I was strolling the halls, passing servants and people. I was just waiting for the King of Prussia to fall asleep. Of course I had to wait for midnight but still. I just knew I would get away with this and if not with at least little punishment. I am Prussia and that means all of Prussia is my home so I'm not really breaking my grounding if I stay in bounds of the country! I went to Frederick's room and sat on his stool, spinning around in it. "What do you want Gilbert?" He asked.
"I'm bored!" I complained at him.
"Yeah well so am I. I want midnight to be here already. I need only wait thirty more minutes."
"Want to go for a stroll in the garden? Where is the party?"
"Just outside the palace!" I stared at him.
"You're friends with the commoners?" I asked, surprised. "I thought you hated commoners."
"I do but my friend is friends with a commoner." I nodded.
"Ah. That makes sense."
"About that stroll in the garden, I'll take you up on it. We can use the garden to sneak out." I smirked.
"You'll be the guest of honor. Isn't it just great to be a Prince?" I asked him.
"What about you?" He said, smiling.
"I'm the guest of honor everywhere." I told him. I stood up and he copied me.
"By the way, you're the best Prussia." I smiled.
"Of course I am. Thank you for the compliment though." I walked him down the stairs and out of the castle. No one but the servants were on the bottom floor. I opened the door and he left. I followed after him. I led him to the end of the gardens before helping him over the wall. I climbed over the wall by myself.
I fell on my ass but I didn't let that bother me. I stood up and dusted myself off as I led him between buildings, away from the castle but towards the palace gates. When we got there I observed the surroundings. Then I pointed to the closest building. "Go hide over there. I'll get the gates open." I told him. He obeyed. "Hey! You! Open the gates!" I ordered, angrily. They quickly went inside to obey I motioned to Frederick to move it and he did. I walked after him and smiled at Frederick as he came out from hiding.
"Thanks Gilbert. I can get back by myself. You should go home." He said. I looked back toward the castle. I couldn't possibly go back without the Prince. I'd be questioned by the servants. I shook my head at him.
"No, I'm not going back. I'll wait for you to finish your party. That means you have two hours. I'll be at the bar." I said, waving him off.
"Thanks Prussia!" He called. I smiled.
"Always glad to help."
…
I was throwing bar brawl after bar brawl, laughing as I did so. I'd gotten three drinks and I was now finishing off another. I smiled when I saw a familiar face walk into the bar. It was the Prince. I stood up and walked over to him.
"How was the party?" I asked.
"It was… great. For a while." He said, looking behind him. I looked over and saw Prince Henry.
"How the hell is he here?" I asked.
"Someone told me they saw you and the Prince walk into the garden and you didn't come back. So they woke me with worry and I looked around for you two and I got word that you had ordered the gates open two hours ago." Oh. Shit. "So I followed some clues and I found you here. I found Frederick dancing with some girl and a group of teenagers. Come with me Gilbert." I smirked at him. "The King will hear of this when he wakes up."
"I'm not worried. I did nothing wrong. Royalty come and go as they please." I said, standing up and walking out of the building.
"If that were so, why didn't Prince Frederick just tell his father that he wanted to go to a party?"
"Because it was a party with commoners. Duh!"
"Why did he get you to help sneak him out of the palace?" I narrowed my eyes at him.
"That's a trick question. I don't have to answer to you, you loser!" I quickened my pace and headed back to the castle. "Open the gates! Prince Henry is coming with Prince Frederick!" I told them. They got the gates open and Prince Henry and Prince Frederick walked into the palace and I followed them.
"Well thanks for the help, Gilbert. It was fun while it lasted." Frederick said. I smiled.
"You're welcome."
"Are you really not worried?" I smiled, throwing my hand in the air.
"Of course!" I said. "I'm awesome! I didn't do anything wrong! Fritz will understand. I'm sure he will. He's awesome like that. That's why he's called Fritz the Great! Or Frederick the Great if you want to say it that way." We reached the castle and Henry stopped, letting go of Frederick's ear. "You suck!" I shouted at him. "You're always going for the ear! Fritz doesn't even have to do that. He gets what he wants way better than you!" I shouted, approaching him. I was surprised that I didn't intimidate him. I stopped in my tracks at that thought.
"You two will go to bed." I scoffed at him.
"Fine!" I glared at him before turning around and heading up the stairs to my room. I changed into pajamas and laid in bed. "Damn Henry!" I complained. Well even if I didn't do anything wrong, disrespecting Henry the way I am is totally off limits. I can't help myself! Henry's such a jerk!
