who quietly followed me without leaving my hands. I passed Conrart who was helping the maids tidy the library.

"It was totally out of control but quite funny at the same time…" Conrart grinned and he took the alligator like doll from floor. "Don't forget your doll, Arthur. Here" Conrart passed the alligator doll and Arthur just took it, nodding his head in thanks. I closed the library door, slowly without any sound then walked away. After putting some distance between us and the Library I let out a small sigh.

"Finally free…" Arthy let go his hand from my grip but I could see that he was still shivering. He hugged my waist tightly and murmured something that I couldn't hear.

"What we did was over…" Ezio hands still gripped mine as he leaned his head against my palms, seeking the comfort. Same like them, I had also been shivering especially when Gwendal stood in front of me with his pissed off face. If you asked me who is scarier between Yuri or Gwendal, I'll choose Gwendal. The reason I've never saw Gwendal angry face while I'm getting used Yuri's anger and pissed off face. I leaned against the wall and slide down, suddenly feeling tired. Arthy and Ezio hugged me from the sides. I stroked their heads while Arthy kissed my cheek. Realizing it was Arthy's fault, I pulled him in front of me and looked into his eyes.

"Okay, listen to me Arthy." I said with a firm voice.

"Well…" Arthy knew what I was going to do to him, so he just stood without protest. "You should admit it Arthy, it was you who threw the pillow" I told him, stroking his hair and hold his hands. Ezio rested his head on my shoulder hugging my arms, nodding in agreement with me.

"How can I admit it when his mood is not good? Well, he's scary right now Wolfram."

"I agree with that too..." Ezio nodded along with Arthy. This time, I must agree with them because what they said is true.

"I know that too, well I am also quite scared like you two but…" I gripped his shoulder, giving it a little shake. "You must apologise to Gwendal and admit your mistake" Arthy must admit that it was he who threw the pillow at Gwendal although I knew that seventy percent Gwendal will be furious with him.

"Okay, I am going to tell him now…" Arthy mumbled, play with his alligator doll, pulling the tail and puffing his cheek. Damn, why does he look so cute right now? I wanted pinch his cheek right now.

"Good, now go tell Gwendal that it was your fault and apologize to him." I pulled him towards me, kissing his cheeks and turned him towards the Library, giving him a little shove to encourage him. Slowly, Arthy sighed and walked towards library. His hand rested on the door handle but he made no move to open the door. I frowned and was about to shout for him to go inside but he beat me to it.

"IT WAS ME WHO THREW THE PILLOW!" Arthy slowly pushed open the Library door and peeked inside. Ezio turned pale while I just stood there in shock. Arthy might've just made things worse by shouting the apology out loud without even opening the doors. Well at least he admits his fault than not admit it.

"WHY YOU LITTLE…!" I could hear Gwendal roar and I catch a glimpse of him walking towards the door with pillows in both of his hands as his face turns red.

"Gwendal, restrain yourself!" I could hear Prince Henry voice and I could imagine him trying to physically restrain Gwendal but then it wouldn't be of any use since Gwendal was stronger than him. The library door opened widely with loud bang and soldiers along with the maids looked surprised by the sound but the scariest thing was Gwendal pissed off face matched his angry voice.

"COME BACK HERE!" Gwendal shouted and Arthy ran towards me really fast. Before we got Gwendal's wrath, Ezio turns back and with Arthy they give me signal to run away by jumping towards me. I take them with my both hands and lift them while they're holding on my shoulder.

"RUN WOLFRAM! RUN!" shouts Ezio and what I see from their face is they are not scared but they seemed have fun with it, especially Arthy who laughing even stick out his tongue to Gwendal. I think it's usual for them making Gwendal furious and they run seeking safety or sanctuary. I know this is fault but actually it's quite fun. The soldier see us running and hearing Gwendal shouting voice, give us a signal 'just run and run faster Prince Wolfram.'

.

"Why do you want to take the kids with you?" asked Yuri looking at them curiously. I could also sense the slight irritation since I bought them into his office. Shouri kept the documents on the table, looking at the kids with amusement. Arthy was playing with alligator doll, making alligator sound and Ezio looked around Yuri's office, in awe at the interior.

"I think it's for the best since Gwendal is kind of furious with them now." I stroked Arthy and Ezio hair and laughed. I actually feel a little bit sorry for him right now. I hope his anger has reduce. I don't want meet him right now.

"What made him so furious this morning?" Shouri placed his glasses on the table and massaged his forehead. "I just heard from the soldiers that the kids made Gwendal angry again. What did they do to him?"

"Well, one of them accidentally hit Gwendal on the face with a pillow when they played cat and mouse after studying with Prince Henry." I pointed at Arthy who pretended like he didn't hear me, continued playing with his doll pulling its tail and Ezio just played with my fingers.

"Aa, that's why I could hear his voice through the hall, It's normal Wolfram since they always do that and it always ends up like this. Last time they turned the bland white sofas in the study room into colorful sofas with the help of watercolor, acrylic and oil paint." Shouri smiled remembering how Gwendal left him half hour to get brushes. "He had got that twitch in is eye and nearly explodes after seeing the newly decorated sofas. Arthy and Ezio didn't care continued paint the sofas instead on the canvas. "

"Okay then…" I smile wryly. I can't imagine how the sofas mess must have looked. Is that the reason why the maids clean the study room every day without fail and keep the windows wide open?

"Gunter complains about the smell, it's stinky and for around two weeks we couldn't enter the study room and every day the maids must open the windows widely." Said Yuri signs some documents for Firefly Event.

"Want some candy? Lollipop?" Shouri took out the lollipops from his pocket, showed it to them and without any hesitation they ran towards Shouri, letting go of my hands. Shouri gave them the fruity lollipop and they eat it calmly. Seeing Shouri taking care Arthy and Ezio, Yuri kept the pen and looked at me seriously.

"What did you want to see me for?" Yuri rested his chin on his palm, waiting for my answer. I took a deep breath and straighten up. Seriously, the person in front of me might be my lover but he's also the demon king and I must maintain respect for him.

"I need your permission Yuri also organizes the Firefly Event which will be held next week." I coughed a little, locking my eyes with his. I wasn't going to be afraid of him this time. Even if it meant faking the confidence I didn't really have.

"Yes, it's true. Gunter said you should be the one to organize this event since you are now a part of the Kingdom also he's hoping you can do the best." Yuri took some papers about the Firefly event and looked at them one by one. "What I know is that you don't have any experience to organised any event." Yuri seemed worried about having me organize this even though I had Gunter, Gwendal and Prince Henry helping me. "What was Gunter thinking? Letting you organize this? This is not small event, its big event."

"I know Yuri, I know about that…" I was myself astonished when Gunter asked me to join with him and the others to organize Kingdom Event. I told him I didn't have any experience but he insisted I should join since I have become the Royal Consort and he hoped I would get used to it.

"Maybe he wants Wolfram to learn something? Well, I think Gunter's idea is that, if you get involved any Kingdom event and become one of the people who organize it, you must learn about the event itself. The Origin, the meaning of event, the history also reason why the event precious for people. Unconditionally, it will become lesson for you." Shouri opened another candy package for kids, after all they almost finished the lollipop.

"Probably…" I mumbled to myself and sat on the chair, resting my head on the table. Still eating the candy, Arthy walked towards me with Ezio who was still licking the lollipop and tried climbing on my lap. Realizing it, I lifted Arthy up and put him on my lap. Ezio just stood near table, looking at Yuri who kept signing and Ezio took other candies on table which Shouri had left it behind.

"You gave them too much candy Shouri…" Yuri peeked at the small stack of candy but his still continued signing, occasionally glancing at us. Ezio walked to me and Arthy. He put some candies in his pocket, some he gave it to Arthy. Another one, he opened and put it in my mouth. Well, it tasted good and I liked it, no wonder Arthy and Ezio loved it.

"What? They are kids and kids love candies." Shouri made a little tea with a slice of lemon. "By the way, besides your permission to handle the event, is there another reason why you wanted to meet Yuri?" Shouri poured the tea into a cup and give it to Yuri with two cookies.

"Wolfram said he wanted to go out together with Yuri." Arthy answered Shouri question and his hands lifted up to my mouth, feeding me some candy.

"You want to go out? Together?" Yuri drank the tea as he stared at me and Shouri helped Ezio to drink a cup of tea by cupping the head with his wide palm. Ezio little hands cupping the cup and drinking it slowly.

"Well, actually that idea just crossed on my mind and…" I opened my mouth again as Arthy fed me another candy. After I took the candy with my mouth in one bite, Arthy lifted his head, pecked my lips. After the peck, he smiled brightly showing his teeth and his cheeks redden as cherry, blushing.

"Eating too much candy will make your teeth rot…" Yuri sipped the tea and dipped the cookies in tea. He grumbled sullenly as he saw the way Arthy fed me the candies. "Thanks…" said Yuri glancing at Ezio, put the plates with cookies and Shouri put the tea on table front of me, smelled of lavender.

"Wolfram, Wolfram" Ezio took some cookies from the other table. "These cookies taste good…" Ezio fed me the cookies, the same way Arthy gave me the candy. Someone coughed and a crumpled piece of paper hit my face, landing on my lap. I opened the crumpled paper and read what's written in it.

'Don't act cute, you're too close to them and eating sweets make your stomachache!'

"What? I just ate four candies and its fruit candy. There's nothing wrong about." Seriously, what's wrong with it and Yuri was act more childish than Arthy and Ezio. I haven't meet Arthy and Ezio for a long time and they also missed me. I wanted throw something at Yuri. Not having much of an option I crumbled back his paper and threw it back to him. Yes, it hit Yuri's forehead.

"Just stop it, okay…." Yuri said, standing up and taking a few candies and cookies from his table and placing it on another table in the middle of the room. Yuri came back to my side, seeing Arthy playing with his doll, took it.

"Ahh, alligator…" Arthy protested, reaching up for his doll but it was useless. "My alligator…"

"Yuri, give it back to him. That's his doll." Ignoring me, Yuri kept the doll on the table in the middle. He walked to Ezio who was eating the cookies with Shouri. When Ezio try taking cookies, Yuri grabs the cookies from his hand, eat it calmly. First, he just stands calmly seeing his cookie eaten by Yuri, then Ezio whining, frown his forehead.

"Cookies… my cookies…." Ezio keeps pointing his eaten cookies, Arthy jumped from my lap, walking towards Yuri asking for his doll while Ezio still whined. Yuri took other cookies and candies then walking towards table followed by Arthy and Ezio asking Yuri to return their thing by whining.

"Alligator… My doll…"

"Cookies… My cookies…."

"Doll, candies, cookies, all here" Yuri pointed at the candies and cookies on the table and a few seconds later, they were gathered around the table eating their cookies calmly and Yuri returned Arthy's doll.

"Since when you know about this thing?" teasing Shouri to Yuri, continue drink the tea also eat the cookies in one gulp.

"Since you always gave them candies to make them calm down…" Yuri looked at the kids, who were busy eating. Yuri walked back to my side and swung the chair until I faced him.

"What is your…" before I protested, he lowered himself then kissed me by cupping my face. Moving back, his eyes reflected how exhausted he was as I could see his dark circles and tired face with messy hair. How long he hasn't sleep properly?

"Well, if you want to know why I am doing that, the reason is just like what you think right now, jealous about the kids and how close they are with you." He pointed at Arthy and Ezio who finished eating the cookies and left the table full of cookies crumbs and candies wrapper. Yuri stood up and sat on the table folding his arms, looking at me grumpily "They are too close to you…."

"I haven't met with them for quite long Yuri, there's nothing wrong if they want to stay close with me all the time." I was confused at Yuri childish action. Was I too affectionate with them? Well, since I don't mind hugging or kiss them and vice versa.

"That's why I'm jealous…" Yuri pulled me closer and I ended up on his lap. He hugged me with a heavy sigh, resting his head on my shoulder. "Even they are busy in study or practice; they can meet you as they want although just a moment."

"Well, they are just kids and if they spent all day study and practice, their brains might explode also they will be completely stressed out."

"It's true but seeing they can be like that I'm quite jealous. When I'm busy, I almost spend the day in the library or office, signing documents, agreements, etc without seeing you for even a moment. By the time I return you are already asleep. I can't wake you up, asking to accompany me all night with talking, walking, and joking around. Arthy and Ezio can see you as they want although just a glance or a moment when they are busy. Do you think I can do like what they did while I'm busy and have a lot work to do as King?" Yuri hugged me tighter and my arms unmoved from my side. I peeked to the side and see Shouri looking at us with a soft expression. Catching my eye, he gestures for me to hug Yuri back and stroke his head.

Hearing Yuri confession, although it still sounded childish, made me understand a little why he was jealous of Arthy and Ezio. Yuri's job as King kept him busy and he didn't get a chance to meet me anymore. Lately, from morning till night Yuri spent his day in the library or his office with Shouri to discuss any Kingdom problem also the Firefly Event which was getting closer. When dinner comes, he doesn't join us and asked the maids to bring his dinner to library or his office since the amount of documents that needed signing had compiled into a huge pile.

"Somehow, I can understand your jealousy towards kids although it still sounds childish to me." I wrapped my arms around him.

"Call me childish as you want but…" Yuri's breathe tickled my nape and his head rested on my shoulder. "Your affection towards the kids sometimes makes me jealous. The way you make them laugh, your treat for them makes me wishes can you give me more affection than them." Yuri closed his eyes and his breathing become was regular.

"He's just jealous Wolfram. When he sees you from window while he is working, when you play with the kids he thinks that you prefer to spend time with them than him." Shouri pointed at Yuri.

"Shut up, Shouri." Yuri cut Shouri off without moving his head from my shoulder and wrapping his arms loosely around me.

"Fine then, I just wanted to tell the truth to Wolfram, probably he will understand…"

"Yuri, are you tired?" I stroked his head and playing his hair. God, his hair totally mess and it's getting longer. He needed haircut and nice shower too.

"Totally…" said Yuri in lower voice, husky.

"If you tired, how about spending time with me? Why you don't join me go outside? See the event development. After that, we could walk around town or eat at restaurant at town. There are a lot of good restaurants along the river."

"I think that's not good idea, for me to go outside the castle." Yuri lifted his head from my shoulder, looking at me doubtfully.

"Why?" I asked him confused. "You said you wanted to spend time with me and I thought it was a good time."

"Well, the reason is that I'm not yet ready to meet my people. I don't know if they see me, will they scared, hate me, or… you know the rest Wolfram." Yuri looked outside seeing the maids and soldier outside chatting with their families. Today it was a holiday and they could meet their family or even give them a tour of the castle.

"Is that the reason why you wanted meet Yuri? Asking permission to go outside?" Shouri poured the tea into cups, adding milk and honey for Arthy and Ezio.

"Well, actually that's why I wanted to meet you. Can I go outside to see the people and also check out the event in town?" I kept Yuri's hand on my side but held his palm, waiting for his answer.

"Are you going alone? If you are going alone, I forbid it."

"Actually I wanted asked you to go out with me but you said you preferred to stay in the castle. How about I take Arthy and Ezio with me?"

"Kids? together?" When Yuri said 'kids', his tone was one of irritation. "Again?"

"Well, since you prefer to stay in the castle and you don't allow me go alone…" I shrugged. "I decided to take Arthy and Ezio and go outside. Is it okay?" Since Yuri forbidden me to go alone, better I take Arthy and Ezio with me while checking the event development. After all, they are my personal guardian's right?

"You go with them again… and again…" Yuri eyes glued to kids who drank tea calmly, who were asking more honey from Shouri unaware of our conversation. "When you will go out with me?"

"I asked you before Yuri do you want go out with me but you refused because you are in doubt. That's your chance if you want spend time with me but you refuse it."

"Well, you heard the reason, I don't know what my people will react if they see me right front of them…" Yuri lifted his head and stood from the table, returning to his chair. "See the event development at town not important for me." Yuri folded his arms, mot probably thinking if he should let me go outside with Arthy and Ezio or accompanied by others… "How about you accompanied by…"

"If you want to say the royal guards will accompany me at town, I'd rather go alone than with them. They are really strict especially with your orders." Better I told what I don't want because when I hear 'accompanied by' words, one hundred percent I'm sure he give suggestion to me to accompanied by royal guards.

"Better I told what I don't want because when I hear 'accompanied by' words, one hundred percent I'm sure he gives suggestion to me to accompany by royal guards.

"Fine then, you can go with the kids and remember, be back before sunset." Yuri rested his back, can't argue anymore. His head rested on his palm, looking at me quiet long then his black eyes moves to kids, drinking their own tea until last drop and swirling the spoon in the tea cup."Remember, before sunset…"

"Thank you Yuri." I almost jumped and smiled widely, clapping my hands.

"But you have to be back as soon as you can so we can spend some time together. Is that possible?" At that, my smile faded with deep sigh, he had ruined my plan. I had actually planned to return after midnight. Tonight there was a party in town square, food event and flower event.

"Maybe yes maybe no…" I looked back, silently asking help from Shouri who was pouring milk with honey for kids. As if realising someone was staring at him, he turned and our eyes met. With a wry smile he shook his head in a way that said 'There's nothing I can do.'

"Geez, you sound like you are trying to avoid me." Yuri tapped his fingers on table and I glanced at Shouri silently asking for his help. "Don't you dare interfere, Shouri." Yuri folded his arms across his chest, warning Shouri to stay away. Shouri just nodded, turning back to his work of reading documents with some books for reply message and royal invitation.

"Very well, Arthy, Ezio." I stood and walked to the table in the middle, squatting until I was at eyelevel with them. I took their hands. "You said that both of you want go outside right?" they nodded. "Well, I need someone to accompany me outside, for checking the Firefly event development. Do you want go with me?"

"Of course we want it! It's going to be fun!" they said and I nearly fell down as they jumped towards me, hugging me and screaming in joy.

"It's been a long time we have gone outside. Sounds like we are going on a date with Wolfram" Ezio giggled and wrapped his short arms around my neck.
"Yay, date with Wolfram." Arthy giggled and kissed my cheek. The sound of creaking of the chair reached our ears, the tall black figure walked towards the door ignoring us. He opened it widely and just stood there staring at us.

"Okay, time to go now kids." Yuri pointed outside, "I need to finish my work and since you don't have any business, I would prefer if you three get out from my office." He sounded pissed off and I knew he was jealous.

"Yes, Your Majesty" I said as politely as I could. Could I just punch him? "Come on guys, The King needs to finish his job and we must go out now."

"Okay." they said together and before we left, Ezio took another cookie and Arthy took his alligator doll from the table. I asked him to take another for me and he did that. Bounding up to me he placed the cookie in my mouth. Before I could bite into it I caught the sight of the sullen look on Yuri's face. Sighing, I stood up, keeping the cookie between my teeth, and walked up to him. Moving close to him, I closed the distance between us and transferred the cookie from my mouth to his. He looked surprised but he gladly took the cookies with his mouth, before giving me a brief kiss.

"There, I hope my cookie gives you some strength." I stuck my tongue out then left. The door closed. I hadn't actually thought about what I was doing but I just hoped his jealousy towards the kids decreased. He must have been really surprised because when our lips touched, his eyes went a little wider and his breathe hitched.

"You just let them go?" Shouri asked Yuri, tapping his shoulder.

"What?" Yuri frowned in confusion at the question.

"Well, Wolfram and the kids will spend a whole day outside again." Shouri rested his arm on Yuri's shoulder. "I think they are going to have a lot of fun outside, laughing, holding hands together. Well, almost same as a date Yuri, don't you think so?"

"Shut up, Shouri. I'm quite busy right now because of this stupid paperwork." Yuri shrugged his shoulders and freed himself from Shouri arms, turning his attention back to his work. "Its better is I finish this damn thing as fast as possible"

"Whatever you say then…" Shouri too turned back to the work he was supposed to be doing, checking the paperwork. But most of his attention was still on his little brother, wondering why Yuri hadn't protested over the fact that Wolfram had gone out again with the kids.

"Shouri, I want another tea, lavender tea."

"Fine, fine Your Majesty…"

Well, what do you think about this chapter?

My favorite part is Gwendal and kids scene. It's kinda hard to imagine it but I really have fun with it especially Gwendal furious and upset face. I also have fun writing how Yuri still jealous about Wolfram and kids relationship although Wolfram begins affectionate to him and show his romantic side to Yuri, like kissing Yuri front of Shouri when left the room. The relationship between Yuri and Wolfram still continue and although I'm the writer, I love their development. It's kinda cute, lovely and sexy.

About the intimate scene between Yuri-Wolfram (s*x scene), what do you think? You can give me some advice if you have one, hehehe :p

About this chapter, I'm worried about the grammar since I'm not sure, so I hope if I finally found the new beta, probably I will ask to beta'ed again this chapter. My previous beta, yuuram2fangirl, did the best as she can but since she's so busy, she asked me to checking the grammar again also suggest me to beta'ed again this chapter when I found new beta. Please PM if you interested to become my beta or found beta for me.

Please review and advice for me! For next chapter, I hope I can finish it as fast as I can.
