"You heard me. I'm selling ya", Scotland said again this time with more clarity. As luck would have it , alot of people would want this certain land mass. Not only was it next to England but was also known to have tremendous amounts of luck. (Sorry Irish people out there I couldn't resist) Of course it mostly was all myth and rumors but there is some truth to that.
"But we had a deal!", Ireland yelled put struggling against the guards. This was like some elaborate nightmare.
"No, the deal was that your brother gets immunity. I never said that you were secure, but don't worry I'm fair man. I will take him to see you once a full moon. How's that sound?", Scotland taunted Ireland.
"You're sick", Ireland said no longer struggling. He tried to think of ways to coaz Scotland out of selling him. This taske would be extremely difficult because. once Scotland, made his mind it was hard to convince him otherwise even if the idea itself was tremendously stupid
"No I'm Scotland", Scotland joked around. This was usually how he ran his part of his kingdom. Ever since the vikings Scotland at all to well tighten up lose ends and prepared for the worse.
"Please....givmmeanotherchance", Ireland mumbled the only he thought could get to Scotland. He is not one to beg but even he knows when to surrender. This battle was lost.
"I am sorry what?", Scotland asked geniuly not understand the other.
"Give me another chance...please", Ireland said looking at the floor. He knew it probably would never work but still it was worth a chance. He wish he could have more time to plan and find everything out better.
Scotland just stared as flashes from the past flooded his eyes. "I ain't the old the koot", He muttered to himself looking at Ireland again.
He didn't know how to respond if to respond at all. If he wavered now, it may open a door for others to try to slip through. Others to take advantage of, but his concession would kill him if he went through with it.
"Listen you have been one pain in the ass, but luckily for you I know what's it like to care for someone deeply, but head my warning boy. If I catch you escaping next time, I won't be selling ya", Scotland said standing fully up not knowing whether he made the right choice or not. "Mend to his needs", Scotland said as he strided away. He gave this slave a second chance.
"You are a pain in the ass too", Ireland wheezed out in pain. He didn't believe it would work, but yet it somehow did. Maybe he was lucky afterall? The sound of the shackles brought back into reality. He wasn't lucky infact he was the opposite...unlucky.
"I know I aimed to be", Scotland said back to him looking back for a bit after hearing the comment. He wasn't going to get on Ireland's case for the disrespect. It has been a very stressful day for him, and alot was on his mind. He just hopes that this would give anyone ideas.
Ireland on the other hand hoped to use this to the fullest. He wanted his freedom and he wanted it fast.
(With England)
"Did you like your dinner?", England asked America as he neatly wipe himself with the napkin.
"Yes, it was....good", America said after eating one of the "best stews in the world".
"I am glad to hear that. . . Hey is UK ready?", England said to one of the maids passing by.
"Yes the UK had been fed and bathe. He is currently being taken care for in the maids quarters until master America is ready ", they responded back before walking away to whatever they were doing before hand.
"See that? UK is well and fine. This day has gone spelidedly!", England chatted to his son.
"Yeah, I guess it has Dad", America said, rembering the events of the day
"You're worried about something ", England solemnly stated.
"No, it doesn't really matter ", America said as he looked unto his plate.
"Since when does a son of mine's needs don't matter?", England said trying to figure out what was wrong with America.
"It isn't a big deal dad", America said playing with his food.
"If it has gotten you in the slumps then it is. Plus what do I always say?", England said looking at America.
"There is no love on earth greater than that of a father for his son", America said looking up.
"Okay then. Are you going to tell me what's wrong?", England commanded more then asked.
"Well f-my friend is going through something but he can't tell me what is the problem and I want to help but I don't want to invade his privacy", America stated in the most vague way possible.
"Why don't I just pay his family a visit?", England told America a solution.
"If I tell you, you got to promise not to get mad ", America neogated.
"You have my word", England said on the edge of his seat.
"hesortadoesn'tliveinthevillageoryourcountryatall. Ithinkatonepointyouandhisdadwerefriendsvutidunno themainpointiamtry8ngtomakeisthat", America started mumbling.
"Calm down America. Speak slowly ", England interrupting not really understanding the starting point to what America was about to spat out at him.
"Well he doesn't live in the country. Sometimes him and his father come over for business", America admitted the first half.
"Oh and how do you know him?", England said.
"He sorta just climbed into my window one day. I think he was bored and wanted to see how much trouble he would get into" America went into the story. That is Franve for you all.
"Oh is that so?", England asked learning something that his son had been hiding from him. If he were honest , he was more amazed then angry. America knew how to tell a good lie. England was not sure if that was a bad thing or not. He would just have to wait and see.
"Yeah and we just kept meeting up after that, but lately he has been feeling down and I don't want to get him trouble", America said somehow not exposing France.
"Hmmm how about you invite him to party I'm hosting ?", England said trying to think of solutions.
"But isn't like awhile away?" America said.
"No it is actually in a few weeks", England corrected America's misinformed mind.
"What?! WHY so soon?!" America nearly fell out of his seat.
"Because many Empires want to meet you and your brother " England said.
"Even more than with the ones you were fighting with?", America asked .
"Yes even more", England said.
"The world must be so big then", America said to himself.
"Yes, it is a extremely big place. Very easy to get lost searching for riches and other things", England chuckled to himself.
"I can't wait to meet everyone ".

Hey guys.
I really tried to cover the topic of selling slaves and such with Ireland and Scotland but I found myself uncomfortable with it as soon as I read what I wrote. This is the explanation of the sudden entrance and exit of the topic. I might do a take 2 of it durnjng the revolutionary War.
Thank you for the votes and stuff. I haven't been online as much because of classes. Maybe I might go back on the weekly posting, but for now...
Have a great life
