He lied...

He lied to them...

He said that he would keep them happy and he lied... today marked one of the most devastating days for them.

Because HE was killed, wiped from the map.. forever gone, and never seen again. They finally killed him for good, and Y/N can never see him again.

Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth was destroyed by Prussia, Hapsburg, and the Russian Empire. It hurts, and Y/N refused to believe it. They ran out of the mansion, leaving Leopold and Hamburg. Getting on Dragonfly, they ride their horse to the capital.

He couldn't...

He promised...

Pol was supposed to stay with Y/N.... at least... enough for Y/N to know he's ok.. but he's gone.

Y/N couldn't focus. Their mind wandered. Mostly about Pol and the time they had with him before the annexation happened, the time they met at the ball and the time they had tea together almost every day.

The gates, those black gates that belonged to the man they thought they could trust. And there they saw a carriage with three countries walking out, laughing and everything. Their heart broke at the sight of the Russian Empire, Hapsburg, and Prussia.

Dragonfly stopped and let Y/N go. The Duke ran past the guards who yelled at them to come back. The commotion caught the three countries' attention, and before any of them knew it, Prussia got punched in the face by Y/N.

The kingdom stumbled to the ground, his mouth and nose bled, and Russia came to his aid while Hapsburg tried to calm down Y/N.

"You lied! You lied to me!! You said you would keep me happy, you bastard!!" Y/N shouted. The guards came to the group and grabbed Y/N. Hapsburg tried to reason with the guards, but they just took them away. The Austrian ran after them, wanting to help the duke the best he could.

Prussia carefully got up with the help of Russia, and he wiped the blood off his face. A sting was felt in his heart, a type of feeling he hasn't felt in a while guilt.

Y/N sat in a corner of a cell the guards put them in, and they sobbed quietly. The sound of rats and dew hitting the puddles was the only thing they could hear. Hapsburg told them that he was going to go find help, so they waited for the Austrian to come back.

Their thoughts were about the polish country and the memories they had, it made them more depressed. They sobbed more, life is a lie, and death is a painful truth.

The sound of steps hitting the hard ground gave their attention to the person. Holy frowned at the sight of the duke, their eyes red from the tears they shed and their hair a mess. The empire took out a set of keys and opened the cell door, he walks over to the duke and picked them up, and carried them in his arms.

The empire walked out and hushed Y/N as they hiccup and cried more. They cried a waterfall of tears into the empire's chest, which he could only pat and whisper comforting words to Y/N After a while, everything went silent, which meant Y/N fell asleep, which made Holy's job a bit easier.

Their eyes fluttered open, and they sat up on the bed to look around their surroundings. It looks like they were in Holy's room, they look beside them and saw that the empire was sleeping with them.... without a shirt. Let's hope he's not naked under the blankets... don't get any thoughts.

Holy shifted and turned his body towards the duke. He yawned a bit before talking to them.

"I'm glad you're awake, I hope you don't mind that you're here. I'd thought you would need someone to sleep with you since.. you know.." He whispered, Y/N lied down and looked at the empire.

"Thanks for.. letting me out and everything." Y/N sighed. They frown a bit from what happened earlier today. They felt the empire's hand on their cheek, and they looked back at Holy.

"It's not a problem, Hapsburg told me you were in trouble, so I wanted to let you out. Everything happened so fast, and you just needed to grieve, not suffer in a jail cell." Holy whispered, he lay on his back and stared at the ceiling while also letting go of Y/N's cheek.

Y/N snuggles against the soft blankets, and they closed their eyes. They felt Holy wrap his arms around the duke and pull them towards him to keep them warm.

"When I'm gone, I will forever watch over you, Y/N. And I will do my best to protect you.." Holy vowed. They weren't sure if he would do that, but they appreciated it.

Germany-1806

Leopold ran around the mansion with a wooden sword while Frankfurt ran after him with Hamburg behind the two.

"You'll never take me alive, France!!" Leopold shouted at Hamburg, who laughed evilly.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAA!! Hapsburg Leopold, it looks like we're at a dead end!" Frankfurt gasps, he held his wooden sword, and he looked behind him to see Hamburg.

"Get it together, Sweden! We can take him!" Leopold yelled as he lightly slapped his uncle's cheek. They two looked at Hamburg before attacking the city with their swords. Hamburg fought back. He swung his sword at the two and made sure not to hurt Leopold badly.

Hamburg playfully stabbed Frankfurt, Leopold gasped, and attacked Hamburg to avenge his comrades' death. Hamburg fell on the ground and played dead while Leopold ran towards Frankfurt.

"He got me, Leopold... I don't think I'm going to make it. This is the end for me." Frankfurt coughed.

"Stay with me! You'll be able to see your country again!" Leopold pleaded. He held his uncle's head on his lap.

"I think I see the light.." Frankfurt gasped. He later played dead in Leopold's arms.

"NOOOOOOO!" Leopold dramatically shouted at the sky.

"Leopold! Frankfurt! Hamburg! Dinner is ready!!" Y/N called out from inside the mansion.

"Coming!" Leopold yelled. He let go of Frankfurt and ran inside. Hamburg sat up and held his wooden sword, and he looked at Frankfurt, who was still lying there on the ground.

"Get up." Hamburg sighed as he threw his sword at the city.

"ACK! OW!"
