Hello everyone! Sorry for the late upload! To think I got so many Story Alerts. Thank you very much! I really don't deserve them
My only excuse is: no beta reader. So here it is, Act #3: Farewell
Akt #3: Abschiedsgruß
They had a 'sleepover party' and played all night long. Monopoly, Twister (along with Belgium, Finland and Ukraine), Pillow Fight, Tag, 'Who can eat more', hide and seek, and all those kind of activities that would make you stay awake.
The last activity was horror stories and even though the others were frightened, neither Norway nor Belarus was 'sentimental' enough to get scared so they decided to rest. It was 5 a.m.
Two hours later, which seemed like five minutes to them, the servants went to the room where everyone had gathered. They woke them up, got them ready for breakfast and gave them some time to say goodbye.
As they walked to the door, everyone had already gathered and was prepared to leave. Finland said goodbye to her siblings as silent tears fell from her face. Ukraine, too, had tears running down her cheeks as she waved goodbye to Estonia but it wasn't as hard to her as it was for Norway and the others; he was her fiancé and had the conviction that she would see him again soon.
When Belarus appeared, she had a maid with her. She looked between her early twenties; had long, semi-curled brown hair; her expression was between soft, cheerful and caring but there was a sign of bravery and determination in her light green eyes.
"This is my maid, the one I spoke you of. Her name is Hungary." The maid made a reverence. "I have already talked to my honorable uncle," Belarus made a light reverence to the emperor, who was present and watching the scene. "and he has agreed to let her become your personal maid from now on."
'Honorable uncle...? You're kidding right.' "Well then, I will take her."
"Take good care of her."
"I will." And so, feeling the salty liquid falling from their tears, they threw themselves into each other's arms and into the hug Belarus whispered:
"Whenever you are in the town, take good care of not getting discovered. Yesterday in the carnival, I saw a man about five years older than us; he was staring at you the whole time. It is possible that he just thought you were cute, but it is also possible that he does know what you are."
They broke the hug and Belarus said with clear voice this time "Take good care of yourself, don't do anything reckless, and I've already explained Hungary what to do to treat you as you like."
"You promise to write?"
"I do." Belarus led her hands to her neck and unlocked the necklace she had on. "Please take this; this was my mother's necklace, she gave it to me before she passed away. It's my most important and beloved possession. I will also give you my ribbon."
And Norway froze.
When she recovered she saw that even her father was perplexed. "I… I can't accept this-"
"Do. Keep them and give them back to me when we get to see each other again. Keep them as a promise of my comeback. Farewell, Norway. Don't forget to write."
And so, hurriedly she left.
Norway stood in front of the door even after the carriage was out of sight, even after Ukraine left, and she stood there until she felt the sunlight burning her. She went back inside and found her father waiting for her. He hugged her and whispered sweet and soothing words to her, all filled with concern and sorry.
After he left, she made her way to her room along with Hungary as all kinds of thoughts crossing through her mind due to the uncertainness of not knowing what was bound to happen. Belarus took with her only support with herself.
As they were in the road, Belarus couldn't help thinking about her dear cousin. Images from their childhood to that wonderful carnival passing through her mind and she couldn't help but to let the tears fall. She started to ask Gor for the welfare of her cousin as she started thinking about that man.
'Just who in the world could that man be?'
Then, realization hit her. 'Could that be…?'
Okay... don't say anything.
So, this time you got a sight of some pairs that will be worked in this fic. I know I arranged the family in a curious way but crack is as awesome as Prussia.
Also, no. I do not find anything wrong nor am I against incest.
