Chapter 1

Shibuya Yuuri Harajuku Fuuri, 27th Maou of Shinmakoku was still slept peacefully in his bed. Sometime he shifted his position, only to be kicked by his fiancé who slept beside him.

“Mmm…” Yuuri growled in his sleep, still continued sleeping. He had a dream. Not a bad dream, of course, which he never had before. But this night, it was an unusual dream for him. It wasn’t a dream about baseball, which he always had (Wolfram always became his opponent with the final result: he completely lost. Hmph! It might consider as a bad dream for him), and also not a dream about his family, which he hoped for. It was a dream with the woman who was always with him. This was…

“Yuuri,” a soft voice called him.

The black haired boy mumbled in his sleep, refused to open his eyes. This place was warm, soft, comfortable, and somehow safe. He didn’t know why but this pace felt so familiar with him.

“Because it was your dream,” Yuuri heard that voice answered his thought. He felt, not for sure, that this voice was familiar. Soft… and warm. He knew he had heard that voice before. But… when?

“You really have a very peaceful place in your heart,” that voice commented. It sounded that this person knew him well. Who was this person?

Yuuri opened his eyes slowly. He was dazzled by a flash of light, but he still recognized the person before him.

There was only one word to describe her ?blue, with her long blue hair, light blue eyes, and also her gentle smile. She was beautiful, for sure.

She was just like water, Yuuri thought looking at figure before him. And she is beautiful, too. There was no doubt that even Adelbert fell in love with her.

“It has been a long time,” Julia said with a warm smile, woke Yuuri from his thought.

“Ah… yeah… a… It’s nice to meet you, Julia,” Yuuri said, unable to say anything, trailed in his thought. He gave Julia his usual sheepish smile. “Um… I have to thank you anyway. You have helped me before,”

Julia looked at Yuuri in his eyes. “I do nothing,” She replied truthfully. The black haired boy only stared at her, confused. “It was your own power that changed everything. I only show you that you’re not alone. Everyone always depends on you, their maou,”

Yuuri blushed, finding him unable to reply Julia’s explanation. A small smile tugged in her lips upon seeing the boy’s reaction.

“I’m glad that it’s you,” Yuuri snapped his head up, looking at Julia.

“I have a little time. There is something I must tell you about,”

“What is it?” Yuuri asked quickly, feeling uneasy all of sudden. He should have been aware of that before. It’s clear that Julia wouldn’t show up in his dream if nothing happened. It must be something…

“Something is coming,” Julia answered with serious tone. “It will involve Shinmakoku for sure,”

“Shinmakoku? Is it something bad? What will happen?” Yuuri asked impatiently, sweats began forming in his face. “Tell me, Julia,”

Julia shook her head. “I don’t know, either,” She replied. “But you must be careful. Please protect them,” Julia added, her smile turned into a sad smile. “And please… protect him,”
