HI everyone! Sorry it took me some time to update! Sorry...

Anyways, I hope you enjoy and please review, whether it may be positive or negative...

"Laugh all you want today, King Yuuri. For soon you won't be able to." Black Rose uttered those words as she disappeared into the woods.

A few hours later,

A maid was walking through the hall ways. She was carrying the Wolfram's dinner. As she was a few meters away from the Royal Chamber, Conrad called her.

"Excuse me, is that Wolfram's dinner?" He asked.

"Yes your Excellency." She answered.

"You seem to be tired, why don't you go back to the kitchen and finish your work up? I'll take this to Wolfram." He said.

"Oh no, your Excellency, its okay. I can take this to Lord Wolfram. It would be improper for a maid to pass her chores to her master." The maid replied.

"But don't you think it's more indecent for a older brother to let the maid take care of his younger brother. Let me do it" Conrad insisted.

"Well, if you insist, you're Excellency." The maid gave in, passing Conrad the tray.

"Thank you, your Excellency." The maid lowered her head and went down to the kitchen.

Conrad sighed. "I'm not the one who should be doing this."

He then proceeded to the Royal Chamber. He knocked on the door and entered the room.

"Wolfram, are you awake?" asked Conrad.

"Of course I'm awake. It still early." answered Wolfram.

"Here's your dinner." Conrad said.

Conrad sat on a nearby chair while Wolfram ate his dinner.

"Wolfram, wait." Wolfram was about to drink the glass of water.

Wolfram flashed him a confused look.

"What?" The blond asked irritably.

"Before you drink that, Gisela told me to pour this on your drink. She said it's some kind of herbal medicine so that by tomorrow night, you'll be able to attend to your duties." Conrad lied.

"To train my troops?" Wolfram asked.

"No, to be a parent." Conrad answered.

"Well, I guess you're right." Wolfram replied.

Conrad then, poured the so-called-herbal medicine to Wolfram's drink. And then Wolfram drank it.

"Well, you can go back resting, now." Conrad said as he left the room with the tray.

As he closed the door of Wolfram's room, he sighed.

He took the tray to the kitchen and then went to Gwendal's office.

"So, what happened? Did you make him drink it?" asked Gwendal.

"Mission Accomplished." Conrad said.

"Good." Gwendal replied.

"Now, Gwendal, about the celebration, we have to tighten the security in and out of the castle. We can't let Black Rose ruin this celebration." Conrad said.

"I know, I have ordered my men to conduct surveillance in every corner of Shin Makoku. If they find her, then they will report to me immediately." Gwendal said, clutching his fingers together.

"She really loves playing 'hide and seek', doesn't she? I still remember that day when you took her camping into the woods, and when you took a rest, when you wake up, she's gone. Then you searched the whole area just to find her. You even called for the search and rescue team of Shin Makoku to find her, only to find out that she was just hiding on top of that huge tree where you took a rest. When you got back, she kept on taunting you. It's such a waste. You enjoyed each other's company, way back twenty years ago; when she was still you're fian-,"

"Past is past, Conrad. We shouldn't bring those days back anymore. Now, if you don't need anything else, you can go." said Gwendal

"Of course, 'brother', now 'if you need' anything from 'me', I'll be in my room." Conrad said, those words that he uttered seem to have a double meaning, some kind of secret message.

"Thank you, Conrad." Gwendal said.

As Conrad exited the office, Gwendal stood up from his chair and opened the window. He gazed at the full moon that lightened up the garden below.

And then reminiscence from twenty years ago, flashed into his mind.

"Gwendal, tell me, why does the moon shine so bright at night and disappears when the sun rises?"

"Because the sun is too bright that the moon is out shined by the sun," Gwendal answered.

"Nope, you're wrong; the moon disappears because it gives way to the sun. Same as that pride of yours, it should give way so that you could smile and be happy."

"What?"

"Smile for me, Gwendal."

"Smile for me, Gwendal." Those words kept echoing on Gwendal's mind since that night. Every time he'd see the moon, those words would pop into his head.

He then closed the window and continued his work.

That morning,

Yuuri woke up with the warm light of the sun touching his skin. As he opened his eyes, a certain blond was the first thing he landed his sight on.

He stared at Wolfram for a moment and he noticed something.

'Is it just me or something has changed about Wolfram?' He thought.

Then Wolfram's eyes opened.

"Good Morning, Wolfram." greeted Yuuri.

"Good Morning," Wolfram greeted back.

"So, we better dress up and have breakfast." Yuuri suggested.

"Did you have a decent sleep last night?" asked Wolfram.

"I did. I'm used to being kicked out of the bed." Yuuri joked.

"So you don't want me here in your room, huh?" Wolfram glared at Yuuri.

"Of course not, like I said, I'm used to it already." Yuuri said.

"Hmph," Wolfram rose from the bed, and then Yuuri noticed something.

"Wolfram, you're-," Yuuri said, pointing on Wolfram's chest.

Wolfram peeked inside his nightie and he didn't see breasts!

Wolfram touched his chests and down to his…you know what….

"Wolf, you're back to normal!" Yuuri exclaimed.

Yuuri sent for Gisela to check on Wolfram.

"Well, his okay you're majesty, his completely back to normal." Gisela said.

"How?" Yuuri asked.

"Well… um…You see your highness; I discovered that his sickness was caused by…umm…stress! Yah! Stress! It was caused by stress and now that he's relaxed already, he's sickness deteriorated. Yes…that's it…You're highness…" Gisela lied but Yuuri bought the story.

"I never knew that stress can turn you into a girl. I had a background with healing before, but I never knew that. How did you find out about that?" asked Wolfram.

"You don't believe me?" asked Gisela, glaring at Wolfram.

"Of course I believe you. It's just I never heard that before. May be I just forgot about it or something." Wolfram denied.

After a long day of preparation for the celebration, they all called it a day and spent dinner together.

"It had been a while since we spent dinner together." Yuuri said.

"You're right, your highness." Conrad replied.

"I miss Greta…" Yuuri said in dismay.

"Don't worry your majesty. According to Lady Celli's letter, they should be arriving by tomorrow morning." Gunter assured.

"But still, I miss my daughter." Yuuri replied.

"You're not the only one who misses her, you know. She's my daughter too." said Wolfram.

"I'm glad that you're fine now, Wolfram." said Conrad.

"Of course I am." Wolfram replied conceitedly.

"Where's your son?" asked Gwendal.

"The maids are upstairs, taking good care of him. Hell, they'll be better babysitters than I'll ever be." answered Wolfram as he took a zip into his drink.

"Even though we have maids, you should learn to take care of your own son." Conrad said.

"And what am I suppose to do? To be some kind of a housewife and spend the rest of my life, taking care of my wimpy husband and child?" Wolfram asked raising his voice.

"I never said that like that Wolfram." Conrad replied.

"Wolfram, don't be temperamental. You're being childish again." said Gwendal.

"Childish? That's because I have a brother like one." replied Wolfram who seems to be taunting to Gwendal.

Yuuri sensed the emotions within the words that Wolfram uttered toward his eldest brother. 'I think this is getting personal. May be I should interfere.'

"Hey guys, it's been a wonderful day and having a good dinner will complete our wonderful day so I guess… Yes! The food! The food. Who cooked this, it's extremely delicious; don't you think so, Wolfram? Gwendal?" he said, trying to change the topic.

"I think you need to cool down, Wolfram, why don't take a zip of your juice." suggested Conrad.

Wolfram took a sigh and took his seat. "So Gwendal, where are we, oh…about having a childish brother. Talk about heredity. Is that why you betrayed her to the last minute? Was it because you are too afraid to be a husband?" Wolfram asked disreputably.

As Gunter heard what Wolfram had said, he choked. As for Gwendal, he stood from his sit and stipulated, "Wolfram, proceed to my office immediately."

"Hey guys, what's up? And what's this husband thing Wolfram's talking about?" asked Yuuri confoundedly. Yuuri didn't receive any answer though.

"It's my pleasure." Wolfram replied to Gwendal. The blond then stood from where he was situated and exited the dining room.

"Conrad," Gwendal motioned for Conrad to follow them out. Conrad did as what Gwendal gestured.

"What's happening? I demand to know what's going on here!" Yuuri insisted before Gwendal could depart the room.

"Gunter, keep his majesty from nosing on our private business." Then Gwendal closed the door.

"Gunter! Tell me what's happening! It's an order!" Yuuri said.

"I am loyal to his highness, but I am also loyal to a promise that I've already made." Gunter replied.

"A promise? What promise?" Yuuri was thrown into a deeper confusion.

"You don't have to know, King Yuuri. It is a family matter." Gunter said.

"I'm a part of that family too! I'm Wolfram's husband." said Yuuri.

"But you are not his brother, your majesty. To be more precise, this is an issue between brothers. Now, your majesty, the food is getting cold. Let's eat." Gunter said, pulling Yuuri's chair and gestured him to sit down. Yuuri followed.

At Gwendal's office,

"Wolfram, you're over-reacting." Gwendal said sternly.

"Over-reacting? I'm not over-reacting!" Wolfram replied.

"We swore to each other to never talk about the past again, and so far no one has broken that promise yet. It will cause great wrangle, or worse, catastrophe if that promise was broken. So don't start now Wolfram." said Conrad.

"I'm not doing anything! This is all Gwendal's fault! If not for him, we wouldn't be in this mess! If it wasn't for him, Black Rose wouldn't have come back from the world of the dead and take revenge! Hence, she wouldn't have died in the first place!" Wolfram said angrily.

"That's enough, Wolfram." Conrad warned.

"What's happening to you, Wolfram? It's as if you've gotten use to being a woman." Said Gwendal

"Wolfram, where is that man? Where is our younger brother? What happened to him?" asked Conrad.

"He had a son." answered Wolfram. Then the blond prince walked out of the office.

"Wolfram, come back here this instant! Wolfram!" Conrad demanded.

"Let him be. May be if we leave him alone, he'd cool down." said Gwendal, as he pulled his chair and sat down.

Then Yozak knocked on the door and let himself in.

"Good Evening, Lord Von Voltaire. I guess you got yourself to a brother's quarrel." Yozak joked.

"What's new? Did you get any new leads?" asked Gwendal.

"Well, one of our soldiers is under mental therapy because according to him, this morning, while he was patrolling the northern part of the castle, he saw Black Rose. He said he tried to run but Black Rose used some kind of magic and caught up with him and before he could even cry for help, Black Rose kissed him in the chick and then he fell unconscious. The other soldiers found him this afternoon, and when they found him, his not his self anymore. I'm not really sure if it was true or a product of his wild imagination, but I'm telling you, your ex is one hot playgirl." Yozak chuckled, and then winked at Lord Von Voltaire.

"That's not very funny, Yozak." Conrad said while covering his smile with the palm of his right hand.

Gwendal frowned. "Anything else?" He asked.

"Nope. That's all." He answered.

"Then you may go." Gwendal said.

"Bye then," Yozak said as he waved goodbye.

"So, what now, Gwendal?" Conrad asked.

Gwendal paused to think, then he said, "Conrad, send your troops and surround the Blood Pledged Castle. Make sure no one gets in and out of the castle from now on until the celebration. As for the visitors who were to attend, check if they have invitations, if they don't then don't let them in. And for the little parade tomorrow of King Yuuri, Wolfram and the baby, there should be about 500 undercover men in that parade. Make Yozak do all the planning for the strategies on the undercover thing, he's an expert after all."

"Of course Gwendal," Conrad replied. "And by the way, I think we should send Wolfram's men to guard every corner of the castle and the Celebration hall. Wolfram handpicked those men himself; they must be elite magic users, with the permission of Wolfram of course." Conrad added.

"Good idea." said Gwendal.

"Gwendal, what do we do with Wolfram? Knowing him, he won't even let us go near him." Conrad worried.

"Then ask his majesty to tell that to Wolfram. May be he won't listen to us, but I'm sure he'll listen to King Yuuri." Gwendal suggested.

"Let's say he will listen to His highness, but what if King Yuuri asks about the issue?" was Conrad's concern.

"Hmmm…" Gwendal paused to think. "Perhaps your right, the only solution to this is to ask The Great Sage's help." Gwendal gave a defeated sigh, as if not wanting to ask this said person to help them.

"That's a great idea Gwendal." Conrad said.

"I'm a strategist, not a fairy godmother." said the Great Sage who has just arrived.

"Your Eminence, why are you here?" Conrad asked.

"I just felt that some thing was up, and I guess I was right." The Great Sage replied.

'Actually, I came here to run off from all the chores that the Shrine Maidens have in stored for me…' He thought.

"So, a little brother's quarrel, I see. Well, I'm telling you, I can't whip up some kind of magic mojo to make angry little brother become loving to his older brothers again like Ulrike does. But I guess I could help with your little problem. I may not be able to use magic but I'll make Wolfram and his big brothers lovie-dubbie again, Earth Style!" He said with determination.

"Thank you, your Eminence." Conrad bowed his head with gratitude.

'Well, at least this is better than scrubbing floors and sweeping the whole Shinou Temple.' Ken Murata thought.
