Author's Note:I enjoyed the amount of views I had already so I wanted to write another chapter. It's going to get good soon!

It was been ten years since that day I met the Austrian prince, but I haven't seen him since then. I am now twenty-eight and Feliciano is fifteen. I have had a son named Ivan. He has violet eyes and Gilbert's hair color. He is a good father to him. But it is just because he has an heir. Ivan hardly visits me during my free time which makes it seem just as worse. I usually find my self hovering around the horse departure area, nowadays. As if I'm waiting for something to come. I saw a person brushing one of the horses around the stables that I didn't recognize. I walked to the stables in a quick motion. I was told to stay out of the stables, especially in my court gowns. I kicked open the door and walked toward the gentleman.

"Who are you?" I yelled.

"Please excuse me, princess!" He bowed. "My name is Ludwig! I was hired by his majesty to tend to the horses as a stable boy a year ago."

"Well, Ludwig. What was your previous job?" I asked.

"Same job. But I was in Germany with my cousin. He fired me."

"Where does he live now?" I was a little pissed that Gilbert hired someone without letting me know.

"Austria. But Gilbert told me I wasn't allowed to let you leave to go see him."

"I don't care! Prepare Lightning! I'm going on my occasional ride!"

Feliciano heard me scream at him and ran in. "Lizzy, are you alright?" He looked at Ludwig. "Who's that?"

"This is Ludwig, the new stable boy. Be good friends with him while I'm gone. I'm going for a ride." I rushed towards my closet and popped it open. I didn't need any help to get dressed when I'm in a rage. I pulled out a dress in the very back of the closet that I wore when I was in Hungary and slipped it on. The white sleeves began at the crest of my shoulders and poofed out until the embraces my wrists. It was v shaped and began at a corset that started at my breasts to the top of my hips. A black skirt continued where the corset ended that went to my ankles, covering black boots. I tied my hair in a low ribbon and put a black cape on and ran back to where Lightning better have been prepared. I saw that Feliciano didn't leave. In fact, they were having a friendly conversation. I hopped onto Lightning and tipped Ludwig a few gold coins. "You are to not tell Gilbert where I'm going. I'm just going for a ride." Ludwig nodded before I rode off into the evening.

"Mommy?" Ivan asked after I left.

"Aww, Ivan!" Feliciano said, cradling him tightly to his chest.

"Your little brother?" Ludwig asked, rubbing Ivan's head.

"No. I am Lizzy's friend. This is her little boy!" He replied, smiling at Ludwig which caused him to blush.

On my ride, it was strangely quiet and empty in the forest paths. I didn't know the direction I was going but I new it was going to take at least a day to get there, even with Lightning running at his fastest. Once the sun began to set, I took shelter at the lake. I didn't know how far I already have gone but I knew it wasn't enough to get outside of Prussian territory. I tied Lightning up onto a log so he wouldn't escape as I walked onto the sand. I would enjoy the sand even more if it was Austrian's. I sat down and brought my legs into my chest as I let sleep consume me.

I've heard a couple voices pass me by as I was sleeping but nothing about me. I began to dream for what seemed like fifteen minutes but was actually hours. I arose gently and looked at the lake to see the sun rising. It was a remarkable sight as the lake mimicked it's every move. I looked behind me to see Lightning laying on his side. I ran towards him to make sure he wasn't shot. I shook him gently and he rose his head quickly. I sighed in relief. Lightning stood up and nudged my chest gently, the sweet angel! I hugged his head and smiled. I heard camera lens shutter and looked around but found nothing. I hopped onto his back and lifted the hood of the cape over my head and began to trot. I should begin looking for people to ask which way to go to Austria. But they might recognize me and tell Gilbert. But what's even worse is I wouldn't know where to begin looking for that bastard who fired Ludwig. He is such an excellent worker. I've never seen Lightning in such a great position! He looks better than ever!

I pulled tightly on the reins which made Lightning come to an abrupt halt once I saw an after fire place. Burnt out trees and a destroyed statue in the middle of the field. It was broken slightly but I could see what it was trying to be. It was some woman but I wasn't exactly sure. I hopped off Lightning to examine the area. It was fresh. As if it was done the day before. I walked towards the statue until I was surrounded by men with guns. I put my hands to my heart in shock. I didn't have a weapon so I couldn't protect myself.

"What are you doing next to the statue of his majesty's mother?" one asked.

"I'm... just examining the area," I replied, loud enough to be heard.

"That happened last night! We'll have to take you in to face the king!" another replied.

"But... Lightning?" I turned to see they took him into custody as well.

"Well missy, where were you going and where were you coming from?"

"I was going to Hungary from... Prussia."

"And what's your name?"

"Elizaveta... Hedervary!" I slipped my wedding ring from my finger and slipped it into the pocket of my skirt. If they found out I was the wife of a Prussian prince, I will be slaughtered on the spot! They threw me into what looked by a portable prison that was latched behind horses. It was obvious they were going to pull it. "Where are you going to take me?"

"To the Austrian court! You will be asked questions by the king and his son!" I remember something of Austria happening to me when I was younger, I just couldn't remember. I decided to lean against a wall and fall asleep. It was going to be a long ride. In at least five hours, we came to an abrupt stop and the back door was opened up. They suddenly put iron handcuffs on my wrists and forced me to walk inside. The size of the building was unbelieveably beautiful. The walls were white and it was three stories tall. I was going to get lost if they let me loose in here. They forced me through doorways and down a hall to the main room where the king was sitting in a throne. I sat on my knees as a way of showing honor.

"Show your face," the king announced. I hesitated but looked up with my eyes sealed shut before I opened them slightly. "Why were you found in the forest of my wife?"

"I was on my way to Hungary and came across the burnt forest and went to examine it."

"You're lying. Would you like to tell me the truth?"

I gulped in fright. "I was on my way here to seek the attention of you. You see, in my home, I have an employee who used to work for someone in this country. Maybe you might know where he came from. I would liike a word with his employer."

"What wwas his name?"

"Ludwig. I don't know his last name but he said he worked in Germany."

He pounded the floor with his staff three times and then there were gaurds at both of my arms. "He told us before he left, he was going to work for the Prussian court! May God have mercy on your soul!" I knew what he meant and they began to tow me away towards the guillotine. I witnessed Gilbert send people to their deaths. I passed what appeared to be the king's sons. One looked strangely familiar. His brown ahoge and violet eyes looked strangely familiar. I stopped screaming for them to let go and forced them to release and grabbed him by the arm.

"Stop her!"

"No!" I made the prince face his father. "I know him. He seeked my attention ten years ago!" I stood in front of him. "Please make me yours!" His eyes widened at my demand as his left hand met my waist, in a manner that felt like he was going to push me away. "Take me as your student! Teach me that dance you pianists call music!"
