Chapter 2

“Him?” Yuuri repeated, confused. “Is he Adelbert? Or Conrad? Who is him? What should I do?”

“Someone you know well and always be with you,” Julia answered with a soft voice like whisper. “The one beside you…”

Yuuri couldn’t hear what Julia was going to say because his dream was ended in Wolfram kicking him out of the bed again.

“Wolfram…” Yuuri growled. “Why do you always kick me out of my bed every morning? Don’t you have another way to wake me up ore gently?”

Wolfram only snored. “Aakh… you always annoyed me all the time,” Yuuri said, rubbed his head, frustrated.

“Good morning, heika,” Conrad greeted him with his usual warm smile. “Are you ready for morning training?”

“Morning, Conrad,” Yuuri replied. “I’ll ready soon,”

Seeing Conrad smile like a signal for him to begin his new day, after Wolfram’s kick, of course.

“Do you know, Wolfram kicked me out again this morning,” Yuuri reported as he walked toward Conrad. “I think he is stronger when he is sleeping, you know?”

Conrad only nodded and gave Yuuri his other warm smile before closing the door behind him.

As soon the door closed, Wolfram opened his eyes. He shifted into sitting position and looked at the door, which Conrad had closed before.

Something will happen…

Wolfram walked toward the empty corridor of Blood Pledge Castle. He sighed, hoping to find a sign of his brothers. In fact, neither of his brothers was in there. They had to be somewhere, talking about their stupid business.

Damn, walking around Blood Pledge Castle wasn’t something easy to do, you know? He was getting annoyed of this nonsense. Why should he find them anyway? He wasn’t playing hide and seek, was he? So, why?

He didn’t have to do it in first place. To do something like that wasn’t his personality. He should…

“Are you sure about this?” Wolfram heard the voice of his brothers, asked. He hid his presence after noticing the serious tone in his voice. It must be something serious, he thought.

“I’m sure,” the second voice that was Conrad’s replied. “The problem is more serious than it was reported. And even bigger than that. We have solved it, but…”

“What is it?” Gwendal demanded.

“I think that someone has interfered before we solve the problem or even before that,” Conrad reported. “I’ve already ordered Yozak to check it,”

“Fine. We will hold the meeting soon, inform Yozak to finish his task before that,” Gwendal commanded in low voice. “Do the kids know about it?”

From his position, Wolfram could see Conrad slowly nodded.

“Heika and Geika are well aware about it,” he explained. “Maybe they have just informed about it by now,”

Wolfram clenched is fists upon hearing that. How could the wip know something that he didn’t know? How could his brothers not tell him before? Were Yuuri more qualified than him? He knew that Yuuri was the Maou, but still…

“What about Wolfram? No one has informed him yet,” Conrad asked, made Wolfram clench his fists more tightly, instead of keeping himself hidden from his brothers.

“Let him. He will know when the meeting is hold,”
