Behind The Castle's
**FIRE RUMORS**
It's been three months since Victoria left the palace. The situation grew hotter and the rumors spread more mercilessly. Even now that new rumors have sprung up, the sword-eye is not only pointing at the palace, Fredrick and Calista but also at Victoria. The stench spread like a fire that was devouring the paper and the fire was burning more and more.
Fredrick, who for days showed a grim look and unfriendly eyes, continued to swing his sword at Carl, who was also dragged into the flames of rumors. Sometimes Carl grimaces because he is unable to compensate for the excitement and agile movement of Fredrick's hand. Sometimes Carl squeaks when some parts of his body feel pain when getting hit by Fredrick's leg or hand. He felt that if it were possible in a moment, the sharp edge of Fredrick's sword eye would also hit his body
BUGH!
"ENOUGH FRED!"
Edward is getting upset like a wingless angel for Carl right now. Eventually Edward's powerful blow to Fredrick's head stopped Fredrick's movement
"You want to kill my protege hah!"
With a sense of tiredness in his body and a sense of heat in his heart, Fredrick just dropped his body into the ground that was no longer covered with snow. The spring breeze made both of his eyes tightly closed with his chest rising and falling and irregular breathing.
Look at Fredrick who's already starting to tie the demon back. Edward quickly banishes the innocent Carl to survive death. Edward took a deep breath while shaking his waist
"Carl doesn't know anything Fred, don't put your frustration on him"
"She's been too close to my wife to make Ed a bad rumor! How can I not be upset huh!"
Edward again took a deep breath and looked at Fredrick who he now realized was also jealous blind
"He's close to doing Fred's orders, sober up"
Finally the two closed eyes opened, showing the beauty of the gray eyeballs that were still glistening in annoyance. Edward who noticed the glint of the two eyeballs came closer to Fredrick and stretched out his hand. Fredrick accepted Edward's hand and straightened his back
"I don't care how broken my name is in the eyes of others, I don't care about the judgment of people who don't know me, but my wife is dragged along too. They called my wife playing crazy with her closest bodyguard because I dumped her Ed! Aarrh!!" Fredrick ruffled his hair. "It's a delay!"
"I know Fred, relax. We are waiting.Focus... It won't be long"
Fredrick's breathing wafts while standing and walking towards the camp. Edward just stared at Fredrick's back with a constant thought about the recently-crazed rumors, irresponsible mouth-mouth saying if Victoria was dumped? ohh that's right, the rumor was very far reversed with the fact, not Victoria who was dumped but Fredrick who was in the position to be thrown out. Edward is convinced that if Victoria is there having fun on top of her husband's longing madness, her husband is increasingly looking idiot even more, by just hearing someone say his wife's name a little bit his face will change muddily.
Unable to prevent, Edward chuckled amusedly while picking up Fredrick's sword. Mouth muttering.
"Hold stupid any minute now"
--000--
While munching on her biscuits, Victoria sits quietly waiting for Arthur in Arthur's study. Waiting for Arthur to finish his bath after his three-day trip, he monitored everything. The palace could not send any more letters because the spies were spreading, everything they did had to look natural. Their plan must go well.
Cklek!
The sound of the door opening made Victoria turn to Arthur who had just entered with her sleeping pajamas
"Have you eaten Ri?"
Victoria's hand put down her biscuits and nodded
"Here you go, what about you?"
Arthur pulled the chair next to Victoria
"I ate on my way home. How'd they?" Arthur looked at Victoria's increasingly bulging and round belly. "Do you have any complaints?"
Victoria's lips smiled thinly
"They're very good Archi. Other than my body there are no other complaints"
Arthur chuckled as he pinched Victoria's cheeks that were increasingly round funny
"They're going to be strong kids"
"Of course"
After speaking stale, finally the look on Arthur's face turned serious
"It's getting hotter, Vic, now they're dragging you"
Victoria who had read the newspaper this morning nodded in understanding
"They swarmed all sides" As Arthur could only sigh tiredly, Victoria continued. "Where's the parliament?"
"Hot and chaotic, now the camps are getting real, even though they still seem to side with you but sooner or later, your husband's throne will start to shake. Especially when the people began to express their protest while gathering in front of the gates of the palace and parliament"
Victoria's eyebrows are linked in
"It's worse than I thought"
"His Majesty's condition seems to be getting worse Vic. Even now, the doctor seemed to be hiding his meaningful state...."
"Long bells will ring" Victoria chimed in as she stared at the quiet candle flame. "His Majesty"
The silence occurred as Victoria's speech slid quietly but deeply. They were both busy with their own thoughts. Arthur opened his voice again
"What do you think they're gonna do after all this Vic"
Victoria looked at her brother intently and deeply
"Those who lay eyes and ears in every corner of the palace will soon know this" Victoria paused and stroked her belly "They will move to rule the palace. The owner of another supreme throne, would not waste this opportunity to show his crown. Just waiting for the time he will come out, because the one who sealed it, may be struggling with death and waiting for time"
Arthur could only remain silent as he stared at the quiet candle flame.
"Archi, please whatever happens next stay with me. Not only as your sister but also as Victoria Castalarox"
Arthur without hesitation, without needing to think immediately stood up and looked at Victoria deeply for a moment, then bowed deeply
"I, Arthur Arathorn, Duke of Albany will be with you.... Your Highness Princess Victoria"
---000---
Fredrick smiled faintly at Snow who looked comfortable with a swipe of his hand
"How long are you going to Fred?"
Still with a gaze that looked at Snow, Fredrick's hands continued to caress Snow's head and back
"I don't know Ed, we have to really go through the situation there first" Fredrick glanced at Edward who was staring at Snow. "The existence and state of 'the ace'..."
Edward nodded in understanding
"Who will you bring"
"Jeremmy, Tomy, Lucas, Carl, Gregory and Lincont. I'll bring you all the best, we hunt down time"
Edward nodded in understanding
"You left Keelft to help me?"
"To monitor Drachenburg and the two knights there"
"I understand"
Fredrick took a deep breath
"About two months, my wife's giving birth to Ed, is she gonna be okay?"
Edward looked at Fredrick deeply, his look on the face and his gray eyes filled with anxiety and worry. Edward had never seen Fredrick show this face and look in his life as Fredrick grew. Once upon a time, the look and look of that face would only be aimed at his mother but now. All of that is aimed at the mother of the prospective children later and also seems to be for her children. Edward smiled faintly.
"He'll be fine Fred, he's together and in the safest place and the warmest place. No one would dare to harass Albany. Duke Arthur will do anything for his brother"
Fredrick smiled bitterly
"I hate the idea of fighting. I should have accompanied her while pregnant, strengthened her, given her all the comforts"
Edward rolled his eyeballs in a puff as Fredrick again melted
"Don't be a stupid crybaby! your wife might not even care about you. Focus on"
"Ck! can't you lie a little bit huh? godammit! I really hate your honesty Ed"
Edward's hand stroked Snow's back while chuckling
"You're really not attractive to him Fred"
Fredrick glared with an annoyed look at Edward
"I don't need your fucking words!"
And Edward was broken
