Germany is calling a meeting for all the countries that had been formed under Holy Roman Empire. Last time I checked, that summed it up to: Austria, Hungary (which was technically under Austria's rule at the time), Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Netherlands (I call him Nel) and Belgium (named Bell). Since their territories had been affected by Holy Roman Empire, France, Poland and Italy Romano had been called into this meeting as well.

EDIT: Translations have been placed for easier reading ability.

"Is this everyone?" Ludwig looked at the room.

"Looks like it." Vash answered. "What did you want to talk about?"

"I wanted to conclude that everyone here had been once associated with the Holy Roman Empire…" He answered. "Since we're going to be the front runners when it comes to dealing with him."

"Use his former territories to keep him at bay…that's an idea we can start with." Feliks nodded. "That's a good plan, but…"

"But what?"

"What are we gonna do with my brother?" Lovino folded his legs. "He's practically hanging on this guy's words. I wouldn't be surprised if Holy Roman Empire starts reclaiming territory from there."

"Perhaps…." Roderich stated. "When I was meeting up with him, he seemed a little surprised on what happened to his kingdom."

"So if he's going to retake his kingdom…" France rubbed his chin. "He'll start by using the one he loves…"

Everyone looked at each other, the possibility literally dancing in their heads. Through their mental confusion, Lili risked taking a glance at the German, who was now muttering something to himself. It was then that she remembered that she had taken a glance of Feliciano with Holy Roman Empire before meeting up with the others.

"Ludwig." She whispered. "Sind Sie besorgt über Feliciano [are you worried about Feliciano]?"

"Natürlich bin ich [of course I am]." He answered, keeping his voice down. "Er ist einer als extrem leichtgläubig [he's one to be extremely gullible]."

"Feliciano war nur leichtgläubig, wenn er um dich herum war [Feliciano was only gullible when he was around you.]." Lili stated. "Selbst wenn dies Heiligen Römischen Reich, würde er ihm nicht vertrauen, wie blind, wie er Ihnen vertraut hatte ... schmerzlich, denn das ist, wie Sie ihn gelehrt. [Even if this was Holy Roman Empire, he wouldn't trust him as blindly as he had trusted you…sorely because that is how you taught him.]"

"…What are you saying, Lili?"

"I've seen Holy Roman Empire…" She stated. "Er sieht genau so aus wie Sie [He looks exactly like you]."

"…"

"Sind Sie und Heiligen Römischen ... das Gleiche? [Are you and Holy Rome...the same?]"

That statement caught Vash's attention, and he turned his head toward Germany who was now holding his head. Vash's sudden movement caught everyone, and then all of them started to look at Ludwig. He couldn't hide the answer, and saying it in German wasn't going to save him.

"…Yes…I am Holy Roman Empire."

The room gasped in surprise at his statement. Elizabeta turned toward Roderich, who was now looking down at the table. France seemed troubled by hearing that statement, even though he knew about it. Lovino, however, had the worse reaction to that statement. He suddenly rose from his seat and grabbed his collar.

"Aspetta, quel bastardo che è in giro con mio fratello, come si parla sei tu? [Wait, that bastard that's hanging out with my brother as we speak is you?]" He screamed. "How the hell is that possible? Answer me, you bastard!"

"…Non ho una risposta. [I don't have a response.]"

Lovino jumped back, startled that the German actually learned some Italian. The room sank back into silence, no one knowing what to say without making Germany extremely uncomfortable about his situation. Suddenly, Bell looked toward Roderich and positioned her chair.

"Roderich, you said that he had come to your house." She stated. "What did you talk about, again?"

"We talked about what became of his empire." He answered. "After his supposed separation, I told him that his land had been separated into their own countries. Of course, I was suspicious of what he would do with the information and did not mention any names."

"So we're safe for the moment." Nel summarized.

"Not me and Elizabeta. And through Italy, Lovino might be at risk as well." He corrected. "But the rest of you are OK."

"Dzięki Bogu! [Thank goodness!]" Poland remarked. "And here I thought we were in immediate danger!"

"You never know, Feliks." Nel stated. "He might try digging into Ludwig's brain and try to get information. They are the same person, you know."

"Which brings up the ultimate question…" Elizabeta stated. "What exactly was extracted from you?"

"I have the majority of my memory back, but by the looks of things…so does he." Ludwig looked at everyone. "We can't any conclusion right now, but I can assume that all that was taken out was the need to be recognized as a country…"

"The only reason why he left in the first place…" Roderich concluded.

Everyone sat there in silence, the possibility sinking deep inside their minds. Suddenly, they heard yelling from outside the room. Ludwig got up from his seat and opened the door, seeing Alfred and Gilbert in a heated argument, poor Matthew standing in the middle of the room.

"Hey, that isn't fair! I'm the leader of this pack because I'm the hero!"

"Yeah, right! The last time you became hero, you almost blew up half the world! I should be the leader because I'm just that awesome!"

"How can you be awesome when you're no longer a country?"

"How can you be leader when you're such a sucker for the Brit over there?"

Oooh. That's a weak spot.

"Stop arguing about minor details!" Ludwig stormed out of the room. "By the way, why aren't you in there with us bruder?"

"Because I can handle Holy Rome! I handled him once, I can deal with him again!" He turned to America. "Another reason why I should be the leader!"

"No way! You can't handle the responsibilities concerning with being a leader!"

Ludwig shook his head as he looked back inside the room where he had just left. He gave a look to Austria that said carry on without me right now before turning and heading out of the building. He needed a walk, and hopefully he would bump into Feliciano on the way.
