"Urghhh- Do I have to wear this???"

"Obviously. You have to show up to that dinner and look like a true princess."

Y/N was getting ready for the dinner and Astrid was helping her. She was still wondering if it was the right decision to still go, even if the person she will be dining with choked her 2 hours ago. Will he attack her again? This dinner will surely be weird... Not only because she's dining with a dictator, but also they haven't really talked about what happened back there. And poor Germany! Is he okay after what he heard? She really hopes so.

"Are you even listening to me? You have to take your fork like this-" Astrid was desperate. Y/N didn't really show any interest in what she was instructing her. Y/N could see that Astrid was doing her best, but she didn't really want to know how to pick a fork for the ninth time in 5 minutes. So she cut her off.

"Astrid" Astrid stopped talking and looked at her with worried eyes "Yes...?" Y/N smiled "I'm going to be fine. You don't have to worry about me" Astrid just looked at her "I know... I know... But when you came to me and said that you know nothing about dining etiquette... Of course, I'm panicking!!! This isn't a normal meal!!! This is dinner with the Fuhrer!!!" Astrid was only getting more stressed, so Y/N took her hand and said:

"Don't worry. It's just a meal with some important dude."

"I don't know what means 'dude', but if it means a dangerous person, then yes, and yes, nobody is listening to us. I checked before."

"Ah...? But why?"

"Just in case. You never can be too sure in these times... But that doesn't matter now. Do you even know how many years have some women prepared to only meet the Fuhrer once?! And here you come, with a simple 'What do I do' TWO HOURS BEFORE!!! "

Her and Astrid talked and bonded a bit and they dropped formalities, but Y/N still feels that Astrid is considering her as a superior. She hopes this difference will disappear over time. Even if that might take some time. It's not like she is pressured to leave this place. Right? Then she remembered the blank 'History' book she has hidden in her room. She'll check it later.

"Heh... Sorry Astrid..." She was kind of sorry. Astrid sighed.

"It's fine... But next time instead of doing something illegal and visit the young master, just warn me about the dinner first."

"Sure" She smiled.

"Now, your dress needs one diamond here and... Done!" Astrid was obviously proud of herself. Y/N didn't know what to think. It is sure beautiful, but what if one of these diamonds get lost? She can't afford diamonds, really. She isn't rich like Reich...

Astrid checked her watch. It was a man-crafted thing. It was very pretty. Astrid told her that someone gave it to her. She says she is very lucky to be the one receiving it.

Astrid screamed.

"What is wrong?" Y/N asked her.

Astrid was pale, she took Y/N's shoulders so she doesn't mess up her hair or her dress.

"THE DINNER IS IN FIVE MINUTES!!!"

"Oh."

"GO NOW!" She grabbed her hand and took her to the place where the dining room is. This is the first time she's been here, so Astrid was a huge help to her.

"Thank you, Astri-"

"GO- YOU'LL THANK ME LATER"

And Astrid disappeared.

Y/N looked at the giant wooden door with golden outline.

She knocked.

Silence.
