Chapter 4

Gisela's POV

I was inside the infirmary stock room, checking the medicine, materials and equipment supply for the month… until I heard hurried footsteps. No, maybe it was running? What's happening outside? I opened the door only to find out that those people who are running already passed the room I was in and is heading towards where Yuuri-heika and the others are.

Wait… that's Lady Cecilie… along with Lady Anissina and Princess Greta. Looks like they heard what happened. I was about to go inside the room I was in to continue the checking, but when the three ladies were in front of the room the king is in, they just stood there in front of the open door. Their faces show their shock and an emotion I can't quite name. I figured something bad is happening in there.

I left my work, put the checklist on top of a table and went, over there. I can always check the supplies later. It's more important to check if there's a medical emergency there. I mean, I am a healer. As I near the wide-opened door, the happenings inside became more and more visible to me.

Oh no… oh no… This can't be. His majesty he… I was thinking that I should go to his majesty to calm and examine him. Wait, no… something's more important… I looked over to where Wolfram is. I gasped… he's hyperventilating again! And he's about to fall! I quickly entered the room, accidentally shoving Lady Anissina aside. I heard her exclaim some complains but I paid no attention to those… the only thing in my mind is to be able to catch Wolfram on time.

"Wolfram!"

He lost consciousness. His body has fallen so low already; I wouldn't be able to catch him with my hands properly… He would still it the floor. But I can't let that happen… he mustn't hit the floor! And as a healer, I won't let him! And so, with resolve, I dove and cushioned the cold floor to soften the effect of the impact for him. Even if it means getting myself hurt in the process.

"Ouch!" that indeed hurt a lot. But I can't complain now.

"Wolfram?! Wolfram!" then I felt my burden being lighter and lighter, Conrad pulled Wolfram from me.

"Are you alright, Gisela?" Conrad asked me… but then turned his attention to his brother."Wolfram, wake up! Wolfram!" Conrad exclaimed shaking him.

"No! Be gentle with him!" I shouted as I hurriedly stood up. He was shaking him too hard. I went to examine Wolfram in Conrad's arms. But I can't examine him properly.

"This is bad." I said.

"What do you mean?" my father asked worriedly.

"He fell… this is very bad." I said. "You!" I pointed at the king. He stiffened and gulped… knowing that he is somewhat responsible for this. He replied a meek 'yes?'

"If you're feeling better now, get out of the bed and let Wolfram on the bed instead!" I commanded with my 'sergeant' tone.

"Uh… s-sure…" he said, standing up and moving away.

"Daughter, he is the king. Don't talk to him like that."My father scolded.

"Oh? So is his majesty gonna punish me for that?!" I exclaimed, getting more and more annoyed by the minute.

"No, of course, not. Gunter, it's fine… Let's just let Gisela do her job." The double black king said.

"Why are you so angry? You were able to cushion Wolfram from the fall. He's gonna be alright. He only passed out from hyperventilating." My father said.

"No! It's not that simple!" I argued.

"So you mean that it's complicated?" he argued back.

"Yes! Why do you think I went to great lengths, diving on the ground, hurting myself in the process, just to make sure he suffers as less as I can make it so?" I shouted angrily, glaring at my adoptive father. He stood there stunned.

"What do you mean by that, Gisela?" Conrad interjected, but it's good that he did. It reminded me of the emergency right now.

"No time to explain, Lord Weller! Lay Wolfram on the bed… carefully. I need to examine him fully to make sure everything's alright. All of you, please get out. Take Heika in his room to rest." I commanded. They all just stood there, stupefied. "What are you waiting for? Don't just stand there!" I exclaimed and there hurriedly went out and closed the door.

*sigh* Now that they're gone… I can finally start examining him… Oh Shinou, please let Wolfram be fine… Please let everything alright.

After almost an half an hour… I sighed in relief. Everything's fine.

I went to the door to get something to drink but someone was waiting outside the room. It was Conrad and Lady Cecilie.

"Um… Gisela… how's my baby?" Lady Cecilie asked worriedly.

"He's all fine." I assured her.

"Thank Shinou… I was so worried… the way you acted a while ago, I know something is wrong. Worse than everyone thought so… But I trusted you." She said.

"My mother insisted on waiting here outside for you to come out. She was so worried, I just couldn't leave her. So I let Gunter and the others take Heika to his room." Conrad said. "Thank you for taking care of my brother."

"Lord Weller, if may speak freely…" I asked permission.

"Uh… yes." He said.

"Please talk to that godson of yours not to spout out things like that again in front of Wolfram in the future. In due time, I'll tell you the reason why... I'll talk to Wolfram and ask permission to let you all know. But for now, I ask of you to help me not to cause further stress for him." I said.

"G-Gisela… what do you mean?" he asked.

"I said I will let you know when I can. I swore to Wolfram I won't tell anyone yet." I said.

"Gisela, is something wrong with my baby? Please tell me that's not the case." Lady Cecilie exclaimed.

"No! No! I assure you… nothing is 'wrong' with him. He… He's perfect. But it's just that there is something 'up'… And I really can't tell for now. I assure you, you'll be the first one to know. But for now, all I can say to you is that he's really alright." I said. "Oh! Uh… Lord Weller, can you help me move Wolfram to his room?"

"Of course." He said and entered the room to get Wolfram.

In Wolfram's room, night time.

Lady Cecilie and Conrad turned on for the night. I was the only one left in his room when Wolfram slowly stirred and opened his eyes.

"Wolfram!" I exclaimed. "Oh my gosh! You're awake. How are you feeling?" I asked.

"M'fine… W-what happened?" she asked.

"You remember what happened to his majesty right?" I started. His faced turned mournful… so heartbroken. But I continued." And you hyperventilated… you- " but before I can finish, he interrupted.

"I… I'm fine now Gisela. Thank you… Please leave me alone for a while." He requested. "I… I can't talk to you properly for now… I-I don't want to pour all the negative emotion I'm feeling right now to you."

"No! Listen, Wolfram… you…" I am hesitating but he needs to know… I know that he's in sorrow after his majesty lost his memories… but he needs to know.

"What is it, Gisela?" he asked, in an almost inaudible voice. Face looking so sullen, and obviously, his spirit lost all will to fight… his fire dimmed down.

"Look… I don't care if you say hurtful words to me right now… I know you're feeling sorrowful and hurt… and disappointed… maybe even angry… And you shouldn't keep it to yourself. It will just stress you further." I said. I know I my words and actions caused him pain before… and now, I am trying to make it up to him… And I will do my best not to mess up.

He didn't answer… he just nodded.

"Wolfram… if I may be so bold, can you forget what happened back there… and can you try not to feel all those negative emotions in your heart?" I asked.

"G-Gisela… what are you saying? You saw what happened back there… and you know what we've been through… you even know of my condition right now… how could you just say that I should not care if Yuuri forgot everything… that I should not feel grief if he doesn't acknowledge that we're going to get married…" he looked at me straight into the eye with all the sorrow he feels, I could almost feel it.

"But it's because of your condition that I'm telling you this. Wolfram, all those negative emotion… all those stress… all those frustrations will bring you harm." I said… he looked down and bit his lower lip. He knows I'm right but even I know that what I'm telling him to do is not as easy as I say it.

"Look, Wolfram… I know it will be hard to do. But you must. A while ago, when you got so affected by how his majesty forgot everything and started denying it, you hyperventilated. And you fell down on the ground Wolfram." I told him. His eyes widened and whipped his head towards my direction.

"I hit the floor?!" he asked in a frightened voice.

"You can say that… but I somewhat caught you so the impact was not as strong as it should be." I explained him. He just looked at me, waiting for me to continue. "Don't worry, you're alright Wolfram." I assured him, then I held his hand.

Then he said. " I'm fine… but how's the baby?"

"THE BABY?!" we heard from outside the door.
