Part 1
Later that day Heidi and her aunt walked next to each other to find a target. The sun was already going down.
Heidi's aunt was worried. The child would discard her as a teacher if the woman wasn't able to win her trust. The aunt would have to beg another family member to teach her. Many of them weren't content with the path of action Heidi's father and grandfather had taken. They had wanted the cold war to escalate. They wanted to see the Free Nations crushed at any costs.
But the old emperor preferred his kingdom to recover and bind Russia to his economy. So they could in the right moment damage The Free Nations more efficient.
Deep in thoughts about the past and the future of the little girl a mad face met her eyes:
"What do you want to proof by bringing us to these poor parts of Vienna? We already have seen these parts of society. Our father has taught us about them"
They passed a cube like building. In it were flats for people who couldn't afford any individuality.
Her aunt made a smile and gave her a proud look.
"I know you won't believe me, but in the richer parts of Vienna nearly everyone is under the influence of your highness."
"You want to tell us that nearly everyone has maggots in their heads?"
Heidi turned her eyes upside down.
"Yes it goes back to the second world war. Or what would be more accurate:
This was the reason for the Second World War. Your ancestors wanted the control of their whole population. So they made an exceptional mighty king: Adolph Hitler.
He should make a kingdom within our kingdom and build the infrastructure needed to control everyone but like you know it was a failure. Since this time everyone who is related to someone of Hitler Germany is under your control your highness. "
Heidi became really angry by these words. Her aunt hadn't only taken her for a fool but also said that her great grandfather was a mass murderer of innocent people.
But Heidi held herself back. First she wanted to see what would happen tomorrow. Then she could judge.
It was something her dad taught her: A wise emperor always looks at problems from every angle and Heidi had really liked her aunt until this day.
She was now after the death of her parents the only family she had or rather she knew.
The woman, who could enthusiastically tell the story of every emperor and every king who came from her house.
The woman, who had the same caring look her mother had when she watched her.
The woman, who always gave her respect although she had never done anything to earn it.
Why should she misguide her with such a plump lie? What was the reason for it? Maybe she wanted to teach her about trust?
Heidi knew that her aunt really cared about her. She knew there was a reason for her lies, but this reason would only become apparent when she would follow her and when she would swallow these lies and be quiet.
"You are telling us that our great grandfather was a mass murderer but why did he put a king on the top and he didn't take the position himself?"
This story has been stolen from Royal Road. If you read it on Amazon, please report it
Her aunt showed Heidi a wirily smile and answered:
"Hitler is dead isn't he?"
A curtain fell from her eyes. Heidi now understood why the Habsburger had other people than themselves on the top. How should the people rebel against a leader who no one knew the existence of? It is hard enough to find a culprit in a parliament, where everyone can put the blame on another person. But it would be impossible if an outsider had the strings in his hands. Yes, they had most of the people under their influence, but there were exceptions.
It was something like a life insurance for the real royal family.
"Hitler has killed himself because he didn't want to fall in the hands of the Americans. So why did our great grandfather wanted to kill him?"
The aunt replied enthusiastically:
"My grandfather knew that the structure which the king had built wasn't sustainable for longer periods. The people knew they weren't free. It was one of his greatest achievements to make the people think they were free although it was and is completely different.
Here in Vienna only foreigners from The Free Nations can be called free. This is the reason why we are now in one of the poorer parts and through a well thought system this won’t be the case for very long and the fastest way was to kill Hitler."
Heidi and her aunt passed some skin heads that were tattooed over their whole body. Their faces had so much iron in it that they could open a store. The mood was pretty good under them. They talked about last night how they roughed up some foreigners.
After they passed them Heidi’s aunt said:
"My Lord, when you are in trouble in a similar part of the town look for Neo Nazis. They normally are under our jurisdiction."
"What? Are you kidding us? We should look for this kind of guys when we are in trouble?"
The aunt nodded with a serious expression. The child's forehead already showed crinkles because she used the same expression all the time.
Part 2
Her aunt stopped in front of a building which was a well-known center for refugees. There she waited until a big man came out. He had a large back. His hair was short and black. He had a brown burned skin. He looked really fatigue.
Heidi's aunt stopped before the man she looked him directly into his eyes. She gave him a soft smile, placed a hand on his shoulder and said:
"After today everything will become better."
She kissed him on the cheek.
The man's expression changed into a confused one.
The aunt continued:
"Come the day after tomorrow at 10 o'clock to this place." She gave him a paper.
Then she turned around taking Heidi at the arm.
The man looked after the two of them.
When the two of them were out of range of audibility Heidi asked:
"Why the day after tomorrow and not tomorrow? We thought it would only take one day for the maggot to take effect."
Her aunt answered:
"You will see. I want to show you our whole might and I won't let there be any space for doubt."
