"Don't anger a mama's boy.."

"You are very influential in the kingdom, Alfred. The first thing you should do is start telling all the bad deeds the King has done to the maids in the castle."
"Hey Estelle!" Alfred called to one of the maids who was sweeping the vase near their family portrait.
"Greetings your majesty.." she spoke, bowing down, "Anything you need?"
"Actually, yes. I need to tell you a couple of things about my father. You can keep a secret can't you?" Alfred asked, knowing full well she can't. Estelle has a reputation of spreading the gossip to everyone. Like everyone. News will fly by soon.
"Did you hear that my father the king hit his wives.. he even hit Queen Arthur? Oh and one time he even hit Jett! Oh here's something else, I heard that he ordered my brother, Matthew's death! Don't tell anyone I said this though.. I must go, Mister Yao is waiting for me.."
With that, Alfred left in a dash, leaving Estelle shocked.
"This will be some good gossip!" she exclaimed as she skipped off to find the other maids.
"First step, success.. the rest better be ready because a revolution has now begun.."
~~~
"Oh Roderich! Please, you must understand!"
"I think I have understood enough, Elizaveta! Why are you getting involved in problems that don't concern us!"
"Have a heart! That king is cruel, cold-hearted! He killed his own son and his first two wives! He deserves to be taken down!"
"Why does this even matter? I don't care about anything but my country and you. My decision is final, we aren't sending an army to help that kingdom."
...
"If you won't do so, then I will do it myself."
"Elizaveta-"
"You can't stop me. You can't stop my army. You don't rule me." Elizaveta said, walking off without once turning her back.
"Oh Elizaveta, my dear.."

Francis was fiddling with the letter in his hand while Antonio watched him, annoyed.
"Just open it already!" Antonio groaned.
"Be patient.. I want to see if there's poison or a bomb or something trying to kill me!"
"Who's it even from?" Antonio questioned.
"Someone from the Kingdom of the United North America. He goes by the name, Yao.."
"And you are skeptical because?"
"Did I not tell you? Oh no, I must have forgotten.."
"Tell me what.."
Francis explained what Matthew told him previous years ago. How his father treated everyone with cruelty, even Arthur himself. How John hit Arthur many times, once being with a glass vase.
Antonio gasped at his friend with shock but before he could reply Matthew slipped through the door.
"I'm sorry.. was I disturbing something?"
"Not at all, mon cher. I do have a question though, do you know someone named Yao?"
"Oh yes," Matthew answered, immediately, "He was the one who sent me here. Mister Antonio, he was the man who handed me to you. He's also Arthur's tutor and creates plans for the day. They were quite close and he always took care of Arthur when.. um."
"When the bastard hit him.." Francis finished.
"Yes.." Matthew agreed.
A silence hung in the air. Nobody really knew how to continue the conversation, especially since it was very sensitive. Francis spun the letter in his hands and thought that maybe now would be a good time to open the letter. Francis cautiously ripped open the seal and took out the parchment. He glanced at it as his eyes widened in shock.
"What is it?" Antonio asked, worried by his friend's expression.
"I- there is going to be a revolution. They are trying to overthrow John and put Alfred on the throne instead. They want us to join."
"W-what!" Matthew exclaimed, "Excuse me!"
"Do we have any other allies?" Antonio asked as Matthew left.
"Yes! Austria-Hungary and Russia are for it and they sent a letter to King Allistor of the United Kingdom and the rest of Arthur's brothers. Knowing them, they will also join."
"Then, are we in?"
"You don't have to ask twice."
~~~
"WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS SHIT?!"
"Conner! Calm down! Tell Allistor and I what's in the letter.." Dylan said in a soothing tone as he stood up to see why Conner got so mad.
"CALM DOWN?!" yelled Conner, "I will not calm down!"
"What even is it?" Dylan asked, as he took the letter from Conner's hands and started to read it.
"What does it say, Daffodil?" Allistor asked while he watched Dylan drop it on the ground. Dylan started to shake uncontrollably as his eyes turned a slight red. Conner slightly backed away from him and Allistor was becoming more concerned than ever. Dylan was the calmest and kindest person he knew, he would have never thought that Dylan would act in such way.
"How dare he.. how fucking dare he. We trusted him."
Allistor thought that maybe a close ally betrayed them. Portugal, maybe? It still didn't sit right that Dylan would act like this just because an alliance broke. Something else, but what?
"HOW DARE HE TREAT MY BABY BROTHER THIS WAY!"
That's when it finally hit Allistor. Something happened to Arthur, it had been years since he had seen his precious brother and by the sound of his other two brothers, he must be in danger! He reached for the letter and read it; throwing it to a window, breaking it immediately.
"Conner, send them a letter that we will join the revolution. Tell them, that you now have their most eager ally on their side." Allistor said, in a uncomforting calm tone.
