Chapter three:……who fell in love……
"They watched from their window in horror as the stranger who took their comrade disappeared into the night."
Greta gasped and sat up. "Oh no, that's terrible!"
Shinou nodded. "It is really terrible."
"What happened next, Shinou? Tell me, tell me please!"
He let out a laugh at the eager little girl. "Alright, I'm getting to it."
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\--------------------------------///////////////
"The next morning, Furi and his friends went to see the King about what happened. They told him all about the stranger they had seen."
"…and when we got there, he had Wolfram and retreated out the window," Conrad stated with a twinge of anger resting in his voice.
The king brought his head to a rest in his hands. "I'm so sorry about this. I shouldn't have asked this of you. I just wanted a way to protect my daughter."
Conrad shook his head. "Your majesty, none of us blame you for what happened. We need to know about any persons you think could have any reasons to take her."
The king looked to the group and to the floor. "There was one man I can think of above all others. He claimed to be the king of a far off land. Tsumei I think was his name. He came to me asking for my daughter stating it was imperative I do so. I asked to explain to me but all he told me was, 'My business is my own and it is of no concern for yours.' After I turned him away, he left without another word. But something about his gaze told me he wouldn't give up."
"Do you have any idea where this man would be?" Murata asked.
"Alas, I don't. I have exhausted dozens of man-hours trying to bring some information on this man to light but nothing. I am truly sorry about your friend. Please forgive me."
"Sire, we'll find Wolfram. For now, is there anything else you can tell us about this man," Gwendal spoke keeping his calm demeanor.
"There is one thing. When I questioned him about his kingdom, he just smiled and told me, 'It doesn't exist. Atleast not yet.' I was put off by this statement. In asking him what he meant, he just smiled and replied; 'I have said all there is to say about it.'
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\--------------------------------///////////////
"Reviewing what the king said, Furi and his friends tried to come up with a plan to save their friend."
"How can we look for something that doesn't exist?" Yuuri asked.
Gwendal furrowed his brow. "There is no such place. It has to be somewhere." He turned to Yozak. "What happened in there?"
The spy scratched his head as he reviewed the events. "Actually, sir I don't really remember. I heard a noise out by the window and carefully went to check it out." I opened it and I felt a hand make its way to me face. He put a rag on my face and it smelled very strange. I tried to shove the guy off but the smell from the rag was making it hard for me to stay awake. The last thing I remember was tearing off a piece of his uniform."
Conrad looked to him. "That doesn't leave us much information. Anything else, Yozak?"
The redhead pulled a piece fabric. "Actually, I think I got a very good clue. It has a seal on the side." He showed it them. And just as he claimed, on the side was a seal with a silver snake with two daggers behind it.
"It looks like a royal symbol," Murata observed. "I wonder where it's from."
Yuuri gave a wide hopeful grin. "That means once we trace it, we can find Wolfram!"
"Sire, its not that easy. We don't know which direction they went or how far it is."
"But we can ask around. Wolfram needs our help. We have to save him."
"Shibuya, you have to calm down. We will save Lord von Bielefeld but we need to gather information first. Like this symbol, for instance. We need to find which kingdom has a snake as a symbol."
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\--------------------------------///////////////
"While Furi and his friends studied the mysterious markings, far away in another castle, their friend soon found himself in the care of a foul king."
Slowly recovering from his drug induced coma Wolfram opened his eyes. 'Where am I? What happened to me?' He brought one arm around to prop himself up as he looked around. "What is this place?"
As he sat himself up, memories of the previous night flashed in his mind. "That's right! I was kidnapped in place of the princess! But where am I?"
He moved from the bed to the window. As far as he could see, a thick forest surrounding the castle. "Hmph, doesn't look so bad."
A sound from behind caused the Mazoku to jump. A man wearing a royal robe with dark hair and eyes stood in the doorway. He held out a hand towards Wolfram. "Good morning, my Princess. I trust you slept well. I am Tsumei. I welcome you to my home."
"I thank you for the welcome but I suggest you release me at once," he retorted.
Tsumei let out a hearty laugh. Hearing his laugh sent an uneasy feeling to Wolfram's spine. "My, you have quite the spirit. I can immediately tell you are going to great company. Please, join me for breakfast. I shall have my maids assist you in getting ready. Once you are through, we'll go for a ride about my kingdom." Without giving him another word or glance, he was gone.
"I don't believe this!" he shouted. "I am supposed to continue this charade! I'm not staying in this place another minute! The flames to which all the particles belong! Obey the demon tribe that destroyed the originators!" He gave a swift flick of wrist but nothing happened.
"What? My maryoku…" He repeated the phrase and still nothing. "Dammit, why isn't it working?!"
He lost his focus slightly as the door opened again. "Princess, we are here to help you get ready," said a cheerful maid.
"You've wasted your time. I am not going anywhere!"
She gave him a smile, that was cheerful yet slightly unnerving. "I'm sorry but I'm afraid our master insists that you do. We are under orders to have you dressed and ready for the day whether you agree or not."
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\--------------------------------///////////////
"Trapped and under the surrender of Tsumei, the poor Mazoku was forced to remain under the watchful eye of his Highness."
After fighting and accommodating to the maids might, Wolfram was dressed and downstairs, awaiting the carriage to leave.
"Ahh, you look lovely. I might even go as far as to say you are even more radiant then the sun itself." Tsumei walked door the stairs and stood beside Wolfram. "That lovely shade of green matches your eyes perfectly." He took the blond's hand and slightly grazed his lips over the ivory skin.
Wolfram had to suppress a shudder. The fact that this person had kissed his hand was the furthest thing from his mind. 'There is something about his touch. Something very abnormal.'
Tsumei let go of the palm and moved his arm to Wolfram's shoulders. "Come, let me give you the grand tour." He assisted wolfram into their ride and proceed out the gates.
Tsumei started to explain his kingdom's history but it fell on deaf ears. As Wolfram looked around the town, he had an almost sickly feeling. Tsumei wrapped an arm around the young man's shoulder. "Are you enjoying yourself?"
Wolfram remained quiet but answered in a nod. Even after Tsumei tried to be polite and hand him a rose, the young mazoku still couldn't shake his suspicions. 'There is something very wrong about this place. It be in the middle of summer and I'm freezing.'
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\--------------------------------///////////////
"Unable to wait any longer for his friends to decide on what course of actions to take, Furi packed up his horse and set out to find his dear friend. Little did he know, he would not be alone on his journey."
After a full day of researching books, talking to people and arguing with Gwendal and Murata, Yuuri was left with little options. "I can't believe after all this we still don't have any leads. I thought for sure we would at least be ready to leave by now."
The door slightly opened and Conrad leaned against the wall. "You must be disappointed, Heika."
The upset maoh turned with a sour look to the brunette. "Conrad, I told you to call me by my name."
Conrad stood up from his spot and walked over to Yuuri. "Sorry, Yuuri. You shouldn't be moping about. You must have faith in us and Wolfram. I'm sure his fine."
Regardless of his comforting smile, Yuuri still felt ashamed. Here was his godfather comforting him after the double black just stood by and let Conrad's little brother be taken.
Yuuri looked from Conrad to his hands. "Conrad, I'm sorry."
"What do you mean?" was the reply, laced with mild shock.
Yuuri let out a deep sigh. "I just stood there and watched as that guy left with Wolfram."
Conrad placed a sympathetic hand over Yuuri's. "We all watched him. You don't have to blame yourself."
"Conrad…" His onyx eyes looked up into chestnut colored. It was then Yuuri could tell Conrad blamed himself just as much as Yuuri did.
"We should put some faith in Wolfram. He'll make it through long enough to save him." Conrad stood up to leave. "We should rest up if we intend to keep up the search tomorrow."
The younger man looked to him and nodded. "Yeah, you're right."
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\--------------------------------///////////////
Under the dead of night and sure everyone else was in bed asleep, Yuuri snuck out of his bed to the stables. "I know I shouldn't leave without telling them but I just can't sit around and wait any longer. I just can't sit and wait while Wolfram might be endanger."
"Well, it's about time you got up, Bocchan."
Yuuri jumped as the form of a certain red-haired friend walked closer. "Y-Yozak! What are you doing here?"
"I was enjoying the night air. I'm sorry, Your Majesty, but I can't let you go out all by yourself."
"But, Yozak you don't understand. I-"
"Which is why I'm going with you. The Captain would never let me live it down if I knowingly let his highness ride off into the night all by himself."
Yuuri felt a grin stretch across his face. "Yozak…"
"Don't forget us."
Yuuri looked over Yozak's shoulder and took in the figures of Murata, Gwendal and Conrad.
The Sage waved to his friend. "Hey Shibuya. You didn't honestly think you were gonna leave without us, did ya?"
Downright dumbfounded, Yuuri's mouth hung open. "Murata, what are you guys doing here?!"
"We're coming with you. We know by now, Shibuya, you'll do anything to make things right. To be honest, I expected you to try thing stunt at dinner." The sage made his way to a horse.
"S-s-so you all were just waiting for me to sneak out of my bed and come down here before you planned on telling me?!"
Gwendal was the next to ready his stead. "You always act so impulsively we figured it you would do something to this degree sooner or later. Since we are here, we might as well get moving." He threw his leg over and mounted. "Besides, we've already notified the king of our plan to leave and he gave us permission to take these horses."
The double black tried to regain his thoughts. "So wait, if you guys had all this planned out already, why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Yozak patted his back. "My idea, Heika. I wanted to see the look on your face when we did."
Yuuri was at a loss for words. On the one hand they tricked; on the other hand they were gonna save Wolfram. He chose to go with the latter and not stay mad at them. "Okay then what are we waiting for!" He led them out of the stables at full speed, out the courtyard and into the night.
