"Good night Your Highness"
The four heavy voices of the middle-aged man instantly welcomed his arrival. He observed the old hut where he was standing now. Minimal lighting, three people standing guard at the door, the contents of the hut which contained only a round table in red, red table on which there were five teas with the contents of the plant still smoky.
"Good night"
Back he was observing around, more precisely now he was observing the appearance of four middle-aged men whose appearance was the same as his. A long black robe with a head covering that has not been removed confirms, If this meeting is very secret and he is already impatient to know. What makes it able to get secret messages to secret invitation to participate in this association. A society of men with great influence.
"Thank you for attending, Your Highness Prince Henry"
Henry smiled kindly behind his head covering and immediately pulled out a chair which made, the four middle-aged men followed after his head gave a short nod to let them sit down.
"I-I was quite surprised when I received a letter with your stamp Duke Thomas"
Thomas tied his hand on the table and nodded at Henry. Henry continued
"Ja-so.... What do we want to discuss?"
Without being stale, Thomas with all his calmness and charisma opened his voice
"We know 'about' Larina and 'what' is inside the Larina castle"
Henry's hand that was about to reach for the teacup came to a halt in the air, his head immediately turned to Thomas who was sitting quietly beside him, with a face he could not see from behind the head covering.
"Then?"
"You know our max Your Highness"
After grabbing his cup back, Henry nodded briefly and sipped the contents of his cup leisurely. Thomas continued
"From the two hundred and eighty nobles of Francia, thirty on your side and one hundred and nine nobles by our side are ready to accompany you"
Fredrick's hand shook as the resurrected met the cup plate. Hendy tried to calm down, even though he was not calm after hearing Thomas' words directly.
"Tell me clearly, your max...." Henry stared alternately at the four middle-aged men whose faces were under the head cover. "What do you want"
Charles, Albert and Philip focused their gazes on Thomas, who would represent them for their discussion tonight. Thomas calmly and the hand that kept on clinging to the table nodded briefly at his three in-laws then re-opened the sound
"We want our nephew and Duchy Albany back"
Henry joined his hands on the table and looked at Thomas
"De-by the way?"
Without a doubt Thomas replied
"Uplift you to the throne"
Henry's hand links were getting tight
"You want me to stage a coup?"
"True Your Highness"
Henry flinched and looked at the faces he could not see, trying to see their expressions even in vain.

Day seven has passed at Argentt. Today, with her body getting better and mentally better, Victoria looked at Fredrick who was busy tucking a flower stalk in her hair. His face looked serious, his eyebrows sometimes wrinkled when he felt that the flowers he slipped on were not good, his eyes were always focused on the flowers and then on Victoria's hair. Minutes passed to make Victoria tired of being treated like ornamental porslen but, when seeing how serious Fredrick when doing silly things. Victoria let in and held back her sense of boredom, for the sake of humanity.
"Done"
With eyes of amazement and a sinless smile, the two gray eyeballs continued to lament the results of his ridiculous hard work.
Victoria rolled her eyeballs
"Why?"
"No"
"You're rolling your eyeballs Vic"
With an indifferent flick, Victoria glanced at the reflection of her hair from the glass window behind the mansion's Argentt garden. Victoria's lips twitched amusedly
"You're fit to be Madan Lilah's assistant"
Fredrick clucked no like
"That's right"
While continuing to look at her hair and occasionally palpating the colorful flowers on her head, Victoria's smile rose. There were no roses there, no carelessness on top of his head, all neatly laid out in his hair.
"Do you do this a lot, Bash? you look good"
One of Fredrick's eyebrows swooped high
"Often...? adept....??"
With a brief nod, Victoria again felt the flowers that had been pinned in her hair
"Yaa.. proficient... You do this to your lovers often?"
One thick black eyebrow was getting swooped high with the side of his lips that were curved high not symmetrical.
"I? frequently decorate hair? a lover?"
"You answered the question with Bash's question"
"I'm confused by your question"
This time one of Victoria's eyebrows went down
"What part of it makes you confused?"
"All but the most confusing. Why do you think I do this so often?"
"This color looks good, you're kind of used to doing this"
Fredrick chuckled as he raised his hand to tidy up the strands of Victoria's hair that flew in the wind.
"You think I have time to decorate someone else's hair anyway" Fredrick paused and raised Victoria's chin to stop focusing on her hair. "Do you know about these words Vic..." Back Fredrick dissected, both his eyes looked at Victoria's thick bead. "about 'The hair of a girl who has been decorated with flowers goes down towards the front of the pulpit'...??"
"Cropper"
"I don't know Bash"
Indifferently throwing away their meeting of points of view, Victoria was full of lies on her lips, though in her heart she answered the truth.
The words are often used to describe the status of an engaged woman, a staus who will surely rise to the pulpit of the marriage vow while living with her partner, her fiance.
"It's a pity you don't know Vic, even if you understand that. "Fredrick took Victoria's hand and kissed her briefly. "You'll know why I'm confused by your question"
Victoria was silent, reluctant to answer and let Fredrick take her to the tea table.
Victoria graciously landed her ass in the chair that Fredrick had pulled. They were already in their sitting position, Fredrick's gaze continued to look at Victoria who was sick of biting biscuits
"Do I want us to go for a walk?"
Victoria continued to chew to finish the biscuits in her mouth, after her mouth was empty, Victoria gave a brief nod
"I want to"
Fredrick grabbed the biscuits with a smile
"Tomorrow we'll take a walk"
Victoria nodded again and placed the biscuits in her hands while looking at Fredrick fixedly
"Bash"
"Hmm?"
"I want to see Diana"
With a gaze full of inquiry but also tucked in a worried look, Fredrick nodded resignedly.
--000---000--
"I'm sorry My Lady.I'm sorry Vic. I deserve to die, I'm useless to take care of you, I deserve the death penalty"
I don't know how many times Diana spoke while crying with a body that continues to sit on the floor beside the bed. Victoria who sat on the lip of the bed tightened the link of her hand which was on the stomach. Honestly she was still quite afraid to see that face again but, by suppressing all her traumas, Victoria ventured to face reality.
"My Lady Victoria.please punish me this inappropriate, please leave everything to me, please do not forgive me who can not keep you up...."
Diana's sobbing became more and more, even now Diana's forehead was almost touching the floor with her body still clashing. Feeling increasingly unbearable, finally, with all the feelings raging in his chest, Victoria joined the fight on the floor. Diana who saw the body of Victoria who joined the fight in front of him immediately shook her head strongly while sobbing more and more
"Don't My Lady.please sit back in your position, you can't align our bodies, you drop your self-esteem seb....."
"Diana...."
Diana closed her mouth as Victoria cut her words
"Follow your head and look at me"
Diana shook strongly
"Diana. lift your head"
Victoria's resolute voice finally made Diana's head lift and looked at Victoria's smiling face at her
"Diana, I will punish you severely, are you ready?"
With the sound of crying that kept echoing inside the room and the stern look in the eyes, Diana nodded
"I'm ready My Lady, I accept my punishment Vic"
Victoria's smile grew wider and grabbed Diana's hand. Victoria looked at the two blue eyeballs Diana had already filled with tears.
"You are my law to serve me forever, you will continue to be my subject forever, are you ready?"
Diana's cry grew, even sounding out the door, heard in the ears of two men who were peering at them from the reproach of the door that was not tightly closed.
Fredrick smiled in relief, and very quietly, closed the door to immediately put an end to all his worries
