"Ne, ne, Arthur! Tell us a tale!" – Little Alfred of ten years old took the hand of the British man a made him climb to the top of the bed in which his twin brother Matew was waiting – "Pretty please"
"Those puppy eyes, he knows I cannot refuse" – He thought – "Well ok, ok" – He sat between the two brothers and start – "In a far, far away land used to lived two brothers, they… - He was abruptly cut up by an intruder – "What the hell are you doing, you bloody git!"
"Watch your mouth Arthur, you're with the kids" – England covered his mouth and blush – "You were telling them a story" – The blond nod – "Oh c'est magnific! Why don't you let my tell them a tale tonight"
"That would be awesome! Don't you think so Matew?" – The Canadian put his polar plushy bear on his face and made him nod, Arthur was about to complain but the shine in Alfred's eyes make him stop –
"Ok but be careful, it's a kids tale"
"Well of course, ma chèrie" – He made himself comfortable in the bed beside Arthur and start –
A long time ago, when Europe was still a whole country, there used to be two big kingdoms: The kingdom of the sun, in which the sun never sets even when it rains. And the kingdom of the moon, in which the sun never came up and the seasons were always the same.
These two kingdoms used to live peacefully until the people of the kingdom of the moon started to complain. "Why we can't see the sunlight? – they started to ask – Why we're always cold when the people in the kingdom of the sun are always happy and warm?" – They wanted to experienced all the things that the people in the kingdom of the sun experiment every day, so the ruler of the kingdom of the moon said to the ruler of the kingdom of the sun: "We want to be as warm as you are, so if you don't want a war you must gave us one of your children, that way the sun will came to us!" – And so the wise ruler of the kingdom of the sun was force to make a decision. He love very much all of his children, but the country couldn't afford a war, so he called his queen and all of his sons and daughters.
They all go to the living room there, the mighty king Francis, and his lovely queen Arthur – "hey you git! Why am I the queen?? And most important why am I YOUR queen!"
"Shut up dear, you're breaking the mood" – What was I'm saying? Oh right! The first ones to arrive were the twins, the youngest sons of ten years old, Alfred and Matew, they hug their parents and sit by their side. Then came the three daughters, Lilli (Lichtenstein), Bella (Belgium) and Elizabeta, they were fourteen sixteen and seventeen. The three of them looked worried, because they know that when all the family went to the living room to chat nothing good could happen.
The last one to arrive was the biggest and first son, Antonio. He was eighteen years all; he was caring and protective with all his brothers. He sat beside the girls and tried to make them chill out.
"Sons…" – The king Francis began with a solemn voice – "As you might know, the ruler of the kingdom of the moon came here this morning" – silence – "He said that he was going to declare war…" – In that instant the prince Antonio stand up and look at his father in the eyes with determination – "We're not going to fight, Antonio" – He said –
"But what are we gonna do father?" – Asked Elizabeta while she hold Lilli's hand –
"There's… There's another option" – He reply sadly –
"What father? We must do everything to prevent this war!" – Said Bella, The King Francis didn't said a world – "Answer me father!" – She demanded –
"He told us" – the queen Arthur started, holding his husband hand – "That he wanted one of our children, that way the sun will spread his light in his land" - He finished sadly and almost in tears, the little prince Alfred hugged him and he hugged him in return –
"Then we should decide…"
"I'll do it!" – Said Prince Antonio – "He asked for one of your children, he didn't say which one of us he wanted, so I'll go. I'm the oldest and it's my obligation to protect my brothers and sisters" – He was serious and determined
Both of his parents where silent not knowing what to say, he only smile and hug them both –"I'll be all right, and I'm sure they will let me came by and say hi" – He smile again and hug his little brothers and sisters – "Tell them I'll be there by tomorrow morning" – He said and with tears in his eyes both, the queen and the king left the room.
The six brothers remind in silence and looking at each other until Bella made a move; she started to cry while she hugs his brother tightly.
"You don't have to do this" – She whispered –
"Yes, I do" – He reply patting her head – "I'll protect all of you, beside it will only be for a few months" – He smile widely making her sisters smile sadly with him –
"You're lying, and you know that" – He sight and kiss her on the forehead
"Every thing will be all right please, all of you, don't worry" – He smiled and left the room –
The next morning everything was tense in the castle, Lilly and the twins were still asleep when the prince left, and the two other princess never felt asleep in the first place, they said goodbye to his dear brother with tears in their eyes and then left to get some rest, because now they were the biggest and the ones in charge to take care of the other three sons.
Antonio found his way to the kingdom of the moon rather easy, as the time passed by the sunlight followed him until he arrived to the entrance of the kingdom, the light faded a little, but it was still there; in the big iron door was a tall man with a big coat waiting with a smile in his face…
