"Brother?" I turn to face Holy Roman Empire. He was leaning aginst a tree with his book. He had paused in reading to me.
"What's wrong Luddy?" I had been lying in the sun on the grass, and now propped my self up on my elbow so I could see him better. Though he lived with our brother Rodrich, better know as Austria, I still made a point to try and visit him at least every other day and take him on trips.
"Well... I was thinking. When we're older, we will still be brothers right?" I smiled.
"Of course we'll be brothers. You can't change who your family is." Ludwig didn't seem comforted by this. Instead he seemed even more concerned, as he started to squint in frustration.
"But Gilbert, Austria is our brother. Swisterland and lily are our half sibling too, but you don't act like their your siblings. You are nice to Lily like you are to me but you don't go see her as often as you see me." He paused to think of another way to word his question so I would understand. "Will we still be able to continue seeing each other the same way we do now no matter what happen? You won't start treating me like Rodrich?"
The kid had a point. Austria and I are twins but I don't consider him my brother at all. Van I can put up with every once in a whileand Lily was a doll when you could get her away from her brother, but I am not as fond of either of them as you would expect an older brother to be. But in my eyes, Ludwig could do no wrong. I doubted anything would change that.
"Ludwig, I promise no matter what I will act the same way to you as I do now." I looked him dead in the eye as I said this, my normally cocky grin gone.
"Even when I am a really big empire and am married to Italy?" It took all my will power not to burst out laughing that he still thought little Feliciono was a girl as I nodded. "What if I act completely different?"
"I would treat you like my baby brother Ludwig and try to make you change back to the way you are. I would never let anything bad happen to you. I would die if it ment you would be ok." He seemed saticfied with me answer and smiled his bright smile.
"I would do the same for you too, Gilbert." I nodded but added in my head 'not if I do it for you first.'
