The atmosphere in the dining room was awkward after Amara had left and everyone decided it was best to just finish their meal quietly. Wolfram was anxious to dismiss himself right after she left. He wanted to know more about her, but decided to wait until everyone finished eating. Lady Cheri was a little uncomfortable herself and the sage didn't miss her expression. He believed that Lady Cheri asked more about Amara for some reason, but what? Did the ex-queen knew something about Amara that she wanted to keep it to herself. Maybe it's a sage's gut telling him there was more to this interaction…

After everyone left the dining room, Wolfram quickly headed to Amara's room but first needed to make a quick stopped in a particular room.

Amara was packing what little she had with her. After all, they had giving her only to stay the night and the maids where thoughtful as to take care of her dirty laundry. As she started placing some of her shirts inside her bag a small piece paper fell out of her bag and fell on the ground. She noticed this and quickly bent down to pick the paper up. She just glanced at the paper and a small smile appeared in her face. She was about to unfold the paper when…

­knock! knock!

She stood up from the position she was in and soon headed to the door while placing her note on the desk next to her bed. As she slightly opened the door, she was not surprise to find Wolfram on the other side.

"Sir von Bielefeld. What a surprise." She said with glee in her voice.

"I'm sorry to have disturb you at this hour" Wolfram said as he bowed out of respect

"Oh no, not at all, please come in..." Amara said as she opened the door fully and motion Wolfram to enter her room. As soon as Wolfram entered she quickly closed the door. She didn't want any gossiping to start. At least not now

Wolfram was glancing around the room. The room was like any other guestroom; a queen size bed with off white color silk sheets, a floral arrangement in one of the nightstands, a small round table to have tea when with guests with two chairs, a wardrobe on one of the corners, and of course a beautiful view to the courtyard. As he heard the door closed, he turned to where Amara was standing and Amara just smiled as she signaled Wolfram to take a sit. "Please do sit down" she said. Wolfram did as was told and sat on one of the chairs and Amara took the other facing each other.

"May I ask what this is about?" Amara asked.

Wolfram blushed as he cleared his throat, "I just wanted to apologize for my mother's behavior earlier tonight" at this she raised her eyebrow in amusement. Well this is interesting, she thought to herself as Wolfram decided to continue. "And was wondering if you would like to stay a little longer in the castle" Wolfram determinedly asked her as he look straight at her.

"I would love to…but unfortunately, Sir Voltaire only decided to let me stay the night" She responded as she chuckled.

"About that" Wolfram said, "I spoke to him before coming to see you and he said you could stay longer… if you want that is" Wolfram finish saying.

"Really?" She innocently asked and at this Wolfram couldn't do anything but blush and just nodded as a response.

"Thank you" She said with a smile.

Wolfram stood up from where he was and headed towards the window, "You have a beautiful view to the courtyard" he mentioned as he glanced outside. "I think so too" she responded.

Amara stood up from where she was and headed to where Wolfram had stopped. Somehow Wolfram felt connected with Amara just by being near her and words didn't seem to matter.

"Beautiful night huh" she mentioned.

"Yeah" Wolfram responded

From where they stood they were able to see a clear view of the night. The bright stars and the shinning moon that illuminated the courtyard, to the fireflies that with their radiance made the pond glisten and at that she smiled.

"Where you aware Sir von Bielefeld, that the season of the fireflies here in Shin Makoku is every ten years or so?" She asked him as she now had her eyes set on the fireflies.

Wolfram glanced to where the fireflies where as he responded, "Yes, when Julia von Wincott was my teacher, she often told me that Shin Makoku was very fortunate to have the fireflies brighten our skies every so often."

"She is a very bright teacher" Amara replied.

Wolfram frowned as he looked up to the sky. "She passed away a few years ago…"

She turned towards him, "I'm sorry to hear that…" she whispered. Amara faced outside once again. Somehow the environment had changed and this new information would explain why she didn't sense Julia's aura. It felt like ages now because it was quiet and neither of them liked it and Amara decided to break the silence.

"Was there anything else she mentioned about them…you know the fireflies?" she curiously asked as she now faced him.

Wolfram just glanced at her and shook his head. He was young and didn't pay much attention to some of the lessons he had considered 'dull', but of course he wasn't going to tell her that.

At this she giggled, "You don't seem to be interested in them yourself" she turned back to the window as she continued speaking, "But you see fireflies are very fascinating and beautiful creatures." As she finish speaking, a few of the fireflies passed by the window. Wolfram noticed that the fireflies seem to be dancing near the window but decided not to say anything. Maybe he was tire and his eyes were playing tricks on him. Amara glanced towards Wolfram and smiled, "It seems they are dancing for you Wolfram…" As he heard this a small smile appeared on his face forgetting whom he was with. Amara just observed him, that's the smile I know she said to herself.

Amara then headed to her balcony and Wolfram followed. She opened the doors, when a gust of wind came in and with it some fireflies. "Aren't they beautiful!" She praised and had a genuine smiled in her face as she watched the fireflies dance around Wolfram. Wolfram at that moment looked care-free and smiled as he replied, "Yeah they are".

"I'm glad" she whispered to herself as she watched Wolfram and the fireflies. I want you to be happy Wolfram. She watched as Wolfram followed the fireflies out the balcony or should I say, as the fireflies guided him out. Once outside he noticed that this night above all nights was somehow special. A beautiful night and the fireflies dancing around seemed to make the night even better. Amara followed quietly behind him. If anyone would have come and saw Wolfram right now they would describe him as a child watching and waiting for something exciting to appear.

"Fireflies represent hope and guidance" She said as she extended her index finger out as a signal for a firefly to land there. Wolfram turned to look at her, "Really?" She smiled and nodded as they both saw a firefly land in her finger. As she was looking at the firefly she whispered, "Don't lose hope Wolfram…" and as she said this the firefly decided to fly off as she decided to head inside leaving a stunt Wolfram behind.

"W-what?" he whispered. What did she mean by that? The more he was around her; the more it felt she knew so much about him. He decided to stay out just a few seconds more to digest this when a firefly landed on his nose. It felt more like a sign. Wolfram looked at it and just smiled. Hope huh… he chuckled as he thought this and headed back inside as the firefly decided to fly off.

Once inside he noticed Amara standing near the table they were at the beginning with a folded paper in her hand. He decided to head towards her and the closer he got the more familiar the paper looked. In fact, it looked like one of the pages from the book he found.

Amara as distracted as she was soon felt him observing her and decided to place the note down.

"Well Lord von Bielefeld…" she was cut off with a fake yawn "as much as I would love to continue to talk with you, I need to excuse myself. I'm really tired" and headed to open the door. Wolfram just followed and stop next to her.

"Wolfram" he whispered as he headed out her room

"I'm sorry, what?" she questioned

Wolfram smirked and as looked straight in her eyes he repeated, "Call me Wolfram."

At this Amara smiled and as she was closing her door she teasingly responded, "Goodnight Wolfram"

"Night Amara" he uttered and headed off the opposite direction.

"My oh my" Murata said with amusement as he watched the last few words being exchanged between the two.

"If I were you Shibuya I would be more careful or next thing you know you'll be left without a fiancé" and as he mentioned this he patted his friends shoulder knowing very well that as soon as Yuuri saw Wolfram coming out of HER room his hands where right away fisted and all one needed was for Yuuri to go all Maou right now.

"Things are getting more interesting, Shu" Shu said with excitement as she watched from the pond. Chu just nodded.

They soon turned to look behind them when they heard some bushes rustling and saw their friend wearing a black cloak covering from head to toe come out.

Chu and Shu flew towards their friend and glomped.

"Kya!!!!! We missed you!" They mentioned in excitement. Their friends just chuckled, "I missed you too my little friends."

"So what now Chu? Wolfram is warming up to Amara, but it seems he can't really remember. And to make things worse…Julia is dead." He pouted as he finished his analogy while going around in circles.

She only sighed and headed to the pond, "I know…" She whispered

Shu flew next to her and looked down to the pond and pouted as she saw that their friend's reflection wasn't showing.

She looked up to the sky and saw the stars shining as she spoke, "The fireflies will soon leave Shin Makoku, and with that Wolfram's wish… " She sighed in frustration as with her hands removed her hood and looked down to the pond. A small smiled adorned her face and as Shu and Chu looked at her reflection, they too smile.

"Ne… Amara… Do you still love Wolfram, Shu?" Shu asked as she looked up to see her expression.

Amara started to laugh as she placed her hands behind her back and with a smile responded, "Always... and because of that I want him to be happy, even if it's with Yuuri Shibuya. I mean I really don't know what he looks in him. The Maou is a wimp and…" she stopped to giggle " I know... that now he regrets inviting me in even if he won't mention anything . He's too kind and caring to everyone, but Wolf!, and THAT'S what irritates me the most" and as she said this she placed her hood back on and started heading off.

"Amara wait!, Chu" Chu said as he rushed to where she stopped.

"Hmmmm?" She responded

"Remember, Chu… Amara is Amara and you are you and if they say your name you won't be…" Chu was cut off " able to grant Wolf's wish" Amara finish the statement and as she extended her hand a gust of wind came by and with a blink of an eye she was gone.

Shu sighed and Chu turned to look at her, "What's wrong, Chu?" he asked.

Chu turned to look at Shu, "Shu saw that her reflection wasn't showing" Shu said worriedly

Chu just widen his eyes in surprise, "And lady Cheri asked a lot about Amara during the evening…"

"So that can only mean, that Lady Cheri might still remember…" Chu finish and Shu just nodded in agreement.
