Behind The Castle's

**RETURN TO CAPITAL**

Already two days after Diana returned to her side, Victoria spent her time taking walks and enjoying all the entertainment available at Duchy Argentt.

As now, after attending the opera, exhausted Victoria fell asleep in the horse carriage. The pounding of the horse's legs, the spinning wheels of the carriage that kept the carriage moving did not disturb Victoria's deep sleep in the least. Diana, who was also in the horse carriage, became the real fortress of the barrier of two couples who fell asleep by leaning each other's heads, could only continue to waste a long breath. The sight of two people in front of him made his feelings mixed, the feeling of smell and worry could only be swallowed by his mind.

When the train stops and the door glass is knocked on after Carl's voice that tells if they have arrived. Fredrick's eyes opened and immediately glanced at the head perched on his shoulder. With a faint smile Fredrick placed his index finger on his lips, telling Diana to remain silent. Diana nodded obediently and immediately got off the carriage. Like a true gentleman, Fredrick carried Victoria's body in his carrier and got out by jumping slowly from the train. A slight movement of Fredrick's body made Victoria squirm and close her head in the chest of the field that was holding her.

Fredrick's arrival greeted the guards and waiters but, as they were about to open their voices, Fredrick said that everyone did not need to open a voice that could wake up his fiancee. Fredrick's invisible orders were well conveyed.

Fredrick laid Victoria's body carefully and in a very slow motion. Pulling a blanket for her did not forget to give a kiss good night on her forehead. Although Diana wanted to protest but Fredrick's rapid movement beat Diana's mouth speed. Diana breathed a sigh.

"Done everything, tomorrow as the morning begins to come, we will return to the capital"

Fredrick's quiet whisper to Diana became the last voice to fill the room. Diana obediently nodded and immediately carried out her task.

On the other hand, the four men with all the big names, abilities that were not in doubt, were having an ongoing meeting. With Albert's ability to speak, Charles's knowledge, Philip's business skills and, all the honors of his great name and the status of his parliamentary leader, Thomas presided over their meeting.

Plan papers, circulated, questions answered, input from participants uttered and it continued until midnight.

After the secret meeting ended, Thomas massaged his temple by taking a deep breath. Charles was still busy with the business of taking notes and sorting the papers with the help of Philip. Albert looked at all his brothers-in-law who had tried so hard. Trying hard to reclaim his brother's land, his nephew and his family's honor. But, Albert's little heart wasn't completely fixed in the room, there was a pile of worries that didn't connect with their plans. Victoria. He thought of his nephew, his nephew whom he felt should take part in this.

"What's Al?"

Philip's voice sent Albert's mind back into the room and looked at Philip

"What?"

Philip stopped the movement of his hand that Charles was following, they stared fixedly at Albert

"You've always been out of focus today, what you think"

It was not the voice of Albert or Charles but it was the voice of Thomas who had already put his hand in his pocket while looking at him full of probes. Albert sighed tiredly and leaned his back against the chair

"Either... I think Victoria should know this"

Thomas was still silent by not changing the direction of his gaze which increasingly looked at Albert full of investigation, not much different from the other two brothers-in-law, who had looked at him with full judgment

"He can't intervene here Al"

Albert again sighed tiredly and looked at Philip

"Phil, I know we can't get Victoria involved but trust me, my intuition tells me we have to negotiate this with Victoria. I don't know why either"

Charles massaged his hands nervously upon hearing Albert's words, Philip silently looked at Albert, and Thomas opened his voice

"Your intuition?"

Albert answered Thomas' question with a short nod. Philip thinned his lips with the contents of his head which began to understand the situation. The Charles who was getting the better of the situation increasingly massaged his hands nervously.

"It's dangerous Al"

Once again, Albert answered Thomas's question with a nod but with a stern look.

"I get it"

"Find out a way that we can meet Victoria or at least deliver a message that could fall in her head"

Thomas's returning voice rang out making Charles and Philip stare at each other

Albert took another deep breath. Charles and Philip nodded immediately. None of them would doubt the intuition of Albert Arthur Arathorn.

The train had stopped when Victoria also started to wake up from her sleep, her waist was sore with her back almost crushed. Stretching her muscles in an ungraceful manner, Victoria's tail glanced at the amused smiling Fredrick. Standing next to the carriage door with his hands outstretched.

Fredrick nodded as Victoria had already set foot in the front yard of the palace.

"I want to go back to sleep Bash"

"Sleep Vic, take your time"

"OK..."

Calm but unsettled, Fredrick led Victoria to her room. When he got to the front of his room, Fredrick stroked Victoria's cheek gently with a gaze that could not be interpreted. Victoria frowned

"Why?"

"It's okay, get some rest. Do not trade anything first, there will be a time when we all discuss. Understood?"

Victoria knew Fredrick's words and nodded briefly, then left to go into her room. As the door closed, Fredrick turned his body and looked at Lucas who had appeared out of nowhere

"His Majesty is waiting for you, Your Highness"

"I know"

With a wide and fast pace and followed by Jeremmy, Tomy, Carl and Lucas. Fredrick walked towards the main palace, heading to King George's study.

The journey of those who followed Fredrick's steps ended when they had entered the room of King George. This time King George was not sitting on his desk chair but, on his discussion desk chair. Sit quietly with Edward, Gregory, Lincont and Keelft standing behind him.

A nod of King George made Fredrick immediately pull out his chair. The situation in the room began to be serious, the temperature made to the two men with gray eyes that made the knights except Edward gulp their saliva because they were nervous, nervous, nervousness that they themselves do not know because of what. But they are sure, this is not ordinary. The discussion table that only sits on a King and Crown Prince is enough to explain if this, regarding the stability of work. Heavy talk.

"How's he?"

King George began the conversation

"So far he's been good enough but I'll keep watching him"

King George nodded

"Until where did he touch her?"

The calm face of King George began to turn cold, not much different from the look of Fredrick's eyes that were ready to kill.

"I don't know the details, but, the story of Victoria that I was able to catch in the middle of her crying. He managed to fight back and kick the dust and then dropped to the floor to hide under the bed before..." Fredrick's mouth was moody, with clenched hands holding back anger. "Before he managed to snatch away his pride"

Fredrick's words caused King George to close his eyes firmly, restraining all his anger that had gone up into every cell of his blood. Fredrick, looking at his father, who was trying to find calm, continued

"They didn't answer my call Your Highness"

Fredrick's returning voice made King George open his eyes and immediately look at the same eyeballs similar to his.

"What are you planning?"

Fredrick returned the gaze to the two gray eyeballs that had already stared at him firmly and full of anger King George

"I'm not gonna do anything"

King George frowned
