"You're going to be OK," Maria mumbled to a little girl in her arms.
The small child was shivering as she clutched the elder's shirt. She ran a hand through the child's silver blonde hair, attempting to soothe her. Next to her, cuddled into her side was a small brunette haired child. Little Molly was fast asleep by her side, and little Charlie was sitting terrified only a few feet away.
A boy of no more than 17 leaned against a doorway. He had wavy blonde hair and stunning blue eyes. He gave a cheery smile to the Austrian and said, "I hope you're not talking about keeping her safe from me. I'd never harm anyone."
Maria knew that wasn't true. The boy was a perv. He had once tried to grope Molly, but Hailey stopped him just in time, breaking his arm and making it clear that next time it would be more than just his arm. She had also seen him assaulted by many others trying to defend their person or people close to them.
"Just leave, Aurelian. Even Francis is better than you."
"Ouch! That's cold, ma chère. Good thing I just stopped in to say good morning. Francis and I have a social gathering to attend."
"Good."
"Oh, yes, that's right. I did come here for another reason," Aurelian playfully slapped his forehead. "Your prince wants to see you."
Maria made no move to leave. The teen wasn't about to leave three five year old girls with this pervert. Heck, she wasn't about to leave them alone at all. She looked over at Charlie, who was staring at her with fearful brown eyes. Her attention was turned to Eydis, who cried quietly into her shirt.
"Now!"
He moved towards Charlie and the little girl shot over to her and Molly. Maria settled Eydis next to Molly and gave Charlie a reassuring smile. She then gave in and followed Aurelian to where Gilbert was.
"Ah, Prinzessin! It's nice to see you again."
"I wish I could say the same," Maria replied coldly. "Make sure that pervert keeps away from the girls."
"I know I haven't always had the best relationship with Roderich, but I thought that we were good. And Aurelian isn't that bad!"
"We were," something clicked in Maria's head as she said this.
She knew that Hailey would be freaking out about Molly. This was her chance to get everyone home safely!
"We are," she sighed. "We have always been close. I just wish we were meeting under more favorable circumstances."
She took a seat in a nearby chair before saying, "I really don't appreciate being ambushed and drugged by a stranger in an ally. Makes one feel frightened."
No matter what his relationship with Roderich, Gilbert always liked Maria. She would patiently listen to his rants and complaints. She also played the flute, something they had in common. Frederick the Great had played the flute and even did some composing himself. It was nice to have someone else who appreciated his work.
"I really do love you like a daughter. What can I do for you to make you and the little ones comfortable? You seem to care a great deal for the others so just tell me and I'll see what I can do."
Maria made it look like a difficult decision before replying, "I would feel more comfortable if you took in Hailey too. She would grow to love you the way I always have."
…
"No. I will not stand for this. Hailey is not going to be here. I will not be under the same roof as her."
"Be reasonable, Aurelian. If we do this for her she can convince the others to accept us as their parents… we may never have to go through losing anyone again." Francis was so shaken at the thought of losing any more of his children that he was willing to accept the girl that had broken his arm into his heart.
"If you go to get her then I won't be here when you get back," Aurelian slammed the door on his way out.
"If you can find a way to get into America, without using one of my Armadas, then I'm game."
"She's always alone, but it's not like she needs protection. She just might be a worthy opponent for my awesomeness."
The plan was devised and the three of them set off for the United States.
