Austrailia woke as the door opened, looking up from her bed. Noticing her handmaids coming inside, aussie tiredly got up from her bed. greeting the young girls with a warm smile before walking over to her vanity to get ready, she slipped on her silk blue dress truly fit for a princess however terrible to train in before she picked up her veil a soft blue with small pearls decorating it she sighed and covered her scared face she didn't hate her scars in fact she thought they made her look better proof of how strong she was but she knew that if she went to breakfast without it her mother would have her head.

turning to her ladies in waiting she asked "So any news or?"

"Yes your Highness, the queen wishes to meet you in the garden" one of the young women spoke

"Thank you, Queensland," Australia got up from the vanity chair fixing her hair as she walked out.

Making her way down the castle hall to the garden she knew it was another boring suitor date just the idea felt torturous she pondered over how she could get out of this, 'Lady problems? No, I used that last week how about a plan she had with friends but no that couldn't work Mother would've already checked with my schedule, I know I could just not attend!' Happy with her solution aussie spun around ready to head back to her room

"Good morning to you too, Australia" spoke her mother, France who apparently had been walking with Australia

"Mother dearest! I'm sorry i didn't see you there" Australia jumped back unaware of how her mother the person she was just planning to avoid was following her the whole time

Australia felt the hairs on her neck stand up as France looked her up and down seemingly examining every little detail of her

"Your hair is a mess today" France reached her hand to 'fix' Australia's bun even though it was perfectly fine

"Mother please-" Australia tried to get a word out

"Now come along cant keep our guests waiting" France moved on walking in front of austrailia

Australia picked up her pace to meet the Queen's keeping her head bowed avoiding meeting her mother's gaze

"You know you ought to fix your posture"

"Yes, Mother."

"And look at me when I'm speaking to you."

"Yes, mother."

Finally, after an insufferably long walk, they made it to the garden where they were greeted by the Slavic king Russian Empire and his eldest son the crowned prince USSR, Australia and Soviet were surprised by the presence of the other. Soviet looked at Australia and shrugged his shoulders, not knowing what this was about either.

"Good morning, Crown Prince USSR," Australia said in a formal tone,

"Good morning Princess Australia," Soviet returned just as formal

"Well it is good to know you two are already acquainted," France chimes in

"I trust that we can leave you two to accompany each other this morning?" Russian empire questions, turning to look at his son.

"Yes Father, I'll accompany Princess Australia through the gardens," Soviet said, with a tight smile, "it would be my pleasure to gather better relations with the princess of this kingdom"

Australia glanced at the crowned prince before bowing her head silently,

"Austrailia." France glared sternly

"Yes Mother, I'm more than happy to spend my morning pointlessly wandering in a garden." Australia rolled her eyes

"Australia, you are a Princess, act like it," France said hitting Australia lightly on the back with her fan.
