Of Woos and Chased.
Chapter 4.
A month has pass since that night. Since then, Yuuri didn't pursue Conrad further with fervour but he did leave Conrad a rose everyday. He wanted to give Conrad space and in time, Yuuri hope that Conrad will feel comfortable and warm up with him being a lover and very much a keeper.
But all that flew out the window when he was suddenly been dumped back to Earth!
Why that impossible twit!. Seethed Yuuri as he make his way out of the lake with Murata. Even thou I inherited the Great One powers, I still got dumped when I'm not looking.
Then Yuuri remembered something. That morning at breakfast, Conrad was a little too happy. He was practically skipping. Later, when he Conrad and Murata went to see Ulrike, he saw that Conrad was passing Ulrike a secret eye contact then they thought he wasn't looking.
He must have been planning this just to prolong my suffering. I'm trying to be gentle and he is testing my patience with his stubbornness and his game of "Hard to Get".
Yuuri let out a smirk and leered.
Well now my beloved prince, if you are bored with all the normal things, maybe I should spice things up with a little more fervour when I get back there. Just you wait Conrad, when I get back there, I'm gonna get you and I'll get you good!.

Meanwhile, back at Blood Pledge Castle.
" You asked Ulrike to send His Majesty back to Earth?!" screamed Gunter.
"Yes I did"
"But why Conrart?" asked Wolfram.
"Just feel like it."
"You are playing in dangerous water here Conrart" said Gwendal. "His Majesty hasn't pursue you with intense fervour since the news of the affairs. And you are getting way out of line in testing him."
Conrad sigh. He put his pen down and looked at the three gentlemen in front of him.
"I'm aware of that. However, I can't help it if I need to feel more reassured by His Majesty's love and affection. I did it because I want to know how this parting effects him and how loyal he is to me.
The others stare at Conrad in shook. Two things run through their heads. One is Lucky we asked Murata to investigate King Yuuri true propose and I know Conrad is uncertain but never thought to this extent.
"But this effect you too" said Gunter.
"Come again Gunter."
"No matter how hard you're trying to deny it, you actually like the attention King Yuuri is giving to you."
Conrad just sat behind his desk. Shocked at the insight that came out from Gunter. By the looks on his brothers face, they seem to agree with Gunter.
"Not only that" Continued Gwendal. "You of all should know how much His Majesty will misses you. Therefore, I know that you too will misses him just as badly."
Once the three of them have said whatever they wanted to say, they left the room. Leaving Conrad alone too his thoughts. Conrad got up from his desk and went out the balcony to watch the kingdom pass slowly beneath him.
Gwendal is right. Thought Conrad bitterly. I do misses him. Especially his game of dominance.

"Hey Shibuya!"
Yuuri turn around and greeted Murata with a bashful smile.
"Murata, What brings you here?"
"The park is a public place Shibuya. I have my right to be here."
"So it seems" laugh Yuuri.
Yuuri and Murata continue to walk in silence, watching all the people around them. All this time, Yuuri was thinking things on Demon Kingdom and Conrad while Murata just watch Yuuri, trying to figure out what he is thinking. Over the years, Yuuri has succeeded in concealing his emotions, making it impossible to read. Even Conrad and Gwendal are having difficulty in predicting their king. Once they settle down on their usual bench near the fountain, Murata ask.
"Penny for you thoughts Shibuya"
Yuuri just give a small smile and said "Just thinking Murata"
"Of Conrad?"
"That and other stuff."
"No doubt one of them are ways to get back at Conrad for dumping you here or better still, ways to seduce him." Smirk Murata.
Yuuri just smirk at his friend, his eyes dancing with mischief. Trust Murata to bring out the darker side of him. Yuuri, the Casanova minus the infidelity ofcourse and Yuuri, the lover. It was thanks to Murata who took him to that prestige underground club and introduce to him the wonders behind close doors. It was from then on, Yuuri kept going to night clubs and learn various ways of how to please man and woman a like, including how to seduce and dance seductively. According to those that he slept with, he was very good at what he is doing. He didn't enjoy having sex with a lot of people, but what better way to learn without his parents knowing? How did Murata get so involved with night life in the first place, Yuuri doesn't know.
"Now, now Murata. I know you lusted over me but that doesn't excuse you to pry out all the little details of my affairs with Conrad."
"As if Shibuya" laugh Murata. Then seriously he said "I'm not trying to pry just wanted to know how deeply your feelings for Conrad runs and to remind you because of past experience, he became so uncertain in love."
Yuuri let out a sigh. He is very much knows the fact. Why do you think he go slow with Conrad?
"Why do you think I go slow with him? Only leave a rose secretly for him? Don't you think that shows how much I love him enough that I'm willing to go slow or wait until he's ready?"
"But I need to know if you're going to be faithful to him. Love him and cherish him with all your might."
Yuuri look long and hard at Murata. He has the feeling that this interrogation isn't just from his curiosity, but by someone's else as well.
"This isn't just you isn't it. Its Gwendal and Wolframs fear as well."
Murata's silence was his answer.
Yuuri get up and stand directly in front of Murata. The evening sun rays shone at Yuuri's figure make him look like a powerful and deadly enemy. His eye was narrowed shone bright with determination, authorities, and truth.
"Listen and listen well Murata and you can show them this conversation which you are recording with you recorder later."
How did he know? Thought Murata. His eyes wide with shocked.
"I really love and care Conrad deeply. Rest assured that I would never do anything to harm or hurt him. I know there going to be many obstacles including his insecurity. But I can bear it. I wont force my love on him. I know what I said last month makes it look like I just lust for him, but in reality it is far from it.
"Then what is it Shibuya? What is it about Conrad that you find attractive!" asked Murata.
Yuuri eyes soften. He seems to be deep in memory lane when he speak.
"Physically, I like his soft brown hair and eyes. But I love his smile the most and his eyes that twinkle when he laugh. It warms my heart every time. I like it when he does his best for the sake of everyone who is inferior of him. His personality, everything. And I won't want him to change one single bit."
Murata was touched hearing this. Who would have thought that King Yuuri was such a sweet talker, this side of Casanova that he rarely seen. Murata has no doubt now that Yuuri would take care of Conrad well.
"I rest my case, Shibuya."
"Good!"
"So" said Murata suddenly. The mischief glint is back in his eyes. "Any plans involving cornering Conrad or catch him naked in the bath or anything that involve you and him in lewd behavior in public-"
"Murata?"
"Yes Shibuya?"
"Stop trying to plant delicious image to my brain here. If you keep this up, I might just abandon my intention of going slow with Conrad and just take him!"
"Take a chill pill Shibuya." Said Murata. Then he added " Want to go the Club tonight?"
"Murata!!"
Yuuri was trying to get some sense into Murata. He just tell his heart out about Conrad and Murata asked him if he wanted to go clubbing?!! What is WRONG with the man? Try as he might but it was no used. Murata was already rolling on the floor with laughter.

Back at Blood Pledge Castle.
Conrad is sleeping in his bed. He is currently having a wonderful dream where he is playing with his sons and daughters with Yuuri at his side. Unconsciously, Conrad murmured Yuuri's name and smile in his sleep.
