Author's Note:After a couple hours of uploading chapter 2, I got numerous amounts of view, so thank you! Now where are the reviews? Thanks guys! This is for you! I DO NOT OWN HETALIA!
The prince's eyes widened at my demand. I wondered if he thought I only asked him just so I could keep the smart part of me from my stupid part. His violet eyes went from wide to narrow. I think he found out and changed his hand position from my waist. He removed his right hand and placed his left arm around my lower back and brought me to his chest.
"Father, I wish to take her as my pupil! Please allow her to be my student!" he pleaded.
He rose out of his throne and walked to his son. "You know if you do this, you will have the Prussian prince after you if he finds your holding his wife. You do know this, right?" he asked.
He knew I was married to that ass hole. "And I'm prepared to take the consequences."
The king walked in front of me and lifted my face by the chin to look at him. "If your husband comes after my son or my family, for that matter, it will cost your head. Do you understand me?" I nodded. "Get her out of my sight!" I turned around to walk away, only to see a gaurd ready to remove the handcuffs. I smiled at him and looked down at my wrists as I watched him unhook me. I rubbed my wrists that were now red and walked out of the room as the doors closed behind me. I didn't want to trouble him with this. Whatever his name was. I turned to my right to see a young woman before me. I bowed towards her, as a way of showing my respect! She simply stood there but nodded gently.
She had blonde hair and smoldering blue eyes. She was a little taller than me and a beautiful white dress. "Who are you?"
"My name is Elizaveta. I will be one of the prince's students."
"Then I think I should at least show you around. It's the least I could do." She hooked her left arm through my right and towed me through the palace. The last room she showed me was the piano room and left me there as I was waiting for the prince who said he would look after me. I was waiting for two hours and he still haven't shown his face. I sat against the black bench that rested in front of the piano and gently touched the keys one at a time. They sounded beautifully as nothing evil could bestow against something so elegant. I waited another hour before I fell asleep where I sat, leaning against the piano. He never showed up. I don't think she ever told him. I just stayed there as dust collected everywhere.
I woke up and looked around to see portraits pass me. I knew I wasn't walking because I couldn't feel the floor. Instead, I was being carried. I looked side to side, and on my right, I saw a chest. I looked up to see an unfamiliar face. "Who are you? Where is?"
"My brother is in bed, depressed right now. I am Antonio!" he spoke.
"Where are you taking me?"
"You don't wish to see my brother?"
"I do! I was just wondering. What's his name?"
He dropped me and my butt quickly met with the floor! "I thought you told me you met him!"
"I have! It's been ten years!"
"Oh." He helped me up and I looked to my left to see his head peeking out.
"Thank you, Antonio. I can make it the rest of the way." He bowed to me and I curtsied. I'm sure his brother recognized it because it was the same one I gave him. I turned and walked to him. "Thank you for saving my neck!"
He nodded. "Why were you looking for Ludwig's employer anyway?"
"Because Lightning... Oh my god, Lightning! Where are your horse stables?" He walked me to them and I saw Lightning laying down. Not a bruise on his body. "Ludwig has been watching him. I thought he looked better than when I had him so I was wondering what was wrong with you guys and how you could let him go."
"I had to return to my father and he couldn't come with us. So he chose to leave," he replied.
"Aah. He needed you for royalty business. Lightning, come here boy!" He responded well.
"No. Engagement opportunity." My eyes widened at the thought. "It was to the girl who showed you around. That's Maria Theresa."
"Was?" I asked. Unsure of if it ended or not. If it did, do I dare congradulate him or give him my sympathy.
"Yes. Today, we decided it was for the better that we lived seperately. She actually was given a better proposal!" His hand went to Lightning's nose once his face came to us.
"Any marriage to you is better than none at all!" He looked at me with widened eyes. I turned away quickly, blushing pink. "Do you think it's bed time?"
"Elizaveta, here we say 'should we retire for the night'. And I agree."
"You remember my name? I'm sorry but I forgot yours."
He chuckled. "It's Roderich!"
"It sounds as nice as it did the first time!" He smiled and showed me to my room. "Good night, Roderich!" I curtsied.
"Sweet dreams!" Roderich replied and bowed to me. I walked into the bedroom and I could barely see. All I saw was a black queen sized bed in the darkness. I made my way on thhe bed and layed down underneath the covers. It felt uncomfrotably different. I never felt something this comfortable that it was akward. I tossed and turned in it. I suddenly realized what was wrong. It was my attire. I searched the walls for the light and found it at the end of the room by the door. I got undressed and opened the wardrobe in the corner and popped it open to see dresses and nightgowns. I wonder if this was Maria's closet or not. I'm sure she wouldn't mind if I borrowed something. I pulled out the nightgown and put it on. It felt as good as satin. And the sleeves began at the edge of my shoulders. I turned off the light and layed back down under the covers! I was tossing and turning once more and tried closing my eyes and fell asleep once again for the third time today. I woke up an hour later and it was two hours later.
I got out of bed and went back to the wardrobe and pulled out a robe since I was practically naked without it. I began roaming the halls until I found the one I was looking for. I opened it gently. Lucky for me, it didn't creak! I began walking towards the bed at the far back wall. One side was empty but the other side, where I was standing, it had a huge lump in it. I looked at the night stand to see glasses resting on top. I knew they were Roderich's just by remembering the conversation we had today. I knelt down onto my knees and touched his shoulder. I shook him gently and he opened his eyes slowly. His violet eyes were practically glowing in the dark because that was all I could see or focus on.
"Elizaveta? What happened? Are you alright?" he asked, putting his glasses onto his face.
I shook my head no. "I can't sleep... What do you usually do to fall asleep quickly?"
"Share my bed with my father and used to with my mother."
"But what if they aren't here?" I asked, surprised that he would bring up that offer.
"I stay awake. Do you wish to lay down with me?" he asked. I squished my lips together and nodded gently. He rolled over and held the blanket open for me to climb in with him. I sat down and felt hands meet my chest to untie my robe and slide it off of my body before I layed down. He rested his arm across my chest to rest the blankets back down. Or so I thought. He rested his lips against mine which felt great so I responded well and returned it. I quickly ran out of breath and he moved his lips to my neck and it slowly made it's way to my breast plate.
"Ah! Gilbert! Stop it!" I shouted. I sprung up to find myself back in my bed. I looked to the side and didn't see a nightstand. I looked at the spot where I was sittinng at. Could it have been a dream? Or could it be something I'm secretly wanting? I looked down at my chest and didn't see any kiss marks. I guess it is what I want. But today I start my lessons in piano! I can't wait! I stood up and ran to the closet to see what was in it.
I saw a white dress with ruffles. I put it on and a maid saw me in it. "You look beautiful. But that's not the full outfit, my dear!" I looked at her with an arched eyebrow. She took a bold green corset. Before she tied it in place, she buttoned the back of my dress in place and set the green corset over my stomach and hooked it. She walked in front of me and pulled the ruffles out of the corset which hid half the corset. It was a low v cut which showed a small bit of clevage. They began at the edge of my shoulders. It was actually beautiful. Life in Austria wouldn't be that bad. I wish I could annull the marriage myself and marry Gilbert! What am I saying? I've only known him for one day. The maid walked out and shut the door. After the door was shut, I heard a knock. I opened it and it was somebody I didn't recognize. He had yellow hair and green eyes. I stepped back.
"Who are you?" I asked scared. Part of me wanted to call for Roderich, but I doubt he could hear me.
"My name is Arthur, and I've come to make a deal with you! How would you like to divorce Gilbert and marry Roderich?" he asked.
"You can do that? What's the catch?" I asked.
"You just have to give me your voice until you leave Austrian land!" he replied. "Your voice will automatically come back on instinct."
"Then how can my part of the deal come true?"
"Make him fall in love with you! I managed to make a disguise that looked like you! So Gilbert knows you never left!"
I felt my heart beat uncontrollably deep inside my chest. "And what if I can't do that?"
"Your disguise will fade away and he will know your gone! And what better place to look and attack then Austria."
I sighed. It was a pretty good deal. If he kisses me, doesn't it count as falling in love with someone? "Deal!"
"Now. Say 'I love you, Roderich'."
I sighed once more "I love you-" I felt a tight pull in my throat that constantly felt like it was rising. I screamed loudly for the last time and fell to my knees.
"Lovely doing business with you!" I heard loud knocks on the door, people calling my name. Suddenly the door broke open and Roderich was in a purple waist coat and pants.
I stood up and curtsied, feeling light-headed as ever. And so, my most difficult job begins!
