LIES AND WONDERS
"Yuuri!!!"
A voice echoed through Blood Pledge Castle. Shibuya Yuuri cringed at the loud voice yelling his name. He uttered a grunt and decided to just wait in Gwendal's office for a certain blond prince coming storming into.
"Wonder what he's going to accused me this time. Let see…I have my usual morning jogging with Conrad, lessons with Gunter, lunch with Greta……." Yuuri thinks and thinks more but found no differences between his day today and yesterday, and the day before that. And before, before, before… Yuuri sighs.
"Yuuri!!!" lord Wolfram von Belfield dashed into the room with a very, very angry looks. Yuuri chuckled.
"Don't you laugh at me, you wimp! Just exactly what did you do with that Weller this morning?" wolfram yells across the black hair maou.
Yuuri rose from his seat. "It's nice to see you too, Wolfram. How is your visit to the boundary?" a smile on his face.
"Don't change the subject, wimp. Answer me!!" Wolfram lost his patience and going to grabs Yuuri's arm when Gisela appears at the doorway. "Excuse me, Heika, your Excellency."
"What is it, Gisela? It better be important." Wolfram snarled at the sergeant.
"Don't talk like that to Gisela, Wolfram. Be more polite, will you?" Yuuri said hurriedly before Gisela could open up her mouth.
"What? You wimp! Why are you defending her? Oh, right. She's a girl and as I recall, you want to be with a girl instead of a man like me! You like her didn't you, Yuuri?" Wolfram glares icy daggers at Yuuri. Yuuri wonders how this mazoku who controls the element of fire can be so cold sometimes.
"So what if I like her, Wolfram? What will you do about that?" Yuuri fought back leaving both Wolfram and Gisela stunned.
"You…you like her, Yuuri?" Wolfram stammered at his fiancé.
"Yes. I like her very much, Wolfram. Very, very much." Yuuri calmly answered Wolfram.
Wolfram turns his heels and makes a dash towards the exit. Gisela can see droplets of tears falling on the smooth face. Yuuri sighs again and resume sitting. "Sorry about that, Gisela. I just need a bit of break from him,"
Gisela shook her head. "It's alright, Heika. But are you sure you don't want to went after him? He looks very sad,"
"It's alright. Let him be," Yuuri said giving attention to a document in front of him 'let him be, Yuuri. And he will give up on you,'
"Ehem, Heika, I recall you send Lord Weller to get me?" Gisela broke the silence that haunted the office. Yuuri laugh sheepishly.
"Sorry about that too, Gisela. Right, I did send you to come here. I have something to ask you. About this morning…" Yuuri paused, thinking whether he should say it or not.
"This morning, Heika?" Gisela asked.
"Yes. This morning, I felt…different. I felt like…I don't know. I guess I am not feeling that well today,"
"Oh, Lord Weller did inform me that you almost fainted this morning. Should I hold a check for you, Heika?" Gisela asks with a frown on his face. Yuuri replied with a nod.

"Wolfram?" Gunter asked Gwendal's and his new guest on the castle's porch. The prince looks like he has been crying.
"What?" Wolfram replied back with a question. Cold.
"Are you alright?" Gwendal turn asking the question. It isn't usual such brotherly affection from Gwendal can be seen to public but with only three of them there, he can even hugs Wolfram. Can, but not that he's going to do it.
"Yeah. I'm fine…"Wolfram answered with a hint of sadness at the end. He looks up to Gwendal's face, then to Gunter's face. "You're going to be very happy, Gunter. I just found out who Yuuri…who Heika really likes. And it isn't me. It's your daughter." The word 'heika' came out like a whisper from Wolfram's mouth.
"What??" neither the elder men can process the piece information that Wolfram have informed them.
"Wolfram, are you sure about this?" Gwendal asking for certainty. Sometimes, usually, Wolfram will just jump into conclusions very easily, especially if it involves a certain black hair, black eyes boy.
Wolfram nods his head weakly. Slumping his head to the ground. "He said it to me that he really like Gisela. Very, very much,"
Gwendal and Gunter exchanges glance. Gwendal sighs again, rubbing his forehead. "What are you going to do now?"
"Breaking the engagement then. What else can I do? There are no more hopes for me…" Wolfram said. Tears gather at his beautiful green eyes, giving warnings to spill soon.
The evening was surely quiet for Blood Pledge Castle. And no one seems to be at ease since they know, bad things will happens soon. Calm before storm.
