Everything's Complicated

Chapter 1

In Austria

It was early in the morning, but Roderich cannot get his mind out of a certain topic that keeps on crossing his mind ever since last night that his boss, Maximillian gave him a not so "good" good news.

"Of all the other nations around, why does it have to be him?"

(Yesterday morning)

While he is sitting comfortably in the living room drinking his tea, his king, Maximillian suddenly entered the room and sitted himself across the nation.

"Austria, Phillip has to marry Ferdinand's young daughter, Juana, in order to strengthen the Hapsburg's power to threaten the French's growing power, therefore, you have to marry that country, Spain. And I will not appreciate to hear your expression of defiance about this, and oh yes, no buts, no ands, and definitely, no nos." Maximillian spoke at a hurry, not wanting his nation to interrupt his well prepared speech that took him long hours just to have courage in order to say, who would ever want to suggest about marrying another man? He must be crazy.

"I am quite positive to think that I will not have the freedom to say my opinion, as you speak, but aren't you a bit in a hurry? Maybe we should be pondering about this first, I think." The nation answered calmly, sipping in his Oolong tea that he prepared with Apfel Struddel.

Maximillian was speechless, wasn't Austria supposed to defy his somewhat foolish request just to gain more power? Moreover, it is about marriage, not just some simple union. But he is completely calm, that that calmness is making him nervous.

"Are we done" the nation began to stood.

"Y-yes, certainly, yes" Maximillian stuttered, the frail look in his nation's face is starting to make his stomach churn, "Is this karma?" he thought, then, curiosity hit him. "W-where are you going?"

"Oh, sorry, I would be going to the music room, are you going to be using it?" Roderich answered, surprised at his king's stutter and at the same time, his question.

"And what are you going to play?" his king added.

"Chopin, I'll play Chopin today." He answered.

"For the whole day?" Maximillian knew that his question is starting to sound stupid, but he has to know.

"Yes, definitely, the whole day." The nation answered exasperatedly, he doesn't know why his king is starting to get annoying by the minute. "Why are you asking? Do you want me to do something for the day?"

"No, nothing, it's just that…." The king stopped, and then released a big sigh "Just enjoy your free day today. You will not be given any work, but I expect you to think about this certain matter, but remember, you can't say no." he finished and approached the door, their conversation playing in his mind, "I knew it, he is upset. He only plays Chopin when his mind is troubled and is full of uncertainties and doubt."

Austria bowed his head as he waited for his king to exit the room. The he started to go walk to the music room, his mind was running with a million thoughts. "Will Spain agree?" "Will the marriage be a grand one?" "Is Spain going to be a good husband?" He paused, "Am I questioning my own gender?" he smiled, many had already doubt the gender where he belonged, but this is not the right time to be thinking about sexuality, and then he continued to walk, "What will the other nations think?" "What will Gilbert say?" And then in hit him, Gilbert. "What is Gilbert going to react about this?" "Will he get angry?" "Will he be upset?" "Or he will be happy because I am going to be married?" he sighed, "Oh forget it, he doesn't even care."

And then, he hit the door.

"Oh!" some maids that are cleaning nearby run to his aid and started to ask questions.

"No, I'm fine, I just hit the door, I wasn't looking, I was spacing out, and sorry to bother you all, please go back to your duties." He said in a hurry making sure to say all the possible excuses so that the maids will leave him without any further questions. And when everyone left, he entered the room, get some music sheets and a violin and proceed to his room, he didn't go down for dinner that night.

The next day, he decided to stay at his own villa at the countryside in Salzburg to clear up his mind.

In Spain

It's just two in the morning, but Antonio already find it hard to sleep after hearing the important news that his king would really want him to know.

(Yesterday morning)

Spain and his king are quietly sitting inside the king's private room for special guests, both are reading books, and are in a deep thought when suddenly, Ferdinand started to speak.

"Spain, would you mind if I ask you to marry a guy?" His king, Ferdinand asked out of the blue.

"Well, I think, since I am a nation, I wouldn't, haha, but i can change my view if you make sure that this guy you are talking about is pretty, and is going to be a good and loving wife to me." The nation answered, he thought it was just a joke, so he answered without hesitation, but the question was just too weird that he didn't notice the hidden truth behind his king's questions. "Oh Ferdinand, I was just kidding, I am a nation, I cannot be seen that I was married to a human, that would cause a ruckus, and besides, I don't know if a nation and a human is going to be allowed to marry", he was expecting his king to laugh or even let out a small smile to show his amusement, and say that he was just kidding him, but he realized that his king was serious.

"Then what if it's a nation I am talking about, would you consider?"

"Maybe, if it's the monarch's decision, and if it's going to be beneficial for all, why not?" The nation answered, worry building up in his voice, why is his king so serious? Why is he asking these things?

Ferdinand lowered his gaze, thinking if saying the important now is going to be good. "So, you are okay if you marry another nation to gain more land and power?"

"Yes"

"Would you mind if it's a male nation?"

"What? Are you talking about France?"

"No, no, not him, another one, who is going to be willing to help us, now that the French power is gaining a large growth, which is to say, very threatening in my view." His king explained

"Why are we going in circles? Can you just tell me directly where is this talk going? " Spain said, his cheery nature completely faded, this conversation is something that is hard for his king to say.

"Ok, if you wish." The king said clearing his throat, and taking a big breath, he started.

"You, Antonio, will have to make sure, that Infanta Juana will marry Phillip, the son of Maximillian, king of Hapsburg Austria, the marriage between the two will make you marry that country, Austria. I would like you to think about this first, but, I expect you be with me on this plan, because we are going to do this for the people." He paused, looked at the nation in the eye, "Take your time." He sighed, and with that, he stands up and approached the door, but paused to add something, "Please bear in mind, that even if you refuse, next week, hhhmm.., maybe eight days from now, you will be meeting Austria to formally talk to him about this matter, and maybe, with luck, by the end of the day, you should have asked for his hand in marriage, properly. Remember, I would be expecting a lot from you." He paused, looked at his watch, and focused his view to the nation again, "Take this day off, do whatever you wish, but, I would like to hear good news from my messenger about you." He smiled, turned, and completely left.

Antonio was dumbfounded, Ferdinand didn't even gave him a chance to say his opinion, he just talk and talk, and then leave. Sure he said that he can make the decision of his own, if he doesn't like to, then don't, but the hidden meaning in his kings announcement hit him hard, he clearly said it, and he said, he want him to marry Austria, whether he likes it or not.

He was sure, he won't be getting enough sleep for today onwards, until maybe this issue was settled.

So, there you go guys, read and review, if you have any questions or complaints just pm me.
