Meanwhile at blood pledge castle four men entered the kings office in a tired state. The mysterious double black known as his eminence stood waiting. He had gotten word hours ago of their need to speak to him but has only waited ten minutes.

"Your eminence, I'm glad your here. There's a lot to be discussed."

The sage looked into the eyes of lord von voltaire giving away nothing. "Such as?"

Not entirely sure where to start lord von voltaire took a seat rubbing his forehead hoping to subside his acing head as Conrart stepped up. "My younger brother he's been having these… strange dreams. They affect him, in a less then positive way. It's worrisome, we're hoping somehow you can help."

His eminence glasses reflected the moons light. "I see…"

The king looked at his best friend tiredly and he knew this particular conversation could wait until morning but like the other two known as wolfram's brothers, there is no way he would be able to sleep with each question running through his mind. "Murata, wolf has been stressing a lot lately I want to figure out a way to help ease his mind. Only I don't know how to help him, there's still so many unanswered questions."

The sage readjusted his glasses. "What exactly are you asking Shibuya?"

"Did you know Rufus von Bielefelt was female?"

Giving no sign of a reaction the sage smirked inside his mind. It appears the time has come my king. He always knew this day would happen. Even so, he wasn't a hundred percent sure the news today would be this. "Yes." He simply responded.

"You knew-" Gwendal started.

"And didn't say anything?!" Conrart finished both glaring daggers at the sage who stood unfazed.

The double black known as the current king of the demon kingdom on the other hand clenched his fists barely containing his anger that suddenly appeared like a flame. "Wolf has been wondering who that woman was for a while now and you knew!"

"What do you mean? Are you talking about his dreams?"

"Of course I am!" Yuuri barked.

"So… lord von Bielefelt has been seeing his ancestor when he closes his eyes to sleep. Interesting."

"Don't change the subject. If you would have told us sooner maybe things would have been easier on wolf."

"You can't say that for sure Shibuya. Besides, he knows now, you all do apparently. Isn't that what matters. We can't turn back the clock."

Yozak who has been standing off from the rest listening quietly walked over to his eminence in a shock state. He had no idea Rufus von Bielefelt was a woman, not to mention the one in the kids dreams. It was all so… strange. "His eminence has a point, we can't change things now all we can do is move forward. There's still the question of why."

The king took a deep breath. "Fine. Tell me Murata, what else haven't you told us; where my fiance is concern?"

"I could say the same about you Shibuya, fiance?" The sage smirked.

The king rolled his eyes. "Answer the question."

The sage sighed. "lord von Bielefelt dreams, tell me about them first."

Feeling as if the sage was purposely asking Yuuri shook off the weird vibes he was getting from his best friend and started from the beginning. Retelling wolf's dreams, and of course finding out Rufus real identity. Meanwhile Murata hid behind his glasses once more taking everything in. "lord von Bielefelt has every reason to be stressed." He said once Yuuri finished.

Gwendal who was still trying to ease his migraine felt a pinch of distress in his heart based from his eminence comment. "What's that's supposed to mean?"

"Nothing, I was merely speaking out loud. I fear for Lord von Bielefelt's state of mind. I'm sure these dreams he's been having haven't been easy on him."

"Exactly, that's why we want to help him, please your eminence if you know anything that can help my younger brother tell us."

"lord Weller, there are some things people wish to bury and be forgotten, Rufus von Bielefelt lived four-thousand-years-ago she has her reason for pretending to be male. As I'm sure you all are aware of woman were not permitted to lead back then. Before Shinou was king It was seen as dishonorable not having a male heir to take over your land, even same-sex-marriages were frowned upon.

Rufus's parents could not produce a male so in the end to save face for their clan their only daughter was forced to dress as a man and take over for her father. Still her heart remanded female."

Yozak swiped his hand down his face in shock and disbelief. "Your saying Rufus pretended to be a man for her family's honor?"

"Precisely."

Yuuri held one hand on his heart and one out stretched in front of him looking unwell. "Okay, but I still don't understand what any of this has to do with wolf."

Conrart nodded. "I agree, my baby brother might share the same bloodline with Rufus von Bielefelt as they our family but her gender and her life has nothing to do with my brother."

"You mention Shibuya in lord von Bielefelt dreams Rufus was with baby."

"Yeah, so?"

The sage looked at his best friend feeling a slight ping of guilt. "Her baby's name was Finn."

"Finn?!" All chocked out excepted the sage who stood standing with a blank expression he could see the wheels turning inside their heads from where he stood.

"Yes, the name you mention before. I believe the voice calling out for Finn was Rufus."

"But Murata, none of what your saying makes any sense."

"Why isn't there any documentation on Finn?" Gwendal asked.

"Like I said she was forced into being a man. So when she found out she was with child she knew if anyone was to find out, her whole family reputation would be tarnished. This particular family has always been proud of their heritage, they wouldn't allow for something like that to happen. So like Rufus's gender they concealed the truth of her pregnancy or should I say his very existence."

Yozak shook his head. "Basically what your saying is, the Bielefelt's have a lot of secrets and cover ups?"

"As dose every other family."

"Even if I could wrap my head around why they did what they did, that still doesn't explain what any of this has to do with my wolf. You said it yourself all of this took place four-thousand-years-ago." The phrase my wolf earned the king mixes reactions but he ignored all of them as his inner thoughts circled.

"Shibuya, only one person can answer that and that person isn't me."

"What are you saying?"

With a sparkle in his eminence eye one name left his mouth. "Shinou."

…

Sleep, for most could be described as a beautiful experience away from reality but for some a nightmare or worse they weren't granted the option of sleep at all. With minds racing all five men traveled the short distance from the castle to the tomb of the great one, to talk to a certain men who they hoped is still awake.

The king rode his horse at top speed with the others not far behind as the distance grew shorter his thoughts grew longer he had no idea if or how Shinou could help but he hoped for wolf's sake that he would be able too.

Finally at the tomb the men unmounted their horses, tied them up and walked inside. Men are not allowed into the tomb of the great one without permission but tonight with his eminence by their side the few woman on guard let them pass or maybe it was how serious the five of them looked.

His eminence walked over to stand in the middle of the room. Ulrike already there with her back turned she didn't need to turn around to know exactly who it is standing behind her. "Your eminence." She called. "I see your not alone."

The sage smiled fondly at the priestess who could pass for a child. "Yes, I think you know why we're all here." Ulrike didn't know everything there was to know about the events that took place four-thousand-years-ago between the first king and his sage, but she did have the information this time. She knew what the sage is preferring too.

"Yes, it appears the time has come for old wounds to reopen."

The great sage nodded after Ulrike turned to face him and the others who stood behind the sage listening intently with mixes emotions running high as they tried to follow along in their tired state.

The sages glasses cover his eyes as his expression turned blank the air around him turned mysterious he stared passed Ulrike who In turn felt what he is looking at. "Shinou, stop stalling, the longer you wait the harder it will be on lord von Bielefelt."

The man himself laughed landing on the rooms floor seeming to appear out of thin air. "I could never hid anything from you my sage."

"Shinou!" All but Ulrike and Murata yelled out. Ulrike and Murata shook their heads simultaneously.

Shinou the one known as the first king of the demon kingdom and the destroyer of soshu stood unwavering as the others stared at him most with questions running through their minds. He always knew this day would pass even hoped for it, but retailing this story wouldn't be easy. Also he wasn't sure after all this time if it was truly the right thing to do anymore.

"Shinou." Yuuri started. "If you know anything regarding whats been happening to my fiance please tell me."

Sighing, Shinou searched his mind for a past he's never forgotten. "The times were different back then. Some of the stuff people can get away with now would be considered dishonorable back then. I never saw myself falling in love with anyone. I've been with plenty of woman yes, but never have I loved anyone.

When I found out Rufus was a woman and that she was in love with me I wasn't sure if I should truly give into her, I didn't want to hurt someone I consider a friend. In the end I gave into primal instinct. I felt that what I did was wrong but eventually we did fell in love and I thought how glad I was to have given in, we even married. But then, with what was happening to my body I and my sage had to come up with a plan I wouldn't be able to stay with her any longer-"

Yozak put out his hand. "Wait, so you and Rufus von Bielefelt were-"

"Married, yes."

Mouths agape, if it wasn't confirmed Yuuri, Yozak and the two brothers wouldn't have believed what they heard. Clearly in shock no one said anything as Shinou continued. "Rufus, my wife, was pregnant and gave birth to our son Finn, the day before I had to say goodbye. As hard as it was, I knew one day I would be with my son again." He finished.

Everything that was said literally had the four men beside Shinou and Murata barely holding themselves up and off the floor. Not only has the secret of Rufus being a girl and that she had a baby been shocking but her husband and father of said baby is the great one! Honestly, for them it was a lot to take in.

"So… the portrait, the one that was found in the library that was real?" Conrart asked after a minute of composing himself.

Shinou nodded his head once. "Yes, but it wasn't as well."

"What do you mean?"

"The one you found, Rufus is the one who did it. She was always very creative. I wasn't around to pose for a real family portrait so she started one using her imagination." Shinou took a deep breath. "Finn passed away when he was two years old, from an illness. My wife… she… couldn't bare the lost and died shortly after." Shinou looked away needing a minute.

No one spoke a word. The whole situation is mind blowing and heartbreaking enough what is there to actually say. But still Conrart couldn't contain himself from asking. "What does any of this have to do with my younger brother?"

The sage, Ulrike, Shinou all looked at each other with the same unreadable stare. "Lord von Bielefelt is the reincarnation of Finn." Ulrike said softly.

"Eh?!"

…

"The dreams are real then?" Yuuri asked being the first to clam down.

"I suppose, lord von Bielefelt has been seeing the past."

"But even if I could believe what your saying and it is a past life why is this happening to my younger brother?" Gwendal asked.

"well-"

"I'll answer that my sage. Your brother is the reincarnation of my son. He's having these dreams to learn the truth, the truth about who he used to be."

Conrart stared at Shinou. "But why? Who he is currently is wolfram von Bielefelt. Even if he has the soul of Finn that's not who he is right now."

"To you, maybe. But to me his soul belongs to my son. He is my son"

Gwendal rubbed his forehead with one hand feeling the ace increase. "I'm sorry with what happen to your son but my younger brother can not handle something like this, he's already stressed as it is."

"I've notice, my intentions are not to hurt my son."

"He's not your son! He's my baby brother!" Conrart knew raising his voice at the first king wasn't a good idea but he couldn't hold himself back.

"I don't except anyone to understand, all I want is the chance to be with my son again."

"Forgive me great one, but I don't think the kid can handle this kind of information. Maybe its best we don't tell him." Yozak suggested noticing his friend in distress truthfully he himself was worried about the kid as well.

"He'll figure it out eventually on his own. The dreams he's been having will eventually guide him to the truth."

"Can't we somehow stop the dreams from continuing?"

"This isn't your call lord Weller he will discover who he is whether you like it or not."

Tried and frustrated Gwendal gritted his teeth, clenching his fits and taking solid deep breaths through his nose. Doing everything he could to hold himself back, this is the great one after all. It wouldn't do him any good if he lost control.

Conrart felt the same strain he hid his anger behind a blank expression. He wanted nothing more then to protect those important to him. His baby brother being one of them. This man standing in front of him might be the great one but there was no way he would ever let anything bad happen to wolfram even if it cost him his own life.

"Now, now lets not get our panties in a twist whatever happens is up to lord von Bielefelt. I get how much you want to protect him but he's old of enough to make his own choices. You all need to respect that." The sage said directing his words to the two brothers.

Yuuri clenched his fits he wasn't happy with what was being said either but he knew his friend is right as much as he wants to protect his fiance he knows to let him make his own choices. "Murata is right, we might want things a certain way but its not up to us what happens. wolfram has a right to know about Finn and everything else. If we try to keep this from him then it will only backfire on us.

The other occupants in the room had different reactions to Yuuri's words but no one dared say a thing.

Ulrike being the first to open her mouth. "For now, I think it's best if we all get some sleep."

The four man that weren't Murata and Shinou looked at each other before nodding tiredly then bowed slightly before swiftly making their way outside. They did not say anything further as hey mouthed their horses riding all the way back to blood pledge castle. Yuuri couldn't believe all that he heard so far, staring when wolf first told him about his dreams. His poor wolf, he wished for nothing more then to have him in his arms right now.

…

Wolfram's pov.

The table held ten people. The woman in the thin blue dress is my age. I learned her name is rose. Then there's the muscle man surprisingly enough he's my age as well. His name suits him Ekon. The last one with the same age as me is Asher. I clinked with those three like magic.

The rest of them are older like Conrart and big brother. I got along with them but not like I did with the other three. I felt clam as they included me in their conversation like I belonged there with them. What I was feeling before melted away as I laughed at their stories and enjoyed myself.

I woke up the next morning feeling refreshed, the best part was I didn't have another confusing dream. I took a warm bath, ate breakfast with uncle just the two of us and enjoyed my alone time with him. I really missed spending time with him.

Matter of fact I missed this place too. Despite not living here, this castle meant a great deal to me. For at least an hour after eating I spent time in the flower garden missing Yuuri every time I saw a flower that I thought would suit him.

The person I missed the most though, is Greta. I wondered how she is doing and if she is missing me as much as I am missing her. I thought about my life so far it's surprising how much one can think about when they finally have time to be by themselves.

My schedule has always been hectic especially after I met Yuuri. When we get married my life will be even busier. I was once the prince before Yuuri came but my responsibilities then won't compare to when I become prince consort.

Thinking of marring Yuuri has my heart beating in happiness. Finally after all this time I finally have the person I always wanted. Even so, I would be lying if I didn't acknowledge the part of me that is afraid one day he'll change his mind.

If that were to happen my heart wouldn't be able to stop itself form breaking despite the embarrassment it would have to endure.

When night fell the other guests that were scheduled to arrive appeared. I could hear them from my room. The meeting was going to start in one hour. I personally still did not know if I would attend or not. Despite only having an hour to decide.

I choice to opt out of it in the end and instead after a relaxing bath went back to my room to take an early rest not bothering with dinner. My appetite still hasn't come back but I did mange to eat breakfast with uncle that morning.

Yuuri sweet kiss is my last thought before my eyes slid closed.

A/N: Sorry its such a short chapter. I hope everyone has a good forth of July!

Have a good night or day!
