We were having breakfast and I was being asked questions by Augustus. I already liked him. He seemed like a guy who liked making mischief. Which of course meant I liked him. Not because he's a trouble maker but because he isn't so clingy to the rules. I don't like rules myself. Of course I could tell Prince Frederick didn't like the idea of me making another friend.
"I suppose my brother has taught you how to be a musician of some sort?" Augustus asked. I nodded.
"I've been taught how to play basically every instrument. Even the stupid piano. That's Austria's favourite instrument." I replied, making a face at the name Austria.
"What's so bad about Austria? I find it a good place to spy and have some fun. Have you seen the sights of Austria? You should try Vienna."
"Isn't that the capital of Austria?" I asked. He nodded. "No way!" I told him. I started eating my breakfast.
"It's also where I hear Austria lives, with his boss. I was thinking we could go there together maybe. What do you think? Eggs or tomatoes?"
"Augustus! Don't give the boy any ideas." Fritz demanded.
"I wasn't going to tell him what we would be doing with them Frederick." Augustus replied, smirking at Fritz. Cocky bastard.
"Just do what Fritz tells you." I said, sticking egg in my mouth.
"And you do?" He asked, giving me a friendly smile. I smirked at him.
"Yes. Most of the time anyway. When it counts."
"And does this matter?"
"Yes." There was no way he was tricking me into getting a scolding by Fritz!
"So tell me… what type of things do you do anyway?"
"A lot of things."
"What's your favourite thing to do?"
"Play with Fritz." I answered automatically.
"Do you have a least favourite thing to do?"
"… I suppose you could say having to follow rules is?" I replied.
"Brilliant. Then I have an idea. One you will love." Fritz gave him a look. He gulped before shaking his head.
"But following rules is important, aren't they Gilbert?" Fritz asked. I nodded.
"Yes Your Majesty Fritz." I replied. I said it only to make him happy. I did not really mean to say that he was right.
"You can tell me later." Augustus said, giving me a wink. I grinned. Clearly he had some type of plan to have some fun. I really like this guy. He's like the exact opposite of Fritz!
