Word of the Day: Caterwaul – to make a harsh noise or shriek
In Blood Pledge Castle, the residents know when the Maou has gone missing. The empty stone halls with ring with caterwauls, and there will be the distinct noise of crying coming from the library doors.
"Ohhhh Your Majesty! Why must you leave this poor Gunter who only wishes to serve you? I humbly bow to your great and wise decisions, but I must protect your hasty departures! Oh but for the Mazoku who bravely defeated Soushu and triumphed over the humans lands! Your Majesty King Yuuri who has the regal black hair and eyes and the rare water element! This poor Gunter only wishes to follow you to the darkest abyss as your loyal servant and—"
Yes. This noise is the only sound that would be heard for days on end. The lavender haired scholar will moan and cry and sing Yuuri's praises until the day the Maou decides to return.
Currently, the victims of Gunter's grief, were Gwendal and Lady Celi. Gwendal had, years ago, learned to tune everything that Gunter says out when his voice reaches that particular octave. Lady Celi, on the other hand, didn't have that much experience in dealing with a heart broken Gunter.
"Gunter…Darling…Please…quiet down now." She begged, rubbing her aching temple slowly, willing the pain to go away.
Gunter looked aghast. "How could I possible abandon my grief now? It would be simply impossible! Oh! No one understands this miserable Gunter!"
Lady Celi twitched and attempted to think of cute things that may distract her from her headache and the sight of a weaping Gunter. Yuuri in a dress…Greta in a dress…Her cute little Wolfie in a dress…Wolfie's stuffed bear bee that she still had from when he was little…Conrad when he first received a wooden sword…Gwendal's grumpy face when she braided his hair…Wolfram's blush when Yuuri kisses him…Greta and Devi when they're playing…Conrad's –
Her thought process was cut short when Gunter's voice suddenly rang out even louder then before. "Oh Your Majesty! WHY?"
Lady Celi's eye twitched for barely more then a second before she gave up and slammed her head on the table. If she was lucky, then it would knock her out and she wouldn't have to deal with Gunter's whining anymore.
Why did His Majesty decide to leave now of all days?
