Chapter One

Wolfram Von Bielfield gazed down at his daughter、 curled up and sound asleep by his side. Placing a bookmark in Greta's book, he silently closed it and set it on the bedside table. He reached his hand down and brushed Greta's hair away from her face, bending down to give his daughter a small kiss.

"Sleep well Greta," Wolfram murmured, pulling the blankets to her chin. Wolfram stood up, quietly leaving his daughter's room after waving the candles out.

The blonde prince made his way to Gunter's office where a pile of paperwork was waiting for him. Wolfram's responsibilities had increased greatly due to his engagement to the Demon King. Wolfram never thought the extra work a nuisance but rather took it with honor. Gunter acted as guidance until Wolfram was completely confident with his new responsibilities. However, Gunter seemed to be absent from his office. So Wolfram sorted through the piles and selected documents regarding his soldiers he was responsible for at the castle and also documents concerning the Bielfield district. He was used to dealing with those.

As Wolfram sat down to read through his paperwork, he counted the days that had passed since the Maou had last been in the country. Almost three months. Wolfram was glad, almost overjoyed that Yuuri's last visit to Shin Makoku had been longer than usual. However, the longer Yuuri stayed in Shin Makoku, the more paperwork piled up on Wolfram's desk. This was because Wolfram chose to neglect his paperwork to stick by Yuuri's side whenever he was off duty. When Yuuri was home, Wolfram wanted to be in bed before Yuuri got there so Yuuri wouldn't be alone when he returned to his room for the night. Since nobody could tell exactly when the Maou may return to the country next, Wolfram had to work through as much of his paperwork as he possibly could while he had the opportunity. He also doubled his patrol duties when Yuuri wasn't in the country to make up for the time he didn't patrol when Yuuri was in Shin Makoku.

Wolfram spent the following several hours pouring over numerous documents. Gunter had also returned to his office at some point and wasted no time before diving into his infamous lectures. Wolfram glanced at the 'done pile' and the 'needs-to-be-done pile' on his desk. Although there was still a considerable amount left, Wolfram was satisfied enough to lay down his quill and call it a day.

As always, Gunter followed the prince down the hallways to where Yuuri's room was, trying desperately to persuade Wolfram to sleep elsewhere.

"Gunter, I'm engaged to Yuuri," Wolfram sighed, opening the bedroom door. "Good night Gunter." Then, ignoring Gunter's protests Wolfram closed the door heavily behind him.

Wolfram changed out of his uniform, climbing inside the large bed. He stared at the empty spot Yuuri would usually occupy then closed his eyes. He wished he could always be by Yuuri's side. He wished he could spend every night sleeping with his fiancé. He wished he could somehow make his way into Yuuri's heart…

"You really love Yuuri that much?"

Wolfram heard a voice, but couldn't quite recognize who it belonged to. Of course he loved Yuuri very much.

"How much do you want this? How much are you prepared and willing to give?"

Anything…Everything…

"I see…Then I shall grant your wish…"

Wolfram snapped his eyes open. "Was that…a dream?"

OoOoOo

"To our victory!" Shibuya Yuuri, Demon King and also baseball team captain was standing with a raised glass of orange juice.

Members of his baseball team and Murata Ken, the team manager also raised their glasses to celebrate their first victory.

"To our victory!"

Yuuri took a swig of his orange juice, raised a fist in glee then sat down in his seat.

"Congratulations Shibuya!" Murata said, smiling and clapping a hand on his friends shoulder.

"Thanks Murata! Yeah, well done guys! Aah that was a good game!" Yuuri replied as he took a bite from his hamburger. "Mmm! Really gives me that push to train even harder so we can win again! Right guys?"

His team members all grinned and nodded as they munched on their feast of hamburgers and fries.

"Shibuya-san!"

Suddenly, Yuuri heard someone call his name and turned around in his seat to find two girls walking toward him.

"We just wanted to congratulate you!" one of the girls said, giving Yuuri her best smile as she batted her long eyelashes, most probably fake eyelashes. "We were cheering really hard!"

"For us?" Yuuri asked, overwhelmed. "Thanks so much! I hope you'll keep supporting our team!"

"Oh of course!" the girls chorused.

Murata sat quietly, observing the heated conversation his friend was having with the two girls. It was obvious that these girls were flirting with him and Yuuri wasn't trying to hide the fact he enjoyed the attention.

"Come and join our party! It's so nice to have some girls to join us for a change!"

"Really? Thanks!" the two girls giggled happily.

"Oh, but don't you have a girlfriend or something?" the girl with the ong eyelashes said in a small voice, as she and her friend pulled up chairs to join them at the table.

"I-" Yuuri hesitated. He didn't want to spoil his chances by saying he was actually engaged already. And that the engagement was in fact to a man… 'But, well, the engagement was by accident. Sooner or later everyone would just forget about this whole engagement thing anyway, right? Why does everyone take it so seriously anyway?' Yuuri had just won his first baseball match and it was also his first time having two girls taking interest in him. Yuuri emptied his orange juice in one gulp and grinned at the girls. "Nope! I'm a lonely, single man!"

Murata stared at his friend. Should he get his hearing checked? Did Yuuri really just say that? Murata let out a sigh and whispered to himself, "Von Bielfield-kyo, I'm sorry but I admit you're right…You're fiancé is a cheater…"

Later on as the sun was setting and the sky was getting dark, Yuuri and Murata were heading back to the Shibuya House together.

"Hey Murata?" Yuuri was saying excitedly. "Did you see those girls?"

"Uhuh..."

"I think they were hitting on me!" Yuuri continued.

"Uhuh…"

"No, I'm sure they were hitting on me! We exchanged phone numbers and everything! We even made plans to go karaoke this Sunday. Oh, you're invited too by the way of course."

Murata nodded absently, staring straight ahead as he kept walking and Yuuri kept babbling.

"Spring has come at last! I knew all these years of singledom would be worth it! I mean, both of the girls were actually quite cute, although they were just slightly plain-looking. Aah, what am I saying? I didn't mean that maybe. I mean, they aren't plain but…I guess I'm just getting way too used to seeing those unearthly beautiful Mazoku hanging around me all the time."

"Who are you talking about exactly?" Murata asked.

"You know, all of them!" Yuuri huffed. "Firstly, Celi-sama goes without saying. Gunter and Gizela and Annisina as well. But I guess Wolfram would be the winner."

Murata turned to look straight into Yuuri's eyes. "Oh, and you aren't at all happy that you're engaged to the most unearthly beautiful Demon Prince in the Universe?"

"I never said he's that pretty…" Yuuri protested, feeling uncomfortable under Murata's unblinking gaze.

"You don't think so?" Murata said after an awkward silence, shifting his eyes back to staring ahead.

"Well…aah…I don't not agree…" Yuuri mumbled. "But yeah, I'm not at all happy about the engagement actually, if you hadn't noticed. Murata listen, however good looking Wolfram is, he-is-a-guy! You wouldn't understand how I feel."

And just as Yuuri regretfully choked his final words out they arrived at his home and the Maou banged open the front door. Murata sighed again and followed his friend inside, heading straight for the bathroom. After all, Yuuri had promised to return to Shin Makoku after the baseball game was over. Murata also had a bad feeling crawling inside his stomach. He had to get back to Shin Makoku.

OoOoOoOo

"Heika, Geika. Welcome back," Conrad greeted, handing a towel to each Yuuri and Murata who were both climbing out of the fountain outside the Great Temple. "How did your game go?"

"Heh, great," Yuuri replied without even looking at Conrad's face. He couldn't even be bothered to correct Conrad for calling him 'Heika'.

"You didn't win?" Conrad asked, judging from the annoyed expression on Yuuri's face.

"No," Yuuri said as he walked straight passed Conrad towards his horse. "We won."

"Oh," Conrad gave a weak smile. "Eh, congratulations…"

"Aah! Weller-kyo," Murata said, giving Conrad an apologetic smile. "Sorry, you see, I kind of pissed Shibuya off a bit before we left Earth, ahaha…"

"Oh, I see," Conrad glanced over at Yuuri who was greeting Ulrike. "Aah, and look, here comes Wolfram. Maybe he'll be able to cheer Yuuri up."

Just as Conrad had pointed out, the blonde prince on his white steed was galloping toward them, his emerald eyes glowing with joy.

"Wait, actually! Maybe not such a good idea to-" Murata couldn't finish his sentence as the blonde arrived and all but tried to give his fiancé a 'welcome home hug'.

"Get off me!" Yuuri shouted and glared at Wolfram.

"Y-Yuuri? What's wrong?" Wolfram asked, taking a step back. The smile that had been on the blonds face was now turned into a uncertain frown as Yuuri shoved him out of the way to mount his horse. "Yuuri, wait!"

Yuuri stared down at his fiancé's determined eyes and gritted his teeth.

"Because of our lovely engagement, I can't even enjoy a little attention from girls without the Great Sage there having to give me a little talking to!" Yuuri said, gripping his reins so tightly his knuckles turned white. He couldn't take any more of this. He needed to just end it. Yuuri took a deep breath. "Wolfram, do you remember what you said back then when I slapped you?"

Wolfram nodded his head. "I do."

"You said you had never been so dishonored in your whole life. Well, guess what? Me too! I've never felt so disgusted with myself, being engaged to a man and spending every night sharing a bed with a man and having an entire country think that I'm homosexual!" Then Yuuri took off.

Nobody dared to speak a word as they watched the Maou gallop off. However, Conrad didn't miss a solitary tear slide down his brother's pale cheek before Wolfram quickly wiped it away with his sleeve.

Wolfram gulped down the tight knot that was in his throat. His heart ached so badly he just wanted to crumple to the ground and disappear. But he needed to face this. So, without a word Wolfram quickly jumped back into his saddle and took off after his fiancé. Conrad and Murata also wasted no time to chase after them.

Oh Shinou…what's happening this time?
