Kongeriget Danmark
Chapter 3: Disarray
Life in its purest form is happiness, its delicate form, joy, and its sheer form, euphoria…
Death in its purest form is sadness, its delicate form, mourning, and its sheer form, revenge…
When Matthias arrived in Dragsholm, he removed his disguise and went to his room. He watched as how busy the city is by his window-side. He saw the different balloons and streamers, he heard the blaring Danish music he so loved and felt the excitement from the occasion. But as he felt the spark of excitement, he immediately dismissed it. He had no time to deal with emotions. His plan was finally going his way, and he had no time for distractions. He had to do the second stage of his plan, to show up at their faces, with his changed form, of course, and confront them.
He wanted revenge. He wanted them to know that he was tired of the abandonment and loneliness he felt. He wanted them to know what it felt, how it feels like to be left by your only loved ones, and having your identity used against you. They needed to know, and he will gladly give it to them, not on a silver platter though.
He heard a knock on the huge door, and again, being a Dane, he went to get the door. To his surprise, the same mailman was standing in front of him, holding a letter. He then was surprised at the event. Why did he receive a letter from the Prime Minister, why so is it urgent? He then did what he did with the first, and to his surprise, the Nordics are somehow believing whatever the government gave them. He held small hope onto this, for he knew Lukas always has the closest hunches among them. He needed to revise a small thing in the plan. After planning, he got his coat and went off, to see the Nordics.
In Copenhagen
The Nordics settled in a fancy hotel near the airport after being handled by the government and its entourage. Each went to their respective rooms and did their own business. Lukas, however, was thinking. He couldn't place in his mind who the person was. What did the person have that on only one meeting did he had a great impact to Lukas? He needed to know who the person was, to settle the feeling he felt on their encounter. He then heard a knock on his apartment door. He first put on his own coat then went to the door.
"Who is it?" Lukas asked grumpily.
"It's me." Matthias replied blankly.
Upon hearing the voice, Lukas was shocked inwardly and opened the door. He saw the Dane, but not in his happy mood. He was puzzled, so he did what his impulse told him. He went on to grab the Dane's tie, but to his surprise, he was stopped by the Dane. He then dragged the Dane inside and slammed him to the wall.
"Where the hell were you?! Were you not aware of the changes in Scandinavia?!" Lukas asked angrily.
Matthias gave no reply from Lukas' questioning. He instead looked him in the eyes, showing a blank expression.
Enraged, Lukas cursed in Norwegian. Matthias just looked at him blankly. Lukas then calmed down and dragged the Dane to the couch. Matthias reluctantly followed Lukas and sat down.
"What's with you Matthias?! Why aren't you talking?!" Lukas commented.
Still there was no response, so the Norwegian just had to let it slide. He then told the Dane to stay on the couch, and then he went to fetch the others, so that they could be with Matthias again. Sure, the Norwegian was quite insensitive, but he somewhat longed for the Dane's annoying persona to be with them. After a few minutes, Lukas finally got Berwald, Tino and Emil to come to his room, much to Berwald's dismay. They went in, and saw Matthias sitting on a couch and reading a magazine. Tino immediate went to Matthias to greet and hug him, exclaiming how much he missed the Dane, Berwald annoyingly grunted due to the Finn's actions toward the Dane, and Emil standing beside Berwald. Upon receiving the hug, Matthias hugged back reluctantly and went on to reading after being hugged. He just ignored the others and went on with his reading until he was finished. Berwald immediately left with Emil, exclaiming that he had nothing to do with the Dane, and Emil agreed so. Tino hesitantly followed, persuading the two to come back and spend time with Matthias.
"Matthias! This isn't a joke! Why aren't you talking?!" Lukas somehow blurted in anger.
Upon hearing so, Matthias just ignored the Norwegian and proceeded to leave him alone. He expected a bit more from the guy, but alas, Matthias was disappointed. He wanted Lukas to snap. He wanted his reaction so that he can lash back harder, stronger better.
Shocked at the Dane's reaction, Lukas just put the thought off and went to trying on answering his main problem. After a few minutes, he finally found one trait in Matthias, that he not only show to him, but to the others as well. Lukas noticed how Matthias acted. Matthias became a person like him, devoid of joy and emotions, socially inert and insensitive. The only thing that hinders Lukas on finding the answer is the reason why. Now that the Dane is with him, he would gladly take the time to grill the answers out of Matthias, one way or another.
Little does he know that the answer he will find is the problem he started.
And little will the world know that the impulsive Norwegian will set things worse.
The answer to the problem is not always the solution…
But the answer itself may be the bigger problem…
And the solution to that will determine the next…
