Chapter 19
Shin Makoku (Yuuri's POV)
*yawn!*
I opened my eyes and squinted it because of the sunlight. I sat up and stretched. I was about to get out of the bed when Conrad opened the door holding a tray of breakfast.
"Good morning, Your Majesty." he entered the room.
"How many times should I have..." but I was cut off.
" to tell me to call you 'Yuuri'... I named you after all. Yeah, yeah. Sorry. But anyway, Gisela told us that you had a problem sleeping last night so we let you sleep in a bit." he put the tray down on the side table.
"oh! Yeah.. well, just a little bit." he maneuvered the side table o I can reach it from the bed.
"Yuuri, you better eat all these or I'm gonna call Greta to scold you again." he said to me smiling. That wasn't the most encouraging statement but I didn't hesitate and start digging in. Man, Wolfram may not be here but some part of Wolfram still is here.
"You know, Conrad, it's kinda scary to know how Greta grew more and more similar to Wolfram. I mean, one Wolfram is enough! Did you hear what she just called me last night? She called me a wimp! Conrad, my daughter called me a 'wimp'!"
"Well, someone needs to remind you to take care of yourself. And you know Wolfram is the only person who is so straight forward and blunt about things around here... so maybe that he's not here, Greta decided that she will substitute for a while." he laughed a little.
"That's not funny, Conrad!"

Hexzalia (Wolfram's POV)
The king's eyes are wide. None of us had the courage to ask what was wrong. We just stare at him, waiting for him to tell us. After a little while, maybe he's finally done reading the letter, he closed his eyes and gave a long sigh.
"Umh... Father... What does it say?" Adan asked hesitantly.
The king passed the letter to for him to Lord Jonathan read it aloud for everyone to hear.
*clears throat*
"To the King and Queen of the country of Hexzalia,
I, Lord Gunter von Christ, the advisor of the 28th Maou of Shin Makoku, inform you in this letter that our maou, King Yuuri Shibuya, with the Ten Noble famiies of Shin Makoku and other important personalities are to pay a visit to your country. As you know, recently, the third son of the 26th maou, fiancee of the 27th maou, and graced 28th maou of our country, Prince Wolfram von Bielefeld was kidnapped. From the investigations we conducted, we found out that one of your sons were responsible for this crime. Please don't try to deny it. We have witnesses. Our Princess Greta Shibya and some people of Shin Makoku saw his face, and one was able to draw his face. We confirmed the culprit to be your son from Lord Densham von Karbelnikoff and Lord Waltorana von Bielefeld who both already visited your country and saw the face of your sons. We would like to have a talk about the matter at hand rather than 'war'. We really are trying to avoid a war between countries but we will start one if we have to. We sent this letter not to ask for your permission but just to inform you. We would still come whether you accept or not. We are to arrive there the day after tomorrow."
Jonathan then put the letter back to how it was rolled and said. "That's all."
Damian and Adan looked at each other with panicky eyes. Queen Amanda touched her chest. King Nestor and Lord Jonathan looked problematic.
"May I see the letter?" I asked. Jonathan gave it to me. When I opened it, I inspected if the penmanship is indeed Gunter... it is. The paper used is a paper in Shin Makoku used for very important letters or documents. There is also the Shin Makoku royal seal... It's the real thing!
"Jonathan, tell the maids to prepare at least twenty rooms for the personalities coming from Shin Makoku. I want the room to be at its best and I also want the whole castle to look more proper. I want it cleaner than usual and I want you to tell all the people in this castle to be at their best behavior when the guests arrive. See to it." said the king.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Jonathan bowed.
"You're all dismissed." said the king. "Amanda, bring me to our bed. I want to rest."
"Yes dear." said the queen and did what she was requested to.
Damian, Adan, Jonathan and I left the room.
"I'll go to my room." I said.
"You're not coming to breakfast?" asked Damian.
"Can you please tell someone to just bring it in my room?"
"Sure." Adan answered. "Well, we'll be going now."
"Yeah." then I headed for my room.

Shin Makoku (Yuur's POV)
"You know Yuuri... I think, by this time, Hexzalia has already recieved the letter sent by Gunter." said Conrad.
"Really? What did Gunter write in that letter anyway. I hope it's not that dramatic or too flowery worded."
"Actually, it's really umh...formal." said Conrad and he took the tray. I'm done eating anyway.
"What do you mean by formal?" I asked out of curiosity.
"Well, Gwendal and I were with Gunter when he made the letter. He really used formal words but, think he put some emotions on the letter." Conrad said a little hesitant.
"Huh?"
"Your Majesty, why don't you just ask Gunter." said Conrad and left me.
What's his problem? I was just asking what is in the letter.
I then prepared myself and went to find Gunter. I found him in the library arranging books.
"Gunter!" I greeted.
"Oh! Good morning, Heika!" he greeted enthusiastically.
"So, I was wondering... what did you write in the letter you sent to Hexzalia?" Gunter then froze from his position like a deer caught on headlights. Now I'm getting suspicious. "Gunter." I said with more authority.
Gunter's eyes started to water and then..."Heikaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"
"E-eh?"
"Please forgive your servant Gunter for what I wrote in the letter! I couldn't hold my emotions! Forgive me, Heika!" and blah blah blah, I couldn't understand anymore what he was saying.
"Okay, okay... umh, Gunter... could you please tell me what exactly did you write in the letter?"
"W-well..."

Hexzalia (Wolfram's POV)
It's already noon. A while ago, Damian andAdan convinced me to eat lunch in the dining room with them. I'm currenty helping in the preparations of the rooms to be used by Yuuri, my family and the others. They said that I maybe useful in telling them how the rooms should be. If it needs to simple or extravagant... if the person who the room for will like the color and, the decorations and furniture. In short, they used me as a source of information of what my fellows in Shin Makoku, who will come, will like or what is their taste.
I'm currently instructing them how to decorate the supposed to be my Uncle Waltorana's room.
"Add a little more blue in this room and get rid of all the orange or red. But remove that water serpent painting... my uncle doesn't like those things. He's more into fire related paintings like fire nymph or phoenix... the no orange or red does not apply on the paintings.
Make the room warmer than the other rooms here. We Bielefelds are fire weilders and we get cold easily. Our standard of heat or warmth is a few degrees higher than normal people.
Don't make the room to crowded as well."
"Lord Wolfram!"
"Yes?"
"Is Prince Damian here? Or Prince Adan?" the soldier is a little too panicky in my opinion.
"Why? What happened?" I asked.
"The king is in pain right now and it's hard for him to breath." with that said, I ran towards the Royal chamber.
When I reached the room, someone called me from behind. It was the two sons of the king. We entered the room and saw that their doctor is attending to the king. After a little more, it seems that the doctor can't make anything better at the moment. The king is still in his state before we came in.
I moved closer and inspected the king with my eyes.
"If only I could use my maryoku here, I can use my healing maryoku to help him." I was only thinking about it... I really didn't notice that I said it out loud.
"You can help him if you were able to use your power?" Adan asked and startled me a bit.
"Oh! umh... yes. But sad to say, this is a human territory and I can't use my maryoku here."
"There's a way!" Damian exclaimed and almost flied out of the room. When he came back, he handed me a silver ring with a diamond-like stone on it. I inspected it then finally recognized it. It is a Shin Makoku treasure. A "LOST"(or more like 'stolen')Shin Makoku Treasure.
It's called the 'Ring der Aktivierung' or 'Ring of Activation'. It was developed by a previous maou 'Queen Helga von Bielefeld' and was once in our possession. It was developed in the time when humans and mazokus were still in dispute. When you put the ring on you, you can use your maryoku in human lands and you can recover your maryoku in human lands as well... just as if you are in Shin Makoku and not in a foreign land. But due to the ability it has, the humans feared it and stole it. It can't found for hundreds of years no matter how hard the mazokus try to.
And now it right here, on my hand. And these humans are practically telling me to use it. I looked at eveyone's eyes and they all looked at me as if begging me to use it.
"If I use it to heal him. You will return this treasure to us Mazokus." I said. They froze for a while then...
"Yes! Fine! Whatever you want. Anything! Please... use it. Heal our father." Adan was desperate.
I turned around to face the king. I put the ring on my left hand's ring finger and it the stone glowed for a while. I think it activated. I took one of the kings hands into mine and knelt so that my forehead can touch the king's hand.
I closed my hands and summoned my healing maryoku. I summoned it with confidence even though I'm in the human lands. It's because I trust that this ring will help me. It must... it should... and because it should, it would. I opened my eyes to see that my hands are radiating a green glow. It worked, it really worked! Now I closed my eyes again and poured more healing maryoku to the king.
After a little while, I stopped and took a step back. Then the queen and his sons reached the king's side.
"Father! How do you feel now?" Adan asked.
"I-I'm fine now." he said an looked at me. "It's fascinating how you mazokus can heal by just touching a person. I wish we humans could also do it." He smiled at me. I smiled back.
"Wolfram!" Damian shouted and hugged me. "Thank you for healing my father. I couldn't bear to see him in so much pain." he is still hugging me. I cleared my throat once and he realized what I meant by it. He quickly let go with a bright blush.
Well, I, myself can feel my cheeks filling up with color.
"Oi! That's unfair Damian! You scored first?! I want a hug too!" Adan exclaimed.
"Eh! W-wait..I-" too late. He already hugged me. I'm sure I'm as red as a tomato.
"Adan." Queen Amanda warned once and Adan retracted his arms. "Anyway, Wolfram, thank you. You can really keep the ring." She said smiling at me.
"I-it's nothing. Umh... I better go back to the preparations." I said and went out of the room.
But it's not really my duty in the preparations that made me get out of that room. It's that I'm scared of the feeling I felt the time Damian hugged me. It's as if the same feeling I get when Yuuri's around me.
