The Revolution

Hello humans, I'm back! (Not that many would know I'm gone…) So, thank you guest as you are the first one to reply and sorry for the grammar errors, this story is not betaed. So in this chapter some of my headcanons will be mentioned and they are pretty weird. This chapter is somewhat of a filler; it allows us to know the characters more and their history or lack of thereof in Ludwig's case. I guess this chapter is dedicated to the guest. You know the drill of not owning the characters and show; only the plot. Now, onwards!

The wind howled and tore at our clothes from inside the hallow tree and we huddled closer to each other in desperate attempts to maintain body heat. Feli was the first to break the silence. 'Ve~ Luddy, Lets-a play a game!'

'…A game…?'

'Yes, a game! It-a goes like this, we each tell a story about ourselves or a story we loved hearing as a child! I'll-a start!' Kiku and I didn't even object that we didn't consent, a distraction is needed. And Feliciano knew it.

'Okay so before I was ten everyone thought I was a girl, even Roderich! Only my fratello and Miss Elizabetha knew I was a guy. Even he-a thought I was a girl…' For some reason a wave of familiarity washed over me and I vaguely saw a girl who looked like Feli sweeping.

Dryly, I say 'I can imagine that.' Feli just Ve-ed but Kiku gave me a strange look.

'Ano- Feliciano-kun may I ask, who is "he"?'

Feli looked away, obviously upset, '"He" is the boy that I said that Luddy reminded me of when we first met. He was really sickly and if he got-a cut even a little he had to go-a home instantly and about two days later would he return… One day he got-a attacked and got a really bad cut on his chest and ended up in the hospital, he said that he would return… I never saw him again.' He then brightened up instantly, 'Kiku, you-a go next!'

'Oh, okay. Let's see… Ano… Aha, I got one!' As Kiku spoke and told his tale I zoned out, thinking of my past. 'Ah, Ludwig-san?' He tapped my shoulder, pulling me from my thoughts. 'Ludwig, it is your turn.'

'Oh, ah… Okay.' I pulled the first thing that crossed my mind. 'I had no childhood before I was ten.'

'Ve~ Do you mean that you never got to play before you met us?'

'Nein, I mean that I had no childhood. For some reason or another, I had lost all memories of then. The first memory I have is of mein bruder in a chair at my bedside and a freshly-healed scar on me.'

Kiku looked alarmed, 'A-a scar? Why would a ten-year old have a scar?'

'Kiku, he could mean a small scar, like from a razor.' Feli said surprisingly being the voice of reason.

'…No, not the way he said it. Ludwig-san, where is it?' Kiku said, making connections from Feli's story and mine. I stayed silent for a while.

'… My chest…' I answered quietly. Feli looked like he was putting two and two together; panic spreading slowly across his face.

'N-no… it can't- that's not- is it? No. Ludz lived in the palace… He a noble… he is dead. It is just simply not possible… is it?' He turned to Kiku, confusion in his eyes 'Is it? Is it?'

Kiku hesitated, looking from my puzzled expression to his panicked one. '… Hai… It is possible.'

'Then does that mean I am not even really a Belischmidt?' I still had no idea what just happened.

Feli, who has calmed down, opened his mouth then closed it, unsure of how to answer. He giggled, 'I have no idea.' Great, that makes two then.

'Let's go to sleep, we have a long day of traveling ahead of us.' So we huddled closer together and went as far as we could go back inside the tree. The other two fell asleep pretty quickly; I could do no such thing as my mind was still confused as to what just occurred only a few minutes ago.

What a strange night; we exchanged stories, Feli had a break down and Kiku looks as if he knows something we don't… I wonder what is in store for tomorrow. I then rolled over and fell asleep promptly.
