I was at the Royal garden attending a meeting the said Queen Elizabeth,  The thing I was not expecting that she was not the Queen Elizabeth that I expected, instead of being a tall woman, she was a child, there was also Hood, Warspite, Illustrious,

Q.E: So you are the said 'Indonesian' corvette I heard, you were made by the Royal Navy too?

B.T: Quite, I was buit in Scotland which is part of the United Kingdom.

( I will reffer to him as such because I am a lazy ass)

Hood: United Kingdom?

Warspite: How many countries are there in your world?

B.T: 195 countries, ranging from small countries to large ones.

Q.E: My that is a lot, can you tell me the story of your country?

B.T: My country was mostly a part of netherland's colony.

Hood: Isn't that the dutch monarchy?

B.T: Well yes if you want to call it, Indonesia was colonized by the dutch for three and a half centuries, and then by japan or the sakura empire for 3 years until 1945 when my country gained Independence from both countries.

Q.E: What about the said United Kindom's colonies?

B.T: Most of the British colonies had gained Independence after World War 2, Exception for Australia and New Zealand.

Illustrious: What is this World War?

B.T: The world war's were two wars where humanity fought against each other, the first World War was started by Austria and the second World War was started by Germany or in this case the Iron Blood.

Wales: Did your country partake in the war?

B.T: No, because my country was still colonized and didn't have any military strenght, but still fought a war for Independence against both the Dutch and Japan, the war for independence was a long and bloody one, there was a time where a whole city was burned down to prevent anything valuable for the dutch to take, and the dutch was supported by the United Kingdom or in this case the Royal Navy.

Q.E: HUH!? WE HELPED THE MONARCHY IN THE WAR FOR YOUR COUNTRY'S INDEPENDENCE!?

B.T: Well It is true, the Northern Parliament or Soviet Union, Eagle Union or United States, Australia, New Zealand, and India were diplomatic supporters.

Hood: How was the war fought by your people?

B.T: Guerrilla Warfare, youth volunteers also participated.

Warspite: You mean young teens and children participated?

B.T: Yes, the price of my country for my people was blood.

I saw eveyone was both shocked and terrified.

Q.E: I think I have heard enough from the independence war.

Hood: You mentioned that the Northern Parliament were diplomatic allies?

B.T: Yes, Indonesia and the Soviet Union or northern parliament, were very close after the war for independence, The parliament even sold a cruiser to indonesia.

Illustrious: May I ask what kind of food and drinks your country has?

B.T: Well we do drink tea, sometimes iced mixed with lemon or milk or even sugar.

Warspite: Why ice though?

B.T: Indonesia is a tropical country, so the weather can be very hot.

Wales: I see, Anything else?

B.T: We do drink coffee made from civet cat poop.

I immediately saw everyone spit out their tea.

Q.E: NOW THAT IS DISGUSTING!!

Warspite: ARE YOUR PEOPLE OUT OF THEIR MIND?!

B.T: Settle down, the coffee isn't made from the poop, but the coffee beans that came out along with the poop.

Hood: Go on... 

B.T: Civet cats eats the coffee fruit along with the coffee beans inside, they don't digest the beans but makes the beans taste less bitter, first the pooped out coffee beans are taken, second it is cleaned, third is to dry it for 24 to 36 hours, fourth it is processed into coffee powder.

Illustrious: Now that is interesting.

B.T: Yes it is also sold for around 100 dollars to 600 dollars a pound, making it expensive.

Warspite: But why is it so expensive? From the process of making it?

B.T: No, it's because the civets are endangered, hunted by poachers.

Wales: I see.

B.T: If you want I can brew some cups for you.

Everyone: NO!/No thanks./No.

B.T: Okay then.
