" Yuri". Wolfram called out to Yuri who was asleep on his desk. " Wimp".

" what Wolfram". Yuri moaned face buried in his arms.

"…". It went silent.

" Wolf". Yuri heard drops and quickly looked over. Wolfram was on the ground in a puddle of blood. " WOLF". Yuri went to get up when he noticed the man in black behind Wolframs body.

" hm ha ha what a wimp". The man kicked Wolframs motionless body and then walked over to Yuri.

" ah".

" your turn my dear king". The man pulled out a knife and Yuri fell back. He started to crawl away but it was too late the knife came down.

" AH". Yuri sprung up from his nightmare followed by Wolfram.

" YURI WHAT'S WRONG". Yuri scanned around the room then stared at Wolfram before pulling him into a hug.

" a nightmare thank Shinou". Yuri held Wolfram as tight as he could. " I thought you were gone".

" ah what are you talking about wimp I'm right here". Wolfram said a little confused.

" nothing let's go back to sleep". Wolfram still confused laid back down and Yuri draped his arm around Wolframs waist. They fell back asleep almost immediately.

Even though the castle is asleep that didn't mean everyone was asleep as well. A certain black haired and eyed sage was busy in the library.

" you should really sleep my friend it's not good for your health or beauty if you stay up past your bed time". A man said floating beside said sage.

" shut it Shinou I'm busy researching why don't you go look through the halls. Murata said waving his hand still staring at his book.

" fine I'll go bossy just make it back to your room on time". Shinou said disappearing into the hallway.

" finally quiet again". He continued to read until one paragraph hit him on his head. " oh could it be".

" you really shouldn't snoop sage". An unfamiliar voice said making Murata turned. " you know too much".

" ah". Lightning flashed as Shinou started to head back to the library.

" what a crazy weather pattern". He said looking out a window next to the library. He turned forward and opened the doors to the library. He looked all over the library but it was empty except or a book on the desk. " oh Ken must of left strange he left a book out". Shinou picked up the book and put it back on the shelf. " I guess I'll go look around". Shinou said and left.

The next morning was surprisingly quiet especially since Shinou the big mouth was there. Finally he opened his mouth with a surprising question.

" has anyone seen Ken he wasn't in his room this morning… actually I haven't seen him since I left the library last night".

" oh".

" I hope he's ok". The maids said in the corner.

" you don't think that…".

" now now maybe he went back to the tower after finding something or he's asleep in another guest room".

" Ken doesn't stay asleep this long he's not in the library I wonder". Just that minute the door and Murata walked in.

" oh".

" KEN THERE YOU ARE WHERE WERE YOU".

" stop yelling Shinou my head hurts someone smacked me across the head last night and I woke up in an abandoned hallway".

" eh someone smacked you".

" yah I can't remember well".

" is it the killer". Doris said staring at the other 2 maids.

" oh my I'm too scared to stay alone". Effe said staring back and forth at Doris and Lasagna.

" Geika you are lucky to be alive".

" yes yes".

" please stop over exaggerating ladies I'm fine". The maids surrounded Murata.

" I would be scared to be alone I'd have to have Heika or Geika himself stay with me".

" oh yah brothers I don't think we told you about the man". Wolfram said looking over at Yuri who was asleep on the table.

" a man".

" yes in black he wore a black jacket, hat, and glasses".

" where'd you see him".

" when we found the hearts".

" I see well then from now on we must be careful…maybe he should go back to bed". Conrad looked over at Yuri who was starting to wake up.

" Yuri".

" ah".

" Heika take the rest of the day off and sleep". Conrad said while Wolfram stood up.

" no I'm fine".

" Yuri you not eating or sleeping and as your fiancé I will not let you stay that way now bed". Wolfram said pulling Wolfram by the ear out of the room.

" Lord Bielefeld is awfully strict". Doris said.

" mm hm". The other maids nodded in agreement.

" I found an interesting book in the library I'm going to go look at it again".

" I'll come as well my sage".

" no thanks you'll screw something up". Murata said walking off alone.

" that was mean". Shinou said floating out the door.

Meanwhile back with Yuri he wasn't able to sleep because of Wolframs deadly kick.

" oof…Wolf".

" shut up I need my beauty sleep".

" but what about me".

" you don't need beauty sleep your always beautiful". Yuri blushed at this he was glad Wolfram didn't see this.

" fine I'll go take a bath then I'll sleep". Yuri went to grab clothes in his closet when he dropped ring. " oops…". He said and dropped to his knees and looked for it with his hands. " where is it". His hand hit a small metal thing. " find it…oh boots why are there boots in the clothes closet". Yuri looked up to see a man in a black hat looking at him and holding a knife. " AH". Yuri jumped up and ran out of the closet grabbing Wolframs hand. He pulled Wolfram out of bed and picked him the carried him as he ran. The man and black slowly walking behind them his knife all bloody. Yuri stopped when he ran into Conrad.

" oh Heika Wolfram what's wrong".

" I'd like to know as well Yuri".

" the man in black…closet…bedroom…bloody knife". Yuri managed to choke out catching his breath.

" what he was in the closet".

" yah".

" Conrad what's wrong you looked bothered something else happened what happened".

" it's Geika".

" oh what happened".

" well". Yuri looked around the corner and his eyes widened in fear.

" Mur…ata". There pinned to the wall was the corpse of Ken Murata. " AH".

" Geika". Murata's neck, wrist, and body were slashed he was stabbed in the chest and in his blood it read " He shouldn't have metaled my dear king another 1 down how many people must die before I get my revenge my Lord".

" ah Murata".

" what has happened here". Shinou came up behind them.

" oh Shinou Heika".

" what are you all staring at". He asked looking around the corner his face dropped. " KEEEEEEEN".
