"You're so temper today, that rare of you, bruder. " Luzifer said while Gilen walked pass him into the living room, the bemused and excited tone from Luzifer made him frown.
He sank into sofa and said tiredly, "Don't take that tone with me, like I am your prey and you are ready to hunt."
"Then don't act the way that would stir up my interest on you, bruder."
Luzifer kept staring at him for few more minutes, searching for more furious on his face but failed.
Thus he just turned and stepped into kitchen to get some beers as Gilen had expected.
He always knows how to handle his brother rightly, Luzifer had interest in hunting down people that he thinks wouldn't be taken down too easily. And Gilen should be the nearest target around him, for the reason that he taught everything to Luzifer just like Gilbert had trained Ludwig. What's more was that he even taught Luzifer in a more cruel way than Gilbert did to Ludwig and pushed his younger brother into the edge of death almost everytime.
Therefore, for the sake to prevent himself from being attack by Luzifer, he manage ed to pretend that all his skills got rusty after WW2 when it's completely untrue. But who cares, he had lied almost everything in his whole life and to act like harmless air in his house just a small one.
And he heard that Gilbert had done the same, acting like normal people like those bloody years never existed and take care the house chores while his brother gone for work like Gilen did.
They still share some similarities after all.
He took the controller and opened up TV when Luzifer sat beside him with beer in hand, there was a history program about Germany history showing on the TV. He paused for a second before changed into another movie channel, that was probably what he was watching before Luzifer came back home, also probably the reason why those old memories just came up suddenly, DAMN IT.
He just sat there with Luzifer quietly and looking into TV blankly for a long time.
The years of WW2 was his second-most-dreadful years in his life.
With Ludwig's people gone completely insane under that bastard Hitler's control, Ludwig himself was totally puzzled, too. He obeyed his boss with a judgment of five-year-old and let Luzifer took control of all military forces to kill his own people, which was actually tended to suicide himself. However, Gilen can do nothing about it.
That was probably the best years of Luzifer 's life, though. He has a love in war, battle and killing. He also made his first group of friends during those years, too. The counterpart of Japan and Italy.
And Gilbert's most furious years in his whole life, probably.
At that time, Gilen had no choice but to follow the orders to stay by Gilbert 's side to take care of the east. Hearing Gilbert cursed everytime when that bastard Hitler made any command on them. Ruby eyes filled with furious but unable to refuse every order. They always knew better than humans did, but they were not allowed to make decisions. Their wills were controlled by the humans. That was probably the most unbearable rules for nations when they knew their leaders were insane but have no choice and followed.
They gave Gilen military forces, too. Humans expected him to act like Luzifer, which he didn't. The humans just don't understand(even now they don't), he is the counterpart of Gilbert and that means he has almost opposite personality to Gilbert. With Gilbert already aggressive, he was the more peaceful one and more into the ruses behind. Eventually, he just let Gilbert controlled the military and pretended it was him. And since the state of WW2 almost has nothing to do with the underground agreements, he just gone quiet and shadowy like he always did.
That can almost call a short vocation in his life, but Gilen was just kind of waiting to be defeated and lost everything when the war end, especially when they attacked that damn Russia, he really thought it would be the end of his life.
The United Nations later then decided to dissolved and abolished Prussia officially at 1947. They blamed Prussia for all of it when they all knew the accusation was bullshit. What the fuck was that older brother should discipline the younger one and when failed he should be responsible for all the things his younger brother had done? NONSENSE. They all knew that it should be that fucking Hitler be responsible for driving Germany crazy but that man just suicide. And people need some punishments to be done.
That day when Gilbert was supposed to be executed, the other nations didn't even bother to executed Gilen as well, since the counterpart would disappear as soon as the other died. Shadow don't exist when light don't. Thus, he just stood aside and watched US pulled out his gun and pointed at Gilbert, ready to end their lives.
Suddenly, he just couldn't accept it.
He can accept to die because Prussia was not really a country anymore when Hilter abolished Prussia's constitution and conference at 1933, leaving only the administrations to run. But he can't accept to die because of some bullshit accusation and responsibility.
That was probably why he just rushed forward to pushed Gilbert away as the gun fired, bullet hit hard into his shoulder but he didn't care about the outburst of burning pain and blood dripping down. He had gone through far more worst than that.
"Wiped out his name and renamed him East Germany or something," he said when everyone looking at him unbelievably , "Since you guys are ripping his territory into Russia and make an East Germany or whatever country by that, it shouldn't be hard to make him that new nation. He had survived in renamed in the past, it should work, too."
"But the sentence was made and you have no authority to -"
"Well, I would like that," Ivan smiled happily and interrupted Alfred's protest, "It wouldn't contradict the sentence. If he becomes East Germany, Prussia certainly doesn't exist as well. I'm looking forward to that, it should be good to have you two in my house. "
Gilbert's ruby eyes glared at Gilen with silent anger.
He glared back and suddenly shot a look at Ludwig, leading Gilbert look at his younger brother, too.
Gilbert would accept it when he saw how relieved Ludwig looked when Russia agreed with his suggestion and how many nations had to grab Ludwig in place to keep him from interfering the execution.
And he would deal with Russia later.
