HELLO~! I am Alix.
This is my first fanfiction, so please no flames. Give criticism if you will. But be nice about it. THANK YOU~!
The sun was setting. It's golden glow just barely showing through the clouds. The servants slowly lit the lamps guiding to the large medieval castle. The cooks were preparing the large supper held by the Queen Consort. The maids were busy sweeping the array of leaves on the courtyard. And as the sound of sweeping, the strong smell of roasting meat and the familiar glow of light illuminated from the hung lamps, a beautiful girl sat in the garden.
She was beautiful, without a doubt; ash blonde hair just slightly below her shoulders, skin so fair and smooth and mesmerizing hazel brown eyes. But despite her beautiful features, she remained simple. Wearing only a cream-colored dress with a tight brown corset and bohemian boots, she quietly read her books on the soft green grass.
"Princesa Laila!" A tall green eyed man came bouncing down a path of roses.
"ANTONIO. YOU FREAKING BASTARD. MY FLOWERS." Greenland glared at Antonio.
"I apologize, princesa." Spain bowed, looking rather ashamed about ruining his ward's flowers. "Your stepmother called for you. She says to come to dinner."
"Why should I? She would just insult me and send me away with court laughing behind my back." Greenland said. "And I would rather wait for Father to return."
Antonio softened at the young princess's love for her father. "You know your father. He's of fighting a war. You should be proud of him."
"Still, I don't want to be abused by her again. I just want to wait for my father. Ask the servants to bring out food. I'll eat here." Laila said, shooing Spain away with her hand.
"Are you sure, princesa?" He said with great hesitance. He has worked for the Queen long enough to know how much she despised her stepdaughter. It was sad really, Laila was only seven when her mother died then her father married a devil of a woman because the Dowager Princess wanted her only son to have good relations with Russia; and since the Russian princess's arrival, she has abused, hurt, insulted Laila till her eyes were flooded with tears.
But not in a few days, not anymore, Laila thought. Father is coming home. Everything would be alright again.
"I'll get your dinner, princesa." Spain bowed and slowly retreated. He glanced back at the girl. Laila, I hope your father is alright. Without them, you're just waiting for your life to change.
"Join me." Laila whispered. Spain turned around and raised his eyebrow.
"I'm your guard, princesa. I must watch over you." Spain spoke the line he's been fed to say his entire life.
"I just don't want to be alone." Laila said, closing her eyes. "I wish Mother were here."
Spain sat down beside her and pulled her into his embrace. Laila softly cried. "I want Mother. I want to see my mother."
"I know, princesa." Spain softly said, caressing her hair.
Spain has always been the one to comfort Greenland. It was a platonic affair, but everyone knew how much Spain loved and was dedicated to the princess. He hoped one day she would find herself and leave her life here and find the happiness that she deserved. And hopefully, the day she left, it would be with him.
"Think of it this way, your father is coming home. Be happy." Spain said, trying to brighten the crying Greenland. He lifted her chin and wiped her tears with his thumb.
"BUT MOTHER STILL ISN'T HERE IS SHE?" Greenland cried, burying her face into Spain's shirt.
Spain rolled his green eyes. This girl, he thought. "Stop crying, princesa. We're in the garden remember? Let's talk about this later."
Greenland nodded as she stood up. She wiped her tears with the back of her hand and smiled reluctantly. "I wonder when Father will be back. When do you think he'll be back, Antonio?" She asked childishly.
"I'm not sure, princesa." Spain said. "Come let us go."
The Greenlandic princess nodded and stood up, brushing pieces of grass from the skirt of her dress.
Two days later…
It was a beautiful day in the Nordic castle. Spain was just explaining things to the guards in the Grand Hall when…
"Antonio! The men in the guard tower said they saw father's carriage nearby! HE MUST BE NEARBY!" Greenland screamed, pouncing on Spain's back.
"No shit, Sherlock." Spain rolled his eyes as Greenland got off Spain's back and turned to look at him.
Greenland frowned and smacked the back of Spain's head. "YOU DARE CURSE? HAVE YOU NO SHAME?" She scolded him. Spain just smirked.
"Come. Let us go." Greenland said.
"Come? Oh sure. Which room do you want to do it in?" A very Asian-like voice said behind them. Spain and Greenland turned to see South Korea grinning behind them.
"IM YONG SOO. WHERE THE FUCK HAVE YOU FUCKING BEEN, YOU FUCKING ASSHOLE." Spain shouted, grabbing a tomato from his back and throwing it at South Korea. South Korea neatly dodged it.
"Flying tomatoes. Normal, don't worry guys." Greenland murmured turning away. "I'm going to greet Father now! The men saw Father's carriage from the guard tower."
"UNCLE YAO IS BACK?" South Korea screamed and ran like lightning out of the Grand Hall.
As the entrance to the castle opened, one by one the carriages passed until Greenland's father's carriage finally came.
Spain saw the happiness in Greenland's eyes. He and South Korea looked at each other. They both knew how much the princess loved her father. He was all she had left.
But King Yao wasn't in his carriage. Instead a precession of grief stricken soldiers came in carrying their beloved king's casket.
South Korea and Spain heard Greenland's gasp as she saw her father's mangled corpse. Spain saw the little tears coming out of her eyes.
No. Not King Yao too. Spain thought. It was already bad enough with her mother gone, now her father too. Spain knew it was just a few more seconds until Greenland broke down.
"FATHER! NO!" Greenland screamed, she ran towards the casket. The soldiers knew how much the princess loved her father, they backed away from the casket as soon as they set it do the ground.
And Greenland just stared at the casket. Tears flowing down, she knew that was it. She had only Spain and South Korea and only God knew how long that would last.
This is it. Greenland realized. She turned away to see the grim faces of South Korea and Spain.
And behind them was a tall Russian woman.
"My queen." Greenland, South Korea and Spain muttered as they bowed down.
The Russian woman smirked. "My subjects."
Well... Wasn't that interesting? This chapter is pretty serious. Just an intro really. The rest of the story is suppose to be all silly and stuff.
Thank you for reading! Please review!
