Part: 2
>>*<<*>>*<<
>>*<<*>>*<<
I never though I would live to see the day when I would actually die.
It's impossible to live to see the day that you would die if you're dead, and I am dead, right?
Gwendal doesn't lie, so it must be true. I'm dead.
An assassin broke into the castle, found me laying sound asleep in bed, and killed me. But how?
I stare at the body, my body, laying on the bed and think. My hair has been brushed so that every tendril of black silk is neatly in place. My eyes are closed and my face is relaxed as if I am asleep and dreaming.
{Am I dreaming?}
I look so peaceful laying there; as if I am waiting for prince charming to come breath new life into me with a kiss. If my skin was more pale, I might resemble Snow White during that famous scene. I don't see any injuries to my body at all! Maybe it was poison...?
Gunter is the one responsible for this. He would never allow me to look less than perfect for my funeral, and it isn't because I'm the king of Shin Makoku. It's because he considers me his friend. His heart would never allow him to do otherwise.
I mentally thank Gunter for taking the time to prepare my body for my funeral before hearing a scream that rivals the one I let out earlier. It breaks my heart and my eyes well with fresh tears.
Wolfram.
Gwendal just told him the news and now his heart is breaking and he is mourning the loss of his wimp.
{Pull yourself together and stop wailing, Wolfram. If you don't, I'll never be able to cross over and find out what's waiting for me on the other side. Besides, your cry is just too heart breaking for me to bare. Please! Stop!}
My plea falls on deaf ears. The heart wrenching sound that is Wolfram mourning the loss of his wimp only gets louder and makes my heart ache.
I want to go to him. Comfort him. Tell him that I'm alright. I'm not hurting or suffering in any way.
It isn't true. Finding out that you're dead and that you're a spirit, ghost, apparition, or whatever you want to call it, is a huge shock. There's no physical pain, but there's a lot of emotional pain and mental anguish.
I want to tell Wolfram that, but all I can do is stand here... Uhm.. levitate? ... and listen to him cry.
It's a terrible feeling.
{Wolfram. Everyone. I'm sorry I died and left you all behind. I didn't mean to. I guess I really am a wimp after all.}
I apologize sincerely to the blond bishonen who became my fiancé because of a cultural misunderstanding and the rest of our family and friends.
I would return to my body and re-join the land of the living if I had a choice in the matter. As it is, what happens to my soul now is out of my hands.
I hang my head and start to cry.
Ghosts can't cry.
Whoever believes that has obviously never been a ghost before.
Ghosts can cry. If it's because they miss their family and friends, ghosts can cry.
I am living proof! Err... Living....
Right. Wolfram.

"No amount of tears will bring His Majesty back. Pick yourself up off the floor and stop crying."
No amount of tears will bring His Majesty back.
If tears could bring His Majesty back, His Majesty would be working alongside Gwendal in the office. Or in the courtyard, playing catch with Conrad.
He would be in class, listening to Gunter ramble on about the history of Great Demon Kingdom. Or in the library reading to his daughter.
If tears could bring His Majesty back, His Majesty would be running through the corridors, trying to sneak out unbeknownst to his accidental fiancé to spend time in the capital.
Wolfram would find out about His Majesty's escapade and chase him through the corridors, his sword drawn, trying to stop him.
If tears could bring His Majesty back....
Gunter tries to help Wolfram pull himself together and help him up off the floor where he went into shock and fell upon hearing the news about His Majesty, but the advisor to the king has his work cut out for him. All Wolfram can do is sit there and cling to him as he mourns the loss of his beloved wimp.
"I'll travel to the Temple of Shinou."
Wolfram announces determinedly.
"You can't do that."
Gunter says emphatically.
"Why?"
Wolfram asks, incredulous.
"The Shinou no longer possesses the maryoku to perform such a task."
Gunter reminds him evenly. There is a hint of pity in his voice for the Shinou.
"Then Sara!"
Wolfram cries desperately.
"Unfortunately, it would take too long for him to get here. It's only been a day and already His Majesty's body has started to deteriorate. By the time Sara arrived -"
"Urhg!!"
Wolfram drops his head into his hand and cries in frustration.
"Wolfram..."
Gunter watches him with tired eyes and whispers his name.
"All I want is for Yuuri to come back to us. Why do you keep trying to stop me?"
Wolfram asks tearfully, dejectedly.
Gunter looks at him and frowns. He isn't trying to discourage him. More than anything, he wants His Majesty to return. But he knows that isn't possible.
"Do you remember when you were little and Gwendal had that pet turtle and it died? Do you remember what Gwendal told you?"
Gunter asks. His voice is a little restrained.
Wolfram nodded.
"He told me that it was okay to get upset and cry, but then I had to stop being selfish and think of the turtle or else it could never cross over and be happy. But..."
Wolfram wipes away his tears with the backs of his hands.
"... it's too soon!"
"Take the time to grieve, Wolfram, then stop being selfish and think about His Majesty. If you don't stop crying, he'll never be able to cross over and be happy."
Gunter's words are harsh, but they are as much for Wolfram's benefit as they are for his. He doesn't want to be selfish and to get in the way of His Majesty's happiness.
Wolfram growls and buries his face in Gunter's chest, mourning the loss of his wimp once more.
{Wolfram.}
