You know how after I died everyone was so angry? And they were talking about how cruel my death had been because you'd cut me up and they wouldn't shut up about partitions and stuff?

The partitions were when Liet and I were separated. Our marriage and empire were like totally dissolved. Prussia, Austria and Russia cut up my land and split up my people amongst the three of them. Liet was taken by Russia and I went to live at Austria's.

And I was lucky. Because I while I wasn't even a country anymore at least I was taken care of in Austria's house. It wasn't perfect and it definitely wasn't what I wanted, but it wasn't as bad as it could have been. Eventually I even got my independence back and was able to move out and exist on my own again.

Liet wasn't lucky. Russia was the absolute fucking worst. He was abusive and possessive and crazy. Liet doesn't even know that I know this, but I caught a peek at his back one day by accident. It was so scarred up and so beaten-- I was completely speechless. I was angry and upset, how could I have let this happen to him? How could I let him just go through that abuse alone? I wanted to confront him about it, I wanted to know every detail so I could go and kick Russia in the teeth for him.

But I didn't.

I waited for Liet to talk to me about it. I waited for Liet to tell me all the horrible details he couldn't keep to himself any more. I waited for Liet to ask me to beat the crap out of Russia for him and I would have obliged in a heart beat.
