Chapter 2

After the bandits ran away, rather than face the fury of the irate fire demon, the bedraggled group finally made their way into Shin Makoku. Wolfram was still enraged at the thought of being rebuffed--rebuffed! Him, the gorgeous, fire demon extraordinaire, not to mention brave, and skilled warrior that he is, rebuffed! Outrageous! Unthinkable!--and glared darkly at the nervous Maou. Yuuri just could not believe that this unpredictable, though very pretty, male fire demon was his long awaited fiancé. He had been expecting a beautiful, demure princess! Not a wild, bold prince! Especially a prince who looked a lot like a girl in that pink dress.

"Ah…." he said, rather weakly. "Are you sure you're my fiancé?" He watched, wide-eyed, as Wolfram swelled with anger.

"For the last time hennachoko! I. Am. Your. Fiancé!" he gritted, angrily. "So. Stop. Asking. If. I. Am. Or. Not! Or. Else!" His hand twitched, as if sensing the need for a fireball. Yuuri eyed him warily, feeling that the "or else" will be quite painful, and decided to drop the whole issue until he was safely behind the walls of the castle and around many, many eyewitnesses.

The soldiers couldn't help but be amused about the whole spectacle. But there was no way anyone would laugh, fearing that the fiery blonde would take it the wrong way and blow up (or them) again. The Captain was quite glad that they had reached Shin Makoku, feeling as if he had barely survived walking into a sandbear's nest. As the group quietly made their way to the castle, they heard a loud screech and a figure came flying out from the castle doors.

"HEIKA!!!!! OH HEIKA! YOU'VE COME BACK!!!!!!!!!" came the loud wail. No one even paid any attention to the sight of a something screaming and tackling the poor Maou. Wolfram, on the other hand, twitched as he watched a lavender haired man glomp onto the Maou and wail about how glad he was that the Maou came back to him.

"Gunter, please." said Conrad, amused. "You're crushing the Maou." He walked over to pry the clingy advisor from the Maou but was stopped when he felt a murderous aura emanate from the area. In fact, all the soldiers stopped what they were doing when they felt it.

"YuuuuuuRRIIIIIIIII!" came the bellow. Cue the cringing. "How DARE you CHEAT on me! I have been your fiancé for LESS than a DAY and I see you consorting with another MAN! And in FRONT of me! You are MY fiancé and I will not have you publicly CAVORTING with someone else! Do you HEAR me?!" Wolfram had had it. He didn't want to be stuck in this engagement in the first place and after accepting it, his fiancé was practically engaging in relations with someone else! And in front of him to boot! All of his insecurities flew up, and he, as normal, turned it into anger.

"First of all," Yuuri began. "I am not cheating on you. Second of all, it's impossible that you're my fiancé because, well, because you are a boy. So I can't marry you. We'll get this misunderstanding fixed up and then we'll all be happy. I know I have to marry one with Bielefeld blood, but I'm sure you have a sister or a cousin. I'll marry a nice pretty girl and you will probably be happy courting someone else too." The poor, oblivious Maou did not realize the danger that he had just placed himself in. While he had been talking, Wolfram just stood there, head bowed, feeling rejected, humiliated, and enraged. The wimp won't marry him because he's a boy?! Words could not describe his fury.

"Is that so." He said, silkily. He raised his head and Yuuri couldn't help but shiver at the look in Wolfram's eyes. "Let me make this clear to you. First of all, whether you like it or not, I am your fiancé. I do have a cousin but she is engaged to Damien von Karbelnikoff. Their wedding is in a week. I have no more female relatives. The issue of me being a boy has nothing to do with this engagement because the contract between our families was signed and sealed. There is no way to break the contract. Do you hear me? Even if there was a way to break the agreement, there is no way I would allow it. I will not have you make a mockery of me and my family. You will marry me and you will at least appear happy doing so, or I will make your life miserable." Wolfram could barely hold the tears back. He couldn't believe that the great Maou was such a wimp, a cheater, and a, a, jerk! He blinked back tears and haughtily swept past the gobsmacked Maou and walked through the castle doors. He would make this engagement work, because to be rejected like that, and in public!, was beyond humiliating. He turned around, looked at the shocked Maou and the clingy advisor, and smirked. "Before I forget, FIREBALL!"

KABOOM! All Yuuri could do was cough weakly, since Gunter had been knocked out, and stare despairingly at Conrad, who, curiously, had a hard gleam in his eyes. "What have I got into now?" he asked, morosely.
