Chapter 4

Wolfram's Kidnapper's POV

"Oh! Prince Damian!" a man suddenly called my name from afar. I'm currently walking along the down town of my country, at the area with the shops, stores, or market. Well, I haven't bought anything because I just came here.

"Yes?" I asked the man as he rush towards me. He is wearing a soldier uniform...

"Your brother, Prince Adan, is asking for your presence, your highness. We've been looking for you since dawn." explained the soldier.

"Oh... Is that so... Okay. I'll see him. Thank you for informing me." I said. I walked my way towards the castle. It's really not that far from down town. As I walk towards my destination, I can hear some voices (of girls wanting to catch my attention) calling my name, some are waving. But I paid no attention to them.

I reached the castle and asked the nearest guard where could I find my brother. He said that my brother is at the library. Odd... my brother never liked that place. I went to the library and opened the huge double doors. Well, he really is here! Sitting at the far east of the library, near the corner, beside a window. He is reading something... Something that does not belong to the library... Something with a different writing (alphabet) on its cover... The alphabet of the Demon Kingdom.

I know that we (the two of us) were taught by our advisor to read and write the alphabet of Shin Makoku... but my brother never liked it, actually both of us. Actually he never read a book, well, not unless it is really needed and not for past time. So, seeing him reading a book surprised me, double the surprise that the book is written in Demon language, and triple the surprise because the said book is thick.

"Oh, you're here..." he said when he finally noticed my presence.

"I was informed that you're looking for me." I said as I seat myself across him.

"You already have him, don't you." he said. not looking at me but at the book. I was silent... then he looked up and straight to my eyes. "I know. Everyone knows that the Third Prince of Shin Makoku has been kidnapped. The whole world knows."

"What do you want to do with him." I said and narrowed my eyes.

"I want to take him away from all his pain. Someone as ethereal and beautiful as him does not deserve to be hurt. I want to give him joy and happiness." he said looking at me.

"You think you're making him happy? Taking him away from his family? his friends? from his HOME? I really think you're causing him more pain." I said.

"No. As I said, I'm taking him away from all his pain." and then he flipped the book to another page.

"What?! What do you mean by that?" I said. I don't understand him right now.

"His home, his family, his friends... they cause him pain. Every single one of them. Every single one in his home. His mother, brothers, the court, fiance, people... everyone." he said so surely, so... sadly. But, if what he said is true... how did he know?

"How did you know?"I refuse to believe. Because I believe that kidnapping him will cause him more bad than good. That my brother is just exaggerating things.

"Then I'll start to tel you one-by-one. how about we start from his FAMILY... His mother. The 26th Queen of Shin Makoku. The one they call 'Sexy Queen'... You think that she's the sweet caring mother? Well, let me tell you this. She, the 26th Maou, never really give time for her youngest... well, i think for all her sons." what is he talking about, I was about to interrupt but he said. "Don't interrupt me and let me finish."

"She's always with his brother, Lord von Spitzweg, discussing what to do with the country, doing her Maou duties... I know that it's important, but she also need to attend to her motherly duties... And the more reason I don't think she gives time for her sons is that she always go on balls and parties. Well, sometimes she brings her sons with her but when she already start to mingle with the other guests, she start to forget them. She just talks and flirts. She always tries to find free-love out there when she already have the love she needs. She just doesn't see it. And when she retired from her position, instead of spending time with her sons, she started to travel the world with her cruise ship to find what? To find FREE LOVE. Up until now, Wolfram still seeks her mother's attention... not like the attention the she gives now, but deeper and more special. Like a mother and son bonding. No flirting, no parties, just spending time with each other for no reason...no, for one reason, because she wants to... because she loves him. but, up until now his mother still searches love. That's the reason why Wolfram starts to distance himself from his mother, why he doesn't force himself to his mother. So he won't feel ignored when his mother doesn't pay attention to him. But he can't deny that inside his heat, he still yearns for a mother's love that wasn't given to him... like a need his heart aches for. Up until now, he is hoping." I was... how do you say this... umh...speechless.

"And how about his Aniue? He's no better. Yes, when Wolfram was young, he pays attention to him, he gives attention, knits him stuffed whatsoever... but when he got a little older, start to have few duties, he starts to neglect his brotherly duties to Wofram. He is always with soldiers, in the court, in his office, always with his duties. Whenever Wolfram will ask him to play with him, read him a book or if he could just stay with him and watch him work... he will say NO and that Wolfram is just bothering him. So much for liking cut things when his own brother is the cutest being created in history, And when Wolfram started his duties in the military... he always tell him he lacks that, that he suck on this... all of Wolfram's flaws... Never did he acknowledge the things Wolfram do right. He never see that, just the imperfections and faults. and Wolfram always tries to do his best, to please his brother, to prove him wrong, and every time he did, there will be another that he will have to prove. He is nothing but a failure to his brother. And up until now, he is proving himself worthy of his brother's praise. Because he want his brother to be proud of him. Because he loves his brother so much that he idolizes him and wants to be like him." I'm still digesting everything he said.

"Oh! And how about that Weller. He has the time to fawn over that stupid Maoh... but no time for his brother!" he said.

"But it is Wolfram who's been distancing himself from Weller. And it is because he is a human. That is what the Bielefelds taught him, to hate humans. It's not Weller's fault." I said... It's true isn't it?...

"You're wrong..." I was shocked when he said that. But I can see in his eyes that he is serious.

"When Wolfram was a child, his mother and brother have no time for him... But his little big brother has. Always spending time with his cute little baby brother. Wolfram had always thought he knows everything about his little big brother. They were the best of friends... But that brother of his has a secret. Wolfram always thought that Weller is a demon. Well, he really is... a half... But he never told Wolfram that he's also a human...a half-human. Wolfram could have understood... but the thing that went wrong is that it's not Weller who told him he's a human. He knew of it from others. He was hurt, because his brother kept who he really was from him. And then, something came in his little mind, since Weller is a half human, he will die faster that ordinary demons. And his pain became worse after thinking of this. That's why he said to himself that he will hate Weller, because it's less painful if Weller die early when he hates him... He distanced himself from Weller. He avoided contact and avoid making memories with him that he will remember. It was hard... because day after day, his longing grew. He felt alone, but he endured it. He endured it, until the day that Weller no longer pays attention to him. And then he realized, that his brother never really cared for him. Because if he really care, he would never stop... but he did. While him on the other hand, his longing never vanished, it just grew and grew... and by it grew, it hurts... knowing that the one he long for gave up on him. All those times, he has the hope in his heart that his brother will once again try to make up with him, but it never came. Not even a single 'sorry' from his brother. You know why I said that? Because that Weller never apologized to Wolfram for keeping the truth from him. Wolfram was hoping even just that he will give. But he never did... And then the Maoh came, and Weller but all shower that stupid Maoh with his attention... hurting Wolfram even more. But still, even until now, he still loves his brother... he still hopes that his brother will pay attention to him even just a little closer to how he pays attention to the Maoh." I don't know what to say. I never thought of it like that. I was speechless and motionless. All of it still processing.

"And up until now, he still has a heart of a child that yearns for his family's love and time. Up until now, deep inside his heart, there is the need that remains unfulfilled, remains painful. And up until now, he still hopes that one day, magically, all of this will come true. Up until now..."

Then my brother add, "That's just the pain from his family... I'll let you digest it for a while. I'll come back here in a couple hours and tell you more." He stood up, taking the book with him and walked out the library. And there I was in the library, still sitting where I am sitting where my brother left me. That kind of pain... from his own family. And, there's more... I stayed in the library.. waiting for my brother... wanting to hear more.
