Chapter 18

Hexzalia (Wolfram's POV)

After the talk I had with the King and Queen, I went straight to my room and just collapsed on the bed. I lost track of time. When Cath went into inform me that dinner is about to start, I told her to just bring me something to eat. It's too late for me to fix myself for dinner so I'll just eat here. And I really don't feel like going out of my room tonight.

Cath ate with me in my room again. This time, it's her who asked if she can. The reason... she just wants me to tell her what happened in the talk I had with the king and queen.

"So... that's it. That's all that occurred." I said and took a sip from my glass of water.

"Oh... Well, I can't say it went great but at least it's not that bad." she commented.

"I know right! Gods! If you only knew how nervous I am back there! And I don't even know why! I mean I've faced death countless of times and heck I didn't even care!" she laughed at that statement. "What's so funny?"

"Everything! hahaha! I can't believe you fear them more than you fear death!" then she continued laughing.

"Well, can you really blame me?" she stopped laughing when I changed tone. "I'm a soldier in my country and I practically already gave my life to death the day I chose to be one."

"Hey! Why the sudden change of tone! You're too serious! Loosen up a bit. Here, try this stew. It's my favorite." she pushed a bowl of stew towards me.

I tried it and man it tastes good!

"Hey, this reminds me... I want you to teach me cook different food from this place."

"Huh? Why?" She was about to take a spoon full of broth but stopped midway.

"Why? Do I really need a reason? Can't it be just because I want to?"

"Well, it's just that you're a prince... You're status is much higher in so many levels from a cook!"

From what she said, I put my utensils down and looked intently at her. "Cath, status is no issue here. Just because I'm a prince, a lord or whatever you may call it... doesn't mean I can't cook. My mother was the 26th maou of my country, her hobby is gardening, and she's not a gardener."

"Okay, I get your point!" she raised both her hands in surrender. "That reminds me, you haven't really tell me much about yourself or your country. Care to share... even just a few."

"Hmmm... I hope you're used to sleeping little late, Cath. What I'm about to tell you, hah, you can write a novel from it."

"Well, you have my ears, Wolf."

"Well, let's start at the time I..."

Shin Makoku (Yuuri's POV)

"...esty...Your Majesty! YOUR MAJESTY!"

"H-h-huh? What? Is something wrong, Conrad? Were you saying something?"

"Umh... Your Majesty, it's just that many of us are almost finished in eating while you haven't touched yours. Is something wrong?" I noticed that Conrad is indeed almost finished in his dinner.

"It's Yuuri! You named me after all!"

"Sorry. Yuuri. Is something wrong? Do you feel unwell?" Now I noticed that everyone is looking at me worriedly.

"Well, it's just that... I noticed that all the food served tonight from appetizer to dessert are Wolfram's favorites." Now everyone is looking at me, understanding what I meant. "I guess I spaced out and thought of him and just l didn't notice how long I've been thinking of him." I looked down. "It's so sad and quiet without him. It's like Wolfram occupies the majority of the castle in my point of view and when he was kidnapped, a big part of the castle was taken."

A hand landed on my shoulder. "We understand." I looked up and Conrad said. I looked at Waltorana, Gwendal and Lady Celie. They gave me a small understanding smile. Then someone tugged my sleeves and I looked at the person. It was Greta. "Papa, eat your food!" she told me.

"Well, I still may be able to eat a little." I said.

"No!" she then shouted at me.

"What?"

"If Papa Wolfram were here, he would tell you to eat all your food so you can stay strong and healthy. Papa Wolfram would want you to take care of your self. Do you really think Papa will be happy seeing you thinner than usual when he gets back? No! He wont! So eat your food and don't be a wimp!"

Man, am I shocked... My daughter just scolded me! In a Wolframmy manner at that! And it looks like I'm not the only one who's shocked. I looked around the table and their faces already told me everything.

"Umh... yeah... Yeah! I'm gonna eat all of my dinner! haha.. Yum!" Then I took a slice of steak and stuffed it in my mouth.

Hexzalia (Wolfram's POV)

Umh... right now, it's past midnight and people are supposed to be sleeping... but, I'm here in my room trying to calm down a crying, hysterically, Catherine.

"That was *sob* so s-sad *sob*... I *sniff* didn't know. I-I *sob*..."

"I-its okay. Really... I mean I'm the one who wanted to tell you this... It's okay really. Cath, please stop crying. I'm really to start to feel guilty."

"But it's me who's supposed to be guilty!"

"Like I said, It's okay. Please stop crying. And besides... I think it's past midnight. we really need to go to sleep.

Well, after a little more comforting... I finally calmed her down and convinced her that it was really okay. And when she left my room, I let myself fall to bed and in a few seconds... I'm off to dream land. And I dreamt of a man with a black hair and with a goofy smile that makes my heart race. His eyes looking at mine intently as if he's staring at my naked soul. I slept smiling.

It was a pleasant dream... but as the dream go on, it's not as good as it was in the beginning. He kept shoving me aside and keeps on trying to get away from me. I keep on reaching out to him but he seems to be farther and farther away. I kept calling his name but he never looked at me. That's when I stopped calling him...

I stopped trying to reach him... trying to chase him... trying to get him notice me. I just stood there, and stared at his retreating back, that I finally now understand that I can never reach him, I can never get him to notice me... because he doesn't want to.

Shin Makoku (Yuuri's POV)

I can't sleep. I thought it was just because I wasn't comfortable in my position... but then, when I tried different positions. It didn't work! I kept tossing and turning. *sigh*I don't really know why... Then I decided that I will go pay Gisela a visit.

...

*knock* knock*

Then the door to her room opened. Her room is really not that far from the infirmary. It's for in emergency cases.

"Your Majesty?! What brings you here?"

"Gisela... I can't sleep. Do you have there a sleeping pill or something?"

"Ohh... just wait, your Majesty... Oh! You can come in the infirmary with me."

"Sure, thanks."

Hexzalia (Wolfram's POV)

I woke up at the sound of someone banging on my door. I was about to get up when the door was thrown open harshly.

"What is it?" I asked rubbing one of my eyes. I looked up seeing Damian panting. "Why? What happened."

"Someone informed me that my parents received a letter from Shin Makoku...It was written by the kings Advisor... Lord Christ something. They summoned us to their room. And I mean right now!"

I suddenly became wide awake and moved with a speed I never knew I had and fixed myself. Damian and I ran towards his parents' room. When we got there, Adan was already there sitting with his parents at the balcony.

"Ah! Finally, you're here... come is with us."

When we were already seated, I asked. "Is it true... they sent a letter?"

The king pulled and cage from under the table. There sat a messenger pigeon with a rolled paper dangling from it's collar. The king pulled it. He opened it and his eyes went wide.
