"Ah~ This jasmine tea is so refreshing!" the Ukrainian country, who introduced herself to me as Katyusha, said in delight.

"Here, Miss Ukraine, have some blueberry cookies too," Lili offered her.
"Thank you so much, Liechtenstein!"
Lili smiled in response.

It was late afternoon and all the female countries had invited me to a tea party hosted for Katyusha, who had just returned to the mansion from her country after work.

We were seating at a tea table in the rose garden, admiring the beautiful flowers and giggling at each other's jokes. The table was filled with different kinds of desserts and adorned teacups.

"It's really nice to have a tea party like this," I smiled.
"That's right! We should do this more often," Seychelles grinned.

I suddenly remembered I didn't get her name last time. "Excuse me, Seychelles. May I know what to call you?" I asked.

"Oops! I forgot to tell you last time, you can call me Sesel!" she beamed.
I nodded. "Yes, Sesel."
"Oh!"

Sesel pulled the cherry-blonde girl beside her into a half hug and smiled brightly. "And this is Monaco! She is friendly but really shy!" she said.

The bespectacled girl calmly spoke without lowering her teacup from her lips. "My name is Lucille Bonnefoy. It's a pleasure to meet you."

"It's a pleasure to meet you too. Are you by any chance related to Francis?"
"Yes."

"I see," I smiled. She seemed like a quiet person, so I decided not to bother her much with my questions. Unexpectedly, I felt someone's intense gaze on me. I looked at the other side and found a brunette girl staring at me.

I blinked. "I-Is something wrong?"

The girl must've realized she was staring at me so she averted her gaze. "I-It's nothing. I thought you would be eager to introduce yourself to me."

Looking at her confused, I realized that perhaps she couldn't tell she wanted to introduce herself too.

I let out a soft chuckle.

"Yes, that's right. My name is (Y/n), and yours?" I asked.

The girl's purple eyes beamed in excitement. "I am the great Czech Republic, but my other name is Hedvika Libuše Jelínková! I'll allow you to call me by my given name," she proudly boasted.

"Alright, I will, Hedvika," I smiled.

"Czech is the same as usual," Katyusha laughed.

We resumed to helping ourselves with the desserts. I loved the strawberry tarts and shyly took a few more.

"Belgium, why aren't you having any desserts?" Miss Elizabeta asked her.

The Belgian girl made a sad pout. "I'm on a diet."

"Oh no! But you already are in a good shape! You don't need any diet!" Miss Elizabeta insisted.

"Say that to yourself. You haven't touched anything yet either," Hedvika remarked.
"Well, that's because I already had tea..."
Sesel quickly chimed in. "Was it with Austria?"

The Hungarian woman's face grew red and everyone except for Natalya and Lucille leaned forward, excitedly.

"So it is true!! I knew it!" Sesel squealed.
"Having tea with your loved one sounds so nice," Lili shyly giggled.
"Then what happened?" Hedvika asked.

"Nothing much," Miss Elizabeta waved her hands in front of her.

"Aren't you and Mr. Roderich going out tomorrow?" I said, smiling. My words created an uproar. 

"Oooooooooooooohhh~"

The brunette woman hid her face in her palms out of embarrassment.

I giggled. "I'm sorry, Ms. Elizabeta. But you and Mr. Roderich make a wonderful couple."

After hearing my words, she put her hands down from her face and we could see the gentle shy smile on it.

Love surely is a beautiful feeling.

Sesel sighed. "I wish I had a lover too." Suddenly, her eyes locked on me.

"(Y/n), do you have someone you like?"
