Well, I've started this story, of how my dear, loveable, wonderful Yozak! Got together with well, Conrart! Hoping it ain't too long, but it ain't too short! So I'll see what happens!
I haven't seen a lot of the episodes, so I don't know a lot of the anime, so if some things are wrong, please do tell me, so I can arrange my next chapters!
This chapter may not have a lot on them, but that is because I need to set in the story! So yeah, so don't discourage this, please wait, next chapter will, probably have something!
Also, on another note, I love Gwendal, and since I have no idea what happened to his father and stuff, and if anyone does know, please tell me! anyways, I used him because he also needs more of a spotlight, so yeah… but anyways, it may seem he is the main character, but he ain't, it is Yozak! Also, other pairings may bloom...So just to clear that up!
Summary: When a childhood friend comes, who will you choose? Your best friend now or your best friend then? Would you agree for loyalty, or would you refuse for love? What would it be?
Pairings: Conrart/Yozak, Yuuri/Wolfram, Gunter/Gwendal
Loving Loyalty
"You wimp!" Wolfram screeched as he threw a book at Yuuri. Yuuri raised his hands up, defensively, before ducking down.
"Wolfram! I haven't been around anyone except Gunter the whole day!"
"What! With Gunter!" Wolfram turned bright red.
Yuuri gulped, and scratched his head nervously, figuring that that had been the wrong thing to say.
"How could you!" Wolfram growled, a fire ball forming in his hand.
"Wolfram, calm down. You know there is nothing between Gunter and me. You are just being paranoid."
"Oh, am I, now?" Wolfram glared moving towards Yuuri.
"Yes! You always take things out of proportion!" Yuuri snapped, tired of Wolfram's ranting.
"May be if you didn't give me a reason to doubt you."
"Doubt me? We are not in a relationship at all so cheating doesn't apply!" Yuuri screamed out. Pain flashed in Wolfram's eyes, but it left as fast as it came.
"Fine, Yuuri. You are right." Wolfram spoke coolly.
"Huh?" Yuuri blinked confused at the way Wolfram was reacting, he would think Wolfram would have burned him by now.
"This whole marriage thing is absurd. You said it yourself; it was an accident after all." Wolfram glared at Yuuri, before turning away from him.
"Wolfram, I didn't mean it like that." Yuuri winced, because he, himself, wasn't quite sure what he meant. He was so young, and Wolfram never made it easy on him.
"What! Easy!" Wolfram whirled around and glared at Yuuri. Yuuri paled, had he say that aloud? It seemed so because Wolfram was furious.
"Make it easy on you? What about me? How long have we been engaged! Huh!" Wolfram screamed out. Yuuri knew this was tricky ground.
"Don't you think it is too early to talk about this?" Yuuri tried to ease his way out of the argument.
"Too early? Too early!" Wolfram was turning purple.
Yuuri began to sweat profusely. He had been hoping to avoid the whole subject for at least another five years, but recently, Wolfram had been very moody.
"Heika?" Wolfram reverted back to being formal, but the anger could still be heard.
Yuuri laughed nervously, praying and hoping someone would come in and get him out of the situation.
"Heika!" his savior came in the form of a very panicky Gunter.
"What now?" Wolfram snapped, angry at the interruption.
"Oh! Von Bielefid! Thank God you are here too!" Gunter exclaimed.
Yuuri frowned as he stepped up next to Wolfram.
"What happened?"
"It is awful, Wolfram! Your soldiers!" Gunter wasn't finished before Wolfram took out of the room.
"Wait!" Yuuri ran off after him, being followed by Gunter.

"Now, now, my love. We are home and we can finally rest." Yozak cooed, running his hand through soft silky black hair.
"Don't fret, now. I'll give you a nice rub down and than we both can get some rest. What do you think?" Yozak smiled as he guided his steed over to the stable.
"I believe I may need a vacation. Also, you are getting old, love." Yozak frowned as he grabbed the brush and began to brush the steed's hair.
The steed snorted and shook his head, indignant about being called old. Yozak chuckled and kneeled down, brushing down the steed's legs.
"I'm sorry, love. I can't risk you." Yozak scowled the horse, waving the brush warningly at the steed. The steed snorted and nudged his head against Yozak's head. Yozak laughed and rubbed the steed's head.
"Don't you worry, love. You'll always be my true love; we've been together since I can remember!" Yozak shook his head and laughed as the horse licked his face.
"I believe Conrart would love to know about this." Yozak turned his head to the side and held the steed's head.
"Your highness!" Yozak grinned. Murata smiled, eyes twinkling with amusement.
"I believe Conrart and I will need to have a talk, don't you?" Murata grinned as Yozak gasped dramatically.
"Oh no! Your highness! Please don't! I'll do anything!" Yozak cried out in mock anguish.
"Anything? Anything at all?" Murata raised an eyebrow.
"Why yes, Geika. Anything you wish." Yozak purred, standing up.
"How can I refuse such an offer?" Murata grinned mischievously. Yozak fluttered his eye lashes, lacing an arm around Murata's neck.
"Not in front of my steed, Geika."
"Wouldn't dream of it, for I can see he is the jealous type." Murata mused, teasingly.
"You betcha." Yozak laughed, stepping away from Murata and going back to his horse.
"What brings you here, Geika, besides spending time with me of course?" Yozak inquired.
"Oh, well I was planning on going out for a ride." Murata explained as he watched Yozak lead the steed to the bucket of water.
"Well, I would offer myself."
"I know you would."
"BUT, my steed and I just came back from a very tiring journey." Yozak grinned.
Murata was going to respond but a commotion was heard.
"You hear that?" Murata turned around and went outside. Yozak quickly caught up as they made their way over to the castle.
"Hey! What happened?" Yozak called out, immediately noticing the uniform of Wolfram's soldiers.
The soldiers stopped and turned around.
"Your highness." They bowed noticing Murata, who just smiled. Yozak strode over towards the soldier that was being carried.
"What happened? Has von Bielefid been informed?" Yozak inquired.
"We've been ordered to take him to Giesela." One of the soldiers spoke up. Yozak nodded as he slung the soldier's right arm over his shoulder, helping him up.
"Let's hurry up than, because I also need to report to my boss."

"Kura! What happened!" Wolfram snapped as he made his way down the stairs, immediately noticing his soldiers. Conrart and Gwendal frowned as they noticed the state of the soldier.
"Sorry sir, it was an ambush, sir." Another soldier spoke up and one could hear his nervousness as he spoke.
"Don't just stand there, Kamui, take Kura to Gisela." Wolfram glared at them. Kamui, the one who had spoken to Wolfram, nodded and took Kura from Yozak. The other soldiers just followed after them.
"Yue, walk with us." Wolfram spoke out, getting the soldier who had spoken to Yozak outside, stop.
"Yes, sir." Yue stopped at the top of the stairs.
Yuuri noticed that no one but Wolfram spoke; he had taken control of the situation.
"Yue, what happened out there? You were scheduled to come back from the southern villages next week,."
Wolfram's face was calm and stern. He focused completely on Yue as they walked towards to the healing ward. Gwendal and Conrart walked right behind them, listening to the events that took place. To Yuuri's relieve, Yozak and Murata walked along with Gunter and him.
"Yozak! Didn't know you were back." Yuuri tried to start a conversation.
"Heika, that is because I barely got in." Yozak grinned.
"You brought anything…..from where ever you went? Where you go this time?" Yuuri blinked, making this cute confused face.
"Yuuri-kun! Not now, we have more important things like what happened to the soldier." Murata broke in, as they had stopped right outside the door. Yuuri nodded guiltily, walking into the room, followed by all the others.
"Kura, how are you feeling?" Wolfram walked over to Kura.
"Sir Von Bielefid, I am fine. Nothing, Miss Giesela couldn't heal." Kura grinned sheepishly.
"Well, than. You can tell us what happened?" finally, Gwendal had spoken. He had a bad feeling about these events, which was only made worst by Yue's recollection of events. This surprised Yuuri, because so far it had been only Wolfram talking. No one else seemed to be surprise and if they were, no one showed it.
"I don't remember a lot. It was my turn to go out and keep watch, so I was just sitting outside, staring at the stars. Than I saw some bush moving. I thought it was some animal, or something. Later, it was harder and more violent and I could feel eyes on me. So I stood up and walked cautiously towards the bush, and that is when it happened." Kura paused, forehead scrunching up, trying to remember what else happened.
"What happened?" Conrart asked, a comforting smile on his face.
"Well, I approached and before I know it, I was on the ground. Someone had jumped on me. I fought and pushed the person off. I scrambled to my feet, sword out, but there were too many. I fought as best as I could but there were too many, but the noise rose the rest up. When they started coming out, the men left." Kura concluded.
"Yes, they left, but you are leaving something out." Wolfram scowled and glanced at Gwendal apprehensively, before looking back at Kura.
"Who were they?" Yozak asked, voice restrain.
"They wore uniforms of black and red." Kura informed them.
With that statement, the whole room turned ice cold. Gwendal's face was unreadable. Gunter was tensed, fists clenched tightly against his sides. Conrart's mouth was set in a tight grim. Wolfram growled under his breath, rage clearly showed on his face. Even Yozak had been affected; mouth clenched close and blue eyes shimmering with rage.
"Thank you, Kura. All of you, discharged. Take a break and recuperate, that is an order." Wolfram tried to sound light, but the anger could be hear though his voice.
"Office, Yozak. Now." Gwendal turned around and walked out, face and voice emotionless.
"Boss, you were supposed to keep this relationship secret." Yozak tried to lighten the mood as he walked out, towards Gwendal's office.
Wolfram stood up, walking stiffly out the door.
"Come on Heika, we need to discuss what we are going to do about this." Conrart smiled reassuringly at Yuuri, standing up and walking out after Gunter. Yuuri blinked, realizing something big had just been said and he had no idea what it was. The only thing that made him feel better was that Murata did now know, or did he?
"Come on, Shibuya." Murata pushed Yuuri out towards Gwendal's office.
…………………………………………………………………………………………….
"Yozak, report." Gwendal huffed out, seating down behind his desk. Yozak's grin turned into a grim smile, body going stiff. He stood in front of Gwendal, formally.
"Sir, according to my report…." Yozak paused, hesitant to finish.
"Yozak, tell me now." Gwendal snarled eyes flaring with anger. Yuuri took a slight step back, surprised by Gwendal's rage.
Yozak flinched and looked away from Gwendal, nervously. Yuuri was seeing many firsts. Gwendal's rage and now Yozak's nervousness and let's not forget how Wolfram never once glanced at him since the argument.
"Gwendal, it is obvious what is going on. You heard Yue and Kura, black and red!" Wolfram cried out, impatient with the proceedings.
"Yozak." Gwendal stared at Yozak. Yozak took a deep breath.
"The southern villages are suffering problems. Cattle is being killed, things are being stolen. People are starting to get afraid, and there are rumors about a war. It seems that new people are settling in the villages, people that have no right being there. There is a quiet, eerie feel to the villages, sir. I've…..I've heard the Banderas are once again fixing up an army. According to what I've heard around the outskirts of the Banderas kingdom, the king is in a coma, the prince is to take the thrown, and the general is a power greedy bastard, great to boot and clearly feared." Yozak remained quiet, for that was all his information, that he was wiling to give.
The room was deadly silent, and Murata and Yuuri just looked at each other, a bit unsure of what was going on.
"Banderas?" Yuuri spoke out, breaking the silent. All eyes turned to look at him.
"You wimp!" Wolfram growled. "Don't say that forsaken name!" He snapped.
Yuuri frowned, and looked at Conrart with confusion, a flash of jealousy flashed in Wolfram's eyes, but no one saw it.
"You don't know anything about the Banderas?" Conrart frowned and looked at Gunter.
Gunter didn't look at him though, all Gunter seem to have only eyes for, not the Heika, but Gwendal. Conrart turned his head, for Gwendal was now standing near the window, looking down.
"Gunter has never mentioned them." Yuuri frowned, totally confused.
"That is because they are not worth mentioning." Gunter growled out, giving another first to Yuuri.
"Can someone please give us all the information, not just tad bits?" Murata spoke up, annoyed.
"The Banderas are an aristocratic family that lives on the far far south." Gwendal was the one to speak out. Everybody turned to look at him.
"Years back, they tried to take the throne and there was a fierce war." Gwendal paused and Gunter walked over to him, placing a hand on his shoulder.
"I don't see…." Yuuri frowned, not sure what was so bad about it. Yozak was the one, at the end, to finally say it.
"Gwendal's father, Von Voltaire, died by their hand."
