Special thanks to Elle von Werner for reviewing! Things are going to get really interesting in this chapter! Here's chapter 12!
"You're mad at me for kissing your fiancé" Wolfram said.
"You think?" Wolfram asked angrily and Prince Wolfram sighed.
"At any rate, we should get out of here" Prince Wolfram said.
"How? The door's lock" Wolfram said.
~Sleeping Yuuri~
"I can't believe that worked" Wolfram said.
"Years of escaping does pay off eventually" Prince Wolfram said.
"Uh, sure whatever" Wolfram said as he found his sword and picked it up. He saw a second sword and stared at it.
"That would be mine" Prince Wolfram said and picked up the sword.
"You look to wimpy to handle a sword" Wolfram said.
"I'll show you what I can do when I have time. Right now, we have to go" Prince Wolfram said.
"For once I agree with you" Wolfram said.
~Sleeping Yuuri~
"There's no way to enter the castle from the dungeons?" Conrad W. questioned.
"They thought that the king would be safe from the prisoners" Conrad said.
"But then the king would have to walk to the dungeon to question the prisoners, which make the king even more unsafe" Prince Yuuri said "So the castle become abandoned when they build the another castle"
"Until Saralegui's father took over" Conrad said.
"You keep on saying Saralegui's father, why don't you say his name?" Murata asked.
"One, his name is forbidden in the kingdom because of the curse he placed on Prince Yuuri" Conrad said.
"Two, because of that, no one really knows his name" Prince Yuuri added. There was rustling of bushes down the road and Conrad W. pulled out his sword.
"Damn it, I hate trees" a voice much like Wolfram said.
"You hate nature then" another voice that also sound like Wolfram.
"No, I hate tree when I can't walk through the forest" Wolfram and Prince Wolfram appeared out of the forest and onto the road "You better know where we're going"
"I have no clue"
"Wolfram!" Conrad W. called at his little brother and the two Wolfram's looked at him.
"Conrad, Murata, what are you doing here?" Wolfram asked.
"We came here after you" Prince Yuuri said.
"No one asked you" Wolfram muttered.
"Lord von Bielefeld, who's your friend" Murata asked.
"This is the brat's fiancé, Prince Wolfram" Wolfram said and Prince Wolfram bowed.
"Why must my fiancé look like you?" Prince Yuuri said with a sigh.
"Like my fiancé doesn't look like you" Wolfram said, rolling his eyes.
"My, my, you all have the same goal but yet you're fighting among yourselves"
"Saralegui, what do you want now?" Wolfram growled at the man.
"Are you still mad about the incident where I kidnapped your fiancé or you? Then again, it was your fault that you were so easily caught off guard" Saralegui taunted and Wolfram gripped his sword tightly.
"Wolfram" Conrad W. warned, in case his little brother decided to make the same mistake again.
"I know" Wolfram said as he gritted his teeth in anger.
"Well, well, I see that you meet Prince Wolfram" Saralegui said.
"What do you want Saralegui?" Conrad asked.
"Nothing, I already have almost everything" Saralegui said.
"Almost?" Prince Yuuri questioned.
"Yes, almost. The plans I have for Yuuri is almost complete and they will be prefect. Then I will capture Prince Yuuri and torture him to death" Saralegui said.
"He's a cruel and sick person" Murata commented.
"Thank you. Zeron, come out and play with our friends" Saralegui said and a man in his early twenty with dirty blonde hair and pale grey eyes came out from the forest "I don't care what you do but make sure they don't leave"
"Yes Saralegui" Zeron said and Saralegui disappear into a portal.
"Who shall be my first opponent?" Zeron asked. Wolfram was going to stepped up when Conrad W. stopped him by placing a hand on his shoulder.
"Wolfram, you have to save his Majesty" Conrad W. said.
"But" Wolfram started off but was cut off by Murata.
"Only you can save Shibuya" Murata said "Besides, Lord Weller can handle him"
"Fine" Wolfram said.
"I'll ride with Prince Yuuri and you can ride with Prince Wolfram" Conrad said.
"We'll catch up when Lord Weller is done with him" Murata said.
"You come or not?" Prince Yuuri said and Wolfram mounted the horse with Prince following behind.
"You're not going anywhere" Zeron said as he unsheathed his sword.
"I'm your opponent" Conrad W. said as the others ride past them.
"I'll finish you and go after them" Zeron said.
"Not if you are finish you first" Conrad said and lunged at him.
~Sleeping Yuuri~
"Will he be okay?" Prince Wolfram asked.
"He'll be fine, he's the best swordsman in my world" Wolfram answered.
"I should practice with him if I have time" Prince Wolfram said.
"Conrad, why did you stop?" Prince Yuuri asked and Wolfram stopped as well.
"Mike, what are you doing?" Conrad asked.
"Mike?" Prince Wolfram, Prince Yuuri and Wolfram questioned.
"I see you remember me, Conrad" Mike said.
"How can I not? I was getting suspicious of your behaviour" Conrad said.
"I work for Saralegui and he told me to keep a watch on the inside" Mike said "And now, my orders are to eliminate you"
"Wolfram, please go on ahead and save Yuuri" Conrad said and Wolfram stared at him shocked "Don't worry, we'll be fine"
"Go save your fiancé, you brat" Prince Yuuri said and got a glare from Wolfram. Wolfram rode off with Prince Wolfram without a second look.
"Are you going to take care of him or should I?" Prince Yuuri asked.
"I would prefer it if it were me but if you want to" Conrad said.
"Whatever's best" Prince Yuuri said.
"Of course" Conrad said.
"So who's my opponent?" Mike asked "The prince?"
"No" Conrad said and stepped up "It's me"
~Sleeping Yuuri~
"We keep going ahead and the castle is there?" Wolfram asked.
"Basically" Prince Wolfram answered "How do you think the others are doing?"
"Murata and Conrad are going to be fine, but I'm not so sure about Conrad and the brat" Wolfram said "I feel bad that you're engaged to him"
"I'm pretty sure Prince Yuuri would say the same to Yuuri" Prince Wolfram said.
"How do you and Yuuri meet and what happened between you two?" Wolfram asked.
"I was riding through the forest like usual when I spotted Yuuri. He fainted and I wanted to make sure he was fine. When he woke up, he was startled to see me. We didn't talk much because my mother sent someone after me again" Prince Wolfram said.
"Your mother sent someone after you?" Wolfram questioned.
"Yeah, I tend to escape from my room. It's so boring" Prince Wolfram said.
"Why are you trapped in your room?" Wolfram asked.
"I escape and left the kingdom for two years to study swordsmanship" Prince Wolfram said.
"Why?" Wolfram asked.
"My mother thinks it's dangerous and I'll hurt myself" Prince Wolfram said "I even told her I can defend myself. But the answer still remains no"
"And so you ran away and came back in 2 years" Wolfram said.
"She decided that I need to remain in the castle and she wouldn't let me step out of my room" Prince Wolfram said "Even though they tried to lock me in my room, I manage to escape. Half the time they don't even know I left"
"Wow, now continue telling me about what happened between you and Yuuri" Wolfram said.
"Right, I kind of fell in love with Yuuri because he was the first to see me as a person rather than a prince" Prince Wolfram said "I saw him again and he was looking at a field of flowers. I walked towards him but he was too deep in thought. He must have thought about something sad because he was crying. I wiped it away and he fell back in shock. We had a short conversation because I had to get back before they find out I left. I uh… kind of kissing him before I left"
"I see, so that's when you kissed him" Wolfram said as his grip on the reigns tightened causing his knuckles to turn white.
"The castle coming into view" Prince Wolfram said, trying to lighten the mood.
"I can see that, I'm not blind" Wolfram said and Prince Wolfram kept quiet. They reached the castle and dismount the horse.
"You seem tense. Is something wrong?" Prince Wolfram asked and then there was the clang of swords. Wolfram was defending a man from attacking Prince Wolfram.
"You're a fast one" the man said.
"You're not so bad yourself" Wolfram said.
"Who are you and what just happened?" Prince Wolfram asked.
"I'm Rajord"
"And he just tried to kill you" Wolfram hissed.
"You two look alike and I have no clue who my target so I'll be killing you both" Rajord said and lunged an attack at Prince Wolfram but he defends in time.
"Go on, I'll take care of things here" Prince Wolfram said.
"But you-"
"Don't worry, I'll be fine" Prince Wolfram said as he defended another attack.
"Good luck" Wolfram shouted and ran into the castle.
"You too" Prince Wolfram whispered "Save to one you love"
~Sleeping Yuuri~
Wolfram ran into the castle and it was incredibly old. The walls were cracked and broken and there were cobwebs everywhere. He saw a maid or someone similar to one walk by and he approached her.
"Do you know where to tallest tower is?" Wolfram asked.
"You're not allowed in here" the lady said "Leave at once"
"I was… hired today by Saralegui to… watch over the prisoner in the tallest tower" Wolfram said.
"Oh, I see. Walk straight from here until you see stairs, go up and turn left, walk down the hall until the end and there will be stairs case to the room" the lady said.
"Thanks" Wolfram said and ran off.
"Fool" the lady slowly change to Saralegui "I hope you like your surprise"
~Sleeping Yuuri~
Wolfram ran as fast as possible up the stairs and down the hall. He finally reached the end of the hall and found the door the lady was talking about. He reached for the door knob when he heard a door creak behind him.
"Wolfram, is that you?" a voice said. Wolfram tensed when he heard the voice.
'It can't be' He slowly turned around to confirm his guess and froze when he saw him. One word left his lips "Yuuri"
Another cliff-hanger! The middle might be a little fast-paced but I couldn't really think of anything to fill in the gaps… I really enjoy the progress of the story! Few more chapters to go! Who knows how many that is! Well, please read & review!
