Chapitre 28
The whole place was silent, even the captured natives didn't dare to make a sound. The Empire was standing tall, looking down at the two figures ahead of him.
While (B/F/N) was afraid and shook slightly, you, on the other hand was maintaining the stare.
That's one of the reason why his attention switched between the both of you but still remained longer on your figure. (lol (B/F/N) get no bitches)
Even though you were on the ground, dirtied by the previous events, you still remained composed and silent.
The truth is that now, you couldn't wake up in your world anymore, this is your world now. And you didn't plan to be toyed with as a simple doll, using your fear as a weapon.
That's why you continued to stare at him directly in the eyes. You weren't planning on being ordered around, you were going to stand for yourself and (B/F/N) .
In WW1, you made a mistake, you believed you were weak, and, because of this, everyone you cared about died. Even you were shot!
The British Empire broke the stare contest first by smiling at himself. What a surprise. With all the experience he had, he couldn't identify what you two were, but, something inside him told him that you weren't ordinary, that you weren't meant to be here, aside of your appearance.
At least, you seemed somewhat civilised. Not like these other people. He was mostly intrigued by you. Even tho you've seen the violence he caused, you don't show any signs of fear, not like your little friend. (She's not like other girls- I'm sorry, I had to do it...🤣 No, (Y/N) isn't a girl it was just for the joke)
You were scared, alright, but you still remained proud enough to not show it. However, it takes more than that to fool a country like himself. He could see that you were scared about what would happen next.
But, with your good attempt to stay unfazed, he respected you. Plus, he wanted to know more about both of you. Why do you look like that? Why were you siding with the natives? And most importantly... Why does he get the feeling that you two were far more powerful than him?
He gestured to his soldiers to go away to let you have some space. Once that's done, he looked back at you two.
-"Now that we are alone, I would like to know who are you both." He said calmly. When he saw he didn't get of you any reaction his eyebrows furrowed a little.
'Do they not understand me? It would be troublesome, yet again it could be that they are still in shock.'
-"Do you at least understand me? I quite think that it would be easier this way." He smiled politely. After a few seconds he still didn't get an answer. His smile faltered and he turned around sighing nervously. Of course they don't understand him, they must be speaking the uncivilised language of these natives.
He was ready to walk away when suddenly you spoke.
-"We do, actually." He stopped right in his path and turned back towards you. When he figured out that it was you who talked, a small blush went on his cheeks.
Your voice was so... Angelic. And the way you talked perfectly in his language, his language, made him flush even more. Plus the way you looked at him in the eyes with determination but still with a hint of fear couldn't help but make him think that you were gorgeous, not only that, but that you were also perfect.
He was frozen for a bit but still managed to get out of his trance, trying to stop his eyes from looking at you even if it felt impossible.
-"Alright then!" He smiled, showing his perfect white teeth.
He handed you a hand still with a smile, eyes looking straight at you. You blushed a bit from the attention but hid it and took his hand anyways. If it was possible, his smile grew even more, it made you a bit uncomfortable but you didn't show it. He helped raised you up.
You looked up at him (Why are all the countries so tall?!) And smiled.
-"Thank you for that!" He didn't respond. You realised that you were still holding his hand, you were going to let go when he kissed the back of your hand.
-"The pleasure is all mine dear~" He purred, eyes locking with you. This time, you couldn't hide the huge blush that came across your face.
He let go, laughing at your blushing state before walking off, leaving you in total embarrassment (and (B/F/N) on the ground).
-"Are you going to ignore my presence any longer or?" Speaking of them, (B/F/N) asked, still sitting in the same position as earlier. To be honest, if they had the same powers as (Y/N), they would have made appeared popcorn to eat while watching this flirting scene between (Y/N) and the British Empire (it was quite entertaining to see). You jerked up.
-"Oh, (B/F/N), sorry! I was taken off guard!" You exclaimed, helping them standing up. (B/F/N) smiled smugly.
-"Yes. I saw that." You glared at them with your red face.
-"Shut up." They just started laughing and you both walked in the direction the British Empire went, followed by his soldiers.
~•~
-"No way in hell!" You covered your ears, ignoring the complaints of your best friend. You were now in the middle of an upcoming crowd of British soldiers who looked curiously at the scene that was happening.
-"Come on (B/F/N)... It's not that bad..." You said yet another time. You were desperately trying to get them to follow the British Empire and his soldiers but they refused because of what they did to the natives.
-"Not that bad?! (Y/N), They killed people! They killed innocent people that were nothing but kind to me! How could you say that?!" They yelled at your face. You were kinda confused onto the lack of reaction of the soldiers towards your best friend that were endlessly throwing insults to them.
Why weren't you on (B/F/N)'s side? Simple. You had enough. You had already tried to be against the crimes that were committed but to no use... You were now in the 17th century, world peace was nowhere soon, so what was the point of trying?
Plus, the r£@∆£r§ would want to see you spend time with the countryhumans, not endlessly running away from them.
-"Please (B/F/N)." You said sternly they just looked into your eyes, seemingly trying to enter your mind to see what were you thinking. You stared back at them, putting the whole place in silence.
Not wanting to waste too much time, you mouthed the words 'the book' to them and they understood your point. Sparing a last glance to the people around you they sighed and walked back next to you.
-"I know why we're doing this, but just know I'm not comfortable with it." They whispered so only you could hear it. You just nodded. Something was pushing you to stay silent.
The soldiers seeing that you ended your little conflict joined you both and indicated the way back to the rest. You smiled at them and thanked them while (B/F/N) just crossed their arms and pouted like a child. You gave them a weird look (bombastic side eye 👀) but shrugged it off and started doing small talk with one of the British next to you.
You remembered what happened with the Germans in WW1 where when you talked to them, they gained their own personalities so you try to spend most of your time with these new people to try and make them feel more independent since you were feeling bad for them to just be a clone destined to fight and die.
~•~
It's been a moment since you caught up with the others. You and (B/F/N) were just walking by foot with the others while the British Empire was the only one with a horse. He offered to take you with him but you refused, wanting to walk like the others with (B/F/N).
At the end you were walking in the crowd, alone. Where was (B/F/N)? Well... After five seconds of staying angry at the British, they went on their own and were now flirting with young recruits, leaving you alone. (Yes they change their mind very quickly and yes, they're kind of a flirt)
You chuckled at (B/F/N)'s whereabouts and just walked in line, oblivious to the eyes that were staring right at your back.
The British Empire was riding his horse calmly even tho most of his attention was on you. He was kinda in the middle of his small army and you were ahead of him, letting him have the perfect occasion to watch you without you noticing.
He internally frowned. He didn't understand why you persisted to walk by foot even if your comrade left you, why didn't you wanna go with him?
His frown deepened. Was it because of him? Even tho he just met you he couldn't stand the idea of you disliking him. No, it was for another reason right?
He smiled, trying to reassure himself. Yes, surely it was because of your kindness and modesty you had refused, no way it could have been him! You were just too kind to let the others walk by feet when you were on a horse.
All kinds of worries disappeared from him when he looked back at you. Your eyes were scanning the paysages that were folding before you.
When he first came here, he also was intrigued by this new beauty of nature but... Now that he has found you, it felt like all the things that he found charming before were nothing more than a disgusting compost.
Soon he felt the familiar heat coming to his cheeks. Well, it wasn't familiar before he saw you.
However he was stopped right from admiring you any further when one of his men came up to him.
British Empire Pov:
-"Your majesty, we have arrived, Do you want to take your horse with you?" Indeed, the beach was now visible and we could see the ground slowly becoming sand. For a reason that is unknown to me, a wave of negative emotions flooded into me when I stopped looking at M¥ (Y/N) to look at him.
I pondered the question, I was planning on traveling back to Europe with our new resources and territories as well as my whole army but... I spared a small glance to the whole group that has stopped and unwillingly made eye contact with beautiful (e/c) eyes. I swiped my head back to the man, ignoring the blush that was creeping onto my cheeks.
... I could bring (Y/N) with me, but I don't want to be bothered by too many people, of course I have to also bring (Y/N)'s friend, either way they wouldn't want to come.
I felt my face darkened when I thought about the relationship they shared with their friend. My eyes widened at the notice. Was I jealous? No, I, The British Empire isn't jealous, it's a stupid thought.
-"It's better if most of you stay here, keep my horse, it will bother me on the ship." I ordered. The man nodded before yelling orders to the others. I winced, so noisy. I sighed and jumped off my horse to leave it where a recruit took it while I made my way to our ship.
(Y/N) Pov:
We had arrived at the beach. When you woke up, there was blue water going up to the horizon however, now there was a ship that sailed in the sea. Some people were already putting marchandises in it.
You took a glance around to find (B/F/N), to see that they were already coming up to you.
-"Hello again!" They waved when arriving next to you. When they saw your blank look they raised an eyebrow.
-"What?"
-"Nothing." You said, preferring not mentioning anything. Soon, you were approached by a young man that was nervously fiddling with his hands. You almost snickered when you remembered he was the one that (B/F/N) was flirting with. He coughed in his hand, trying not to look at (B/F/N) who was giggling in their fist to see that man in a nervous state. 'Heartbreaker...' You thought with a mocking smirk.
-"The Empire wish for you to join him on his trip back to Europe." He bowed a little. You and (B/F/N) shared a look, they just shrugged and turned back to the man.
-"Are you coming with us?" They asked. You raised an eyebrow at the question, why would that matter? He just blushed a bit seeing (B/F/N)'s attention on him directly.
-"Uhm... Yes... Me and some others will come, we're about five..." He said, almost stuttering. You smiled a bit seeing his cute behaviour and he almost passed out from being the center of the attention of two gorgeous persons.
-"Well, in that case, of course we'll go!" (B/F/N) exclaimed while clasping their hands. Hinting at the fact they were only coming because he was. He just blushed more when suddenly (B/F/N) took his hand and pulled him with them.
-"Okay now, pretty boy, show us the way!" They grinned and ran away, not before yelling at you.
-"See you on board!" You were just planted here, sweatdropping. 'Okay... They're definitely not acting like usual.' You thought. Did they had a puppy crush? It would be very funny with them always bothering you about your little 'love interests'.
-"Interesting, I didn't expect them to leave you this quickly." You jumped at the new voice and turned your head towards the sound, only to see the British Empire standing behind you, looking at the now missing (B/F/N).
-"Ah!" You exclaimed, taking a step back.
-"You scared me!" You breathed out with your hand on your chest. He smiled.
-"My apologies, I didn't want to." You looked at the ship then back at him.
-"Why are you here? I thought that you were going onboard to leave?" He laughed.
-"Well, I can't leave without you can I? So I have to bring you with me." He smiled and you had the envy to tell him that he, in fact, could leave without you but you preferred to stay shut.
-"And as your friend left you with the one I charged to guide you, I have to do the job. So let's go shall we? I don't want to keep my country waiting for too long." He explained and handed you an arm for you to take. You furrowed your eyebrows and your face saddened. It reminded you of the scenario with German Empire when he lead you to the dinner. Unfortunately, the British Empire noticed your change of attitude.
-"Is something wrong dear? I didn't want to upset you." He asked, his face full of worry. You brushed off the pet name and just shook your head.
-"No, I'm fine, it just reminded me of someone." You reply and cross your arm with his, hoping to finish the conversation. However, what you didn't know was the change of look in the empire's eyes.
'Reminded you of someone?' He repeated your words in his head. What does that mean? Did you wrap your arm with someone else's beforehand ? He bitterly thought.
He looked down at you. You were walking with your eyes down, the eyes full of what he could describe as nostalgia. Yes. Yes, you did. His jaw clenched but he forced himself to calm down. Why was he so angry about this? This is pure courtesy to hold the arm of someone while walking, it doesn't have to mean that you shared a somewhat relationship with this person.
You let go of his arm when you arrived at the ship. A plank was settled for people to climb on the ship and it would have been complicated to walk side by side. You walked up the plank and jumped on the board of the ship to see people running around to go to their respective roles.
Soon the British Empire went onboard as well and the plank was taken away. You had spotted (B/F/N) looking at the ocean from the ship's rim, alone. You walked up to them, the British Empire following you silently 'doesn't he have anything to do?'
-"Hey." You greet them and they turn around. They smiled when they saw it was you.
-"Oh hey! How are you doing?" You shrugged.
-"I'm fine, where is your boyfriend?" You asked them. They seemed confused for a moment before blush came on their cheeks.
-"(Y/N)! He's not my boyfriend!"
-"It's annoying right? So maybe you'll stop doing this to me." You smiled. They thought for a moment before laughing.
-"Nah, I'll continue, it's cool to annoy you." You looked at them, trying to be serious but couldn't with the faces they were doing.
-"Okay okay, but seriously where is he?"
-"He had to work, unfortunately, now I'm bored and tired.
-"Normally, a cabin was arranged for you both, do you want me to show you the way?" Suggested the British Empire, that made (B/F/N) jerk out, they hadn't noticed the British Empire either. You turned your head and smiled at him.
-"I would like to, if it doesn't bother you." He smiled.
-"It doesn't, please follow me." He said before walking to another side of the ship. You walked calmly while (B/F/N) was excited to see an actual cabin of the 17th century (and also sleep).
~•~
-"Here we are." He said while opening a door and held it for you to come. When you entered he let go but you had the reflex of holding back the door, either way or (B/F/N) would had received it in the face. He didn't notice or simply didn't care.
After the door was closed, you admired the room. Since it was a cabin it wasn't particularly big but the luxe was still screaming out of it. The walls were in dark, waxed wood with gold ornaments, same with the beds and every others furnitures.
You and (B/F/N) were in awe, this was all so beautiful! You turned at British Empire and gave him a bright smile.
-"Thank you for letting us stay!" You exclaimed, causing him to blush every shades of red.
-"W-Well, I'm glad you like it!" He replied, cursing himself for stuttering. He sighed, he wanted to spend much more time with you but he couldn't, he had work to do.
-"I think, it's time for me to go, hope you'll like your stay here." He said to you, clearly discarding your friend. Ignoring that part you greet him goodbye and he bows slightly his head in response before walking out, closing the door behind him.
When the door closed you breathed out and looked back at (B/F/N), only to see that they weren't here, you started to freak out only to notice that they were already laying in bed on the stomach, arms limp. You facepalmed to them.
-"Are you serious right now?" They turned their head towards you and threw you a look that said 'What?' you sighed.
-"You can't just lay around like that! Be a little more formal." You explained, they grumbled.
-"(Y/N), you do what you want but I won't change myself to fit into their norms." They said lazily. You agreed in silence to their words, and pondered the possibility of laying on the bed too when you heard the door opens a little.
Both of your head turned towards the small entrance to see a small hand gripping the door handle before pushing the door open. Your eyes widened when you saw who it was.
He wasn't as tall as an adult but you could see he wasn't a child. Even tho he was a teenager his empty eyes didn't show any kind of feelings or signs of revolt. He just looked like... A lifeless doll, a puppet. Quite the change from what he looks like in the 21th century.
You and (B/F/N) shared a glance before looking back at him. His dull eyes were still stuck on your figure. You gulped, you didn't know what to do.
After all, you never looked up how the Thirteen Colonies were like under the control of the Empire.

Author's note.
Woah, almost a month without updating?! I'm so sorry guys! But here, a 3500 words chapter to apologize.
The Summer Holidays are here so maybe I'll update more often! (I say 'maybe' because I don't know if I'll just slack off all holidays)
So here we are: Knowing the British Empire better and meeting 13 Colonies! (Better keep an eye on the British, he seems a bit obsessive 👀)
I also wanted to say some things about 13 Colonies: like you read, he's a teenager. Before writing the chapter, I wanted to make him more of a child like he is often portrayed but I liked the fact that only Third Reich could have these kind of feelings and thoughts when he's just a kid (yk, because he's a little deranged...) and I didn't want him to be an adult so yeah, teenager!
So he's a teenager but guess how old is he really...
Well I was too lazy to think about it so I made him 13 years old since, you know, his name is... (cough) (cough) Anyways, see you in the next chapter!
