I watched as they were enjoying their time together. His slender fingers that were dancing on the piano's keyboard just moments ago were now caressing her cheek. A warm smile appeared on her beautiful face as she slowly leaned closer, their lips meeting into a tender kiss. Their pale cheeks went rosy red, especially his. People said that they were perfect together, that they were made for each other. 'A match made in heaven' some might say.

But I loathe them. I can't stand seeing them together. I can't stand seeing her with him.

That warm smile, that loving glance… Those affectionate things that she would never show towards me.

I know that I'm just tormenting myself with the thought that she would ever love someone like me, a person whom she looks upon with disgrace.

Even though we were very close during our childhood, my chance of being with her disappeared when he came into her life and changed our destinies. She fell in love with him at the first sight and since that day she became colder and colder towards me. She even refused to talk to me at times only because I was 'bullying' him. Was trying to be better than him bullying? I don't think so.

"Gilbert, amigo, do we really have to do this? Austria did nothing…"

"Oui, Antonio is right."

The knight just shrugged and continued to sharpen his sword's blade. The Austrian army was going to be there in just an hour.

"Why do you do this? What is your purpose?" The Spaniard asked.

"…Revenge." Was all that the Prussian said before he got up and walked towards the battle field.

"Gilbert, wait!" His friends jumped and rushed to gather their soldiers.

I remember that day very well, almost as if it was yesterday. It was the day when I realized that I am no longer in her heart, that she belongs to him and not to me.

"Stay away from him!" She yelled as she pointed her sword at him while standing in front of the Austrian who was lying on the ground, injured.

"Nein, I won the battle! I am much stronger than him!"

"Go away already! Isn't all the bloodshed that you caused enough? This war is your fault! Now go away, I don't want to see your face ever again!"

"Fine then! Take your territories back, I don't need them anyway." He said and got up, then walked away to his camp.

"Prussia, we-"

"Halt den Mund! It's over..." He said and went into his tent, where he sat down and wept.

"Es ist vorbei… mein Gott, what have I done?"

Maybe I was too crude. Maybe I was too brutal. Maybe I was a cold hearted and bloodthirsty beast. But all I really wished for was to get her attention, to show her that I'm better than him. I loved her and I still do, but she would never see me as a lover, not even as a friend. And Roderich, who did absolutely nothing to win her love, had her in just a second.

Well, Roderich, I have only one word for you. A word that I said many years ago and I swear by Gott that one day I'll fulfill my purpose, or else I shall disappear; revenge.

Lil' dictionary:

Halt den Mund = Shut up;

Es ist vorbei = It is over;

Mein Gott = My God.
