The Months that followed the marriage changed them, from enemies to friends. To lovers. They fought less with swords to household equipments to words. They rarely ever fought, mainly arguments ("debates" as they would tell little Lovino) leaving them storming away from each other. All was well though, because they would apologize and then have a little wrestling match on the mattress.

Everything was more or less pleasant and brought Romano joy, as well as the dearly beloved couple. Alice would leave a few nights to check up on her country, Antonio would wait patiently, she would come back, and he would smile and act as though he didn't notice. Everything was just right.

It was an ignorant bliss they were living and they loved it, everyone was happy. Even when people came to visit them all said they have never seen the two so happy. Even Gilbert was surprised, he grew up more or less with them both and to see them so happy made him shocked, but it was replaced with his own happiness.

Yep. Everyone was happy. No cracks on the surface, nothing shoved under a rug, just pure happiness.

It was ignorant of them.

Alice left this time for months. Queen Mary has died. The new queen has taken the thrown. And she refused to marry one of Spain's kings.

Spain didn't want to lose his wife, he didn't, and he couldn't. She was his pride and joy. She was His.

He sent his ships, an Armada, to retrieve his wife. He would be damned if he lost her.

And so… he was damned.

"When's Alice coming home?"

"…"

"Antonio..?"

"…"

"Spain…?"

"…"

"When's—"

"Shut up! Okay!? Never! She's never coming home! She left!"

Antonio slid down a wall and buried his head into his hands. Lifting his head to take off his damn marriage band reading the inscription "I hate you", he let tears fall; he held it tightly before sobbing and throwing the ring.

Lovino hugged him and cried with him.
