Chapter eleven

The Queen smiled with triumph thinly covered by happiness as she greeted the nations, "It's so wonderful to see all of you here. And thank you for taking such good care of my dear Canada while you came. But I must say, he would have gotten here a lot faster if a certain England had not kept such a leash on him."

"Um...now what do we do?" France asked. Each of the nations had forgotten what they were supposed to be doing as soon as they saw her.

"That's a good question Frenchman, what were you thinking you would do to me?" the Queen asked cockily.

England shook his head before he looked over to Canada and asked, "Canada, do you remember her name? If so, now would be a good time to tell us!"

"No I-," Canada began only to be stopped by the Queen when she laughed and answered, "My name? Oh I see, then that shiny bit in your pocket must be silver correct. If it's my name you want so badly then I will say it; after all, I need to if I want to finish the spell I put on Canada. But first, Gilbert! Give me that chain of his."

Upon hearing the name, the group turned to Prussia; only to find their friend looking at his feet. After a moment's hesitation, Germany asked, "Brother, how does she know your true name?"

"He told it to one of my servants when he made a deal with her. And since I control the servant, I control their deal and everything associated with it. Now the chain, please, before I continue," The Queen answered as if talking to a child.

"Dude, didn't you read those rules. Don't make deals with fairies," America scolded.

"Like he needs you to scold him about reading rules. You most likely would not have known that unless Troll told you," England chastised, only to then look to Prussia as he felt the ex-nation take the silver chain from his pocket.

With the chain in hand, Prussia walked the few yards to the Queen and reluctantly held the chain up for her. She looked at it distastefully before telling him to hold onto it for her, but to not do anything to it.

"Mon ami, why are you doing this? I thought that you and Canada were friends," France asked Prussia confused.

"Sorry, but…they made me an offer too awesome to refuse. And they did say that they don't want to hurt him," Prussia answered, the guilt from the other's confused looks stopping him from looking at them.

"That is correct, and even though you failed to get them out of my realm like you promised I will give you one last chance to complete the deal. All I need you to do now is tell me all of their true names," the Queen replied.

"And what is he supposed to get in return for betraying his friends?" Norway asked.

Prussia did not respond right away, causing England to order him, "It doesn't matter, you won't get whatever it was you wanted, or at least not the way you wanted it. So you might as well forget about the deal."

"But even if it's warped, it still has to be better than the alternative, right?" Prussia asked.

"The alternative? And what would that be?" Germany asked.

"That's right Prussia, besides, there is nothing wrong with trying to keep oneself alive. Now, their names," the Queen butted in, causing all of the nations to pause and think about what they just heard.

"'Keep oneself alive'?" Canada asked.

"Look…we all knew that at some point it would happen since I'm not a nation anymore and less people are even learning that I was. But I guess I just wasn't ready to admit that and then this fairy comes around saying that they could stop it," Prussia explained with a look everyone could tell was filled with anxiety and sadness.

Another long pause followed this as the nations thought over what they just heard. At last Norway broke the silence by asking, "Would your life still be worth it if it means living without any of the people you care about there with you?"

Prussia snapped his head up to look at Norway in the eyes, a twinge of annoyance exposed on his face. A notion then came to him, causing him to reply, "The one who just spoke's true name is Lukas Bondevik. The American is Alfred Jones, England is Arthur Kirkland, France is Francis Bonnefoy, and Wes…Ludwig."

The others looked at him shocked that Prussia would actually tell the Queen their names, while the Queen simply smiled even more pleased. She then turned to Prussia and said, "Thank you, Gilbert. And know with their names I can safely finish the spell I put on Canada so long ago without worrying about any of them interfering. After that I will fulfill my end of the deal."

"And what are you going to do after that?" Germany demanded.

"Well, Canada will stay here with me. After all, it has been so long since I had good company outside of subjects; even counting before you put me to sleep. And I'm sure that once the spell is finished and he goes from a halfling to a full fae creature he will be very handsome," the Queen answered.

"So then you want Canada for...my, my, Canada you dog," France commented with a slight snicker.

"You know, that seems kinda...weird. I mean, as a fellow man I gotta congratulate him on getting such a looker to be obessed with him, but as his neighbor and brother I gotta stand against it. You're too crazy," America commented.

"To be expected. I mean, in the past whenever they took a human it was either to be their servant or to bring in more genes. I guess the possibility of a non-human or subject lover was just too much for her to pass on," England replied while shaking his head sadly.

the Queen frowned at them, realizing that she was being made fun of, only to then say, "Yes, well, since it seems that you have all had your little fun let's get the show under way."

"But wait, weren't you just listening?" America began as e walked forward to stop her. Upon seeing this, however, she simply snapped her fingers and ordered "freeze;" stopping almost every muscle in America's body.

The Queen then turned back to Canada and asked, "Are you ready, Matthew? It's time you changed for the better."

Canada paused and looked to the others. After a second of thought he said, "If I do, will you let them go?"

"If it will please you then I suppose I'll grant your wish."

"And if I'm not?"

"Then...I suppose we will simply have to wait until you are, since I have no intention of letting you go again."

Canada thought some more, only to then agree, "Okay then, I'm ready."

We'll stop here for now
