Alfred held his arms out as the maids dressed him in the attire that was from his home kingdom. The sash was added and soon the bearer's vial over his eyes and the light blue fabric he could see through. Stepping down from the dresses stool he walked over to the mirror.

"Back to normal, I guess." Alfred said with a sigh.

It had been five days since he had woken up and now he was back in the Kingdom of his King Brother's preparing for the peace treaty party. Of course he wasn't invited but to be honest he wanted to go to the garden and sit with his other brothers.

It seemed like it had been years since he had sat with them in garden at the table they often shared, enjoying sweet lemonades or drinks, and all the little treats. Walking out of the room with servants behind him he made his way all the way down the stairs to the back of the castle. Seeing that the others were already there he picked up his pace but winced as he was still sore on his side.

Matthew looked up. "Alfred, how are you feeling?"

"A lot better!" Alfred smiled. "Thanks to the healers and the herbs I'm almost back to normal and the only thing is that my side is sore."

"As it should be!" Arthur yelled. "Jumping in front of a gun, what were you thinking?!"

"I was thinking that Gilbert was gonna die. Mattie, give me something to eat, I'm starving."

"We're not done talking about this."

"Yeah we are. Keep your mood swings to yourself, Arthur."

This continued for a while before Arthur gave up and returned to his room.

The party would be starting in a short while. The King watched them getting the last of the perorations ready. This was going to be grand for his people. However there was still something that was not dealt with and he was unsure on how to handle it. Sighing he rubbed his head.

"You haven't spoken a word to me since you've returned… what's my punishment? Hanging? Beheaded? Burning?"

The King turned around looked at the Queen who was tied to a chair. "I know not what to do with you yet. However you did do unspeakable things. Selling my brother would be on the top or the list but what you did to Fritz is extremely close. What I can't understand is why you would do something like this. It is beyond me."

"Beyond you? Beyond you?! Richard how do you think I felt?! You secretly are continuing to exchange feelings with him when I was your wife! Calling me his name in your sleep!"

"That has nothing to do with selling Alfred! You're lucky I haven't sent you to the dungeon or had you whipped! Do not forget the only reason you're alive right now is because Alfred managed to forgive you! I on the other hand have no intension on doing that!"

"Behead me than!"

"You will know your faith soon enough, love, mark my words."

With that Richard left the room and headed towards his own room. On his way he stopped to watch his brothers in the garden form a window. They seemed to be having fun but he noticed Arthur was not among them.

Knowing that his brother must have gone with his husband he left onward to his room. Opening the door he slammed it shut and took off his crown and set it on a red pillow that was just for the heavy object before going to a chair and sitting down and slouching.

Arms came around to hug him from above. Setting a hand over the arm he let out another frustrated sigh and looked up.

"I don't know what to do with him. Though it is legit that he is no longer the Queen there is still that fact that I have to pick a death sentence for him."

Nodding Fritz let go and walked over and poured them some wine. "It must be hard for you. After all those years of marriage."

"To be honest, love, it was more like a long agreement. We rarely spent time with each other. Ah, thank you. Now that I look back and think… I hardly know anything about my ex-wife. Perhaps neglecting him caused this."

"I think he was just after a tittle. You didn't pick well to replace me-"

"No, I did not replace you. I needed a Queen to ascend the thrown and I needed one to take over the care of my brothers. You were my first choice but you have a dream of your own. What write do I have to keep you here when you wanted so much to be free?"

Smiling Fritz settled next to him. "So, will you take me as your wife as soon as this is cleared?"

"Of course." Richard smiled. "However I think you're going to have to start wearing bearer clothes again."

"… I am not used to them anymore." Fritz frowned.

Chuckling Richard leaned over and kissed his lips.

Gilbert laid content in Ludwig's arms. They had spent the night making love and now it was early morning and he had woken up and was warm. Today he had to go back to the Kingdom of America since it was his home but the King Brother had accepted that fact they wanted to be married so they had to have an announcement about it.

Sighing softly as he felt hands run his back lovingly Gilbert looked up into blue eyes with a smile. How long have they waited to spend moments like this? He didn't know but now that it was here he didn't want it to end.

"How are you feeling?" Ludwig asked. "I wasn't too rough was I?"

"Nein. It was wonderful. Ludwig, now that you're King and all… will you change the laws about albinos?"

"It the first item on my list."

"Danke! Oh and one more thing."

"Ja?"

"Make love to me~"

"Finally! I hate being in there with nothing to do!" Alfred exclaimed climbing out of the carriage.

Ivan chuckled as he walked up to him and kissed him. "I'm surprised you didn't go insane."

"Me too." Alfred stretched. "Okay I'm ready to plan my wedding!"

"Da." Ivan smiled. "I have sent for the best planners in the Kingdom for you to pick from. Also I have so many chiefs that wish to make your cake for the wedding."

"Let's see them first! I hope they have samples~!" Alfred sang.

They two walked into the castle and headed into the room where everyone was waiting. Happily running over to the samples of cakes Alfred started to eat them. Ivan watched him for a while before helping him pick a cake.

As the day went on and the night came Alfred had said he was going to walk into the garden. Two cats followed him close behind. He walked over to the berries and looked over them. Picking a few he headed towards the small pawn and looked at the small black berries before picking some and putting them in a small pouch.

Going back he hummed to himself as he entered the castle and met up with Ivan. They headed towards a room where they were getting his wedding clothes ready. Bright white with trims of gold was perfect for him.

Standing there he let them cut, fit, sew, and stitch up his clothing until it was a perfect fit. Looking at the mirror he smiled. It was really happening. The date was coming soon and he would be the Queen of Russia. A thrilling feeling.

"Ivan?"

"Da?"

"I need to go home before the wedding. I want to spend some time there before we get married and be with my family."

"That can be arranged. When do you want to leave?"

"Tomorrow morning. I have something I need to take care of."

"I will have them prepare the carriage for you first thing in the morning."

"Thank you! " Alfred smiled.

"I just don't know."

"It's okay, liebe."

"No it's not. I have to choose how to kill him but for some reason I can't bring myself to do it or to banish him somewhere because of how will he survive? What to do…"

They continued to talk to each other but didn't notice someone watching them and the figure left and walked on to the room where the Queen was being held in. opening the door he walked in and locked it behind him and sat in a chair across from him.

The Queen looked up slowly before sighing. "What do you want?"

"I brought you some berries."

"Humph. You never brought me anything when you were a child…"

"That's because we never got along."

"…Their poisonous aren't they?"

"Yep."

"I wish other could see what I see, Alfred. That secret side to you that only I have seen."

Alfred smiled as he set the berried out in a bowel. The little black berries looked inviting since he had not eaten in three days. Looking up as the boy with blue eyes he sighed.

"Don't be too sad. This is better than being beheaded or hanged right? Besides I added some soft powder to it. It won't hurt at all. You'll just fall asleep and never wake up."

"So kind of you."

"The only reason I don't want you to suffer is because of my brothers. You were the only mother, Scott, Arthur and Matthew knew. I remember how you used to hold and love them. Not me of course. We never got along. But I can't stop thinking on how much they love you."

"You mean loved. They do not care for me now that they know what I have done."

Alfred sat back. "I wish that was true. Sadly the only reason they haven't been to see you was because King Brother order them not too. Arthur was crying as was Matthew. However we have a problem. King Brother can't kill you. I think he feels guilty because he wasn't loyal to you. Or that you took the place of mother for the my three brothers. So it's up to me to get rid of you."

"I see… nightshade berries, huh?"

"Yep. They powder in it will make it peaceful. So are you going to eat them or are you going to have a painful death?"

"I will eat them."

"Say, 'Ah.'"

"I wish they could see what I have seen form the start…"

Alfred just smiled as he smashed the berries up and placed the spoon to the dry lips. They opened slowly and he started to fed the ex-Queen. The other ate it slowly and he watched as he scooped up another spoon full.

"You were the only one who could see it. Then again you saw me do something and no one believed you about me. Here's another bite. Good. But I will say one thing. You were good to the others. Arthur's going to miss you the most and I'm sure you gonna miss him too. Open your mouth. You eating this rather well but if I was starved and had no water for four almost five days I guess eating nightshade would be wonderful."

They continued on for about five minutes until all the smashed berried were gone. Alfred grabbed the gored of water he had brought and let him drink as much as he wanted before putting it away and standing up and then untied the other and helped him to the bed and laid him down.

"I'm gonna be nice and set you of comfortable so you can die in peace. I'm just nice like that."

"… Sure you are. You help people and they become in your debt and then you call on them for it."

"Yep. I have almost everything I want now. I didn't' want to marry or become Queen but then I met Ivan. He's powerful, strong, his Kingdom is huge and were going to expand it. One day our Kingdom is going to be the most powerful Kingdom of them all! Too bad you won't be around to see it."

Alfred set him up in a way that anyone would take a peaceful sleep and even washed him and dressed him in the softest silk the Queen owned and pulled the covers up to the waist. And then adding the jewels Queen's normally wore and then set the crown on his head.

"There. Aren't you ready for the afterlife? Do me a favor and say hi to sir john for me. After all he was hung this morning."

"I wish they could see what I see. A child who I found drowning a puppies in the back of a stable while smiling like it was a game."

"I hate dogs. I like cats. Besides one of them bite one of my friends who lived in the slums. The dog could have had a sickness."

"You were smiling!"

"So?" Alfred sat back and waited. "It wasn't like I was unfamiliar with death. Now hurry up and die so I can leave."

"How I wish they could see…" The eyes began to drop a little. "They won't even know…"

Blue eyes looked down at him only about half a foot from his face that same bright smile. The smile faded into a small smug smile and the eyes arched a little as the world slowly began to blur around him and the heaviness of sleep began to take over.

"I wish they could see… the power hunger person you really are…"

Leaning over Alfred kissed the dead man's forehead before leaving out the door humming.

Yes. Yes Alfred killed the Queen.
