A/N: Sorry that I haven't updated in a while, school is crazy! I should be doing more updates now!

A few nights later.
The two foreigners were still in the palace. Feliciano had become great friends with Kiku in such a small amount of time; he had finally got Kiku to sleep in the same bed as him. One of the nights, two nights before Ludwig and Gilbert's performance, Feliciano was staring out of his window and across the garden to the wall on the other side. He was looking at Ludwig's house. And then it hit him.
"Kiku!" He whispered loudly, "Kiku wake up!"
"Huh? What is wrong Feliciano-sama?" Kiku asked sleepily.
"I want to show you something, will you come?"
"...Can it not wait till morning?" Kiku asked trying to see if he could go back to sleep.
"No it cannot!" Feliciano hissed. That scared Kiku but it scared Feliciano even more, "Sorry Kiku but please come with me!" Kiku was silent for a moment.
"Alright let's go!"
"Thank you so much Kiku!" Feliciano gave Kiku a big hug before leading him through the dark halls of the palace.
"We have to be quite while we go pass brother's room," Feliciano whispered to Kiku while they passed Lovino's room. After they were on the next hall, they broke into a run.
"Feliciano-sama, where are we going?" Kiku asked in the middle of pants.
"Outside to the wall. Over the wall on the other side."
"Why?"
"There's someone I want you to meet as a person not as an entertainer when you do get to see him again in a few nights," They finally reached the door to go outside. "He is a German that goes by Ludwig. I feel like there is something about him, like I have known him before. That we went through something together. That were more than just friends, we were best friends! Do you know what I mean?"
"N-not really. I am sorry Feliciano-sama!"
Feliciano was depressed for a moment and then he smiled, "It doesn't matter Kiku."
Once they were outside Feliciano lead Kiku to the wall, "I'll give you a boost to the wall and then you pull me up!"
"Okay."
Meanwhile on the other side of the wall was Ludwig picking up sticks for kindle when he heard a sound.
"Heavy~"
"Who goes there?" Ludwig barked out. Whatever had been on the other side had grabbed onto a branch of the tree that was there.
"Wah! Nihon!" Ludwig was confused for a moment but he recognized the voice as one of the princes of the world, Feliciano. Now what this 'Nihon' thing was, Ludwig did not know.
"I sorry! Please hold on!" Ludwig quickly climbed up on top of the wall, "Give me your hand Feli-...you're not Feliciano!"
"No but I would like some help," It was a small Asian male. Ludwig felt his head spin for a moment and a memory flashed in his eyes. A memory of an elegant man in a white suit with gold and black trimmings and gold buttons. The man held a sword in a way where he could strike at any moment.

"Hello my name is Nihon, Japan. It is very nice to meet you Dotisu, Germany."

Ludwig snapped back into reality and grabbed hold of the Asian and pulled him on the wall. He had no clue what just happened.

"Thank you. My name, as you can guess from Feliciano, is Nihon. In English it is Japan," Ludwig felt like he was going to fall off the wall when the Asian spoke. He was very elegant, "But you may call me Kiku."

"Ludwig."

"What's going on? I want up!" Feliciano whined. Ludwig and Kiku pulled up the Italian prince and they all sat down on the wall, "Thank you guys! Kiku this is Ludwig and I think he is one of us. I just don't know what he would be called."

Kiku nod to show that he understood.

"Feliciano what do you mean by that?"

"I think you are a nation."

"Feliciano-sama he couldn't be a nation! Germans have no rights after the war in the days before Rome gained everything!"

"Excuse me? I have the right to learn techniques taught to soldiers!"

"Yeah the soldiers who did centuries ago! Now they use guns!" Ludwig knew that Kiku was right but he was still insulted!

"Well at least I am not a pet under a bigger nation!"

"What?"

"I may be a nation who doesn't know my name, but at least I am not a pet to an old man nation!"

"What?"

"You heard me. China owns you!"

"How do you know this?"

"I am not stupid! China owns everything in the East! He makes sure everything runs smoothly! Just like how England runs everything to the West and Turkey to the South. Rome has these three be his eyes, ears and hands in the areas. You are just one of the many under this rule; you just get special treatment because you are a nation!"

Kiku was furious. He didn't show it though. He knew that he deserved it since he had insulted Ludwig but still! The German had gone too far!

"I have more rights than you; you are just a slave!"

"WHAT?" Ludwig tensed for a moment. He was about to stand up when something happened.

"Stop it! I the heir to the throne of the world, command you two to stop fighting right now!" Feliciano stood on the wall, glaring down on to Kiku and Ludwig.

"Sorry Feliciano-sama," Kiku apologized. Ludwig eyes were wide with shock. He hadn't meant to make Feliciano mad, were those tears in the Italian's eyes?

"Guys I'm so sorry that I yelled at you. I just don't like it when friends fight!"

Were they friends? They had only met each other a few days ago and they were more than friends. They were best friends.

"I feel scared. I do not want to lose my only friends because of a silly thing as being a nation! We are humans! Wars start because one of us feels threatened, insulted or scared."

"Feliciano will stop fighting. It was stupid of us to fight. I am sorry Italy please don't cry! I can't protect you if I am the problem!"

"What do you mean Ludwig?" Feliciano tilt his head.

"We made a promise! I don't know when or where but I have the memory of it. We made an Iron Pact. I protect you when you need it and you protect me when I need it. I don't know."

"We never made this pact. I'm not the only one who feels weird about the world!"

They sat there. No one said anything. They felt like it would destroy the world itself. They were friends. No, they were best friends and they knew something was wrong with the world. The first step to fixing it they all thought was to figure out Ludwig's nation name. And then the next step was to uncover the meaning of the weird memories that the two Europeans were having.

Preview for next chapter!

It was getting intense! Feliciano and Kiku were scared for Ludwig. Lovino was laughing.

"Fight! Hit him! Fight!"

Then they went down. The two German brothers wrestled on the cold stone floor. Gilbert grabbed his brother's head and hit it on the stone.

It was getting intense! Germania did not know to pull his sons apart; he looked to Rome for the answer. Rome was horrified.

"Rome, do you want me to stop them?"

"For Christ's sake! YES! Stop them!" Germania pulled Gilbert off of Ludwig and pinned him down under his foot.

"Lovino, shame on you for doing that!"
