A/N: This may be a success, this may be a disappointment, but after all it is a story. Please read the A/N below.

To people crossed the bumpy path that hugged the scenery of a huge grey stone castle overgrown with tendrils of thorns and moss. One was of medium height, wore a big polished tophat and carried a walking cane in one hand while he held the hand of his much smaller also blonde haired companion. The child bounced happily around and made his brother smile. Suddenly the small one stopped on the path and stared wide-eyed at the castle.

"Arthur? What kind of castle is that?"

"Uh, that story once was told to me, Alfred. It is a long and kinda tragic one…"

"Tell me, tell me!"

"Well,", he scratched pretended behind his ear, "I'm not sure if I can, when you haven't taken your bath yet."

Alfred, his little brother, pouted: "But I don't want to take a bahath!"

"Well… I can't really remember the story that clearly…"

Alfred crossed his arms.

"What about we go home now, you take your bath and then I'll tell you this story, while you drink a big mug with hot milk with a lot of honey. Is this worth a bath?"

"Mhm…"

A candle warmed the face of the small child, sitting on the sofa covered in a huge soft blanket and almost dipping his nose into the mug of hot milk with honey he was holding in his hands. His hair was messy and slightly wet. His big brother sat down in a rocking chair opposite to him and crossed his legs.

"Now, tell me the story!"

Arthur smiled due to the demanding tone in his brother's voice.

"Fine, fine, where shall we begin…?"

A/N: This is going to be a more fairytale like story containing the pairings GerIta and PruAus (until now). It is still in the works (kind of), is of course taking place in an alternate universe. I am not really talented in writing chapters constantly, but I will try. I really want to thank you for being nonetheless so patient and generous with me.

Have a nice start into 2016 and stay healthy and happy 3.
