Chapter 1 – Crowned King, At Last

The year was 1740. It was nearly Summer time and it was the perfect time to celebrate, especially for a day like this. The palace was full of the hustle and bustle of the servants making final adjustments and the last minute decisions before the ceremony began. The kitchens were full of steam and silver plates were stacking high with delicious smelling food for the guests. The corridors were quiet except for the occasional servant, heading off to do their next chore.

In one of the bedchambers, Frederick the Second was adjusting the collar on his coat, when he felt a pair of arms wrap around his waist. He grinned and turned his head as Prussia grinned at him.

"Today is ze big day, mein liebe." He purred.

"Indeed it is." Frederick said, kissing his nation's cheek.

Prussia hummed in delight and nuzzled the soon-to-be-king's neck. The prince laughed and pulled his country away from him.

"How long is it until ve are expected downstairs?"

Prussia looked round at the golden clock. "About ten minutes."

Fritz smiled. "Zen ve best hurry. I cannot be late for my own coronation, can I?"

"Of course not, mein liebe."

They shared one last kiss before departing to join his family who were eagerly waiting for him to arrive. His mother and sister were waiting by the stairs, talking with a few of his father's servants. Wilhelmine smiled and hugged her brother as he came down the steps.

"How are you feeling?" she asked.

"Nervous...but zat's fair, every monarch vas vhen zey vere crowned."

"Yes," his mother said placing a comforting hand on her son' shoulder. "I, too, was nervous when I was crowned queen. But don't worry too much about it, my dear son. It will be over you know it."

"I hope so." Frederick sighed. Prussia clapped a hand on his shoulder.

"You'll be fine, Fritz. You von't screw it up. I believe you von't."

The Crowned Prince felt a little lighter at his country's words. "If you say so, Prussia."

Prussia winked at him and led his king to the carriage that waiting for them outside.

At the ballroom, after the ceremony and greeting his subjects, Frederick was sitting on his throne, looking around at the Prussian court. His wife, Elisabeth Christine, was in a group of her friends whom were congratulating her on being queen.

Well, it wouldn't be long until Frederick had his way and not bother with her anymore. Besides he had his own love that he cared for deeply more than his wife. And right now his love in general was striding towards him two glasses of wine in each hand. The king smiled at Prussia and took one of his glasses when he got near.

"Danke, Preuβen."

"Ya welcome mein king." the albino nation purred.

Frederick smiled and took a sip of his drink.

"So, vhat's it like being king, Fritzy?"

"Give me at least a few years in ze making und I'll get back to you on zat."

Prussia sniggered and drank from his glass. Frederick looked at the court as they ate, drank, talked and laughed. He felt Prussia secretly slide a hand into his and clasped it tightly. He didn't really care for the celebrations anymore, he just wanted to lock himself away in his room with Prussia and celebrate their own way. But if he did that then his mother and sister would be on his back and he would look bad on his first day as their king. But at least he wasn't like his father. Starting today, Frederick was going to rule Prussia his way and his way only. There was going to some changes also and he was no longer going to be living inside this gloomy castle anymore. He was going to work on designs of a palace of his own creation and stay there until the end of his days. With Prussia.

He lifted his clasped hand with Prussia's and kissed the nation's pale hand. The fingers trailed a path along his lips. The king smiled against the finger tips and pressed hidden kisses against the finger tips. He looked up at his beloved nation, who was smiling down at him. Frederick beckoned him down towards him.

"Ja, Fritzy." Prussia asked.

"Je t'aime, mon amour."

Prussia smiled. "Ich liebe dich, mein schatzi."

"I know you do. Zere's some zing zat I need you to tell you also."

"Und zat is?"

"I may be your king, Preuβen, but I am ze first servant to ze state."

The pale nation froze at these words. "V-vhat did you say?"

"Prussia, my dear kingdom, I am forever your servant."

"Fritz...I—I have no idea vhat to say." The nation breathed. He leaned down to make it as though he was whispering in his new monarch's ear. "Danke, mein liebe. You've made me so happy."

"Zat's good to know."

His straightened up and took a gulp from his glass. Frederick couldn't help but smile again. Maybe being king wasn't going to be such a bad thing after all, especially with what was to come for tonight.

A/N:

Hello, I'm back in the mix again with a brand new story along with my others. Presenting to you 'A Servant to His Nation'! The title was based on a famous quote said by good ol' Fritz himself – as mentioned in this chapter. Now, 1740 was the year that Frederick was crowned some time after his father, Frederick William, went and kicked the bucket! The things Fritz did when he was king made Prussia the mighty empire and strong kingdom that it was; without him it wouldn't have been possible. That's one of the many reasons of why I love this pairing and why the Awesome Prussia respects this man more than any other person in history. If you haven't yet or ever get the chance, read up on Fritz's life and you will be astounded by what this man accomplished when he was king.

By the way, long after I wrote this chapter and re-edit and re-read it I bought a little history book about Old Fritz, now, according to the book, he didn't have a special ceremony or any (and I quote) 'no mumbo-jumbo' and religion coronation. But I couldn't be bothered changing it, so this chapter may be historically inaccurate...depends how you think about during the start of the chapter and the little Prussia and Fritz moment, but I suppose you make it out that whatever Fritz did instead of the ceremony, happened in the little break.

Anyways, in this new story, I will be doing AU stories as well as Historical settings and pieces of Fritz's and Prussia's life. I do have a handful of ideas that I am already in the process of writing, including an amazing chapter! But that's the future, so you will be waiting a while for that. Also, if you so wish I'll be asking for requests if anyone has any, I'm not going to object. Oh, and also Happy Prussia/Fritz Day everyone! :D

Hope you enjoyed this. Reviews are love :)

M.S.P.
