Behind The Castle's

**LIMITATION II**

Victoria just kept quiet, as she continued to stare far ahead. Charlotte, who felt that if she did not get an answer, turned to look at her sister, tried to find an answer by reading the look of her sister's face, a look of calm with a thin smile on her lips, and Charlotte knew, she knew her sister, Victoria's inertia made her grab her sister's hand slowly and hold her gently

Victoria turned her head to look at Charlotte who was already clasping her hands, looking at Charlotte who was looking at her with a sad but also firm look. Victoria smiled warmly again

"Let's meet Archi, Lottie. He must be surprised to see you"

Victoria's excited speech made Charlotte look more at her sister with sadness and then shook her head briefly

"I can't Ri"

"Hm..?" Victoria stared at her brother. "Why?"

"Color...." Charlotte took a deep breath and smiled shyly. "The color I can't leave Vancia for too long, I. I'm pregnant Ri"

Victoria's brows furrowed deeply and looked at her brother with a confused and surprised face as well. Victoria was quite surprised by her sister's words and confused by seeing Charlotte's shy smile. Why did Charlotte even smile 'embarrassed' instead of 'embarrassed'? Getting pregnant without marriage is a disgrace! it's sin! but, Victoria did not want to spoil the atmosphere and tried to ignore that thought, with her conflicting thoughts and heart trying to force her smile

"Ahh... How old is he?"

Charlotte still smiled shyly and continued to hold the hand of her sister who had returned the grip of her hand

"Four weeks Ri"

Victoria's head nodded briefly. Charlotte glanced around for a moment and looked back at Victoria. This time his face turned serious with resolute eyes.

"Ri, do you remember what they did to us? to our parents? to Albany?"

Victoria's forehead frowned, not because of her brother's speech but because of the look on Charlotte's face that she had never seen, the look of a firm face and also... full of hatred and anger? Victoria answered with a brief nod, a nod that explained all her heart, because during her life she would not be able to forget it, her wounds would never be healed unless death had already picked her up.

Charlotte approached Victoria, with her hand growing stronger. Charlotte was staring closely at her sister's eyeballs. The two eyeballs that increasingly made his gaze filled with hatred and anger. Both eyes reminded him of his mother's eyes

"R... Let's get them back"

Victoria stared intently at Charlotte, trying to find out the max of her brother's words

"What's your max, Lottie?"

"We avenge them Ri, we destroy them, we destroy those who have killed and destroyed our lives! We have to avenge them all"

Victoria's body stiffened, her hands trembled, her face turned flat, her hand grip weakened

"W-what's mom...."

"We're destroying this kingdom"

Silence was occurring between them, the wind blowing moved their beautiful draped hair, the friction of the sound of leaves on top of the trees being blown by the wind was clearly heard in their silence. Victoria remained silent even as Charlotte tightened their hands, both eyeballs as blue as the bright sky that was the same color as her father's eyeballs glinting brightly and firmly.

Slowly, Victoria let go of her hand while forcing a thin smile. Charlotte stared at their separated hands with an indescribable look

"I'm gonna forget this conversation about Lottie, I'm gonna assume this whole conversation never happened, so. We'll forget about it, okay...?"

Charlotte clenched her separated hand from her sister's

"I really want this and I'll never pull my words"

Silence was between them, again,

Victoria looked at her sister with a changed face, her face flat with a cold gaze

"You're asking me to destroy this kingdom? offer it to me? invite and offer a Queen to destroy her own kingdom?..... Lottie?"

Charlotte threw away her face and looked forward with a still shiny look full of anger and resentment

"You haven't been introduced to Queen Ri, your ceremony hasn't happened yet, you can still take it off, you're just their chess pawn, you......"

"You changed Lottie"

Charlotte turned to look back at Victoria when unfinished speech in her voice, immediately cut off with a firm voice Victoria

"You're the one who changed Ri... You've forgotten your family too far. Did you forget Grandpa's words?" Charlotte stood up as Victoria stood up and tried to get closer to her sister who immediately retreated her steps, giving her some distance. Charlotte froze in place, her gaze became sad and looked at her sister deeply. "They killed our parents Ri, ruined our lives, I am your family Ri!! You're my sister! You forgot what Grandpa said? you forgot the Arathorn principle?"

Charlotte's smile rose with her head nodding as Victoria voiced out and answered her words firmly without hesitation. She knew that her sister would never forget the mandate of her family's descent but, uh,

"But I'm not Arathorn anymore, Lottie" Charlotte's smile faded. "I'm Victoria Alexandrina Castalarox and I'm a Queen of Francia"

For the umpteenth time silence was between them, Charlotte looked at her sister with a look of disbelief. Victoria looked at her brother with a stern look and a flat face.

"You're not my Victoria"

"And you're not my Charlotte"

Chief Charlotte immediately shook her head strongly, she had not given up on approaching and reassuring her sister

"I'm still your Lottie and always will be your Lottie. Ri, believe me, we have to do this. Have you forgotten all your pain? have you forgotten what you saw that day? What they give you until you're like this Ri!!!" Victoria regained her stride and Charlotte kept advancing until she grabbed her sister's hand back, clasped it firmly, and looked at Victoria with a gaze filled with anger and hatred. "You can't betray your family! Mom and Dad will be disappointed in you!!!"

This time Victoria brushed Charlotte's hand aside and confidently again put some distance on them. Both of Victoria's eyes stared glazedly sharp and resolutely, staring at her brother who was looking back at her in disbelief

"If you destroy this work, you will destroy Albany Lottie, you..."

"We'll take care of Albany! Albany we'll make sure we stay safe, we'll keep Duchy with Riri.."

Victoria smiled wryly and stared fixedly at her brother's face

"Is this what that bastard is offering you?" Charlotte's mouth closed, the look in her eyes turned sharp and her countenance turned cold. Victoria, who saw the look on her face once again, never saw her sister, continued her speech without hesitation. "Albany is part Francia, Francia is the kingdom that protects the whole kingdom. If you destroy the kingdom, no one can guarantee the state of Albany"

Victoria's words made Charlotte laugh

"You've really changed Riri, sober Ri! It's not too late for you to go back to your family, you can't disappoint mom and dad! we're the proud children of Arathorn!"

Victoria's lips crept sharply with a sharpened gaze, looking at her brother with a stern but also reproachful look

"Pride? You're talking pride to me?" Charlotte did not flinch and just stared at Victoria, waiting for what was the max of Victoria's words. Victoria smiled thinly. "Don't say about pride when you can't keep your honor Lottie"

Charlotte's eyebrows are creaking deep

"What's your max?"

"Customer? Disappointing our parents??" Victoria smiled back. "Don't talk to me about it when you can't take care of Lottie. You who can't keep your pride and honor don't have the right to say our parents' disappointment to me"

Both of Charlotte's eyes were rounded, her face staring at Victoria with a thousand incredulous looks, staring at Victoria who was insulting her

"You... You insulted me?"

"True, I was insulting a woman who was willing to drown in sin and immoral acts because of her foolish love, because her blind love was willing to throw away her honor as a woman who came from honorable blood"

"Riii!"

"And foolishly dictate to others when he is full of ignorance and humiliation"

"Relen!!!"

"What's your change because that bastard's Lottie?"

Charlotte's hands clenched tightly, her face flushed red, the look in her eyes clearly showing her inadmissibility with her sister's sharp speech

"Shut up! you have no right to insult me and punish him, if not for him I would not have survived to this day"

"That color you're willing to give your pride to that bastard?"

"ENOUGH VICTORIA!"

"And come to me not because you miss and love me, but because of your hatred and anger?"
