Behind The Castle's
"CALISTA SMILE**
The activity at Castle Larina this morning was the same as usual. The servants passed by and did their work while occasionally chattering casually, the guards were the same as usual, guarding every large door in every place with an unshakable standing, the bodyguards also looked like normal, patrolling while occasionally chatting and, the owner also looked like normal.
Staring out the window with a view of the hill that looked bleached. The snow star continued to fall to earth, the cold wind kept blowing and Queen Elisabeth calmly sat down to enjoy her tea and snacks, accompanied by her son and servant.
"Your Majesty, 'That little fire' turned out to be extinguished" Queen Elisabeth nodded briefly as she chewed on the last bite of kookies in her hand. "Their blessing turned out to be quite strong, their mutual trust we can not underestimate. Especially Arathorn woman, she is a good enough wife and loves her husband"
Queen Elisabeth chuckled amusedly and turned to her private servant who spoke
"Consider each other? of love? a good wife?" Back, Queen Elisabeth chuckled. "There's nothing like it on them Nina"
That waitress, Nina. Pouring the tea into the teacup of the man sitting quietly in front of Queen Elisabeth. And Queen Elisabeth's voice was heard again.
"They're both tougher than I thought. I think George made a little mistake but he didn't. They had matured enough Nin" Nina looked at Queen Elisabeth and the man in front of her alternately, then nodded. Queen Elisabeth continued "They are a couple who have no heart. And this is dangerous. Very dangerous"
"Are we going to start a moderate fire any time soon, mother?"
Twirling her cup, Queen Elisabeth smiled at her son
"Now is the right time Hen"
Henry nodded in understanding and immediately stood up politely from the chair. After Henry disappeared, Nina looked at Queen Elisabeth
"Does that 'boy' believe in all your stories, Your Majesty?"
Queen Elisabeth seemed to think for a moment then shook her head briefly
"Let's see how it will be when the fire has fallen in Drachenburg. To what extent can we use it"

"Al, what keeps your face like that?"
Charles who could not stand the seriousness of the look on Albert's face finally made a sound. Thomas who was still playing with his papers and parchments let go of his gaze and turned to Albert who was still silent while folding his hands in front of his chest. His face was clearly thinking hard.
"Al?"
"I'm just thinking of the palace"
This time Thomas completely let go of everything he was holding and turned his chair to the side for him and Albert to face. Charles is not much different, the ink and quill pen of his soul mate has been stored neatly.
"Are you thinking about Victoria?"
"Ck! of course, who else is it that makes me bother to think about the palace"
"He's fine"
Charles nodded approvingly at Thomas's remark, and Albert wasted a tired breath
"Someone else will be dragged in the courtroom later. I don't know why I'm worried about Thom. But that's not all that's stuck in my heart, it feels like there's going to be something"
"We can only pray for Al's future. It's Victoria's own choice"
Charles chimed in on Albert's words calmly and wisely, even though he himself had also become anxious. Don't forget that Albert's intuition happens often
--000--
"Ck! So this is the reason they gave up their family or child into the golden knight's room?"
Fredrick nodded and rolled the parchment in his hand.
"In addition to the connections, as you just read, this is all also to eat away at the kingdom"
Victoria let out a tired sigh and raised her cup while glancing at Fredrick who was reading a worn-out parchment. Parchment evidence of the crime of someone who some time ago has been executed. Adam and his colony
"Are you angry Bash?"
With his face still fixed on the parchment, Fredrick glanced at Victoria.
"Little bit. You guys didn't say anything to me"
Victoria's two eyeballs stared fixedly at Fredrick
"And if we tell you this plan, will you approve it?"
Fredrick's hand moved around rolling the parchment, and nonchalantly threw the parchment into the wooden box
"Come on. But maybe I'll have doubts by then. Maybe I'll try to buy you guys time or maybe I'll get in your way" Fredrick's index finger started scratching the cup. "Indeed your right choice didn't involve or tell me Vic. Very precise"
"Are you sad Bash?"
Fredrick smiled bitterly.
Gracefully, Victoria lifted her cup and took a sip of the contents, then put the cup back down and said
"The truth is, me and His Majesty didn't really plan this together. At first I just smelled their fishy scent but couldn't have any proof. That's why I played the drama and also to lure His Majesty. And it turns out, the results are like this"
Fredrick looked at Victoria with a proud smile
"I know, that's why I couldn't smell this plan in the first place. Because to be honest, if you guys were planning this, I'd know a long way from the day before the court filing"
Both of Victoria's eyes squinted sharply, staring at Fredrick full of probing
"Lucas or Carl?"
Fredrick simply swiped over with an indifferent wink and a smile full of mystery
--000--
Calista let out a tired sigh while continuing to massage his temple. But he wouldn't give up, his hand back to scratch the ink onto the paper.
"You need to rest first My Lady"
"Can't, I can't stay quiet"
"But you're recovering and your wrist should also rest a lot more your body and mind. I don't want you to get sick anymore"
Calista let out a tired sigh and glanced at his servant who seemed to continue to show a worried look.
"I'm doing fine. I cannot be weak. I need to have an ally soon. I'm....." With a choking breath, Calista tried to take a deep breath. His attendant who noticed it instantly drew closer to Calista, rubbing her back slowly, as if it could provide some calm. "I'm alone now. I don't have anyone"
"You still have His Highness Prince Fredrick, My Lady"
Calista shook her head strongly with teary eyes
"I can't depend on him, he's changed too much and I don't know him now, he's not like my Fredrick"
With teary eyes, Calista's servant could only try to provide comfort by hugging the woman he thought was poor. How not, after losing his mother, then join his father as well, and that's because of the name there, the Palace.
"You must be strong and patient Lady"
Calista tightened her hug while nodding resignedly. After their embrace unraveled, the sound of knocking on the door made his servant instantly open the door. In front of the door, it was the butler Gafton who appeared. Enter politely while giving a stack of mail envelopes.
Calista quickly opened the letter one by one and the contents of the letter made Calista throw all the letters into the fireplace while clenching his hands.
"What's the Lady?"
"They're not brave, they're very careful and don't want to get into trouble. A coward!" Calista took a deep breath. "Damn it! how can the palace change so quickly just because of a little woman!"
Calista's two hands clenched even more firmly and the door returned on tap. The servant swiftly opened the door. It was the family guards who showed up
"What's wrong?"
"There's a letter coming My Lady"
Angrily Calista ignored the bodyguard and returned to hold his quill pen.
"Of course, the contents will also be the same, every day their replies remain the same"
The bodyguard glanced at Calista's servant who seemed to nod approvingly to Calista's remark but,
"This is another letter Lady"
Calista's hand stopped and raised his gaze looking at the guard curiously
"Where from?"
"Meline"
Calista's two eyebrows linked together and immediately reached out asking for a letter. After the guards left and the door was closed. Calista immediately opened the letter and. both eyes were rounded with shocked faces, the look of the face did not last long because, his surprised look turned into a grin.
With a quick movement, his hand grabbed the blank paper and wrote something down there. Put it in an envelope without a seal and give it to his curious-looking servant
"Give this reply carefully to...." The corner next to Calista's lips lifted high, her lips smiling slanted and skinnish. "Meline"
