Monsters pt. 1

Third Person POV

" We are very grateful for your hospitality, Your Majesty." Stephanie bowed her head with a smile." I must say, I understand now, why you are so famous. Your land is magnificent. People are so very happy! It is crystal clear to see, that you are a wonderful ruler~" She smiled sweetly to Alexei.
" Thank you for your kind words, Mrs ambasador, however I am not the only one responsible for my country's success. I have trustworthy and reliable helpers and members of my government...
" Surely, you have chosen them yourself. It's the next proof of your wisdom~"
" I assure you, ma'am, if it was not for everyone that I was given support from, I would not be able to achieve even a bit of what we have today."
" Why, Your Majesty is too humble."
" I do not think so. I've learned my wisdom through my life, but it was in danger once, so if it wasn't for..." Then he stopped speaking , turned his head to [Y/N], who sat next to him and grabbed her hand. " ...My wonderful wife, I wouldn't be there. She saved my life and that's why I was able to learn and achieve it all." Alexei looked calmly at Stephanie, who appearently felt slightly awkward. She certainly did not expect that...
Young Lisa, who stood behind near the corner, had to look down and lower her head, so no one would see her smirk. "That's it! How does it feel Stephanie? The tsar won't fall into your trap! Alexei II is truthful to his wife and country! And that is how it always will be! " She thought with satisfaction. Lisa dared to look up at the empress. And with difficulty she stopped herself from staring.
Empress [Y/N] looked exactly like she would imagine all the beautiful and powerful princesses or queens from fairytales. Elegant, beautiful, kind - looking, but also calm and clever. This woman will fight for her happiness.

They walked through the hallway towards the entrance. Stephanie was clearly angry, but her younger sister was proud and happy. She was pretty sure that it may be the first time, when her older sister got rejected. It surely was surprising, but also quite fun to watch. Maybe Stephanie will finally learn some humality....
" I didn't say the last word yet, sis. Don't grin. " Stephanie whispered to Lisa, who answered immediately." He's too smart. He won't let you get your way."
" Every man has a time when he is able to be untrue to his wife. I'll just wait for the right moment and then make another move."
" Your 'moves' don't work on him! Deal with it! He is not into you!"
" He is pretending not to be. I saw the way he was looking at me."
" With politeness. Just like he looks on everyone. He is simply being nice!"
" I learned to recognize when men want something more..."
" The only person who wants something more is you. I am honestly starting to think, you are more interested in getting your way on him, than actually help the Germany to attack Russia when it's weaker."
" It's not true!"
" Doesn't matter if it is or not. He will never even look at you the way you wish he would. He will never come near you. You will never EVER get close to him."
" That's not true. I WILL find my way to him!"
" The only way you should look for, is the way to grow up and realize that you won't always get everything you want."
" We are Germans. We always get, what we want!"
" Why? Because Fürer said so? Don't be ridiculous, Stephanie. The tsar loves his wife. I don't know if you noticed but he literally demonstrated it to you. Do you think, he didn't realized, that you were flirting with him? He did. And I think, so did his wife. But instead of throwing you out, like most of the people would do, he most politely and very subtly told you he is not interested in you. Unfortunately, even now, you refuse to accept it! Literally, what the hell is wrong with you? Is it so scary to face the fact that not every man you like, will like you in return?"
" Shut up! I'll get to him."
" Oh, Jesus..." Lisa really felt as if she was the older sibling, forced to look after the younger one, that would either ignore all you say, or pretend not to understand anything..." He goddamn it loves her! Can't you just deal with it?"
" Actually, no. Because I don't believe it. I'm better than her.
" Pff... In what way?" Maybe Lisa should not react with such a laughter, but she couldn't stop herself.
" I'm younger and prettier."
" Younger, but not prettier. And she is graceful, elegant, noble and smart. You cannot compete with her. No matter how hard you would try. She is an Empress, a wife of the tsar and a mother of an heir to the throne. She is holding a power of currently strongest empire in Europe. And you? You don't even respect your own self! You have became a puppet on the strings pulled by Hitler and his friends! You are not even acting like the Stephanie I know. " Lisa looked deep into her sisters eyes. " And now, even I have lost my respect for you."  Stephanie stopped in her way and glared at her sister, however the girl didn't seem scared anymore.
" How dare you?!"
" It's Impossible for you to get to him. As long as [Y/N] is here, there is nothing you can do."
" As long as she is there. And if she is not?"
" What are you saying...?!"
" I will just get rid of her. When she is gone, It will be much easier to get to the tsar and couse chaos in Russia..."
" Are you mad?! You can't do that! " Lisa was terrified, that her sister can actually be so much out of her mind, she really could hurt someone!
" Oh, but I can. And I don't think, if there's anyone, who could stop me."
" Then I will!" Lisa declared, but soon enough regretted it, as Stephanie suddenly grabbed her by neck.
" All right, now listen closely, sis. Do not try to cross my plans. I'm warning you. You may be my sister, but if you try to destroy everything, that I have been working for...." Her grip on Lisa's neck grew slightly tighter." I will kill you." After those words, Stephanie casually began to walk towards the entrance, living her younger sister shocked and scared. When the young woman disappeared from her point of view, Lisa took a few step backwards while breathing sharply.
Once again, she felt dizzy and lightheaded, but she turned around as if she was looking for someone. And in fact, she was. Anyone, whom she could warn about what Nazi are planing... Suddenly she noticed a young boy around her age, with curly black hair and very slightly tan skin. She immediately recognized him as the tsarevich Peter Alexeievich Romanov, an heir to the throne...
Lisa stumbled as she tried to come closer to him." Peter Alexeievich!" She called and he turned to her, coming up. However, because she was still not in the best shape after the situation, she began to feel lightheaded again and felt,the world became blurry before her eyes...
Someone caught her. She managed to open her eyes once again, only to see a pair of blue ones, looking at her in concern. " Peter... be careful..." She uttered, before drifting off completely.
