Here it is;

I chose this one, because to me, it eminates a whirlwind of emotions - worry of her family, her loved one's( Hero ;) )safety and wellbeing as well as the weight laid upon her shoulders in the running of a big and powerful, nuclear armed country, whose course of destiny and prosperity depends upon her decisions both own or counseled by her Royal Secretaries of Cassadia's many bureaucratic and administrative departments.

All of this has an unimaginable titanic pressure upon the poor girl, both on her psyche and health in general. Her younger sister, Nunnally often comments how Relena ages with several years, for every one year since the moment her older sister ascended to the throne.

This caused Relena to have initially many bouts of anxiety when ascending the throne. Especially after what a certain terrorist organization, the Islamic Emirate of Brasilistan's did back in 2014 when its offensive swept 1/5th of the New Carthage(former brasilistan).

Upon hearing the news about the capture of Solmu, a strategically important city of 2 million people in northwest New Carthage. Relena suffered a nervous breakdown from which she barely manage to recover after a week - and only after being given a sustained regular administration of a "cocktail" anti-depressants as well as emotional comfort from her siblings.

Letīs see... there was something you wrote some time ago...

"Of course, Cassadia will be happy to help with developing your nation's emerging economy. That includes direct investments into building the necessary facilities you have sought so much for while. Facilities needed for the unlocking the full potential in exploitatig the minerals of your beautiful land....That can be done of course, as Empress of the Realm Of The Fire Phoenix I have the full authority to have the Royal Cassadian Central Bank discharge a couple of low-interest loans required for the realization of these projects.

And since your government has demonstrated reliability with the recent ascendence to power of your General, I'll be happy to do so......In exchange for a couple of economic concessions, in a couple of strategic areas like ports, industrial parks and a "secure" share of your market for our goods. Of course the responsibility in enforcing this barrier will rest entirely with you, and it will be wise for your government to do so since the Corporations and the Royal Chamber Of Commerce have been very enthusiastic about the potential of your market, so much so that they'll be glad to open their wealth to "support" your government."

*Relena looks to her Royal Foreign Secretary Joachim Von Ribbentrop, who produces a range of documents from his leather folder, bearing in golden color the Fire Phoenix, and then proceeds hand the over to the head of the diplomatic delegation*
"Here. All you need to do is sign here, here and here. Do that and you'll unleash a future that is prosperous and golden for the new era which your General has ushered...oh and before that let me get the Royal Photographer, this a big moment for your government after all."

Oh Relena, you're such an opportunist.

I find it difficult, to say the least, to empathize with Relena after reading that. Not to mention, what she seemingly with no moral qualms tried to do to Ejoland. She does not only carry the burden of ruling her country - she also try to take over other countries.

For being so burdened by power, she seem very power-hungry indeed.
