The Broken Lands (Hetalia Cardverse)

New Leaders

Arthur's POV

It is the first time all the royals were meeting face to face and naturally my palms are sweating, and my head is spinning. I don't think I have ever been this nervous in my entire life, then again my whole life has been dedicated to this day, the day I rule the kingdom.

I stop outside of the great big oak doors that hide away the conference room where the other royals are waiting. I reach for the door knob but stop short unable to make myself open the door. "Are you alright Your Highness?" I let out a small yelp and turn around faster than a speeding bullet when I see the slender, asian man and let out a relived sigh "Oh, Yao it's just you." "Yes, Your Highness I'm afraid it's just me." I smile at how formal he is being "Yao we've been friends for years no need to call me "Your Highness"" I said making air quotes with my hands "Just call me Arthur like nothing has changed" He smiles "Yes of course" I notice a lot of tension melt off of his face I don't blame him just like me he has been training his whole life to be an Jack and I guess finally being one puts him on edge. "Would you like me to walk in first?" I can tell how much he's mocking me, just like Yao. "Yes...please." I say fiddling with the small heart shaped clock in my hand the clocked that seemed to fail to work ever since I became queen He smiled "Your wish is my command my queen." He mocked doing some kind of weird bow in front of me "Shut up." I try not to sound sheepish, but failed he laughs and placed a hand on the door knob "Ready?" he says looking back "Ready."

He turns the door knob and opens the door to the big beautiful room decorated with a grand table in the middle and nine people around the table three representatives from each kingdom. The three people from each land being the King the Queen and the Jack. I clear my throat in my best attempt to sound confident "Welcome to the Spades Kingdom" I introduce looking around the room and the many faces some of them look so happy to be here and others look like they wanted to be anywhere else in the world than here "To get to know each other we will go around the table the King of each kingdom will introduce themselves, their kingdom, their Queen then their Jack." I look around at everyone staring at me really awkward....

"Would anyone like to go first" Yao says saving the day, like always. He turns to me and gives a knowing smile as if saying 'Don't worry we're going to get through this' I give a small smile in return and look back toward the others in the room.

"Oui! We will go first" Says a man with slightly long blonde hair and blue eyes wearing a bright yellow vest also being one of the ones that look over joyed to be in the room. "My name is Francis Bonnefoy, but you can all call me Francis for short." He said turning and winking at me not knowing what to do I give him a confused look trying to not seem fazed "This is my dear Queen, Lilly and my Jack, Vash" he said putting an arm around each of them as he introduced them. Lilly seeming slightly uncomfortable and Vash looked like he wanted tear Francis' arm of and beat him with it. "And we are The Kingdom of Diamonds" Francis finished.

"I guess it is our turn, Da?" Said a man dressed in green cloak like cape with oddly blonde hair (in fact so blonde it appeared to be white) and violet eyes. "My name is Ivan Braginski, this is my Queen, Elizabeta and my Jack, Roderich" He motion too each of them as he said their names "We are The Kingdom of Clubs" I turn to look at Yao who is in turn staring at Ivan I nudge him and he turns to me looking very confused as if he had just recovered from a trance "You were staring" I whisper in his ear "Was not" He says back "Yes you were" He turns away "T-thank you Ivan" I roll my eyes and look back at Yao "Next" I say before Yao can.

A tall blonde muscular man wearing a red cloak stands up and clears his throat "My name is Ludwig Beilschmidt and this is my Queen, Kiku and my Jack, Feliciano" He said "Ve~ Ciao everyone!" Feliciano seemed to be one of the ones who is overly excited to be here, "It's nice to meet you all." Kiku says giving a polite bow. "We are The Kingdom of Hearts"

As they finished introducing themselves Francis said "And are you two going to introduce yourselves?" I turned to Yao and he turned to me and we both started laughing "How rude of us not to introduce ourselves" I said for the most part all nervousness disappearing "I am Arthur Kirkland Queen of Spades and this is my Jack, Yao" I look over at Ivan this time catching him staring at Yao I smile and whisper to Yao "He's Looking at you." Yao gives me a look that mainly says 'Shut up or die' I try hard not to laugh.

"If you are Queen where is your King?" Ludwig asks "We currently haven't found the King...yet." I said, once again becoming kinda nervous "Who will rule your land?" Francis asked seeming over dramatic if you ask me "I think I am fully capable of looking over the land in till our King is found."

Francis looked at me opened his mouth as if he was going to say something, but was interrupted by a faint rattling coming from the window everyone halted and looked at the window each jack reaching for their weapon with every intent to protect their leaders. The window burst open as smoke filled the area blinding everyone in the room, as the smoke cleared there was a tan man wearing a white mask standing by the window, "Who are you state your business!" Yao yelled in one of the harshest tone I have ever heard him speak in. The man threw up his hands in surrender and gave a nervous laugh "Yo, Gil what do I do?" he whispered to the window seal right next to him, a pale hand grabbed the ledge and a white haired man with a huge smile plastered on his face hoisted himself above the ledge his foot getting stuck on the window sill when he tried to jump through the window causing him to fall into the room. He got up quickly trying to cover up his mistake, after dusting himself off he stood up straight and smiled brightly, "TADAH!" "Who are you?" Vash said a sword in his hand. The white haired man cleared his throat and announced; "A message from the heir to the Throne of Awesome slash current ruler of the Throne of Awesome" He looked around the room and yelled "ME! Fear not you stupid royals! It is us the Jokers of the land!" He jumped onto the table pacing back and forth "And your names are?" Lilly said her voice being so small and quiet. "That is Sadik" He said pointing to the other man who was sitting on the table and gave a slight wave " And, I am The Awesome Gilbert." He hopped off the table and took Lilly's hand gently and pecked it. " And it's a pleasure to meet you." Sadik walked over to Gilbert and slapped him on top of his head, "Gil, Talk now- Flirting later" Sadik said looking over at Kiku and winked, Kiku just simply looked away.

"Okay then, So why are you two here anyway?" I spoke up. Gilbert stood again after just sitting down and walked over to me laughing "We are here to deliver the grand prophecy of course!" He snickered slinging an arm around my neck sending semi-chills down my spine. What Prophecy?

A/N Hope you enjoyed this first part. I've been wanting to write something for a while but never had the chance and I figured since summer is coming up I might as well do it! I would love some constructive feedback and reviews other than that, Thanks for reading!
