Chapter 17: Plan

Germany-1794
~

Y/N was now in Frankfurt, which made Hamburg feel lonely in the mansion once again, though he did have the servants and also Hapsburg.

The servants were notified about the ball, and they were preparing everything rather quickly.

Hapsburg walked down the stairs and towards the front doors, which caught Hamburg's attention. "Going already?" He asked, the empire looking over at the city.

"You can come with me if you want if you feel that lonely without your precious Duke here?" Hapsburg asks with a teasing voice. Hamburg rolled his eyes but took his offer. After all, he would be meeting Berlin again after years of not seeing him.

The two got in the carriage and let the horses pull the carriage to Berlin. For a while, the ride was quiet until Hapsburg started asking questions.

"So how's the duke, Hamburg? I hope you're taking good care of them. They sure are a special little snowflake." Hapsburg questioned. He rested his head on one of his palms and smiled at the city.

Hamburg scoffs, "I'm pretty sure my Duke isn't a special little snowflake, sir. Sure, they're amazing at their job and kind at heart, but they're not naive."

"Sure, they aren't. It's nice to finally see them, though. I was thinking of staying until the ball, so I guess I won't have to make it back for April 5th." Hapsburg grinned, and Hamburg looked over at the empire.

"Are you sure???" He asked, Hapsburg chuckles in response.

"Well, I am here now, so I might as well. I'm sure Y/N wouldn't mind if I stayed a bit longer."

"Then I'll speak to Y/N about this. It's best if they knew so they could decide. After all, it is their house you're staying at." Hamburg insisted. He had his arms folded, and he was currently staring through the window.

"Well, of course, though again, I hope they wouldn't mind," Hapsburg mumbled. He sets his hands down on his lap.

Frankfurt

Y/N was being treated by maids and butlers at the mansion they were currently staying, and they came to Frankfurt to see the city and townspeople. The place was beautiful, with bushes covered in red flowers and houses tall and stunning.

Y/N was getting to know Frankfurt a bit, though the city was a bit saddened at the moment his last Duke was taken and killed. Though his new Duke comforted him and promised that they'll be here for him.

The two chatted and had a little tea party between the two of them.

"I hope you and I will be great together, Frankfurt." Y/N purred, and they added some sugar cubes to their tea.

"I hope so too, I haven't seen Hamburg or the others in a while. How is he, by the way?" Frankfurt asked. He set his tea down and looked at his new duke.

"Hamburg is doing fine!" Y/N chuckled, "He's just been busy lately, and with the whole ball thing, I guess he just needed a break... do you think he would enjoy being here for a bit?"

"I'm sure he wouldn't want to be separated from you, I'm sure of that!" Frankfurt joked. He took a sip of his tea while he gave out a little giggle.

"Yes, he's a bit clingy, but I can't blame him for that, I just wondered if he would at least be relaxed here." Y/N guessed they wanted to give Hamburg a break even though it's only been a day since they got to this new era.

"Why, of course! I will make sure Hamburg is relaxed here if he were to come over!" Frankfurt promised, it made Y/N smile.

"Thank you, Frankfurt."

"Of course, I wouldn't want Hamburg to stress himself out to the point he dies from it," Frankfurt stated. The two continued talking and enjoying themselves and their tea.

Berlin

The carriage slowly stopped in front of the same old familiar mansion. Hapsburg and Hamburg walked out and saw Berlin by the large doors.

Hamburg decided to run to the capital and hug him hard to the point Berlin had to ask for air.

"I'm sorry, Berlin, but it's been so long since I've seen you!" Hamburg laughed. He had small tears in his eyes.

"No, of course, I don't blame you. We can catch up inside once the meeting starts, we can go to the Holy's office in the meantime." Berlin offered. He led the city and empire inside the mansion and showed Hapsburg the meeting room.

"Come, Hamburg! I'm sure Holy would be amazed to see you here." Berlin called out. He left with the city, and the room was now quiet with the presence of two other countries.

"Hapsburg, it's nice to see you again, sit, my friend. we have much to discuss." Prussia greeted. He patted a seat next to him, which Hapsburg took. He could feel the Russian Empire's eyes on him.

"So why have you gathered us here for Prussia?" Russian Empire asked. He looks at the kingdom with a confused but curious look.

"We're going to have new land, my friends," Prussia answered with a toothy grin that revealed his sharp teeth.

"But how so? Everything in Europe is already taken by other countries." Hapsburg stated, he cross his arms and looked straight at Prussia with a bored look.

"We'll take land then," Prussia suggested. Hapsburg and Russia look at each other in confusion but let the kingdom continue.

"I'm glad you're on board... We're taking land from Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth." Prussia continues, "The kingdom is weak and has so much land for the three of us! We can grow and be big to the point that France and Britain will be afraid of us!"

"Prussia, are you sure about this? For all we know, the kingdom could have some attacks we're not aware of." Hapsburg questioned. He was interested in the idea, but he has doubts.

"Trust me, he has no chance against us."
