Author: Um…okay…Chapter 7 sucks right? Haiz…hrm…anyways, hope you'll enjoy Chapter 8. There's a twist to it…

Wolfram and Yuuri was ahead of Konrad and Greta. Wolfram's head was still resting on Yuuri's back. He could hear the beating of Yuuri's heart. It was a soothing sound. Wolfram could sleep right there and then. Yuuri's heartbeat was sort of like a lullaby. Konrad smiled. It's been a while since Wolfram been this happy. Konrad was happy to see his blond and short-tempered brother happy.

Soon, they got home. Yuuri and Wolfram walked into the castle hand in hand while Konrad carried Greta in his arms. Wolfram was happy about all this but he was really embarrassed. He was the one to break the engagement and now, they were together again. What will people say? Wolfram was really confused now. Just then, he heard Yuuri gasped.

"C-Cecilie-sama! What brings you here?" Yuuri stammered, scared of being captured in her tight, 'boobsy' hug.

"Wolf! Ihave a surprise for you!" she said happily.

"A-A surprise?"

Cecilie moved aside and reveal a tall, brunette young man with a good figure. He had deep blue eyes and a tanned skin.He smiled warmly at Wolfram. Yuuri felt a sense of jealousy. He looked at Wolfram who seems to be in a state of shock. Yuuri held his shoulders.

"Wolf? You okay?" Yuuri asked.

"E-Elemunt…"

"Elemunt? I think you meant element."

"No, sire. Elemunt is my name," the brunette spoke, his voice not too deep and not too high. He bowed gently.

"Oh! Sorry…"

"It's okay," Elemunt stepped forward.

""Why? How? I thought…I thought you were…," Wolfram sounded like he was about to cry.

"Dead? You shouldn'ttrust what other people say so easily, Wolfram. Missed me?"

"Y-You idiot! You made me cry for nothing then! I cried myself dried because of you, you know that? Idiot!" Wolfram turned and crossed his arm.

"Aww, come on, Wolfram! Not like I did it on purpose!" Elemunt tried to reason.

"Hn!"

Elemunt walked forward and faced Wolfram and gave him a cute pout. Wolfram smiled and then laughed.

"You never change, Elemunt!"

"You too. As beautiful as ever..." Elemunt gave a sincere smile.

Wolfram blushed. He looked at Yuuri, who seemed to be in a state of…confusion. Wolfram asked everyone to have dinner and with that, he pulled Yuuri by the wrist into Yuuri's bedroom. There, Yuuri sat on the bed, looking at Wolfram.

"What?" Wolfram asked.

"What's going on? Who is he?"

"Elemunt is my childhood friend. Same like Elizabeth…except he wasn't as pushy as her."

"Oh. Why have I never heard about him from you before?"

"I thought he was dead. Do you think I would like to talk about him if I thought he was dead?"

"Good point."

"Not a good point, you just never listen or think."

"Hey! Come on, if we are gonna be fiancé, can you at least be nicer to me?"

"Hmph!"

"Tell me the story? What happened with Elemunt, I mean."

"He was a fine man, he was also one of my soldiers. And he was also…my lover."

"L-LOVER?"

"Yes. He said he was going to propose to me. So, the next day, he went out to buy an engagement ring. But…he never came back..."

"What happened then?" Yuuri's eyes soften.

"Then, one of the soldiers reported to me that while he was out in the city, he heard a few people said Elemunt was dead. He was caught in a land slide. I cried terribly that night. I cried myself dry. After that incident, I promised myself never to fall in love again because love really hurts. Then you came along. That's when I changed…"

"Oh. So, you're telling me..., that you have, absolutely, positively, no feelings for him anymore?"

"Nope."

"Better not cheat on me…," Yuuri said firmly.

"Fine. Let's shower then go for dinner."

"Okay. Wash my back and I'll wash yours?"

"Fine with me."


After bathing, Wolfram and Yuuri went to the dining hall together, hand in hand. Wolfram smiled. This was what he had always wished for. Attention from Yuuri and holding hands…Wolfram let out a happy sigh. They entered the dining room. They were greeted with smiling faces. Wolfram blushed. Although this was what he had always wanted, doing it in public is a bit embarrassing. Yuuri and Wolfram walked towards the table and sat beside each other. They were served their dinner.

"So, Wolfram…,"Elemunt started.

"Yes?"

"I heard you were engage to the Maou."

"Er…yeah."

"But you broke it with him, right?"

"Yeah, bu-!"

"Great!" Elemunt cut in.

"Huh?" both Yuuri and Wolfram said.

"Because, I'm gonna get back at where I left you, Wolfram."

"WHAT?" Yuuri exclaimed.

"Care to explain, Elemunt?" Wolfram sounded shocked but he relaxed himself.

""I mean, I'm gonna propose to you!" Elemunt beamed.

Right then, Wolfram could hear his mother squel in delight. Yuuri and Wolfram sweat dropped. How are they gonna break the news that they were together again? Yuuri and Wolfram looked at each other and then back at Elemunt, who was still beaming. Oh, great! An even bigger problem. After dinner, Wolfram and Yuri went to have a walkin the garden as Elemunt said he wanted to soak in the bath a little longer.

"What are we gonna do, Wolf?"

"I don't know."

"Um…let's just break it to them."

"No! Elemunt is a VERY sensitive guy. I don't want him to be hurt."

"Then what you propose we do?"

"I'm thinking…," Wolfram bite his thumb. Yuuri found it rather adorable. Wolfram look up when he felt Yuuri's gaze on him, "What..?"

"Nothing, you looked like a baby doing that."

"Babies suck their thumb, not bite it."

"I know, but it was kinda like a baby."

"Haha, funny. Help me think."

"Um…I've got it!" Yuuri suddenly exclaimed, making Wolfram jump.

"H-Huh?"

"Make him fall for another person!"

"And how do you suppose we do that?"

"We'll play Cupid."

"Stupid?"

"Cupid! Cupid is like a match-maker."

"And who do you suppose would we match him with?"

"We'll try everyone in the castle! There's one he's bound to like."

"And if it fails?"

"Then…you are gonna get two husbands!" Yuuri grinned.

"If you insist…but he gets me then. He's more attractive than you are," Wolfram smirked.

"Hey! Fine, if it fails, we'll make up another plan."

"Fine."

Yuuri sat beside Wolfram and hugged him by the waist. Wolfram rested his head on Yuuri's shoulder. They sat like there for a while and then they decided to retire. Tomorrow was going to be their first mission. Mission 'Get-Elemunt-Another-Lover'.

Oh, boy. Wolfram had a bad feeling about this.
