Kyou Kara Maou but Yuuri is the one who introduces people to a tradition for once. It goes a little like this -

There's a rumor in court that the King doesn't really love his fiance, and sees him as a friend or brother in arms. They got engaged for political reasons, you see. Or by mistake. There's no intent there. A few dream of proposing to the king, and have him maybe accept, but most know that's a moot point- he's always with Lord Weller, his bodyguard. No one can get past that man, less of all close enough to the king to actually strike him. So, the smart ones decide a better way to get into the king's good graces and into his inner circle would be by proposing to his fiance. Free him of an unwanted arrangement, become something like a sibling in law by marrying his long time companion, AND get a drop -dead gorgeous husband?? Its too good of a deal to pass up.

And so it starts, one night during a ball at the castle. Yuuri is dancing with Greta, while Wolfram smiles tenderly from the side, and the way the gesture lights up his entire face and turns his stern demeanour angelic gives the last push of bravery a tipsy noble needed. The slap is heard throughout the hall, and everything, music included, quietens at the sound. Wolfram is frozen in place, cheek stinging. Conrad and Gwendal approach, storms in their eyes. Yuuri, confused and a little annoyed as he starts to understand what's going on, follows suit.

He has to duel the noble, of course. As the one of higher standing between him and his friend, it's either he fights the dude for Wolfram or 'gives him up'.

'You can get rid of the engagement like this', Murata points out.

'Wolf isn't an object to be passed around,' Yuuri replies, getting ready for the fight. 'And he doesn't want to marry the guy- I won't free myself by trapping him somewhere else'

He doesn't go too hard on the noble. Poor guy was kinda drunk, he probably didn't mean anything by it, and he doesn't deserve to have his shit rocked because he made an impulsive decision while deep in his glass. Yuuri can also empathize, as he, too, has felt the need to hit Wolfram in the past (and he understands his beauty is the type that makes people do dangerous things).

They think the matter is settled. That it's a one off, weird but whatever.

Then, it happens again, when Wolfram is taking a stroll through the gardens with Greta. The noble lady responsible had thought the last attempt made had failed because the man decided to slap Lord Von Bielefeld in front of the Maou. Of course, even without an emotional connection, the gesture was too disrespectful to go unpunished. She grins as her hand makes contact, uncaring about the young princess bursting into tears and running off. Wolfram, this time, gathers himself fast enough to feel pissed. If not for the guards holding him off, weary of how tradition dictates the only retribution given might come from Yuuri, he'd have cooked the woman alive.

By the time Yuuri gets there, hand in hand with a still weepy Greta, he's mad enough by the fact someone dared make his daughter cry that he duels the woman right there in the gardens. After it's done, Wolfram huffs, still indignant, and marches his king and princess back inside, leaving the guards to deal with the waterlogged lady.

Okay, the nobles think. So maybe the Maou has to save face, and feels forced to accept any challenge thrown in his own home. No big deal! Lord Von Bielefeld is escorting the King on a diplomatic meeting when a dignatary from the neighboring country, the one they are visiting, goes up to him and strikes.

Conrad is the one holding Wolfram back this time, while Yuuri, angry after a full day of negotiations going nowhere, takes the chance to work off some nervous energy and dons his sword for the duel. Murata, again, points out Yuuri could use this as a chance to end the engagement. Yuuri, who's heard Wolfram ask late at night, on a very quiet voice, 'they think me so easy to steal? Am I worth so little to them?', shuts him up with a glare. It was never funny to begin with, but now it's really, really not funny.

The general consensus is, then, that it shouldn't be done while the Maou is nearby at all, or in his castle. Pursuers gain confidence then, attacking again and again when the young lord is on patrols, back on his uncle's lands, or simply out and about. Wolfram's guards become twitchy, trying their best to stop this from happening but not having much success, dreading the moment they are sent to call for the Maou so he might fight for his fiance.

Yuuri fights no less than 15 duels, having to cut meetings short, postpone his trips to earth and cancel baseball practice to do so. He's getting angrier and angrier, frustrated and... Something else he has no name of, at how many people are apparently wanting to take his place on Wolfram's life.

He still entertains the entire thing because that's tradition, apparently, and it has to stop eventually, right?

Until one night, when they are alone in their room, Wolfram turns away from him in the bed and whispers how maybe they should end the engagement. If people think him so easily stolen, his image must be pretty bad, not at all like how a future king consort should be; and he's seen how tired Yuuri is of having to defend him. His pride and feelings are hurt, and for the first time in his life, Wolfram is contemplating giving up instead of fighting, his usual fire dimming with every careless duel.

That's when Yuuri gets up from bed, terrified and furious at the notion, and storms into the treasure room to look for the thing he needs. And during the next big feast at the castle, like the one that started this madness, he calls for attention and explains to everyone how proposals are done in Earth. How one gets down on one knee, begging their partner to accept a ring in exchange for the rest of their life together. How no one can take that ring off, except the one that put it there or the one who wears it, and even then it's by their choice alone. How it's a promise and a vow and something unbreakable, forever.

And as he says this, he kneels in front of Wolfram and presents a precious ring of emeralds and onix, and once again binds Wolfram to him.

No one else proposes to either of them, after that night, even though Wolfram's smile had shone so bright it put all the jewels in the room to shame.

Gunter doesn't stop crying for a week, while Gwendal is busy planning the wedding.

[lee-v5x]

someone please, PLEASE convince me that i’m in love with the villainess isn’t just a lesbian (yuri) take on kyou kara maou. i’m actually going to go insane over this. they’re both isekais. the main protagonists (big spoons) have the typical brown hair and eyes, and fall in love with a haughty, bold and aggressive blonde who ends up loving them back. or, i mean, in rae’s case she already had strong feelings before meeting her, but THAT’S BESIDES THE POINT. there are so many parallels between these two that are so hard to miss. literally how the fuck did i not hear about this show until now. of course it was written and published in 2009. of course most of the fandom’s population has dwindled to almost nothing. WOLFRAM AND YUU ARE LITERALLY THE BIGGEST BREATH OF FRESH AIR TO DATE like. i don’t even care that the bl included isn’t the main focal point of the show. it doesn’t have to be, as it’s already plentiful with dozens of scenes i could nose bleed over. both couples get married and adopt a child. maybe one of them gets engaged to each other after only the second episode. after a slap over the cheek. who cares. it’s been a while since i’ve had this type of feeling since discovering pandora hearts back in the 6th grade. like holy SHIT is it underrated. and yes i’m saying this while not even being on episode 5. the humor is delicious. the characters are amazing and yuu and wolfram’s dynamic is something i thought would never be displayed in anime to this large of an extent. the red oni and blue oni trope at its fucking finest. one-sided enemies to lovers for both pairings. it’s fantastic. people please slightly revitalize this show by streaming it on crunchyroll. or pirate it for hell’s sake, who cares. kyou kara maou deserves more love. i might’ve been born too late to see it while it was still airing but i’m glad i’m alive to see it after it’s reign. thanks.

❤️❤️

why

[miss-choco-chips]

I've recently gotten into Kyou Kara Maou, specially on the fanfic side of the fandom (Wolfram is my favorite character, surprising absolutely no one) and after reading my fair share of different fanfic headcanons, I gotta say... I LOVE when the main catalyst for Yuuri coming to terms and accepting his feelings for Wolfram is when someone else is visibly down bad for him. SPECIALLY when said person is Murata. I find it hilarious, like

Yuuri, five feet deep in denial and digging even deeper with a toy shovel: well he's good looking but every demon I've met is handsome to some degree, it's not THAT big of a deal.

The lord of if whateverthehell, Prince of whothefuckcares, ready to risk it all after Wolfram blinked in his general direction during a ball: Well if your Highness doesn't want the engagement, I would gladly take your place...

Yuuri, thinking the pros and cons of causing an international incident:... Who the fuck are you, go back to your country. Get out of my castle. CONRAD!!!

Or like

Yuuri, about five minutes away from an identity AND sexuality crisis because Wolfram is currently looking very sexy as he trains his men into the ground: Okay yeah I'll admit it, he's the most beautiful person ive ever seen, but it doesn't matter. I'm a Japanese man, I'm supposed to like girls. I don't want to kiss Wolf!

Murata, kinda also a Japanese man but very much bi and ready to try playing with fire, always down to tease Yuuri and not afraid to be horny on main: I do. Step away from the line if you don't want to get on the ride, your Majesty.

Yuuri, feeling like violence MIGHT be the answer sometimes: beg your fucking pardon
