This is one of my favourite heart wrenching YuuRam scenes that I probably re-read more than 100 times already, cause I love them too much!!
There’s little yuuram in this novel until the very last scene (when after four full novels the royal couple reunites in the most heart-wrenching way possible). Novel 13 is mostly focused on “Murata and his other lives” , “Yuuri being trapped in the tunnels" and “Yuuri being saved by Conrad and mourning Josak’s death”, all important things that needed to get out of the way before we get the full yuuram impact of novel 14.
————————————————————————-
Novel 13. ch.6 -Reuniting. Yuuri has been blinded by the tunnel and confused by the tricks it plays on the minds of people in it-
The cold piece of metal was within my hand’s reach. I couldn’t afford to worry about my palm. The same goes for my enemy. He is coming at me to swing with the broken sword which doesn’t have a tip. Even I gripped the bare blade and quickly gave a horizontal swipe. The meal which was originally one sword, hurt two men at the same time. A hot stimulus ran through my right shoulder and there undoubtedly was some reaction in my left hand.
My opponent’s body suddenly kneeled over. The air which was filled with the smell of rusty iron surged towards me.
However finding the scent I certainly remember within it puzzled me. It wasn’t only the blood.
“Wolf…?”
“Yu”
The body that had collapsed in my arms slowly turned.
“Wolfram!?”
“…Yuuri”
My sleeves and palms were completely drenched in some warm liquid. Wolfram’s heaviness profoundly weighed down on my shoulders. While embracing him, I kneeled down on the ground miserably.
“I couldn’t see, really, I didn’t know!”
“Even me. I heard an unfamiliar voice… its not your… fault”
“Wolf!”
Everyone tells me that it’s not my fault.
But in reality, everything is my fault.
—————————————————– A little introspective on this scene: So why did Yuuri recognize Conrad’s voice but not Wolf’s? Well, Conrad wasn’t in the tunnel when he saw Yuuri and shouted his name (chapter 3), so he and his voice weren’t affected. Wolfram on the other hand was in the tunnel and his brain was affected like Yuuri’s, believing an enemy was about to attack and not recognizing the person in front of him.
I find it so cute that Yuuri recognized Wolf by his smell. By the way, did you notice how they stabbed each other? Once again we see them being ‘equals’ here. It could have been just Yuuri or Wolf, but no, the novel ends with the reunited couple stabbing each other. (What an unexpected and terrifyingly romantic ending was that though?)

I. AM. DYING!!
I’m so sorry I just finished kyo kara maoh which I literally started watching when I was a teenager and only just now was able to watch the rest and it was very good and cute so I’m reblogging some stuff. Anyone else ever seen this show?
Agreed!!
This is just a small post about “Maybe author was hinting about Yuuri’s sexuality(and type?)” and here it goes.
I will start with the pillow, remember there was a story in which magical pillows were mentioned. You can select a pillow and if you have maryoku you will have a certain “themed” dream depending on the type of pillow. In that story Yuuri used the silver pillow and he did see something from his past life meaning the pillow worked!
Then we have the Mise Ma Show where we saw that Yuuri wanted to have a lewd dream with a girl but ends up having Wolf and Conrad in his dreams! I mean he wanted girls but sees guys with him! What if this was just a way of author slipping “Hey hey you see Yuuri might be into guys not girls!” We know that the other pillows did work and the others got their result. So the pillow working should be a hint?
There was also this in Dual at Ma Noon “ There was no way that confessing my teenage preference in lewd dream !”. But I am not sure if he was talking about the “lewd dream” or the ”guys”.
Finally, there is also Because We’re Young the part they were talking about not seeing Rated-R dreams and Yuuri is/was always like “I like mature girls” and ends up seeing himself with a fierce person. Type much? I know the conversation sort of changes to where Yuuri is saying,”this and that is also my type?“ but you get my point. Also, he never gets to the main part with the girls in his dreams XD! I mean never ever according to this story.
I also wanted to address the time line of all stories:
Novel 9 - April 2004
Novel 10 - His Majesty the Maou’s Elegant Day - Sept 2004(the story where pillows are mentioned)
Mise ma show - June 9, 2005
Duel at ma- December 31, 2005
Gaiden 3 - When we were young - Nov 14 2006
The reason I listed the time line is because from Novel 9 I saw a considerable amount of change in how Yuuri was behaving or interacting with Wolf. So maybe author was trying to slide such things or maybe it was just for comedy XD! I know Maru Ma is an adventure story I highly doubt we will get a side where Yuuri will be like “I thought I only liked girls then I realised….” dun dun dun!!!!!! At this point we don’t need it but just think about it if we ever get it “…then he entered my life…” XD!
They went to 'Get Help' anyway cause Thor is the big bro so he pulls the shots. Poor Loki had it coming.
Hiddleston even notes, “At the center of Loki’s identity, certainly for as long as I’ve played him, is untrustworthiness. He’s unpredictable and spontaneous.”
But now, with a tearful confession to Sylvie, Loki’s newly changed outlook shines through as he takes everything he’s learned over the course of the series and tries to reason with her. But, “it’s heartbreaking pain because she’s not on the same page.”
“The confession in Episode 6 reveals how much he’s evolved. Sylvie believes Loki’s position comes from the same old motivation to sit on a throne. But it doesn’t. It comes from genuine care for another being outside of himself. It speaks to a theme that was very close to all of our hearts as filmmakers, which was about self-confrontation, and self-awareness, and self-forgiveness, and self-acceptance in some way. That the only way of moving forward is to acknowledge who you are. And then change can begin.” Tom Hiddleston
I am in love with the ending song!
I tried stitching together the ending sequence

Love you 3000!
I’m hoping if you play this back, it’s in celebration.
Thank you Robert Downey Jr. for 11 years of Tony Stark, Earth’s Best Defender.
