Chapter 1
His eyes started to swell. Wolfram clutched his gown and tears dripped onto the ground. He clenched his fist tighter and tighter-He just could not bear the pain.
Why? I…I…I didn't choose this. I never wanted this. Why is this happening to me?
Falling to his knees, the tears he held back became unbearable. He buried his face in his knees, not knowing when the agony in his heart would stop. He felt hopeless to everything. He knew that the fate that The Great One had given him would be a cruel, painful one. Yes, it was not being able to be returned the love he felt.

The sun crept its way up into the sky. The air had that Fresh smell that everyone loved and there was a cooling chill in the wind. Yuuri opened his eyes, shutting them back as the bright sunrays entered through the window. He turned to his side and saw an empty space. That would have explained the peaceful sleep that he had gotten the previous night, without a "Wimp" or a fist in his face. Wolfram wasn't there.
"Oh man. Where did he go off to this time? " Yuuri complained, covering his head back with the pillow, he fell back asleep.
"Your Highness, good morning. How did you sleep last night?" Conrart asked, flashing that bright smile of his again.
"mm ..fmphh hm mhhph fmm mm fmphh!" Yuuri mumbled from under his pillow. Obviously, Conrart had not understood a single word Yuuri had said, and had asked him to repeat.
Yuuri lifted his head up from the pillow a little and grumbled, seemingly annoyed, " I said, I told you not to call me that." He then plonked back into bed and continued dozing off, but got up when Conrart had asked him to. He got dressed (into his black uniform again) and was then escorted to the dinning hall.
" Good Morning your Majesty!" Lady Cheri greeted as the Maou entered the Hall.
"Good Morning Yuuri! Where's Wolfram?" Gretta asked, with a smile on her face.
"Good Morning! To be honest, I'm not really sure. I haven't seen Wolfram all morning. He's probably practicing or something." The Maou replied, sipping his tea.
"Oh…"
Everyone then continued on with their breakfast, after which, Yuuri had to go for his lessons with Gunter and the rest went to do whatever they had to.

The day was almost over and Yuuri had finished his "Understanding the past of the Shin Makoku" lessons .He had met up with Conrart for a chat while strolling around the palace.
"Man am I exhausted, Gunter had me locked up in that study all day bragging about the History of Shin Makoku.
Say Conrart, do I really need to learn all of that? Is it actually necessary?" Yuuri complained, yawning.
"Your highness, you must understand-as king of the shin makoku you must know your country well. It is your duty."
Yuuri halted in his tracks. He turned to Conrart and pouted. "I told you not to call me that! You're my Godfather! And besides, it's really weird when you do…"
Conrart smiled. "I'm sorry Yuuri."
"That's better…"
The next morning, Gwendal had burst into the dining hall during breakfast alerting that various human countries had been practicing war activities. The problem was that they were all doing it, together, probably to make plans for attacking shin makoku. He added that the best thing to do then was to prepare for a war as well.
"But you can't just jump to conclusions! You're not even sure. I mean, if we went to prepare for war, wouldn't it just raise suspicion?" Yuuri protested.
"Your highness, you have to understand that if the humans did attack, many lives will be lost. The best option of protecting our country is to hurry and prepare for war before its too late." Gwendal said, raising his voice.
"No matter what I will not go into war! I will not allow lives to be risked over such trivial misunderstandings! I won't do that!" Yuuri shouted, getting up from his chair.
"But what if they do attack?! As the Maou you can't be so selfi-"
"No! No matter what I won't change my mind!" Screaming, Yuuri hit his fist on the table. After which, all that was left was silence. Everyone seemed shocked, including Gwendal.
"Very well you Majesty." Gwendal replied, and then left the hall. Yuuri sat back down and continued eating. To think he wanted me to start a war? Is he kidding?! How am I supposed to feel if I just forced my people to die for me?
Trying to break the awkward silence in the air, Conrart tried to start a conversation.
"So Yuuri, have you seen Wolfram? I haven't seen him all day."
"Wolfram!" Yuuri gave a soft shout, sounding surprised. He had forgotten all about him. Come to think of it, Wolfram hadn't appeared at all for the past 24 hrs. He hadn't even come to Yuuri's room to sleep the night before! So where exactly was he?
"I guess I haven't seen him at all either."
That night, Yuuri couldn't sleep at all. War? Never. That was all he could think of.
As he glanced at the other half of the bed, he felt worried wondering where Wolfram was.
The night was so quiet, so- peaceful. Yuuri smiled. That had made him realize how much he had missed Wolfram being by his side, punching him in his sleep, murmuring out the word "Wimp"…… all the things that used to irritate him so much. But now, all he felt was lonely.
"Wolfram…."
