The year was 1254, after the defeat of The Teutonic Knight by the Sambians (an ancient Baltic Prussian tribe who inhabited the Sambia Peninsula north of the city of Königsberg - now Kaliningrad) in their Prussian Crusade campaign in 1252; Poppo von Osterna - the new Grand Master of Teutonic Oder and The Pope, Innocent IV, began preaching a crusade against the Sambians, and sending embassies to the Kings of Hungary, Bohemia, and the princes of the Holy Roman Empire. Answering their call, King Ottokar II of Bohemia gathering 60,000-strong crusaders -included Bohemians and Austrians as at that time Ottokar was also the Duke of Austria thanks to his marriage to Margaret of Babenberg, the sister of Duke Frederick II of Babenberg, the last male ruler from House Babenburg of Austria, who passed away in 1246 and left no heir behind.

The Bohemian King was a young, brilliant, and ambitious man. He joined the Crusaders not only by pure desire to conquer the Pagans. Ottokar was competing for the throne of the Holy Roman Empire (HRE), so he needed to win the Pope's favor to support him in the next election to become the emperor of HRE. And that was not his only issue.

Ottokar's wife Lady Margaret of Babenberg, who was 30 years his senior, could not bear a child. Meanwhile, Ottokar had an affair with Margaret 's lady in waiting, Agnes of Kurening, a lady famous for her beauty and her short red hair. Agnes was pregnant around this time (and she would give birth to her first child, a son named Nikolas in 1255). Conquering the Pagan would be the chance for Ottokar to convince the Pope not only to annul the marriage with Margaret but perhaps also to legitimate his son with Agnes as his lawful heir if he ever had one.

Ottokar was a man talented at war, and soon, crushed the Sambians at the Battle of Rudau, and forced the Prussians underwent baptism. In less than a month, Samland was conquered. To express their gratitude toward the Bohemian King, the Teutonic Knights built the City of Königsberg (means King's Mountain) in January 1255 on settlement of the Old Prussian named Tvangste to honour Ottakar.

In the early 1255, the Crusaders returned to their kingdom. And I imagine that they brought many exotic things and bizarre creatures from the Pagan Land to present to the Court. And there was this one particular creature that captured the Lady of Austria's eyes, who was said to be the Leader of the Pagan. She was surprised at first, as he was so different from what she had heard from the whispers of the Courtiers, that he was a monster with inhuman strength who had slaughtered endless Christian soldiers. But before her eyes, she only saw a wounded man, who was in such a pitiful state that moved her heart.

And how could we ask them to believe The Lord's kindness if they had never experienced it before?

With that thought, the Duchy of Austria decided to wipe the prisoner's face with a damp cloth like St. Veronica did on the way to Golgotha. Little did the Little Duchy know that the more kindness she displayed to the man bounded before her, the more hatred and obsession he grew with her that would last for a thousand years.

-----------------------

I don't follow the cannon, the more I learned about the history of Prussia that goes back to the ancient Prussia Baltic tribe. The more I realize how complicated the relationship of PruAus is. As I consider HRE would be a separate person from Germany (he was more like Ludwig's uncle), who was a lot older than in the cannon, while Prussia is the representation of the land rather than the people. HRE and Gilbert would hardly get a smooth relationship, especially when one of the people who signed the Golden Bull decree, allowing the Teuton Knight to fight and keep the land of Prussia for themselves, was Holy Roman Emperor, Frederick II.

And once you realize, Austria would be the favorite siblings of the Holy Roman Empire later, the relationship of PruAus would become this spiceful, typical (and corny) revenge love story that involves the main character falling in love (or obsession) with the sister of the man the main character once swore to destroy. So, in my mind, these two are not exactly love-hate relationships but much more complex and painful when you know their history.

(Btw, my headcannon for Female Austria's last name to be Barbenburg rather than Edelstein or Hasburg. There is a historical reason for this, but this post has been too long, so I will save the explanation for another time.)

Some interesting fact:

The two Coat of Arm on the wall represented two houses, the Barbenburg (the left one), with the red and white colors which would be used as the Austria's flag in the modern times, and the coat of arms of the Přemysl (on the right), once the ruling royal family of Bohemia.
