Chapter 38

"I'm done." I said. Then he turned around. And he was just staring at me.

"So Yuuri… how do I look?" I asked him, giving him a sly smirk after.

"W-well… um… You look good! I've never seen you wear black before and now I can say black suits you." He said. So black does suits me. I should have worn black before! And even Yuuri thinks so too that it suits me… I mean, he never complimented my outfit before… Well, how can he compliment my outfit if I wear the military suits with the same color and design… he may be even sick of looking at it every day!

"Really!? Well, thank you!" I beamed at him, then flashed him the angelic smile I used on Catherine before. I'm trying to get a reaction from him but I didn't. So I stopped pushing my luck on him. I know he won't look at me like that but maybe… just maybe. I mean, he changed a lot and accepted that here in Shin Makoku, people don't mind being with in a romantic relationship with the opposite sex. And I even thought that it won't hurt to try… but I was wrong… because it hurts so much.

So I just changed the topic.

"I'm just going to fix my hair and we'll go to your room so YOU can dress up and fix yourself. And then we can go to the dining hall for breakfast." I said and went to the dresser. After I brushed my hair, I inspected for any flaw just in case I brushed a lock of hair in the wrong direction or something. After I assured that I look really okay, I nodded a little in satisfaction and said "Let's go now." Then we started heading to Yuuri's room.

When we were in Yuuri's room, he quickly changed into his usual black uniform.

"How about this robe? Should we take it to your room first?" he asked me holding up the robe for emphasis.

"No, it's alright. I can fetch it in this room later. We should go first to the dining hall for breakfast. They must be waiting for us." I said. He nodded and we started heading towards the dining hall.

On our way to the dining hall, I suddenly stopped walking then waved at Catherine of whom I saw at a distance. I realized that she didn't notice me waving so…

"Catherine!" I shouted excitedly as I wave. I want to show off this outfit I found to her and how it suits me so much! Catherine was approaching me…and when she's finally here in front of me…

"Wolfram, Wow!" she started. I turned around for her… to give her a full look of my outfit and to make her notice something…

"Don't I?"I said then laughed. She didn't notice it?

"No, really…You look wonderful! It suits you better than the white one! You're starting to actually know what will suit you best in your wardrobe." She said. Oh… so she noticed it after all…and yes… even though I'm so hopeless when it comes to a big range of clothing. I'm really just used to my whole cabinet full of identical military unform.

"Thank you!" I thanked her.

"Wow, if I just knew black would suit you so much… I would have dug up every black clothing in your wardrobe." She then said, even I would have entered all the tailoring shops in Shin Makoku and have them make me all the black clothing design they have available.

"To do a one man fashion show with an audience consisting of one person? Hmmm… not bad! *laughs*" I laughed. I really like how I can talk with Cath like this… there's no tension. And I can assure that she won't judge me. I can talk freely and express myself just like how I want to… I can be me in front of her.

"*chuckles*… You're so mean Wolfram. Prince Adan and Damian are already head over heels for you and you still keep on making them fall over and over again for you!" she exclaimed. Well, it's not my fault those two are madly in love with me. It's already their problem… I just know that I'm freaking gorgeous, and I can't help it.

"Well, it's not my fault anymore. I can't help how I look. No matter what I do and what I wear, I would still look beautiful. Heck, I look good even in peasant clothes!" I said. Wow, I've never bragged about my looks to anyone! Not even Seth or Marius! I can't believe I did in front of Cath.

"Well… true… true. It's good that you're gaining your confidence again." She commented.

"I never lost it. I just never expressed my confidence on how I look before. I mean those who are insecure of how they look would most probably be offended if I ever boast about my looks even just a little in front of them." I admitted. "And yeah… there was a particular range of time that I forgot that I actually look dashing." I added. There was really a certain time that I did not care about how I look anymore... but it's not really because I forgot I look damn good… it's because I know that even if I don't care about it, I would remain as good looking.

"*laughs* Oh, Wolfram… how can you forget something like that!?" she asked, still laughing a bit.

"Well, let's say that I didn't actually care how I will look like anymore. This was the time that I was starting military school and my military training. But still, even though I don't make an effort to fix myself and look my best every day, many still became attracted to me." I said. This part is true. I mean I'm not even looking at the mirror this while time in the military school! And many of them were good looking as well, how come may were still attracted to me.

"Wow… lucky you! I'm so envious!... You don't make an effort yet they all become head over heels for you! Well, of course, you're looks is already enough for them to worship you… and… wait… Oh my gosh! I'm actually keeping you from eating your breakfast!" she then realized. And it is then that I realized the same as well.

"Oh my! You're right! Well, see you later." Catherine bid me goodbye then she headed the opposite way. When I faced the direction to the dining hall… I was shocked. "Oh Shinou! Yuuri! You were waiting for me?! Why didn't you said anything?! I wouldn't have taken that long if I just knew. But still, I'm sorry. I actually thought and concluded that you wouldn't wait for me when I stopped and chatted with Cath so I didn't bother to look your way. I'm really sorry." I said. I know I'm also at fault here.

He's not responding, so I became worried… Is he mad at me for actually forgetting about him a while ago?

"What! Oh, no! It's alright… I mean it. And besides, I'm not angry or anything... And like you said, I didn't talk or at least cleared my throat to let you know that I'm actually waiting. It's really alright. No need for apology!" he assured me... but I wasn't that convinced. "Well, let's go now?" he asked. I just nodded. We started to walk towards the dining hall once more. On the way, people would greet us good morning and we greet back to them.

Then we reached the door to the dining room. The two guards outside greeted up and opened the door for us… then we entered. Everyone was there already and they're obviously waiting for us before they start.

"Good morning, everyone!" Yuuri and I said in unison. The others greeted back… but they seem in a little trance. Yuuri and I were side by side so at first, I thought that they were all looking at the two of us. I just brushed it off. I noticed that they reserve our seats next to each other. Oh, well. What's new? Even when they first came from Shin Makoku to retrieve me, they did this in their first dinner here.

I saw Yuuri about to sit on his chair so I went to my seat as well, but then Yuuri stood up. What's wrong with him. He then pulled my seat… then he's just looking at me. Wait, he pulled a chair for me?! He's never done this before. I was still a bit shocked and confused but I still sat down and mumbled a soft thank you. It would be disrespectful to deny your king when he pulled a chair for you.

Then, he sat on his chair when I was finally seated. I'm still shocked of why he did that. It was so confusing.

Then I looked at the rest of the group. I'm sure they also find it odd for Yuuri to do that. But then I was shocked when I looked at each of their faces. They were looking at me… correction. They were staring at me. And it seems that they didn't even notice what Yuuri just did! They seem lost in thought?... no, they seem to be in a daze…

I smiled a bit. I know that they're like that because of me. Because of how I look right now… I mean I also got that reaction from Yuuri a while ago when I first showed him me in this outfit.

Then Yuuri bursted out. Well, not really burst out… he just raised his voice. "I'm sorry but… I can't help but notice that you all seem to be in a daze… Is something wrong or… is something up?" It was effective on putting them out of their trance though.

"Oh! Forgive us, you majesty… Nothing is wrong, I can assure you." Gunter then said. It really made them snap back to reality.

"Now that his majesty, Yuuri, and his highness, Wolfram, are here… let us start our breakfast now." King Nestor added.

We then started like he said. I was having a normal breakfast until…

"Wow, Wolfram… You look really beautiful today." Prince Damian said. I then just noticed that he still hasn't touched his plate. Was he in trance until just now? You mean he didn't snap back to reality when Yuuri raised his voice. He just came out of his daze now?! And the first thing he do is compliment me… how sweet. Wow, I can't believe I have that kind of effect to him.

"Indeed, Prince Wolfram. Black looks exceptionally good on you. Even I was put on a trance a little while ago. You look more and more beautiful every day." Prince Adan just said. Oh Shinou… I love this day already. It's not everyday you will be flirted with or complimented the first time someone will see you in the day.

I was actually pleased. These two are so sweet… I wish Yuuri would be like this to me. Too bad that can't happen. I smiled at the two. And we started breakfast… but my senses didn't miss the happening just beside me. The other mazokus may not notice t because their maryokus are neutralized in a human land but since I have this ring… the 'Ring of Activation'… my maryoku is active. And I can feel that Yuuri is trying to keep his maryoku in check.

What's his problem now?

Then I noticed Damian look at Yuuri and smirk. Huh? What's this all about? What is happening? Is there some kind of competition going on between them? If that's the case, over what? Was this a competition of strength? Is Damian challenging Yuuri in revenge of attacking him last night?

I noticed Yuuri narrow his eyes on Damian. Okay… something is really up.

"Yuuri, is something wrong?" I asked… but he just shook his head and gave me reassuring smile that didn't really reassure me… Actually, it made me suspicious.

"Damian?" I then tried on Damian. But…

"Huh? Is something wrong, Wolfram?" he just threw the question back at me. I frowned a little but replied a soft 'nothing' then continued eating. Something is really up… I want to know what… but I'm sure there would be people here who would want to talk to with me later.

What could it be?

Nevertheless, the breakfast continued peacefully without anyone transforming or any harsh exchange of words unlike last night.

After breakfast, Greta, mother and Gisela asked me to tour them around the castle. And I was very much in the mood for a little walk so I agreed. I even convinced Anissina to come with us so that she wouldn't be able to come with Lord Nicolai to his laboratory.

…..

Yuuri's POV

Damian looked at me then smirked. Is he mocking me?! Really? First, the talk thins morning in Wolfram's room… now here at breakfast?!

I narrowed my eyes on him. He doesn't care that were in front of food or everyone else? Well, I don't as well! I'm not backing down on this. The tension between us is building up. But then…

"Yuuri, is something wrong?" Wolfram then asked. Shit! He noticed. He might get suspicious… And that is what mustn't happen. What if he follow us and see that we're reading my entry in his diary!? Oh what will he do to us then! Oh, correction (I don't care about Damian)…What will he do to me!?

"Damian?" he then shifted his attention and question to Damian.

"Huh? Is something wrong, Wolfram?" he just threw the question back at him. he frowned a little but replied a soft 'nothing' then continued eating. I hope he didn't get suspicious.

Nevertheless, the breakfast continued peacefully.

After breakfast, Greta, Lady Celie and Gisela asked Wolfram to tour them around the castle and Wolfram agreed. Yes! What a great timing. And he even convinced Anissina to come with them… okay, no threats on the castle exploding anytime of the day.

"So, are you coming or not?" I heard Prince Damian asked me as I step out of the dining hall. He was waiting beside the door. I narrowed my eyes on him but I replied as I follow him to his room.

"I am. But I am not doing this for your amusement. I just want to know what Wolfram felt about me all this years and what he has been through that I didn't even know… I want to know what I've caused him so I can make it up to him… So I can show him that I didn't want to inflict the pain I actually caused him." I said. A few more minutes and we reached his room. We entered, not before checking if someone saw us or followed us.

He motioned for me to sit on the couch… and he went to his bookshelf. He removed a book… and it revealed a secret compartment where Wolfram's diary was in. He took the diary and flipped its pages. Then he stopped flipping. He went closer to me and handed it to me.

I hesitantly reached for it. Then I started reading…

" The 28th Maou of Shin Makoku. He is the king that my ancestor, Shinou Heika, chose to defeat the Soushou… and he did. He has onyx eyes and raven hair. He has this contagious goofy smile and a very kind personality. He is warm hearted. He gives love to everyone. He brought peace and joy to our country. He gave us hope and introduce alliance.

He gave the country and other people so much more. He also gave many things to me. He brought change to who I am or how I am and many more. But what he caused me the most is PAIN. So much pain… an excruciating pain…pain that is almost suffocating… pain that makes you feel that your heart was being ripped apart… even greater pain that the one I've experience from my brothers.

And here is how it all started…"
