Y/n's P.O.V

It's already been a few weeks since the others had to go back to their hometown. The group chat that I made with the other countries has actually been quite rowdy, but I haven't been able to read any of their texts since I've been so busy. After registering and finally being accepted to be a full on country I've been busy with keeping my people satisfied and happy. I've already made an alliance with my two brothers if I ever needed help and some country decided to call a war on me. I've been sending emails to other countries and reading their replies so then I can meet up with them to try and make an alliance with them and it's been quite stressful. Having to be professional at all times, and since we're talking about the countries from all over the world all their timestamps are different meaning that I've been pulling some all nighters and only getting thirty-minutes to an hour of sleep. 

I've been writing down dates and times on when I should meet the other countries and try and make a compromise with them. Right now the only thing that I myself can offer are flowers, since my country name translates to "Bird Of Paradise", my people have been growing different types of flowers besides the bird of paradise flower. It's to the point where they decided to make a walking museum/garden of flowers and called it "The Thousand Cranes of Flowers" (not real by the way, just something I made up ^^). The name has a nice ring to it and I don't mind. Some countries were a bit hesitant with making an alliance with me, but after I told them that the flowers aren't just for decoration they said that they'll think about it and that we should meet up.

It made me happy that I could form more alliances with them but it made me more stressed and tired since I had to find when they were free and some of them weren't sure themselves since they themselves are also busy with their own people and their needs. A prime minister was also chosen to help me with the plans of meeting the other countries. It was a young man, maybe in his early 20s. His name is Noah and he's a very nice person and helps me a lot. Even though he's quite young he really knows how to do his job. When I get stressed or get confused with the dates and times he helps me out and sometimes tells me to take a break and let him handle it while I go and let my brain take a break. He's a very reliable person and I'm thankful that I'm working with someone that I really need to rely on besides my brothers.

I was on a Skype call with Noah as we were talking about meeting up with China, well...he was. I was dozing off, on accident of course!

"So I was thinking the 23rd of November to fly overseas to meet up with China and Premier Li Keqiang. Somewhere in the afternoon would be good as well. I checked the weather on that day and it turns out to be a perfect day, especially in the after..noon...Y/n...?"

"H-huh!!" I quickly open my eyes and looked around.

"I said will the 23rd of November in the afternoon be fine to meet up with China"

"O-oh! Yeah of course!!" I smile at him but then I start to blank out. "Wait..what for???" I questioned tilting my head. I rub my eyes a bit to have the sleepiness go away as I heard him sigh.

"For the alliance Y/n" he looks at me smiling softly as my eyes widen.

"Psh! Of course I knew that!! I was just testing you" I say looking at him. I soon saw his eyes soften.

"Why not you go and get some rest, you're obviously tired."

"Me? Tired? No way! Strelitzia Reginae does not get tired!"
