Germany and Austria were no longer living together, but they were still very close neighbours. Therefore, it was not that surprising to find Austria visiting Germany, since this was a way to economises.
However, there was one reason that lessened his trip to Germany.
"Why, if it isn't the rich lord coming to visit us! Did you run out of leftovers from last night?" this was deliberately said in a very loud voice so everyone near could hear.
"Brother..." Germany began, but they all knew that the damage was done.
"You know Austria, it is ironic that you feel that you can lecture Spain for what he failed to do when you yourself had a similar failing." Prussia said and both Germany and Austria were to find that his voice was suddenly very serious. For Germany, the last time that his brother had been like this was when they untied after the wall of Berlin was tore down. Germany had asked his brother about what had happened during these years and Prussia told him very bluntly: "Do not ever ask me that question again, because I will never answer it."
"You did not look after the Holy Roman Empire very well, did you? In fact, you even gave him up." Prussia continued coldly. "Unlike you, Spain would never do such a thing."
The name Holy Roman Empire made Germany frown, because there was something very nostalgic about that.
Which was more then natural, as that was who he had been.
Holy Roman Empire had been dying and he would have died if it wasn't for Prussia saving him. For a brief time, Prussia had simply refused to talk to France as it was Napoleon who did this. He knew that it was not France's fault but he was still really angry due to realising that his little brother was gone. Even though Germany was his brother as well…it was not completely the same.
It had been Spain who got the two of them to finally reconcile. As France once commented, the fact that the three of them remained friends was a sign of how great their friendship was.
"You think that Spain is weak because he let you pushes him around during your alliance." Prussia continued, grabbing his coat. "But you are wrong. The only reason that you get to do that was because Spain let you do it himself."
"What are you implying?" Austria said angrily.
Unlike France, Prussia decided that more was needed in an answer.
"That was his redemption. I do not know what you are trying to do with this talk of looking after Italy but I am warning you: do not make the same mistake again. France and Spain…they might have a part, but it is you who are the one responsible. I warn you, if my brother is harmed, I will be after you." At this, Austria and Germany found themselves looking at Prussia as he had been when he was the Teutonic knights, when everyday was a fight for survival.
"Don't forget Austria, I am not a nation anymore. Therefore, what I do would not matter much." With that, he was gone.
After all, England was to receive one more visitor.
"I do not want to see you." England snapped.
Talking to France and even Netherlands was one thing, but talking to Prussia was a completely different matter.
"Tough, I am going to be here and you are going to listen to what I say." Prussia said simply as he seated down and even placed his feet on England's desk, preventing him from continuing his writing.
"Then say what you want to say and be done with it!" England snapped, trying to control himself.
Prussia could tell that England was upset, which was why he deliberately waited for a time before he spoke in order annoy the other.
"This is about Spain." He began, but the next part of his words seemed to have nothing to do with it. "I don't have any colonies but both France and Spain have, so I have seen them talking to their colony. With France…even if you don't include Canada, since she is his daughter, his relationships with his colonies are still quite amiable. However…with Spain…that is a completely different matter."
Spain would be grinning and laughing, and even though his colonies would have a smile on their face as well, this was clearly something forced. In addition, if Prussia was there, then they tended to stand or sit nearer to Prussia instead of their formal boss.
"I can still remember when Mexico talked to Spain. At first, it seemed to be like how France talked to his other colonies. However, I then noticed that this wasn't so." Prussia continued. "Even though she was smiling, her hands were actually clenched together and she wanted to leave as soon as she could. At first, I thought that it was because of me, but I then noticed that whenever Spain leant forward, she would automatically stiffen and even lean back. Why do you think that is so?"
"Because she is afraid?"
"She is not just afraid, England, she is still afraid. If she is still afraid of Spain even though she is an independent nation, then it is because of what Spain did in the past, as well as being afraid that Spain could still hurt her in the future."
"And? What are you trying to say?"
At this, Prussia shrugged.
"I think it is pretty straightforward, and if you can't understand it, then it is not my problem." However, he then added the following. "If I have to pick an enemy out of France and Spain, then it would be France. Unlike Spain, you have a chance with negotiating with France. I think Spain would be sorry, but what good is his 'I am sorry' if you are already a pulp at the floor?"
Author'sNote: First of all, I am working with the idea that Germany is actually Holy Roman Empire, but has lost his memory. In addition, I feel that Prussia would blame Austria for what happened to him, because it was Austria who was looking after Holy Roman Empire.
Initially, I don't like Prussia much but due to ending up reading quite a lot of PrussiaxCanada fan fictions, my mind was forced to change. In addition, due to rewatching the Austrian Succession, when is aw what Prussia said about Austria and about how he had prepared for the war, I was really impressed. I feel that like France, there is more to what we see. In addition, Prussia is a country that has to fight for his survival, and he actually did manage, so I feel that he is actually quite strong.
This is what I wrote so far and I wrote this about a month ago. However, as I tidy up this story, I suddenly realise this: it is not completely finished and should I finish it by letting Romano end the story?
