Mandela Effect ( Countryhumans )

Chapter 21 : Scarlet

He didn't know how it happened, but it started at the world league.

Australia had been the frail and soft spoken type among his brothers. Canada was domineering and strict like their father, America is untamed and cunning, New Zealand is quiet yet deadly.

Even if he was the second eldest, he was still a little naive when it came to politics. Many times he had trouble governing his country and often make mistakes.

America had been the closest to him and was the most often to help him when trouble comes.

It took him nearly a decade to get used to it.

But it was all worth it when he was finally invited for the world league after 5 attempts of failure.

For the first time, Australia felt like he became a proper leader who fit in the political world. But after attending this event, he felt like a joke. There really is a big difference between heaven and earth.

The masters that attended were all big shots. Unlike him who can't even blend in and can only stay still at the corner, his brothers were interacting with other masters. Even his quiet and reserved younger brother new Zealand were circled with masters.

Australia finally knew the meaning of what a true ‘country master’ is.

He wanted to be apart of the wall behind him, hide in the shadow and be as low-key as possible. While he's having a self pity, he caught a scent of jasmine walking past him. There was a small breeze and a soft steps.

He turn to the direction where the scent came from and saw a female master. He had heard that there is a country that America is interested in, everyday, he kept talking about this certain master.

As small as she is, she carries the aura of a mighty and experienced master. At first glance, she definitely wasn't the weak type despite her appearance.

He was in a daze for a second before snapping back. He had heard America describe her face, and even though he can just search it up, he never had any interest since he was busy with his work. But to see is to believe and thought of what America stated: ‘She was as beautiful as the sun and as gentle as the breeze’

He suddenly felt like a hard rock was thrown at his heart.

Mustering up the courage to approach the youth, Australia took a deep breath. Without even taking five more steps, America came running in and casually called.

America, “philia! Great to see ya! As expected, you never miss a single attendance every world league huh?”

Just those few spoken words from his brother, Australia immediately understood that this female master stood at the top whilst he stood at the bottom.

Even so, half of his time, his focus would be of the youth and it didn't take long for the event to end. She never even once glance at him as if the big shots in the room was irrelevant in her eyes for she stood on equal ground.

After that, Australia became a fan. He would often keep up to what she's doing, reading the news that talks about her and even joined a fan page.

Ahhh, Australia, son of UK.

If his brothers and parents knew about this, he will definitely receive punishment.

Speaking of brothers, he also found out about Canada. The internet was in an uproar about it when Canada deliberately sent trashes to her country just so he can notice her.

Alas, it backfired and he dared not do something reckless again. Australia long knew that his older brother Canada was more dumb when it comes to things other than work. He can already guess that it was America behind this. Perhaps he thought this was ‘courting’ and as innocent as he is, he was scammed by his own brother.
