Chapter 4:
I'LL STAND BY YOUR SIDE, FOREVER
Wolfram, had fallen asleep beside Annisina's invention on a chair, clutching Yuuri's hand in a death grip, with the puppy sleeping peacefully tucked in his arms. It was no wonder that he would wake up with a cramp!
Outside the door, Gwendal looked at his little brother's face, looking quite grim and clenched his fists tightly. Suddenly, from behind, a soldier came up and saluted him.
"Your Excellency, I've got very urgent news!"
"Go on-I'm listening!"
"My lord, the castle door guards have just reported that they have seen many carriages moving towards the castle and just now the news has arrived that Lord Waltorana Von Bielefield and all of the ten nobles are coming to the castle to sit for a conference over a very urgent matter. No, doubt, it's them!", said the soldier stiffly and left after informing him.
Gwendal's left eye began to twitch and he unclenched his hands and slowly dragged his feet towards his study to talk to Gunter, who was currently occupying his room.
"This is absolutely absurd and outrageous", shouted out Gwendal, banging his fists on the conference table.
"No, my dear lord, it's not, it's perfectly logical and sane, since King Yuuri is currently inactive and I can safely presume that it will certainly take a long time to wake him up from his supposed sleep!",replied Waltorana, with the same ferocity as Gwendal.
"But my lord, just because our beloved King Yuuri is currently unconscious, that doesn't mean that without his or lord Wolfram's consent, we can just dissolve their engagement, declare him as the new King and get Wolfram married to some candidate of your choice! It is certainly unacceptable and none of us would agree to your motion!", said Gunter with much surprise.
"Oh, no, we agree completely with lord Bielefeld! It must be done as The Great Demon Kingdom must have a King at this crucial hour as stated under law 43-c of the constitution!", agreed few of the other nobles.
"And who do you suppose, is worthy of Wolfram's hand in marriage other than King Yuuri?" asked Gwendal disdainfully.
"You don't have to worry about that! The one I've selected is Elrich Von Vilkhosh! I think that he is quite capable of carrying out the duties of the Royal Consort quite perfectly!" said Waltorana with much enthusiasm, as much as he could show, that is!
"What the hell are you all doing??", barged a very disturbed Wolfram, with the puppy- with the same kind of expression on his face- stacked in his arms.
"You all are plotting against Yuuri?? You want to separate the both of us? So that he will be all vulnerable to your evil schemes? Well then, let me tell you something that you are unaware of! I LOVE Yuuri, and under no circumstance, will anyone be able to persuade me to leave and thus betray him! My convictions are as strong as his! And thus as I have already promised him, if he falls, then I shall fall with him. So, there you have it. I will stay by his side and continue to support him, until he no longer needs me, even if it will break my heart every day, to see him flirt around with some woman!", said Wolfram desperately.
"Wolfram! Behave yourself! Is that any way to talk to the council??", scolded Waltorna.
"Wolfram, please be patient as we are all trying to solve this matter peacefully!",said Gwendal trying to calm him down.
"How can you ask me to be patient Brother? Don't you see, Yuuri's suffering out there and he needs our support at this time and this is how we're all repaying him! By betraying him at the time of his need? After all he's done, this is how we're paying him back, by backing out! He's done soo much for the good of our Demon Kingdom already! And he's still thriving to be a good King to us all, so that we don't have to suffer! Most of the time he just rushes into the battle field, without even considering his own safety, just so that he could save the lives of our citizens! We're repaying his unselfishness in the most justified way according to you- by removing him from his position! Even now, I can still feel his presence! You're right, but just give me one good reason for me to believe that he is not worthy of being the king, even after he was Shinou's chosen one?", pleaded Wolfram.
"Because, Wolfram, currently, he's not able to serve as our king, because, he's already dead!", shouted Waltorana, banging on the table.
"Don't you dare to repeat that sentence again uncle, because he's still alive and he's just unconscious. When he wakes up, he will resume his position again".
"I'm afraid that won't be, my dear nephew! And I, as the current head of the Bielefeld Family, am declaring your engagement with the previous Maou as Void and henceforth, you are officially engaged to the Elrich Von Vilkhosh who's quite worthy of our station and is befitting your companionship much more that that mongrel will ever be!"
"How dare you uncle? How dare you insult him and his greatness with petty words? Don't you feel that he has earned his position after all that he's done for the good of the Great Demon Kingdom? I don't believe this! I never thought that my uncle could fall this low, even for such selfish reasons!"
The awestruck and dumbfounded puppy, stared at Wolfram with wide eyes at his sudden proclamation and looked at him with eyes full of new found admiration.
----------------Yuuri POV---------------
My oh my!!All this time I thought that he kept on continuing with the engagement only because of his pride! But now it seems that his feelings for me are genuine!
I'm sorry Wolfram because I feel that somewhere deep down, I have done grave wrong toward you and I'm sorry for not having taken this engagement seriously and thinking of it as farce!
I really am very sorry Wolfram! From now on Wolfram, I'll be extra careful, so that I don't miss out on any chance to know more about the wonderful person that you are!
I'm really surprised though, that you've managed to defend me so well until now, even though, it was you, who always kept calling me a Wimp!
You have come to know me so well! If only I could tell this to you in my own voice!
But alas! I can't!
But now, I'm getting a strangely giddy feeling in my stomach, and it's slowly making its way towards my heart! Still, I'm not sure that I've experienced this kind of feeling before, and it's making me feel so happy inside all of a sudden, Which makes me think that I could get used to this feeling!
Maybe, just maybe, I'm starting to fall for Wolfram's charms—which he expresses in his own fiery way!, even though It raises the question "Am I really gay?"
Now, I've done it again and am just blabbering to myself again! I oughta stop this! It's really becoming a really bad habit of mine!
Once again I sincerely apologize to my dear readers for not updating sooner! And I really thank you all for being so patient and understanding with me! I'll try to update soon and so, until then, stay put and live life to the fullest, coz, you all know that life is quite uncertain and enjoy every moment you can, with the ones who care about you and love you till death and beyond.
