It was the day of the ball, and Hapsburg decided to stay a bit longer, he asked the duke. At first, they weren't sure, but after Hapsburg begged them for a half hour, they finally agreed.

Butlers and maids went around the mansion, getting everything done at once before the ball begins, after there hasn't been a party like this in a long time.

A butler and maid were currently helping the young duke dress up for the dance they'd planned for. The butler carefully puts on the f/c jacket and buttons it up while the maid combs their hair to make it perfect and flawless.

After a while, the maid and butler walked out and let the duke add their finishing touches before going downstairs. Y/N walked over to the closest window and smiled as they saw their people walking towards the mansion, poor and rich together, smiling and laughing. It warms Y/N's heart to see their people enjoying themselves during this time.

A soft knocking was heard at the door, which snapped Y/N out of their thoughts, "Come in!" Y/N called out. The door opened and revealed Hamburg in fancy clothes. It was black with some gold added onto it he also wore a white dress shirt that was decorated with a bit of gold.

"Are you ready?" He questioned, Y/N smiled and nodded. They walked to the city and wrapped their arms around Hamburg's right arm. The duo walked out of the room and started heading downstairs.

Y/N could see so many guests heading to the ballroom. They could see the important guests as well, Prussia, Holy Roman Empire, Hapsburg, France, Britain, Spain... Russian Empire.

Another country caught their eyes. He wore armor, and his helmet had wings attached to it. It was an odd choice to wear to a ball, but the duke didn't assign a theme for the ball.

"Y/N, you look amazing! So do you, Hamburg!" Frankfurt gasps at the sight of the duo in their clothes, Frankfurt was wearing a red jack and pants with black stockings and shoes.

"Thank you, Frankfurt. I'm glad you made it! You look wonderful!" Y/N purred, the Duke hugs their new city and lead their cities towards the now crowded ballroom.

Y/N told one of the butlers to start the party. A few minutes later, the band started playing their instrument, and people got on the floor to dance with their partners. Dresses, jackets, and bodies spun around and moved swiftly.

"Hamburg, let's go dance!" Frankfurt laughs. He grabs Hamburg's hand and drags him to the dance floor where the two dance together.

Y/N sat down at a table and happily watched their guest dance and enjoy themselves at the party. A shadow looms over them, and they turn around to see Prussia standing behind them.

"Now, what are you doing here alone? This is your party, after all." Prussia questions, he sat beside the duke and gave them his attention.

"Oh, I guess I just enjoy watching my guest having fun here," Y/N responded, they smile as they continue watching.

Prussia hums before getting up and holding out his hand. "Would you dance with me then?" Prussia requested, Y/N blushed a bit but took the kingdom's hand. Prussia and Y/N walked down the dance floor and started to dance with the guests who moved away to give the duke and kingdom some room.
