Chapter 4

~Year 1523, 6th of June

I'm a free country. Free! I'm finally free from Mathias! His tyranny ends today! I no longer need to listen to him. It will be just me, and no one else!

Or, at least that's what I thought. I would have been alone if it wasn't for Finland, or whatever his name is. He suddenly started following me, leaving the others behind. I have no idea what he's trying to accomplish, but I will find out sooner or later.

'He's kinda cute though. Blonde hair, big, violet eyes, shorter than me and -! Stop it Berwald! Just what are you thinking about?!'

Once I got the chance, I ran away from Mathias. He was always bossing me around, making me do stuff that he didn't want to. I hated every second of that Union.

We finally sit down on top of a hill. It's quite dark outside, so I guess it must be pretty late. Finland sits to my left, looking like he wants to say something.

"Well, it's good that we're out of Denmark's house, but what are we going to do from now on? It's kinda scary because we're surrounded by such strong countries. It's making me feel really uneasy for what lies ahead..." Finland says. He actually talks quite a lot, but not loudly like Mathias.

"Ah! I-I don't mean that being with you makes me uneasy! "

When he notices that I'm still quiet, he continues - though a bit shakily.

"We-well, there's no use worrying about it now. Let's just get some rest for today, okay?"

I can tell that he's scared, but I don't know why or what he's scared of. It's probably the fact that we're outside. It has to be that, otherwise I don't know.

"If that's... If that's what you want to do."

"Al-alright then, good night, Su-san"

He leans back onto the ground. I also prepare to lay myself down on the grass, but there's one thing that has made me curious.

'Where did Su-san come from?'

When I turn to face him, he suddenly opens one eye.

"Ohyaaaaaaaaaaah... Ahahahaha!"

He suddenly screams out, trying his best to cover his scream with a laugh. I wonder what's scaring him.

"Th-the moon sure is beautiful!"

He's trying to strike up a conversation. If think he's probably trying to make me forget that scream of his, or make me talk.

"Don't say?"

I know I'm supposedly a great talker, but that's only when it comes to debating or tactics. When it comes to normal conversations, I'm even worse than Lukas. At least he talks.

"It-it's a little cold tonight, right?"

Ah, so he's cold. That explains everything.

"You think so?" I ask him just to be sure. He's shivering like crazy.

"I-I think it's just my imagination..."

That's the only reply I get, so I take that he's lying. He's been shivering all night, so he's probably really cold.

I drape my arm over him, covering him with my blanket. He should be a little warmer now.

"Warm now?" I ask him, just in case he's still cold.

I only get two words as a reply. I really don't know why he said those words.

"Terrified now..."

What is it he's so scared of. I'm really curious now.

Now, anyone who recognized this scene? I hope you do. It's actually an episode of the series, that I made from Sweden's point of view.

I'm quite tired right now, so thanks for reading! It became quite a short chapter, but I hope you liked it.
