Theme/Prompt being used: The Ultimate Challenge
Yuuri was here, finally, and the next task was to introduce the king to his castle and court. It would, in many ways, be more difficult than finding him had been, or explaining that he was a demon king.
As the castle came into view, Conrad could feel his new king grip his waist a little tighter in anticipation. Gunter had just suggested that Yuuri should enter the castle gate on his own horse to make a good impression, and that somehow seemed to be the statement that triggered Yuuri’s nerves.
‘Wake up now, wake up!’ He swore he could almost hear the boy’s thoughts in his own head, the fingers clutching to his uniform jacket serving as some sort of connection between them.
“There’s nothing to fear, Heika.” He assured, glancing back at the black hair leaning close. Black, uncertain eyes looked up at him, and his mouth parted in surprise when he recognized the same look Yuuri had given him last night.
“Have we met before?”
“You’ll be close by?” He asked this time, and Conrad was grateful that it was a question he could answer truthfully.
“I’ll be beside you the whole time,” he promised.
“Okay.”
Perhaps it was only imagined, but Conrad liked to believe that tight grip relaxed then, just a bit.
