Seeing the big palace is like a dream. But with rather sleepy eyes made it less magical. Rsfsr hade slept almost all the time, I notice though his energy. I hadn't gotten that much sleep, I was worried something would happen or what if Rsfsr couldn't behave? The clock is around 18:30 (6:30 pm), and people have already begun to walk inside.

"Now I won't force you to stay with me, I think it would be good for you to meet someone your age. Just don't leave the palace" I said while we started walking to the door. 

"Yeah, I didn't want to stay with you and your pampered friends anyways" he answered. I just ignored that and kept walking. We shortly entered the palace—the amount of detail in everything, the golden chandeliers. We took off our coats and hung them up.  I looked around trying to find someone familiar, I spotted Britan standing talking to a small group of other males. Maybe France is around then. Rsfsr followed with, I guess he will go if he wants to.

"Hello Britan!" I said, joining the group of people.

"Ah Russian Empire, you made it!" He said happily.

"Yeah, I got the letter three days ago so just in time" I answered.

"How wonderful, and who is this young man next to you?" he asked and looked at Rsfsr.

"Oh yeah, you haven't met him yet. Well, this is Rsfsr, my son!" I explained.

"Well nice to meet you Rsfsr, you can call me Britan" I said while reaching out for a handshake, Rsfsr shook his hand.

"You don't happen to know where France is?" I asked Britan.

"I think she is in the kitchen helping, you can go check, staff will probably know who you are" he answered while pointing to a door.  I gave him a quick smile and started walking to the door. 

**Knock knock**

I opened the door, and Britan was right. France, Kingdom of Hungary and Austria-Hungary were there helping with deserts. France turned her head towards the door.

[half screaming] "Russian Empire!" 

"That would be me" I said.

[Smiling in disbelief]"I thought you wouldn't make it in time?"

"I got the letter just in time, do you ladies need help with anything?" I asked.

"Well we are about to carry everything out, we wouldn't mind a helping hand or two. Who is the little one next to you?" Hungary Asked.

"Right, this is Rsfsr, my son" I moved, him more visible.

"Aw, how nice you look! How old are you?" France said.

"I'm 13 years old" Rsfsr answered.

[Shocked] "Oh I thought you were older, you look much older, like 15 or 16 maybe" Hungary said.

"Come on, Mother, he does not look my age" Austria-Hungary stated.

"I mean he's quite tall for that age".

"Well, have you looked at his father? You maybe only maybe can see where he got that from.

[Sarcastically] "Oh please, I'm just 194cm tall" I said.

"You're just jealous that you are shorter" Hungary teased Austria-Hungary.

"Girls usually are shorter, and German Empire is still longer than him and older" she said, grabbing two plates of desserts. 

"Who is German Empire?" Rsfsr asked.

"That would be Prussia's son, you haven't met him" I said

"Your son hasn't met Prussias?" France asked
