Chapter 22: Mistake

Germany-1794
~

Y/N have just left Pol's mansion, though they were in pain from the 'little fun' they had yesterday. The duke gently pets their horse, the sight of its black pelt, and white splotches make them smile.

The horse was originally Prussia's, but the kingdom gave it to Y/N as a gift. That's what Hamburg said.

As the duke made it to Berlin, they rode through the streets of the capital and towards the German mansion. The guards opened the gate when they saw the young duke heading their way. The horse slowed down and stopped once they made it to the mansion.

Y/N gave their steed to the guards and told them to take good care of Dragonfly (that's the horse's name). Y/N walked up to the corridors and gently knocked on the huge old doors. They slowly opened to reveal Berlin. He looked tired, and his eyes widened at the sight of the duke.

"Y/N! It's amazing to see you here!" Berlin greeted with a wide smile, he opens the doors wider to let the duke inside.

"It's nice to see you too, are you ok? You look tired. Did Prussia give you a hard time?" Y/N questioned. They took off their jacket and handed them to a butler who went to hang them up.

"No, of course not! Prussia would never give me a duty that would tire me out, I've just been worried about that's all. We've all been worried.." Berlin responded. The duo walked down the halls and chatted a bit. He was taking the duke to Prussia, which made them feel anxious.

"Here we are, I'll be right out here if you need me," Berlin said, he opens the office door and let the duke inside. The doors later closed behind Y/N, which made them startled. The room was dark and gloomy, with only the light of the window shining through.

Y/N saw a wine bottle on the desk, Prussia's hand came into view, and they watched as he twirled his glass. His attention was toward the window.

"I'm glad you're back, Y/N. I apologize for what happened earlier... I was paranoid about my kingdom being taken away from my hands." Prussia blurted. He took a sip of his wine, and his attention turned to the duke.

"Though there's something we have to discuss.." Prussia stated. He sets his wine glass down, and his gaze locks on Y/N.

"You were conquered by Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, yes?" He questioned, his hands folded into fists. Butterflies were now in the duke's stomach, and it made them sweat. How did he know???

"How -" Before Y/N could even ask, something flew down to Prussia's chair. A black eagle that wore a crown and everything was there with its glowing white eyes.

Prussia took out another glass, and he poured some wine into it, "Have a drink, you must be thirsty."

Y/N hesitated a bit before taking a glass and thanking the kingdom.

"Why did you think that having him conquer you were ok? You are in charge of two of my important cities, I wouldn't want them to.. ya know." Prussia sighs at the thought of what the duke has done.

"How can I repay you... sir?" Y/N asked. They didn't take a sip of the wine, but it didn't bother Prussia.

The kingdom looked up a bit surprised, but he hums with a frown. His fingers tap his glass before looking up at the duke before him.
