Behind The Castle's

**NOBLES**

"Di, please don't make my corset too strong"

Diana could only nod obediently and began to link the corset ropes, painstakingly starting to pull the ropes while asking how tight Victoria wanted to be.

When she was done, Diana headed straight to the closet to pick up her jewelry and coat. Victoria looked at her dress in front of the mirror

"Where's Vic?"

"Search the color of my dress only in"

"All right"

Diana deftly opened the tiara boxes one by one, and her lips smiled as she found the appropriate one

"There's Vic"

Vitoria immediately sat down to the dressing table and looked at Diana's chosen tiara

"Saphire is blue, it's more like the color of your eyes on"

Diana just smiled and started combing and then styled Victoria's hair a little. A cold day would not make Diana choose to roll all over Victoria's hair, she just braided to two sides of the hair and then curled back the hair. After that proceed with pinning her chosen tiara to Victoria's hair.

When finished, the connecting door of the room without cue suddenly opened violently. Diana was wide-eyed as Fredrick, who was wearing only a bathrobe, walked in without knowing himself.

"You left me! and don't wake me Vic!"

Diana knew enough to duck straight away and preferred to head for the closet, taking a coat for Victoria.

"You're very good at falling asleep, and I need more time to get Bash ready. I was just about to wake you up"

Fredrick immediately turned back and opened the connecting door. After the sound of the connecting door is heard. The innocent Diana immediately reappeared from behind the wall where the cabinets and cabinets Victorian needs

"Sorry At. He's been feeling better since he came back"

Diana simply nodded in understanding and lifted up her chosen coat

"Ok In.... Anything doesn't matter"

After everything was done, Diana tidied up the dressing table and all the jewelry boxes.

Victoria quickly entered Fredrick's room, and the sight of Fredrick being assisted by Mois her personal servant welcomed the beautiful scenery of Victoria's morning. Fredrick unhappily ignored the door that was opened when he had just removed his bathrobe.

"You don't look surprised and embarrassed Bash"

Leisurely, Victoria landed her buttocks onto the bedside chair, while exploring without hesitation all the beautiful workings of her husband's body

"Why shame, you've felt every inch of my body"

It wasn't Victoria who was embarrassed by Fredrick's words, it was Mois. Which makes his hand quickly pair his pants, shirt, vest and Fredrick's hairy coat.

After it was done, Mois did not want to linger any longer to be with those two equally shameless people, immediately darting away.

Victoria who saw that her husband still seemed to show an upset look when last night she was willing to work hard to please her husband offended, even for hours she served her husband's longing. Apparently, this morning had to find back the upset look of her husband on the grounds that he was left in bed alone.

"Come on Bash. If your face keeps on bending like that, you look ugly"

Fredrick grunted violently

"This bastard is ugly"

Victoria rolled her eyes lazily. Sure enough, Fredrick went back to discussing the matter yesterday afternoon!

"My handsome bastard's husband is now ready. Come on, baby, we'll have breakfast, we'll be late"

Struggling to keep his shy face flat, Fredrick let Victoria pull her hand towards the exit of his room.

--000--

Meetings are ongoing. After Fredrick gave a report on the construction of the western region, questions, arguments and also input from the gentlemen continued to flow. Victoria occasionally chimed in and chimed in as input flowed. Sometimes Victoria asks or is asked. Obviously this meeting felt different from previous meetings because, after the execution occurred, Victoria's fangs were quite reluctant. Not only Victoria, James and Steven also feel especially Fredrick who can now breathe calmly

"Alright, our decision has been made. Just apply to His Majesty"

Steven re-opened another agenda in the meeting on taxes, and this meeting was quite draining and emotional. Including Fredrick, he hated it when the nobles didn't want to share, even when they hadn't shared anything. They don't have to share, do they if they don't buy luxury goods? But apparently, they still don't want to accept Victoria's plan.

"It's not fair Your Highness, if we're taxed so high, is tantamount to blackmailing us. For example, my wife and son at least once every three days have to buy a dress or jewelry, and myself...."

"Means you have to reduce the duration of that shopping Viscount"

James instantly cut off the remark of a stubborn gentleman not wanting to give up.

"I'm not done talking Earl Xenas!"

"OK! calm down" Fredrick casually, indifferently and calmly folded his hands in front of his chest. "So you still don't want taxes from the things mentioned earlier?"

"Not so Your Highness, but the tax amount is too large. We understand if this is for a while and for the future good of all of us, but again, that number is very much. Whereas as Viscount said earlier, our wife and children are used to shopping for needs according to their wishes"

A gentleman calmly tries to answer Fredrick, Fredrick who does not understand the business needs of his wife, children and things smelling of household complexity just glanced at Victoria who seemed to think. Quite a long moment of silence ensued until Victoria's head nodded briefly at Fredrick, Fredrick returning Victoria's nod. Signs that Victoria can talk

"alright... I as a noble cannot judge that custom. It's ingrained in us, I think as women understand that" Victoria took a deep breath. "But, can you really not? it's only been a few months, I promise it won't be for years"

"Your Highness, actually I want to be quiet but because you still want to stick to your arguments and plans. I want to ask you what you think. You are now a member of the palace's nuclear family which means dress, your jewelry is now in the can of the people's taxes including from us. And in addition to sustaining your luxury, should we also press ourselves for the whole thing?"

Victoria knows this. Things like this would definitely happen later on, so when this thought flashed inside his head, he had already prepared everything before his ring finger coiled the golden ring. Victoria glanced at Fredrick who only replied with a brief glance and raised her cup. Signs he doesn't care and as if to say "Go ahead Vic"

Victoria took a deep breath and stared fixedly at the gentleman who asked her earlier. A sweet smile rose on his lips and Fredrick knew that sweet smile was also a sign of something

"Marquesses. Your question is quite funny to me, you seem to say if I'm nothing but a prank after marrying His Highness?"

"No Your Highness... I'm sorry, I'm maxed out it's not that"

Victoria caught the panic of the middle-aged man in front of the left of her chair. Victoria smiled with forgiveness.

"I understand and would not dismiss such questions and thoughts if I were also in the position of gentlemen, no problem, I am not offended but...." Victoria stared one at a time at the faces of everyone except her husband. "All the things that stick to my body are from Albany, all. Unless it's royal jewelry. Even this...." Victoria raised the back of her left hand and raised the back of Fredrick's left hand, where their ring was embedded. "It's from Albany and from Albany's money so....." Victoria gracefully put back her husband's still gasping hand. "I don't live and enjoy my luxury n*fsu from your money"

Feeling that Victorian speech is sharp enough makes things uncomfortable, especially for gentlemen. Steven who quickly read the situation instantly continued. And so the rejection came back that Fredrick felt his butt getting hot from sitting too long, he wanted to get out of there and finally chose to interfere

"It seems difficult. Then, if you don't accept Her Highness' plan. Put on my plan"

All heads immediately looked at Fredrick with a curious look

"Rules, one week twice"

"Can't Your Highness!"

Things got worse and it made Fredrick smile.

"You know if I can't accept arguments and refutations if the plan comes out of my mouth and head. You're not the first time you've met with me. So.... make your choice, tax or dues?"

Well... If this is the case, Victoria just lifted her teacup. Wherever they might want to give money freely for the colony. Nobles are still nobles, their ego and pride are stuck to the bone.
