Chapter 5: Unspoken I

"YOU FOOLS!" A fist slams onto the table as the two on the floor quivered in fear. "FAILURES! IMBECILES! I should never have sent you! Look what you have done! I sent you idiots on a mission to retrieve the king for a 'better negotiation' but you went to stab his fiance, ran on a rampage around the castle and lastly accomplished none of the tasks I've given you... What do you have to say? No. Don't say anything or I might have to dirty my sword with YOUR UNWORTHY BLOOD."

With a kick, he sent the table flying towards his subordinates, sending them scrambling from the floor to avoid death. He was so tempted to pick up his sword and slice the two into half.

Now I'll have to resort to the next plan so soon.. Too early for my comfort. This is all these imbeciles' fault!

Fucking fools can't even complete a simple task. Grab the king, and go. Is that so hard?

Yes it is, considering that the castle was heavily guarded with elites and not to mention the majesty's loyal subjects.

Waving his hands to the soldiers positioned at the side, he slide his thumb across his throat, and smirked as the two on the floor grew green with panic.

They struggled and fought; he scoffed and laugh at their pitiful attempts, their last screams lasting throughout the whole corridor, cursing the man they were once loyal to.

He merely watched on with a disinterested face as their screams were finally silent in the end...

"Your majesty, you must eat something. Please stop making your people worry." Gisela watched on hopelessly as Yuuri reply her with a blank face.

She signed. This has been going on for the past two days with the king refusing to eat. Gisela knew how stubborn the king was and wished that he would change his mind about this madness but alas, Yuuri was adamant.

She looked towards the blond lying by Yuuri's side and signed yet again. Wolfram had better wake up soon or else the king will wreck himself like this.

Risking another chance, she spoke, "Wolfram would not want to see you like this when he wakes up."

Yuuri blanched, "If he wakes up that is... It has been two days, one night and eight hours... I refuse to before he wakes up. After all, its my fault that he ended up like this in the first place. It's the least i can do to repent. Even though this would not be enough... Nothing would ever be enough considering how Wolfram saved me..." Yuuri was wailing by the time he stopped speaking.

"Do you even understand how i feel Gisela? The agony of watching him lying there so weak and fragile. I bet you can never feel the anguish I'm experiencing now." his voice came out rather harsh and he almost regretted his tone.

Gisela grew red at the king's accusation. "Never felt? Whatever do you mean? I was there when I watched my beloved superior died away, wasted and worn. Do you think you are the only one who cared for him? Please do control your own anger before you carry out such slander towards me. I apologize if I've offended you by caring for your welfare. Good day to you your majesty!"

The door slammed shut as Gisela stormed out feeling furious and undignified. She knew that she had gone out of line, but looking at him being so much like her old self makes her all the more frustrated. Yuuri was acting the way she did when Susanna Julia died. The pain that she felt then was still as clear till today, and the guilt of being beside her yet not being able to stop her ate her away. The kind Yuuri should not be allowed to put through this torture that she once had to face. His fragile soul, righteous heart, magnanimous spirit is not to be tainted by hatred nor pain. The people need him, love him, as their king. And Gisela knew that the people in the army and cabinet need him too.

"Shinou, please bless our king..." Gisela whispered as the soft sobbing escaped through the cracks of the door again.

Gwendal, who was guarding at the door sighed wearily. Their king was way too vulnerable to his liking. In such crisis of adversity, it is best if the king remains calm and not grief over his injured fiance. He could not rely on the king and therefore cannot afford himself the time to even care for his wounded brother. He sighed again at the thought of his brother, the youngest of them two, the one most adored, yet most hated for his beauty. Gwendal cannot deny his love for his brother, though not blatant like their mother. He was always drawn to the irresistible smile that Wolfram would have when he was young; so cute, so innocent, unlike his haughty desperate self now. He found himself wondering yet again for his brother that he might just be happier if Yuuri had never come along. Treacherous thoughts they were but he found himself being drawn to that conclusion every time his mind ponders upon the fate of his youngest brother. And yet, he hopes for the best and only the best for both the males, as they are both very important to him. His loyalty is tested between his king and his fiance, and finds himself that should a situation where his brother and the king are at opposite ends, he would not know who to reach out to. Such thoughts haunted his mind more than he liked and he cannot help but feel a chill down his spine as to what might come towards the couple in the future. But again, this firms his resolve to protect them both, and he felt his role being ever important again. He knew that should crisis ever arise, he would not hesitate to strike the enemy of the state down, no matter who the person is.

Of course, all this actions need to be lead by a highly capable king, in which I believe would behave in a way completely different from our king now... He sighed for the third time today and wished the same thing everyone in the castle is wishing: for Yuuri to turn back into their Yuuri again.

Wolfram felt his whole body ache. Even though he could not feel his limbs, it was as though nails were driven through the palms of his hands, forcing him to remain still, pinned to reality.

He struggled to open his eyes and was greeted with impending blinding light. I'm still alive? Pain shot through him again as he tried to lift himself. Yup. Death would never be this painful.

It was then that he realized that the object that was pinning him down was none other than Yuuri himself, fast asleep beside his bed. Wolfram felt surprised in their close proximity. Yuuri in his mind would never act in this way around him. Maybe I'm really dead and this is heaven's way of rewarding me.

He felt his eyelids flutter heavily and tiredly, as sleep struggled to come upon him. He refused to succumb and forced himself to look at his beloved face. Does Yuuri seems thinner or is it just my imagination?

Wolfram lifted his hand to reach out to the king almost subconsciously. Only this time he allowed himself the liberty of stroking the king's face. He traced his fingers along the smooth jaw lines and up to the pink of his lips and to the tip of his nose before retracting his hand when Yuuri stirred ever so slightly. Wolfram grew lethargic again. Even the smallest action of moving his fingers requires him to summon all his energy. He ended up watching Yuuri, too tired to even move anymore.

As though by mere coincidence, Yuuri opened his eyes and was greeted by green orbs of the once unconscious boy. "WOLFRAM! You're awake! Oh my God, thank heavens! I must call Gisela right now!" Yuuri spluttered and begin to clamber to his feet when Wolfram caught his arm ever so lightly.

"..."

"What?"

"..."

"I can't hear you Wolf..."

Wolfram felt his face drained as he struggled to find his voice back. He opened his mouth, tried to scream, shout, anything... But nothing came out. Involuntarily, tears begin to fill his eyes.

He could not speak anymore...

And this marks the end of chapter 5! Sorry that i've not been uploading for ages... but i was held up because of exams and stuff. Forgive me l(n)l''

I assure you that this isn't going to be one of those sappy drama whereby wolfram cannot speak forever. But he isn't going to speak for awhile. And now that Yuuri is faced with this dilemma, how will it affect him and wolfram? And what is going on with the sinister plan of the mysterious mastermind?

I will upload soon! So please review, any review is always a joy for me!

With love and much apologies,

July's fantasies...
