11. Holy Roman Empire: Danke

Danke

Riding in those days was extremely dangerous, especially if he was for more than just a boy of noble birth .
Covered by a black cloak, like the wings of a crow.
He was the one who inspired fear in those who passed by his side.
Not the bandits, not mercenaries, not God
He, riding on top of the stud, it seemed a spirit of hell, who came down to earth to reclaim his power.
So also appeared to officials, as he crossed the dark corridors .
But not for that man .
Especially for the one who, in a few years, had managed in a large enterprise .
Frederick II Hohenstaufen .
A man.
Not a mere man, the wonder of the world for his court.
He, without any prediction as to whether the time, was one of many who had gathered under his throne the Empire.
The great Rome, the great Roman Empire .
Against all.
Daring to challenge even the pope.
But in those fights between Guelphs and Ghibellines, he had achieved what so many centuries the known world wanted.
Italy .
She.
That little white rosebud that wander among the streets of hers cities, regardless of a soul in torment which he longed to one of his eyes.
So for many centuries, the Holy Roman Empire secretly loved that nation, hoping for a future 'yes' .
And as he opened the large door in the great room, surrounded by the suffused glow of the candles, she was finally there.
A slow steps walked, past the coils of incense, staring into his eyes that small nation that had bowed before him .
Then, the Holy Roman Empire put a hand on his heart, a little nod, turned to his sovereign and a whisper in a language so far, from the Nordic region.

Danke

It was thanks to that emperor, if today he had been able to see, in those specks of gold, his love .
What he now had with him, now clutched convulsively in his hand.
It was thanks to him, if that day he had given his first kiss to beloved.
Thanks to him, his the first meeting with her.
Yet, today, without that man, he could have never said goodbye.

Hi guys !
I dedicate this chapter to all lovers of HRExITA .
As you can see, it describes how could be the first meeting between Italy and the Holy Roman Empire.
Frederick II head of the House of Hohenstaufen came to power not only in the Holy Roman Empire itself, but also in the Kingdom of Sicily, including the South Italy, and all of the towns of Northern Italy.
Without Frederick II, our little Holy Roman Empire couldn't meet her in person, or say goodbye to her in the future.
A warm greeting,
Sachi93 .
