When I came to I was no longer in the stables but back in the servant's quarters of Russia's manor. My younger brothers stood on either side of me staring on in worry.

"Lithuania, how are you feeling?" came Latvia's question. I hid the pain from my voice and spoke.

"I feel fine Latvia, why don't you get to your chores so that you don't get in trouble, ok?" Latvia smiled at me and nodded before leaving the room. Estonia, the one who spoke now, was looking at me with suspicion in his eyes, having not been so easily fooled.

" How are you really feeling brother? Do not lie to me I can see the pain in your eyes."I sighed before carefully sitting up, cringing as my wounds were irritated.

"Estonia he whipped and branded me this time. I wont fight him any longer, I can 't run away anymore." I said with a defeated look. The memory of my punishment combined with my latest dreams had worn down my cheerful facade, Russia had broken me at last. Estonia face was covered with a terrified expression. He had never seen his older brother this way.

"Was it so bad that he's taken away your fighting spirit, that he has broken you as well?" I looked up at my younger brother as my eyes filled with tears.

"Estonia, when I sleep the people of my country fill my mind with their hunger pains and their dying screams. Then when I get up I am a servant to the one who causes not only their suffering but the suffering of my brothers as well. I can't take it any more, at this point I would rather die." Fear for my life filled my younger brothers eyes and I knew that I had taken it to far. He carefully wrapped his arms around me and told me that he cared for me, while I repeated that I wouldn't take my life. When understood that I was no longer in any danger from myself he stood and left the room to do his work for the day. I had laid in my bed for a couple of hours, not able to move enough to get out of the bed, when Russia walked in. I felt his presence immediately and started to shake in fear as I turned to him keeping my eye's on the bed.

"Liet-chan your punishment is not over yet, as you know I have been in need of a new butler, that will be your new position in my household." Russia said with a smug look on his face, "As my butler you will be in charge of my estate, and you will be my personal assistant. In short you will be with me at all times."He then pulled me out of my bed and into his arms " I will be taking you to your new room now."

I was trembling in his grip as he opened to door to the servant's quarters and proceeded to walk down the hallway, up the stairs and to his room. He opened the door of the one room in this house I had never been into and sat me down on a small cushioned platform on the right side of his bed next to the wall.

"This will be Lithuania's bed , there is a blanket on the floor next to the bed for you. You may rest here for today before starting your duties tomorrow." Russia left the room and I situated myself into a comfortable position on my new bed before pulling the blanket up to cover me and looking around the room. Russia's room was very orginized and well kept.

A large king sized bed stood next to mine with a small end table on the other side of it. Across the room was a book shelf , a desk that was covered in nicely organized stacks of paper, and two doors , one labeled with the word closet the other with the word bathroom. The walls were painted a nice grey color with black carpet covering the floor. A fireplace stood in the wall at the other end of the room with white marble tiles around it to keep soot off of the carpet. After my careful study of the room I slowly drifted off into a deep sleep, not even waking when Russia came in to get ready for bed.
