Chapter 12
Yuuri's POV
"I am not sure, your majesty... but I believe the man that I and my friends saw at the deck ,when the party is almost over, is the one you are looking for." a gray-haired lady said. We are currently in the throne room and conducting an investigation about the suspicious man they saw.
"It is true, my lord. I am with her when our friend Mylene pointed at the man and said that she thinks that the man is not a mazoku. When we saw the man, we agreed. His clothing is in different design. It is in color of violet with gold embroideries... almost like he's a royalty form another country. The description of the princess of your fiancee's kidnapper fits what the man looks like that night."
"I am Mylene, sire. It is true. And our suspicion raised when the man did not join the party and just went to get food. After that, he just went inside again. He also took too many food in our opinion. when we asked the other people on the deck, no one recognizes the man."
"Thank you. You've been great help, ladies." I said. Gunter and Gwendal are on my sides, and they are taking notes one what these people say.
"Your majesty." I then turned to the source of this call. I saw that he is handing to me a piece of paper. I stood up and took it. But before I look at it he spoke.
"Your majesty, that is how the suspicious man in the boat looks like. I can draw people in a short time and I can draw them by just one look." said the man. So he has a photographic memory. "I am one of the people on the deck and I drew all the people there. I always do this stuff so that I won't get bored. but it turns out that it's more useful than I thought." I looked at the drawing and I turned to Gunter.
"Gunter, call Greta. Tell her to come here immediately. Now!"
"Yes, Your Majesty." he bowed and left the throne room.
A few minutes later, Greta burst the double doors open.
"Greta! I need you to look at something." I said as she makes her way towards me. When she's infront of me, I handed her the paper. She looked at it and her eyes went wide. She looked up and mouthed 'it's him.'
I quickly pullt he paper form her and looked at the drawing. Imprinting every detail in to my mind. I will search for this man and I will get Wolfram back.
"Now that we've confirmed that the suspicious man on the ship is Wolfram's kidnapper, the only thing we need now is the direction the man went when he parted with the ship, taking Wolfram with him."
I then turned to the next person.
"By your uniform you're in charge on cleaning the deck?" I asked this boy that I think is around Wolfram's age or younger.
"Yes, your majesty. I am assigned on midnight that time."
"So, did you see them, Wolfram and the kidnapper? Or at least one of them?"
"I saw both, your majesty. When the party is finally over and I'm cleaning, I heard one of the emergency boats being prepared. I thought that there has been a problem and the emergency crew is preparing for something. I got curious on what the problem is and decided to ask. But when I got there, I was the suspicious man who I saw. He is already lowering the emergency boat when I saw. I also saw a blond with him that I didn't know that was your fiance... I was scared to get help because I saw that he has a dagger... I so sorry your majesty.. I-I.."
"It's not gonna change anything now. What I need is to know what direction he went... can you tell me?"
"By the current direction on midnight time...by the position of the stars... by the speed of the ship... and by the direction of the boat... It can be going to Svelera, Conanshia,Zoraisha, or Hexzalia, Your Majesty." said the man.
"Thank you." I said to the him and then looked up to the rest of the people who helped in the investigation. "All of you."
...
Hexzalia (Wolfram's POV)
I'm done preparing myself for dinner. I looked at the mirror the last time and went out of the room. I knocked at Catherine's door.
"Oh, my lord... what can I do for you?" she asked when she opened the door.
"Umh... you see, I still don't know the way around here so I was thinking if you can lead me to the dining area?" I said with a small smile at my face.
"Of course, my lord. Please follow me." she said with a smile as well. "I must say that you look magnificent, my lord." she said as we walk side by side.
"T-thank you." I stuttered a bit. Well, I was shocked of course. It came out of nowhere. "You are pretty cute as well, my lord. No, wait... that's not the right term...beautiful? no...umh... Aha!" I whipped my head towards her direction in surprise. "I got it! Ethereal! You look ethereal!" she said as she clapped her hands together once.
"Why... I'm all aflattered." I like her attitude. Maybe I might actually consider her as a friend... I ponder on the idea for a while and I actually think it's good. "Hey, when we're alone, call me Wolfram."
She looked at me dumbfounded. "Could you please repeat that?"
I laughed lightly at her and repeated what I said.
"I... of course, Wolfram." then she smiled. A very big and warm smile.
On the way, whenever we will pass a painting or an ornament or vase or room or so whatever... as long as she knows about it, she will tell me. Like the painting in their main hall that has a mermaid, she said that it was bought from the Karbelnikoff lands of Shin Makoku and it was the favorite painting of their queen.
"Here we are, my lord." She used formaility again. Well, it can't be helped. There are guards by the double doors that maybe are tasked to open it whenever there is someone to enter.
"Thank you, Catherine." I said and entered the dining area.

Shin Makoku, Yuuri's office (Yuuri's POV)
"What were the countries again?" I asked Gunter.
"Svelera...Conanshia,Zoraisha, and Hexzalia, Your Majesty. Although, I must say that Hildyard could also be a choice since it's very close to Hexzalia." he replied.
"Hexzalia? I must say that I don't remember this country being mentioned before... or I just didn't hear in the lessons... ah! No offense, Gunter!" I quickly apoligized.
"No harm done, Your majesty. In truth... I haven't discuss about this country to you before. And we also haven't form alliance with them so i doubt that you will know of this country." he informed me.
"Oh..." I got scared there for a moment. I thought Gunter will have his drama again and flood my office with his tears.
"Your majesty, this country is a neutral country ever since. It is not our ally and it is also not an enemy. It sometimes do business with our country like trades, especially to Karbelnikoff and Bielefeld."
"Well, I think that they're the culprit." i said flatly. All the people in the room stared at me jaw-dropped and wide-eyed.
"Your majesty, it is not wise to jump into conclusions just like that." said Gwendal... another wrinkle appearing magically.
"My brother is right. It also might cause a conflict between our countries just this one blame that isn't proven yet. It can be any of the other countries." said Conrad.
"No, they're the culprit. I'm sure of it." I stand my ground.
"Your majesty, may we ask why you say so?" asked Gunter.
"I have met all of the kings, queens, prince and princess of different countries. Heck! I even met the king of Big and Small Shimaron! I know what their faces look like and I also had a good look of the faces of their cabinet members and other officials. None of them looked like the man in the drawing! And since, you said so yourself that I never had contact with this country, I also never saw the faces of their leaders." I said. "I've been in every country in this world for alliance and trading talk. Except this country. All the countries that we've been into, we have spies in there assigned to report us if there are changes in their country. How come we won't know if they change their leaders or something?" I said to them... I mean, I have a point.
"His Majesty have a point." said Conrad.
"We also never assign spies in neutral countries. It could be posible." Gwendal said with one hand on his chin.
"Why don't we assign spies in such countries?" I asked.
"Neutral countries are not our ally and not our enemy. We would like to keep it that way rather than make them our enemy for posting spies in their country that could make them think that we are threat to them." Gwendal replied. There's a point.
"So what do you plan to do with this country now? we can't just let it be since it's a neutral country..." I said.
"Who says we're gonna let it be?" said Gwendal, Conrad and Gunter. I like what they're thinking.

Hexzalia... (Wolfram's POV)
The doors opened, revealing Wolfram as beautiful as ever. The lords and ladies of the castle looked at him, confused. Suddenly, Prince Adan stood up.
"Everyone, I would like to introduce to you, Prince Wolfram von Bielefeld. He will be our guest here for quite some time. Treat him with your best behavior and longest patience." he said. Everyone acknowledge the prince and I acknowledge them back as Adan introduce them one by one.
I then looked at Damian who is seated beside his brother and we greeted each other.
"Wolfram, please sit here." Damian pulled out the chair beside him and beckoned me to sit down.
"Thank you." Wolfram said. He is not used being treated like this.
"I must say, Prince Wolfram. You look beautiful. You're even more beautiful than me!" a lady which I recalled being named as Lady Dominique. "Don't you know that I am named as the most beautiful woman in this country for four years straight?! And now, I pale in comparison to you! And you're not even a girl! I'm jealous!" she said and I panicked a little.
"Lady Dominique, please don't be. You are a very beautiful lady. You said so yourself that you are the most beautiful lady in this country, you should be more confident of your appearance." I said, trying to calm her.
"So, my lord... where are you from?" a lord, if i'm not mistaken... he is Lord Nicolai, said to me as he start to serve himself.
"Oh? I must say, I'm quite shocked. You don't know yet." I said and start serving myself with the delicious food on the table.
"Excuse me? I don't understand." he said.
"Damian... I thought you said that the WHOLE WORLD knows." I said as i look at him... he just smirk as well as his brother as the other people around the table have their eyes wide in shock and recognition.
"*gasp* You are the kidnapped Prince of Shin Makoku! Prince Damian! Prince Adam! What is the meaning of this?! This is an outrage! This could cause war between our country and his!" said another lord named Jonathan. "Your father and mother will not be please of what you have done!"
"Speaking of... where is the king and queen?" I asked.
"Father is sick since last month and mother refuse to leave him alone. Their food is being brought to their room." Prince adan stated calmly.
"This must be reported to the king." Lord Jonathan said.
"Don't you dare! This can cause my father further stress and make him worse!" Adan said angrily.
"I am the king's advisor and I will perform my duty. Not even you can stop me. You are not the king yet." he said and left. Adan cursed softly but I heard.
"Oh... so you took me in without the permission of the king and queen? Prince Adan...Damian..." I said.
"No." They said in unison.
"I will request that I speak with the both of you privately later. You have a lot of explaining to do." I said with a calm face but my voice reveals my true emotion.
