Chapter 40
Wolfram's POV
Currently, I am giving some of my fellow mazokus a tour around this castle, namely: my mother (Lady Cecilie) , Anissina, Gisela and Greta. Well, as expected, mother is a head turner. Boys will follow her with their eyes and would blush. It's not something new but it still fascinates me. How can mother keep her charm up to this point of her age! Not to mention her looks! She looks even younger than Aniue! And it's actually funny because some people will look at my mother then at me… then they will blink or rub their eyes and look at both of us again.
Yeah, even I know we look too much alike. But no one would ever mistake me as my mother or the other way around. We may look alike but the difference is also huge. Her height, the length of her hair, her flirty attitude, her *ehem* bossoms, her outfit… and many more.
But actually, I saw paintings of my ancestors Shinou Heika and Rufus von Bielefeld… now I don't know from who I inherited my looks. I mean, the only difference between me and Shinou is our eyes. His is blue and mine is green. Rufus is just a girl version of me with longer hair, not curly hair like my mother, but wavy hair just like mine and Shinou.
Anissina is with us and good thing that she isn't getting bored, my thanks to Greta keeping her occupied when she seems to be starting to get bored. Gisela is also helpful bringing up interesting questions that will get the other's interest and attention as well. Right now, were here in the garden located at the center of this castle… It has a giant fountain in the middle. Just like mother's garden back in Shin Makoku, Queen Amanda also see to it that this garden is at its best condition. She tends to it personally. The only difference is that mother's garden consists of flowers which she bred herself… this garden just consists on common flowers.
Currently, we are sitting on the grass and taking a break from walking. We had a lot of things that we talked about along the tour.
But I really wonder about what's up with Yuuri and Damian back there at breakfast. It's been bothering me since their exchange of looks (glares). And I'm not just bringing it up in our conversation but I really can't help my self anymore. There's really something not quite supposed to there or something… Okay, I'm gonna ask mother and the others.
"Umh… mother, did you notice something different about Yuuri and Damian's behavior a while ago at breakfast?"I asked.
The girls all looked at me as if I've grown another head.
"Wolfie-dear… I think everyone noticed." Hahaue said to me.
"E-eh? Everyone did?! Well, umh, it's just that, I'm wondering what that's all about." So they did notice. Now, Do they know what's up?
"I thought his majesty was the only one who's dense… but I didn't think you could have the same case." Anissina commented.
"Huh? What does this has to do with me?!" I'm confused.
"Everything, Papa." Greta then answered… wow… even my daughter realized what I wasn't able to.
"They're having a tension because of you. They're fighting over you!" Gisela finally quitted the riddles and spilled the beans.
"What!?" Now that is something that turned my world upside down. That is something that won't happen, as far as I know.
They all exchange confused glances as if wondering why I'm surprised.
"What do you mean what?" Gisela asked.
"I mean that's impossible to happen!" I exclaimed.
"What's impossible to happen, dear?" Mother asked. They don't know!?
"Mother, it's Yuuri we're talking about here. He won't get into a fight just because of me!" I stated my point.
"Yeah, he also won't battle Soushou to get your heart back." Anissina said dripping with sarcasm.
"That's different Anissina. That was a real battle going on back then. This, on the other hand, you imply as if this is a rivalry in terms of romance. And Yuuri would never fight for me. He's not interested in me that way, remember?" I know he won't do that. Their putting too much thought of romance into Yuuri's actions.
"I wouldn't be so sure about that, Wolfie-dear. That back there is a fight with more tension than all of the men who fought over me put all together. And besides, if he isn't interested in you that way, then why is he in tension with the human prince? It can't be because of their fight last dinner. If it were just because of that, they should be at each other's throats the first moment they see each other this morning." Mother said. But I still wasn't convinced. I know Yuuri wouldn't look at me like that.
"Yeah, Papa… I mean, this breakfast, Daddy Yuuri just pulled a chair for you. He has never done that. It's as if he's trying to please you." I whipped my head towards Greta's direction, wide-eyed.
I also asked myself why he did that at breakfast but that thought was instantly overpowered by the tension between that two. I almost forgot about it. Wait… Yuuri's trying to please me?
"Oh, yeah! I also noticed but I just didn't mentioned it." Gisela said.
"Wait, don't tell me you've given up already in his majesty? Is that it Wolfram? Have thrown all hope out the window?" Anissina asked me with a shocked look on her face.
The other three now looked at me shocked as well. I sighed.
"I won't hope anymore. Because all that hope would just be crushed and I will just get hurt over and over again if I keep on hoping. So yeah, I abandoned all hope and was just waiting for our engagement to bet terminated." I confessed. They looked at me, shocked to the core.
"Papa, you can't give up! You never give up!" Greta exclaimed. It's true… that' how they've known me. I NEVER give up. Well, that's what they thought. I actually always give up, in all things that are in matters of heart. Because I always get hurt so much in those things.
"Sorry, Greta. I already have." I got up and said. "Let's just continue the tour later. I'm tired now and want to retire to my room for a moment." I walked towards my room then.
Yuuri's POV
"I don't know if in the future, I will learn to love someone else… But all I can assure you is that no one can ever love you as much as I do right now. I love you up to the heavens and beyond… so much more height and depth my soul can ever reach… I love you and love more and more with every beat my heart makes… I love you that the power of exploding stars cannot compare… The burning fire in my heart will put the heat molten elements deep beneath the ground into shame… I love you so much than I can ever explain. The feeling in my heart, unexplainable… that even I cannot comprehend fully.
I love you Yuuri… so much… and I can't believe that IT HURTS AS MUCH."
Tears running down my cheeks…
"Oh, Wolfram." *sobs*

How could it be that I never noticed? How could it be that I never looked at it that way, in that perspective? How could I be so dense?! How could I be so mean?! How could I be so insensitive?! How could I only think so selfishly around him while I'm so selfless when it comes to other people?! What kind of friend am I ?!
Now I feel so pathetic… as if I'm some worthless lump of poop on the road. How could I hold my head up high when the person who was with me every step of the way even until now that I've reached this far and high…and ready to throw himself into danger just for me… is suffering so much because of me. And that suffering grows and grows by the minute…
I know I have to make it up to him… but is it already too late? Would he just prefer that I break our engagement and stay so far away from him? What if…
My train of miserable thoughts was cut by someone's laugh.
"How pathetic." Prince Damian said, looking down on me. "You act high and mighty back there on your first dinner here and now here you are crying your eyes out… Actually, I expected much from you. I expected that once you've read this, you will run out of this room and do something right away. But I was wrong. Because of all the things you could do, you chose to cry here make yourself even more pathetic than you already are. You don't really deserve Wolfram…" and with that he left with a very disappointed look on his face.
And what he just said slapped reality to me a hundred times. I should do something! I shouldn't just sit here and cry about something that's already done! I know I should also keep the past in mind and learn from it but what's important is now and the future. His suffering must not continue or at least lessen from now on. I may not know yet how to do that, but at least that's a start… I know I have to do something… I just need to know what.
And with that, I got up and went out of the room… Wolfram's diary still in my hand. Where did I went? Well, I first went to my room and put Wolfram's diary in one of my luggage boxes. I'm not really comfortable with the Hexzalian Princes having something that is Wolfram's on their possession. And then I went out for a little walk… to try and think of something…
Damian's POV
"Oh, Wolfram." *sobs*
I watch him cry pathetically… it actually doesn't make me pity or sympathize him. If it make me feel something, then that will be disappointment and irritation… anger actually.
"How pathetic." I said, looking down on him. He doesn't deserve to be looked up at. "You act high and mighty back there on your first dinner here and now here you are crying your eyes out… Actually, I expected much from you. I expected that once you've read this, you will run out of this room and do something right away. But I was wrong. Because of all the things you could do, you chose to cry here make yourself even more pathetic than you already are. You don't really deserve Wolfram…" and with that I left. I'm not yet contented with what I said but I left it there already. At least I gave him a piece of my mind.
Oh, I can't wait to tell my brother about how pathetic King Yuuri is back there. I know that even my brother would share the same opinion as me. Hmmm. If I'm not mistaken, he should be in a meeting with Jonathan and Nicolai in Jonathan's office. So, I headed there. That Yuuri king ain't that much of a competition as I expected.
