Hey guys, sorry for the late response to this. I had been suspended from the computer until i could drive and i also got a job and started college now. OUO I also need to fix the fact that Alfred and Arthur are not headed to a wedding. XD they are going to Ludwig's birthday party. OUO sorry.

The other Kingdoms settled quickly into their rooms in Hearts. Music was lighthearted and played by magnificent violin. Arthur chattered with Eliza a bit when Alfred cleared his throat a bit louder than normal. Arthur walked over to him discreetly. "What is it?" He didn't so much as look at Alfred as he sipped his champagne and glanced about the room.

"I don't want you near her right no-"

"Who, Eliza? Why she and I are only discuss-"

Alfred cut him off. "No. Sakura….." He took a sip of his wine. The two stood in silence for a while. It was almost starting to get awkward. "This all seems quite wrong...don't you think? I mean the aura is very...trying" Alfred lowered his voice a bit and swirled the wine in his glass a bit. Looking around one could almost say the party is a soree. People talked amongst each other about things they didn't have but loved to gloat on about.

"You're right. It's quiet…" Arthur scanned the room.

"Exacty. This exactly the opposite of a room Gilbert would be in."

Now that Alfred had mentioned it, Arthur had only seen Gilbert at dinner.

"Are you wondering the same thing I am?" Francis approached with his queen. She was with child, but trying to hide it. Arthur looked up at her to meet her in the eye. They kept a mutual understanding. It was to remain a secret for as long as possible.

"Yeah….I think we should go look for him…." Alfred looked down at his glass.

"Good evening Alfred." Sakura gently put a hand on the king's shoulder, earning a slight tense in return. Arthur glanced at the two when Alfred turned to face her. "Good evening…" she repeated.

"Hi…"

Francis bit the inside of his cheek for a moment before looking to Joan.

"Could we possibly speak alone about something-" Sakura began but was stopped.

"Nein! Don't you- what are you doing?!" Gilbert ran into the room, staring down the hall. He was covered in blood as if he had just been in a fight The guests all moved and stared in dripped onto the floor The crowd beginning to speak among themselves. Hushed tones getting louder when the king was knocked to the floor with a sudden burst of red energy that flamed from the hall and hit him. Gilbert grunted and tried to sit up as Ludwig stormed down the hall with Roderich in hand by the collar.

Eliza stood slowly from her seat and her eyes widened.

"Didn't I tell you that this was wrong?! " Ludwig boomed. The guests let out strong gasps and turned to face their king once again.

Gilbert, still pushing himself up, wiped his mouth and glared at his brother. "You can't say you didn't know! You're mein bruder!-"

The albino was hit across the face. "Gilbert...there are no excuses!" He threw the Clubbian Jack out into the crowd where he immediately stood his ground.

The king dared to look up and glance at Eliza. Hurt, anger, happiness, and betrayal all were swirling in her eyes.

"Eliza...You...You still love me right…? Feliciano, you understand-" The Italian Jack was shaking before Ludwig placed a hand onto his shoulder. Gilbert turned to look once again at the woman he so dearly loved. He couldn't move. Why couldn't he move. There was a mad look in his eye.

She swallowed past the lump in her throat. "no. Not ever."

Gilbert went limp in stature only to be picked up by his brother.

"The king deserves to die!" Someone shouted. The people began to get loud. Very loud.

There was a burst of energy created by Ivan and his staff. "All along you strung my kingdom along"

Sakura gently tugged Alfred's arm. "Alfred…!"

"Not now-where's Arthur?!" He looked around.

"ALFRED!"

He glanced at her. "What do you want?! You are treating me differently and now you want to talk when we are trying to figure out what's going on?! Your brother in law is-"

Sakura shook her head. "Come with me." She pulled him away from the scene

"Sakura- no- I'm married to Arthur now!"

She shook her head and then brought them into the hallway, gently cupping his face and kissing him deeply. He almost lost himself in it before he tore away at the sound of the people shouting.

"I never loved you." Alfred turned to face her. The hurt was all there. Every suppressed emotion, was all there. It was cold and he cringed in pain, glancing down to his side where she held a knife into his skin, roughly yanking it out before the king collapsed onto the floor. Arthur. He could hear Arthur screaming for him. It was so blurry, he saw him reaching for him through guards in red.

Arthur. Forgive me.
