"VV, we're going to the riverbank to look for Yuri. Come on let's go find him together."

Conrad was ignored again. He leaned down to look at her face feeling bothered to her and saw her lips moving, chanting something like Juno did when they heard the whistling sound but surely it shouldn't be like that. He grabbed her shoulder letting her face him listening to what she was saying.

"Yuri… Yuri… bring back Yuri to me… bring him… time… reverse the time to me… him back from where he was with me… give him back… the only one…" the only words he could clearly understand. He pitied her more. She was getting crazy.

"VV, Yuri fell off the cliff but there is a chance he's still alive. Let's look for him there, understand?" he tried talking to make sense out of her and she responded. She responded by shaking her head and said,

"No" and looked at him…

Conrad looked in her eyes and saw she was dead serious.

"What are you trying to say?" he asks,

And VV just clenched her fists and cried. A few moments then, she stood up with eyes on the ground. 'I'm scared if it will work but for Yuri I'll take the risk' she says to herself.

Wolfram was pissed off and jumps off from his horse. He walks fast to her and grabs her arms tightly.

"What's wrong with you?" he shouted and suddenly VV holds onto his shoulder. Her hands then slide to his hands slowly. It gave him the creeps and immediately shoves her hands.

"Hey! What's that for!?" he shouted

"Please lend me your strength, Wolfram." She begs him and slowly reaching for his hands at his sides and holds onto him. His feelings might have sympathized her thus without second thoughts he slowly hold onto her hands as well.

"What are you going to do?" he asked her.

"Just trust me" she said and smiling to him. She pulls him close to her with eyes looking at him.

"Close your eyes" she said to him and he complied

Everyone around them watch them hold hands together in middle close to the cliff. Then it begun, the air became visible as it started circling them. Then fire appears from the ground, mixing with the wind surrounding them. Everyone was amazed to the scene they're seeing. The two elements slowly created a wall surrounding the two covering them. Conrad felt worried and calls Wolfram. He tried walking towards them but the air kept him away.

"What? When? And how did I get here?" he thought surprised as he appeared somewhere far to where he was before.

"Where am I?" He asked directed as to no one just speaking to himself. He was no longer at the cliff or at land. He was like under water. He could see fishes and corals over the place. As he realized that he was under water, he held his breath instinctively, he thought of drowning but yet again he wasn't. Then a vague image of long black haired woman in a black dress appears approaching him.

"Wolfram von Belfield, you share the power of fire element I see." a matured voice of a lady says to Wolfram

"Who's there?" he demanded reaching for his sword yet wasn't there.

"Don't be afraid, this is only an illusion on where I am."

Her voice was familiar and thought it was VV. But then again the voice was more mature and ghastly.

"I demand tell me who you are! And why you brought me here!" he demanded and she chuckled as a reply.

"You're pretty arrogant for a person who came to wish from me. Anyhow, it's that girl the reason you're here. She sent you to me to make a wish"

"VV? How? And what wish you're talking about?"

"Never mind the how, you want to save your king am I right?"

"Why should I wish to you? I don't even know you."

"Right now, your king is in trouble. He's still in the river pulled by the river's current and if you don't make a wish. I think he won't make it. The human who kidnapped him plans to take him again from you and if he does succeed, you will no longer see your king." She said sarcastically.

"How dare you" Wolfram said to her but as his thoughts murmurs to him he finally decided.

'I don't want to lose him again.' He said to himself "Fine, then I will make a wish but what is the price of granting my wish?" he asked

"I can't tell you yet"

"Why? Will you take my life to save Yuri?" he asked as he felt broken if he can't live with Yuri or want to live away from him. She smiled.

"No more questions, it is better not knowing the whole truth. But don't worry I won't take your life. I will grant your wish now so be off!" she said and raised her palm to Wolfram pushing him in a black hole.

When he came to his senses, he feels the warmth of VV in his arms. He was sitting on the ground holding her as she was sleeping soundly. 'what just happened' he thought. He tried waking her up but it was no use she wouldn't wake up. Then he heard voices, voices of his comrades. The barrier surrounding them gradually suspends and appears in front of them was Conrad, Yozak and soldiers at the edge of the cliff. He sees them cheering to joy over something. 'What happened?'

Yuri was at the river at that time being pulled by the strength of the current. He tried swimming his way but he couldn't. Then when suddenly a mass object from the sky came approaching him. He was about to drown, however it pulled him from the river carrying him to his friends. Juno by then saw Yuri floating in air. He was very amazed. He didn't know Yuri could fly. His plan of capturing him again yet fails again.

His expression was in shock while his friends were very happy to see him. Once he landed in the ground Conrad hugged him and everyone did.

"What was that?" Yuri asks.

"I don't how but I'm certain that you were saved by them…" Conrad turns while everyone moves letting him see, "Wolfram and VV"

"Yuri!" Wolfram runs to Yuri hugging him as well. "Wolfram" and tears flowed in his face.

"I'm glad to see you again (tears).You helpless wimp, you should be more careful from now on."

"Sorry but thank you for saving me." Yuri said

They were happy to see one another again. As they were having a moment together, Wolfram remembers that he left VV lying in the ground unconscious. He felt concerned to her since without her he may not have save Yuri. He lets Yuri go and looks at him.

"What is it?" Yuri asks. "It's VV, because of her I save you."

"What? And how?" he asks as Conrad and the others started to get curious as well. They were all curious on how Wolfram has used his power in saving Yuri and what VV did to make him.

"I'm not sure myself to what actually happened… but she helped me saving you by using my powers" Wolfram answered looking straight to his eyes.

"What do you mean Wolfram? How can VV do that?" Conrad intercepted,

"I don't know it just happened that way" he said and then Yuri slowly walks to VV. He was scared and astonished at the same time.

Her hair covered her face obviously she looked very messy and vulnerable. Yuri knelt down, grabs her body near him. He removes her hair covering her face and looks at her concerned.

"Why is she like this?" Yuri asks to Wolfram who was standing behind him. Conrad went to his side and examined her.

"Don't worry Yuri. I think she's just exhausted." Conrad answered him. Her body was weak and her face was almost pale. Though relieved that she was only exhausted he still felt guilty and worried to her.

"Yuri, I honestly want you to know that I'm doubtful to VV. Just what is she?" Wolfram asks furiously.

"It's not what you should ask, it's who…All I know, is She's my friend and one of the closest. Also this isn't the first time she used her powers… I think." He answered calmly.

"What are you saying there young majesty? Your friend got majoku blood?" Yozak interrupts

"You think?' So she's been using her powers all this time? And how sure are you she's not an enemy! We knew only her for a couple of moments. We shouldn't trust her if that's the case!" Wolfram shouted as he getting distressed to the situation. Yuri felt Wolfram was being rude. He carefully placed VV down and stood facing him.

"She's my friend, and I don't like you accusing her to anything that she's not!" Yuri shouted

"How sure are you she's not an enemy?" Wolfram shouts back

"Both of you calm down!" Conrad said while he and Yozak pull away the two angry men. Wolfram jerks off Yozak's hand from his shoulder and turn away. Yuri and Conrad look at him also turns away. Yuri returned to VV.

"I know everyone is curious about VV and everything happened today but we should prioritize ourselves first. We should leave here and go home before it gets dark in the way." Conrad suggested but there was still silence in the air and no one's moving at all.

"I agree with the captain. We should leave now before the sun sets." Yozak said breaking the silence and started moving around helping the soldiers.

He went to Yuri's side.

"I'll be taking care of her for the moment, is that alright young master?" before Yuri could answer he lifted VV to his arms carrying her bridal style. Conrad tapped his shoulder, smiled at him.

"Let's go?" he asked pushing him gently to Wolfram's side.

"Ride with him, Wolfram" he said leaving the two love birds behind. Wolfram's horse was in front of them just waiting to take a ride. Conrad rides on his horse watching the two. They were still ignoring each other.

"Once we get our rest we could talk about this at home with the others" he said passing them.

While they travel back to Shin Makoku, Wolfram and Yuri finally started talking.

"I'm only worried about you. Sorry if I said something that offended you and about VV. I'll say thanks to her when she wakes up. And sorry perhaps" Wolfram said unexpectedly.

Yuri felt strange about Wolfram saying touching words and first on to make them up. Also he just said SORRY to VV. Was he sick? He also mentioned to thank VV. He touched him in his forehead and Wolfram surprise to his reply. Why did he just touch his forehead?

"Did you hurt your head Wolfram?" Yuri said which have annoyed Wolfram after he got what the meaning to what he was doing.

"I mean what I said Yuri!"

"Sorry, sorry. I was just. Mm. Surprised. But thank you and sorry for always making you worry for me." Yuri said smiling a bit to him.

"Don't be sorry. I can't help it. Worry or not, I always think about you" he replied back.

Yuri was very much touch to what he said but he stops himself. He's straight. No matter how gorgeous Wolfram is for him he's still a man. By that time, they arrived in Shin Makoku. He was surprised military guards populated the kingdom. Especially when they reached the gate, Yuri felt the tension on the air but when the guards announced he came people have livened up more. They were all delighted that their king has arrived. They cheered and threw flowers for him. They we obviously worried about him so as they saw Yuri alive with Wolfram, it was like thorns in their hearts were removed. They reached the castle letting the nurses and maids take care of them. All of them were applied medication at a big tent at a side in front of the castle. Their friends Dorcas and Gisela greeted them and immediately let them get inside to the tent to be treated. They were surprise to see unfamiliar girl with them. Conrad was the one who told she was Yuri's friend and she needed to be treated also. They let her lie down in a bed inside the tent and applied medication. Yuri finishes from his treatment ahead of them and went outside for a breeze.

"Yuri where are you going?" Wolfram asks him when he notices he was leaving.

"Outside, to get fresh air" he replied to Wolfram who was lying in bed taking care of.

"Wait for me!" He shouted and stands up even though his wounds weren't fully treated so Gisela came holding him up.

"Where do you think you're going soldier! Lie down!" she said but still Wolfram struggles.

"Bye bye Wolfram." He said also getting out of the tent before he gets a scolding. Then he meets his Dorcas sitting behind big boxes.

"You're skipping work?" Yuri asks him behind surprising the gut out of his friend.

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I won't skip work anymore!" he said. Yuri laughs.

"You're hilarious it's me, Yuri."

"Your majesty?" he turns to look at him

"Hey!" he said. He stood and walk towards him.

"You scared me." He says and smiled to him.

"We're really glad you're back, your majesty." Dorcas said feeling relief as well as the others. He smiles in response and said

"I'm glad I'm back too" then someone called his name.

"Yuri!" Greta shouts as the little girl runs towards him.

"Greta." Yuri kneeled on leg of his as he receive Greta's hug.

"I missed you" she said

"I missed you too" he replied to her patting her head.

"Where's Wolfram and Conrad?" she asked feeling worried

"Wolfram is still being treated while Conrad is I don't know where he went to."

"Do you know?" he asks Dorcas replying him shaking his head meaning no.

"I'm here, Yuri" Conrad appearing behind them with his charming smile.

Then Wolfram walks out the tent with unbuttoned uniform revealing his half bondage body and messy hair. (He looks hot...^o^)

"I finally got out." He said then turns to stare at Yuri.

"Finished already?" Yuri says in sarcasm. Then Wolfram glares at him.

Suddenly Cecile came rushing in to welcome Yuri with a big hug the same as for Wolfram and Conrad

"Thank goodness, you all came back. We were all so worried about you. Especially you! your majesty" she said caressing Yuri's face while hugging him tightly. Wolfram breaks them apart.

"That's enough mother. Yuri needs to rest. We had a big fight and we travel far, we need a rest for a moment." Wolfram said

"Is that so? Then I can take care of the majesty. I'll give him a special treatment that I learned from the west." Cecile suggested gesturing an example on what she wants to do with Yuri whilst making strange sounds as she does it. Wolfram blocks the view and lectured his mother that Yuri doesn't need it. While they were conversing Adelbert came.

"Welcome back, your majesty." Adelbert said looking at him sternly.

"Thanks Adelbert-san" Yuri said

"We have tons to talk about tomorrow but for today you should just rest." He followed.

"Yes, thank you." He got nervous all of a sudden. 'He's just like Gwendel'

Then he looks around, he noticed that Gwendel wasn't anywhere nears the training grounds or were to see him. Also Gunter, he didn't welcome in wide open arms this time.

"Where's Gunter? And Gwendel?" Yuri asks. Wolfram looks around.

"Yes, where are they?" he repeated he also didn't knew about this.

"They have not arrived yet from the noble's meeting" Conrad answered them.

"Really? When will they arrive?" he asks again then silence came from them.

"We don't for sure, sire." Adelbert answered for everyone's sake.

No one knows when will they be coming back, it should have only been a 3 day stay there but they haven't come back for a week already.

"Don't worry Gun and Gwen-darling will come sooner or later." Cecile said.

"You should rest, Yuri." Conrad said.

"Ah, right. Okay. How about you?" Yuri asked Conrad standing firm at his side.

"Adelbert and I will be talking. Rest assured Wolfram will take care of you" he said.

"I can rest on my own. I don't need Wolfram to tag along with me"

"What did you just say Yuri? You know that, I can't let you be alone again. Something might happen to you or you might go on looking for other girls while I'm not by your side"

"That's not true, I'm not like that!"

"Yes you are! It has proven and tested already. So I'll be tailing you from now on." Wolfram declares with his hands on his waist and seriously taking it. Yuri couldn't do anything but to follow. Wolfram pushes his back inside the castle while the others watch them feeling relieved.

"I'm relieved they return to their usual selves." Conrad says
