Title : The Maou’s Brother and the Prince 2/?
Disclaimer : Not mine. Wish they were though.
Summary : Young Shin Makoku Princes. The three brothers weren't happy with their mother's newest lover. Help came from the future ... or did it?
Author’s Note : Repost from my account in fanfiction.net. My first Kyou Kara Maou fanfic ever! Shonen-ai, Shouri/Conrad, Yuuram, slight Gwendal/Günther maybe.
Part 1 What
Shouri didn’t expect when he reached the library was to have a run in with
Gwendal. Usually the prince would be locking himself someplace, mostly in his
study and did whatever needed to be done. Although, Shouri had to admit that
library was one of the place people would think as a place to study, he still
didn’t want to see Gwendal when it wasn’t necessary.
“What are you doing here?” the
prince asked, glaring.
“Conrad is with Prince von
Bielefeld. Putting him to sleep I think.”
“Hn.” This time, Gwendal chose not
to let it slip. “Why are you calling Conrad by his first name?”
Shouri looked at him in a calm
manner, as much as he could. Although Gwendal looked younger, Shouri knew
better than to let that fool him. Young or not, Gwendal was a strong man.
“Because I’m supposed to be his cousin. I think it would be weird if I called
him by his last name or with any honorific.”
Gwendal seemed to ponder his answer
then nodded. “That’s true, but … I don’t trust you. Don’t give me any reason to
make you leave.”
“If I were in your place, I wouldn’t
trust me either.” Shouri let a smirk on his face when he saw Gwendal raised his
eyebrow. “I don’t want to be here, because this is not my place, but I am here.
I don’t want to create any trouble here for anyone.”
“Conrad said Shinou-heika said
something about you helping us. What does that mean?”
“Honestly, I don’t know. He wasn’t
very specific about it when he told me.” Actually, Shinou said something about
helping him instead of helping Shin Makoku, but if that’s what Conrad told his
brother, he’s fine with it.
“We don’t need help.”
“Apparently, Shinou disagrees.” Shouri
still tried to remain calm although he could feel a slight tremor under his
feet. He believed Gwendal had something to do with that considering his glare
seemed to intensify.
“I already have enough problem with
that sorry excuse of a lord. I don’t need-”
“Aniue …”
The two man turned to look at the
source of the voice. It was Conrad. Gwendal cleared his throat. “I mean what I
said, Shouri-san.”
“As do I.”
Gwendal passed another glare at him
then stormed his way out of the room.
*****
That night as Shouri laid on the bed
prepared for him, Shinou’s voice invaded his mind. “So, how was your day?”
“Get lost.”
“Tsk, I thought you would ask me
about the help thing.”
Shouri clenched his fist. “If you
want to explain, I won’t stop you.”
Shouri pictured the smirk Shinou no
doubt had on his face, with amusement dripping from his tone. “That Lord
Garland young Weller told you about. You saw him at dinner. What was your
impression of him?”
“I cannot say that I like him.”
Shouri said. “He seemed to me like a shady character.”
“You’re right. Prince von Voltaire
has tried all he could to check his background, but he could not find anything.”
“He said he was a trader and he
travelled around a lot, although I don’t think that explains it. I thought they
don’t have good relation with humans.” Shouri frowned.
“They don’t. Prince von Voltaire
has, ah, his own sources.”
“Is he trying to stop the Maou’s
wedding?”
“That’s what I want you to help them
with. I honestly don’t care about him being human. I didn’t help him stop her
wedding with Dan Hiri Weller, but I’m not going to let someone whose past is
unknown to become the Maou’s husband.”
Shouri nodded his head. “Well, if
that’s what it takes to help me get back home, I’ll do it. Although, I have to
say that it’s strange to see, uh, hear you act like a king.”
Shinou’s laugh echoed in his head.
“I’ll try to find what I can about
Lord Garland. I don’t think he can hide everything. Whatever it is, I’ll find
it.”
“If you can’t, make sure that the
wedding is at least postponed.”
“I understand. Do me a favour
though. Stop invading my thoughts!”
“Ah, but, like I said, I’m bored. There
are interesting things here, Shibuya-san. Just make sure you don’t jump on
Weller here. I don’t think you’d like the outcome.”
Shouri glared, but then decided it
was useless since Shinou would not care anyway. “I’m not a pervert!”
“Nobody said you are. Well, have a
good night sleep then. I’ll talk to you again soon.”
Shouri didn’t like the sound of it.

Notes :
Heika -> Your Majesty
Chicchai aniue -> Little Big Brother (the way
Wolfram used to call Conrad)
