Meanwhile, Wolfram sat on the bed where he had once shared intimate moments with Yuuri, shedding tears for a specific reason. At that moment, he came to a decision. Without hesitation, he gathered his belongings and clung to one word: regardless of the circumstances, regardless of the risks and challenges that lay ahead, he would abandon everything and search for Yuuri.

He couldn't let it end like this. He left a note for the palace, resigning from his position as the current Maoh and as Elizabeth's husband.

With unwavering determination, he vowed to find Yuuri and provide the necessary explanations. As the storm outside mirrored the tears that Yuuri had shed, Wolfram left the palace and the boundaries of the demon tribe, knowing that no matter what, he would return to Yuuri. With a heavy sigh, Wolfram whispered, "Wait for me… Yuuri."

On the other hand, Yuuri seemed to catch a whisper in the wind and turned back. It felt as though the wind had something important to tell him. Lost in his thoughts, he was startled when Sara called out his name and embraced him. Looking into his fiance's eyes, Sara noticed a lone tear at the corner. He asked Yuuri what was wrong, but Yuuri, unsure of how to respond, simply shook his head and smiled, assuring Saralegui that he was fine and there was no need to worry.

Yuuri and Saralegui lived happily on the small Cimaron island, hidden from the demon tribe's knowledge. All the letters that Saralegui sent to the demon tribe conveyed no news of him and promised to inform him if he ever found him.

Yuuri was always by Saralegui's side, and Saralegui found himself growing more fond of him with each passing day. The old affection he had for Yuuri seemed to resurface, and he saw this as a second chance to love him. Yuuri still had no recollection of his past and remained oblivious to everything around him. He still referred to himself as Fran, believing it to be his name.

Wolfram, in various places, continued to wander aimlessly, unaware of the passage of time. He held onto the hope of finding Yuuri and keeping him by his side, no matter what. But his hopes were shattered when Conrad, Wolfram's older brother, appeared before him and informed him that chaos had erupted in the palace due to the Maoh's disappearance. Wolfram, seemingly indifferent, pressed forward, paying no attention to his brother's words.

"Do you want the palace that Yuuri worked so hard to protect to crumble because of your selfishness?"

Wolfram halted in his tracks and turned around angrily. He had no interest in listening. He didn't care, and he wanted his brother to understand that. However, when he saw his brother's face, all his words faded away. Conrad too had suffered. He wore a pained and sorrowful expression, and they understood who it was all about.

"Sorry, but you know I won't give up on Yuuri."

"I know, Wolfram, but as the Maoh, it might be best for you to return. We are lost without you."

"Enough. I know it's a lie."

"No, even though we can manage the tasks and handle everything, we still need to follow your commands. We need you as our leader."

"Do you think I'm still capable?"

"Wolfram…"

"What? What do you expect? I married a woman I didn't love and was accused of betrayal by my lover. Now I don't even know where he is... Maybe Yuuri doesn't want to see me anymore. Do you know how much pain that brings me?"

"I understand, but…" Conrad paused for a moment, then continued.

"Wolfram, you know Yuuri isn't that kind of person. He may say hurtful things, but he will never lose trust in anyone, especially not you. You are his fiance. He will never hold a grudge against you."

Conrad's tone was reassuring. Having stood by Yuuri's side for a long time, he knew who Yuuri truly was. Yuuri cared for others and loved unconditionally, especially those he held dear. And if it was Wolfram, Conrad knew Yuuri would never be angry with him.

"But what if he truly becomes angry? Wouldn't that be worse? He believes that I have betrayed his trust. We all know…" Conrad once again shook his head, assuring Wolfram that he was certain of his words.

"His Majesty may be angry for now, but it won't last forever. He acts that way because he loves you. Give him some space. You never know, one day he will come back to you, offering his reassuring smile and reaffirming his eternal love for you. So, Wolfram, stop dwelling on it too much."

Wolfram understood, but he couldn't shake the fear that Yuuri might truly leave him. Looking at his brother, he had no choice but to argue.

"If he understands, then where the hell is he? What is he thinking? I don't even know where I'm headed... Everywhere I go, all I see is his face... Do you know how much I suffer every time I think of him?"

Conrad was at a loss, unable to comfort his younger brother any further. It was as though Yuuri was the anchor for Wolfram, and without him, Wolfram felt adrift. Sympathetically, Conrad locked eyes with him and gave his shoulder a comforting tap.

"We're sorry, Wolfram, but we have no other option... You must take responsibility for…" Conrad began, only to be interrupted by Wolfram.

"For? For what exactly, brother?"

Wolfram's eyes were filled with sorrow as he asked his brother what he needed to be responsible for. Conrad was at a loss for words in the face of Wolfram's question. He sighed and said,

"That's why I wanted you to tell him the truth earlier, then maybe he…"

"He would leave me sooner rather than later."

"Wolfram..."
