~~On With The Story~~
~Chapter Seven: After Dinner Aftermaths~
There I stood in all my glory, in that dress hand picked out by Cecile for the dinner summons. Dresses were never something I liked wearing, but born in this world I had no choice for the matter; I always had preferred jeans and a simple t-shirt; like they wore in the King's world.
I shrugged and walked into the assigned room, putting on a composed face and a fake smile like I was actually happy to see that witch Adrianne all over Wolfram; and clinging to his arm. For some reason a part of me could never describe how I believe the human phrase was 'pissed off' I felt at the sight, but I could hide I always could it was one of the things I was always praised for.
Wolfram, however contraire to what might be expected wasn't even flinching at her touch, I always thought that it was weird that even though they were Aunt and Nephew they shared a relationship beyond. "Perhaps, it is because she is our age" I had once concluded with Conrad and Gwendal who had just happened to be in the room when I for once in my life announced my thoughts, but that was years before and even though I still felt that way I was sure that the memory of that had long disappeared from their minds.
"Christine!" Adrianne cooed her eyes still lingering on Wolfram, though she called us friends, I could always tell that she detested me, and they way that she was prying on Wolfram right now it was almost as though despite my expression she could tell that I was jealous not that I was it was just that
Well Adrianne being the woman that she is didn't even let me ponder in my thought any longer as she beckoned me (like I was her dog) to the table. I never did understand the blond, and gray eyed devil; everyone in the table (with the possible exception of Wolfram) detested her presence each far more than me, even Stoffel, the former regent and (cause for war) hated her and they were related to her
I sat down and the chefs brought in the appetizers, I took as minimal as possible on my plate, I was never a fan of appetizers I never understood how people could eat these, the soup, the main course, salad, AND desert yet STILL stay thin as a model. The demon tribe I had concluded was "So totally weird" as humans so speak.
"Well the topic of this might as well be that Wolfram and the Maoh are no longer engaged!" Adrianne cooed on, and I could see Yuuri loose color this was not where he wanted the conversation to draw to and definitely not in public I pitied the poor boy. Wolfram on the other hand took charge, and that was something positive about him, possibly the only positively happy thing that I had thought about him this entire dinner. "That is not up for open discussion," he said sternly.
"But Wolfram," Adrianne cooed on I wondered if she would ever get over and done with the cooing, but at the rate she was going tonight it didn't look hopeful. As if on cue Wolfram melted and I glared at her but wiped it off before anyone could notice except Yuuri I suppose. "As the King of the kingdom, that's enough Lady Adrianne," and to my surprise his voice was unusually pissed.
With that we went through the entire rest of the dinner with out any conversation what so ever, and I don't think that I've ever been so glad that dinner was over. I was never a fan of formal dinners but the silence made the whole thing so eerie then again none of us had ever seen Yuuri get mad like that before okay we'd seen him mad that's when he went all demon king on us, but never mad over something pathetic like what Adrianne said. Though I didn't think it would be difficult for no one in the palace, like I said with the possible exception of Wolfram, like Lady Adrianne Von Spitzberg.
Well with that I walked back to my room, by myself. I found having guards was useless a long time ago. And if anyone did attack me it's not like I couldn't defend myself I wasn't like those weak girls depicted in human 'movies.' But the worst thing that could possibly happen to me right now was
"Christine!" Wolfram called from behind me was that. I didn't stop perhaps if I pretended that I was deep in thought and that I didn't notice that he was there he would leave me alone. I began to walk faster than I normally would in a hall. Before I knew what was happening I ran, quickly as I could; but I knew that wouldn't help me either, because he was taller, and therefore his legs were longer, and he caught up with me quicker than I had expected.
"Whats wrong with you?!" he practically yelled at my face. I didn't flinch; keeping my usual ever stoic expression. "Oh, hello Wolfram," you said in a completely polite tone not letting him know anything was wrong, "I didn't notice you were there." "Yet you started running like you were being hunted by an assassin?" he asked suspiciously. "Well, I was deep in thought and when I start to think I run it's very refreshing you should try it one day; it works wonders!" I found my self exclaiming to make up for the mistake before.
He still looked curious, "Are you sure that you're alright Chris?" And at that moment I found myself doing something that I had never done before, something I was taught so vigorously never to do. I found myself exploding all my problems "NO!" I began screaming and not caring if the entire castle heard me, not caring what it would do to my name as long as I could be myself I concluded silently in my head. "NO! I am most certainly NOT okay!"
