The instant I walked back into the castle I got jumped. I smiled. It was Prince Peter and Princess Anna. Prince Frederick on the other hand, who seemed to hold the same aura of obedience as my Fritz, just shook his head.
"Get off of Gilbert." He said. They stood up and I was greeted by my King and Queen. King William and Queen Victoria Gauk. She had red hair and blue eyes while her husband had blue eyes and blonde hair. She came from Germany. Every third generation of Princes of Prussia would marry a daughter of the Not King (President) of Germany. It was to keep the civilians of Prussia loyal to Germany and to keep Germany in the kingdom business.
"Well Gilbert?" His Majesty said. "What happened at the meeting?"
"I hid from Germany." I replied, smiling up at them. "Okay well we came to a conclusion. What it is I don't know. I didn't listen. I'm sure Germany knows." I replied. I got up off the floor and turned to the young royalty. "Wanna go play?" I asked excitedly.
"Always!" Prince Peter answered, running around me. "I'm so glad you're back! Can we have a beer float now? Can we? Can we? Can we?"
"Ja!"
"No! Prussia has to stay here until I hear from Germany what happened in the meeting." William said. I scoffed at him.
"In your dreams! I wanna play with the kids."
"I don't care. I'm your boss and you do what I tell you!" I glared at him instantly.
"You're not mein boss! You're King of Prussia!"
"That makes me your boss, because you are Prussia." I crossed my arms. I wasn't planning on anything but I refused to do whatever it was he wanted me to do. He reminded me of Prince Frederick George when I finally learned his true colors. He almost undid the things that-… He… Fritz… the things he did.
"I don't care." I replied. "It doesn't make you mein boss." My boss is… with God. I headed into the kitchen as I heard him groan and walk the other way. His wife followed him, giving me a dirty look. I don't care. I'm used to it.
I'll follow the king but not the way I used to. None of them remember Fritz. None of them care about what Fritz did! It almost broke my heart that no one remembers him. Which is kind of why I'm glad that the next in line for the throne is Prince Frederick. I'd make sure to obey his every word. Since he reminded me of my Fritz anyway. Prince Peter would be my side kick and Princess Anna was going to leave and go marry some Prince from a different country.
Now Princess Anna wanted to play with me every day, every hour. That was all good with me except one problem… she would end up leaving and then she could only see me every now and then. The rest of the world had moved on from kingdoms which was good for them I guess but I refused to move on because of Fritz… the problem I had with how much she seemed to like me is that I wouldn't be able to see her every day and she should know this but her parents wouldn't tell her and I was forbidden to. Another thing that bothered me was how much affection she seemed to have for me…
I walked into the kitchen and pulled out some cups, beer, ice cream, and whipped cream. I poured the beer into Anna's first because that's how she liked hers. I then put ice cream into the cup and then put lots of whipped cream on top. For Prince Frederick, I put ice cream in the cup before pouring the beer and topped it off with more ice cream and lots of whipped cream. Prince Peter liked his with the ice cream first, then the drink(beer), and finally the whipped cream. I handed them their beer floats with a straw stuffed in the whipped cream with a cherry on top and a spoon.
"Thanks Gilbert." Peter said, quickly digging into his float.
"Yeah, thanks Gilbert." Anna dug into hers.
"Thank you Gilbert." Frederick said, smiling at me. I stared at Frederick before quickly looking away to make myself one and put the other stuff up. I quickly began eating mine because the whipped cream usually seems to melt fast.
"Ew." Peter said, sticking his tongue out when he finally got to the ice cream and beer, all the whipped cream was gone. Then he dug the spoon back in and quickly took another three bites before spitting his tongue out in disgust.
"Real men drink beer, Peter. You're supposed to like it." I smirked. I've been teaching them the things I learned from Fritz. Though admittedly I'm trying to hide from Fritz the fact that I've dabbled in the coffee business this century. I've dabbled until I found a favorite flavor and then I've experimented with that flavor. I don't drink coffee much though and when I do I quickly go out and have at least five beers to cover up the scent of coffee on my breath.
"She's right Peter." I said, smiling. "Real men drink beer so I suggest you learn to hold your liquor. Your father did." They both looked at me, smiling.
"Yay! Tell us the story of how you got Dad to drink!" He's one of those who are against drinking beer. It's weird but he's the king. I was about to start the story of when I snuck King William, then Prince William, out of the palace to go have his first drink of beer against the orders of his mother when the King and Queen entered. Thankfully we were all done with our floats.
"Gilbert, I demand to know what you did during that meeting."
"I was playing with Spain and France. They didn't know what was going on either so don't worry." I answered.
"I had ordered you to find out, I even ordered you to attend that meeting!" I shrugged.
"My bad."
"No beer for a week!" He said and then he left the room. I glared at him as he left.
"I'm not following that order, My King."
"You should. It's not fair to Germany that we have to call him to find out the verdict of a meeting that you yourself went to in the beginning." I rolled my eyes at her.
"Germany doesn't mind. He's used to it, My Queen." She turned around.
"I expect you to follow my husband's order, your boss' order." She left the kitchen. "Come children, it's time for your bath."
"Their teenagers!" I shouted at her. However my friends all turned and left. Anna gave me a kiss on my cheek before she left. I watched them leave, crossing my arms in anger. Fritz! I wish you were here to keep your kids in line!
