Nobody's pov

Hungary and Cuba were sitting next to a tree. They weren't in the royal garden where Hungary thought they would go. Instead it was the place where the four brothers played when they were little. The sun was shining, the birds were singing, it was relaxing. For the past half an hour they had been talking about their past, family and other things. If a stranger saw this, they would probably think that they were friends from childhood.
"He really said that?" Hungary asked trying hard not to laugh.
"Yeah, Mexico is confusing and funny, but he can be a real pain." Cuba said remember the time when the older siblings were making fun of the little ones.
"I can feel their pain, being the youngest is good and bad at the same time."
"All of the siblings have the good and the bad side. Of course, expect the ones who get easily forgotten. They have it bad. Most importantly when the parents forgot your name."
Hungary could barely believe this. Since there were only four of them, it wasn't so hard to remember their names. But on the other side Cuba was from a really big family. With that much siblings he had it was understandable that their name got mixed up.
"Wait, how many siblings do you have?" Hungary asked. Cuba looked at him and then back ahead while thinking.
"Well.. There is Mexico he is the oldest, his flag looks like Italy's but he has a bird symbol in the middle. Then there is Argentina, his flag is light blue and white in 3 stripes with a sun symbol on the middle. Then there is me. The next are Ecuador, Venezuela and Colombia they are triplets. There flag is yellow, blue and red. While Venezuela has normal 3 stripes,
Ecuador and Colombia has more yellow. Venezuela has stars on his flag, Ecuador has a symbol and his flag is lighter than the other two and Colombia doesn't have anything. It might be because they are my siblings but I find annoying that people always confused them. Even my parents and they like it. But let's go on. There is Peru her flag looks like Austria's if he tilts his head and she has a symbol too. Then Bolivia her flag is like yours if we switch the white with yellow and put a symbol on the middle. And my youngest sibling Andorra. Blue,yellow and red vertically, with a symbol."
Hungary realised that Cuba stopped talking and looked up at him. They made eye contact before he said;
"So you have eight siblings. That must be hard, I can barely stand these three." Hungary said, feeling awkward cause he already forgot how the first one looked like. Luckily he remembered their names.
"Heh, I guess I'm used to it. I mean.. I was adopted by them when I was a newborn. My biological mother died when I was born and my mother was there when it happened. She said she promised my mother to take care of me and no matter what she would look at me as her son, but it doesn't change the fact I wasn't born IN the family. Buuut no sad story about me now. You should tell stories now, because I ran out of it!"

Cuba smiled and looked curious to Hungary. Hungary's face slowly went from a smile to a frown before thinking about what to say. He quickly figured it out that telling lies would be out of question. Cuba is a smart guy and would easily find out the truth.
"Well, my mother died when I was 13. Unfortunately.. I found her inside her room, passed out on the floor. That's where everything went downhill. My brother Reich blamed me for her death.
In his thoughts if didn't stand for too long in the doorway, she would be still alive. After a few days our father came back home but left the other day to go back to the front. A month later we were informed that he died. It was a nightmare. Weimar was supposed to be the Emperor but he didn't share the same idea. So instead of him Reich became the Emperor. As time went by he became more and more cold. Later he met Karin when we held our first ball. Thanks to our old friends it was easier to do. There he met Karin, as one of the Dukes who had closer relations with our family's daughter. And now she is 7 months pregnant with twins." Hungary skipped a few things but was satisfied with the outcome of the story.
"Wow, uhm, I heard its really rare for women to survive giving birth to twins."
"Well, yeah, but we have really good magicians that would make sure she survives." That's a lie. They didn't have any magicians. Hungary himself was more than enough for a magician. And if people questioned about it they would just say that Weimar's powers are enough and they don't need any other magician.
"Did your brother had many difficulties when he became the Emperor?" Cuba asked. He looked like he was interested in Hungary's past.
"Of course he had, but luckily our father's friends helped us through it. They teached us many things and after a long time without knowing about each other, they will come to the ball. To us they are like close relatives even if they aren't."

After that it was silent. None of them spoke to the other. They enjoyed the warm wind while sitting on the grass. After a while Hungary looked to his side where Cuba was. His eyes were closed. It wasn't clear for him that if he was sleeping or not. Hungary caught himself smiling a bit, then turned ahead and shook this feeling off. It was confusing for him to feel that. At the very beginning he hated the thought of Cuba wandering around the place and following him around. How others described him made him feel worse and he was determined to stop him from staying here, but.. Its not that bad isn't it?
But he is not gonna let his guard down for a good while. He will only be cool if he gained his trust enough.
But for now, he will only tell the necessary things to him.

15:00

"Hey Cuba?" Cuba looked at him and answered.
"Yeah?"
"What time is it?" It was quite for a while until he got an answer.
"Probably around three I think." Hungary opened his eyes and sat up.
"I must go now. I have to meet my brother." Cuba looked up with a frown.
"Do you want me to go with you?"
"No, I will be fine. Guess I will see you later." Hungary waved and left.
"Bye.. "

After ten minutes Hungary found his brother.
"Weimar!" The clearly taller man turned around to see his brother going towards him.
"Oh, hey kid! You're early. That's new." Weimar said teasingly.
"Very funny. Uhm.. Who are they?" Hungary asked after seeing a man and a woman standing behind his brother. They looked like wealthy people.
"They are from the town. We had some business to do. Go to the other guards I will be there in a second."
Hungary didn't trust them, but he can't disobey an order from an upper hand in front of people. Only the look of the couple is disgusting for him. The man is probably controlling and arrogant. It wouldn't surprise him if he beats or manipulates his kids. The woman just simply looked too much.
How she put the fan to her face so it's hidden and sometimes her lips weren't covered and it turned out she had that manipulating smile on her face. He decided to leave them alone. It would just turn out bad if he messed with them.
After a couple of minutes, as promised, Weimar appeared.
"Are you ready for training buddy?" He asked. Hungary still had a frown on.
"What did they want?"
"Eh, they wanted to come to the Ball, but because of their lack of loyalty I had to reject their request. That's all."
He answered truthfully.
"Wouldn't that make them less loyal to us?"
"Yeah, it does. But let's be honest. It's better to have an expected traitor than a unwanted incident." It's true. If they come to the Ball and proceed to maybe poison someone from an other kingdom, that's not gonna end up good.
"Yeah, I guess I get it."
"Good! Than let's get to training!"

18:00

Hungary finally opened his door and fall on his bed. This time the training wasn't so bad. Only the fact that he didn't sleep much made him tired.
He wanted to go see Austria to ask when they should meet up but it takes too much energy for him. So he stood up and walked inside his bathroom to change. After a couple of minutes he came out and turned off the lights. The next thing he knew that he was inside his bed.From tomorrow there will be more pressure. He can't make any mistakes. Every kind of mistake will cause him troubles and he doesn't need it now.
The best is that he avoids them like he does to Spain and Portugal. If he counts good, than the Emperor, the two princes and the oldest prince's fiance. And they all wanted separate rooms. Plus they will come with two personal maids. They will be put to the other ones, so it's not a big problem. Well not for him, that's Austria's job to do so he is free from that fight.
He thought through the events, until the tiredness took over him and everything went dark.
