Behind The Castle's

**QUEEN'S DOG**

"I'm sorry for my delay"

Albert nodded briefly without staring at the direction of the voice. Albert just stared at all the gentlemen's faces looking confused, surprised and wondering.

Charles and Thomas are not much different, their eyes follow the steps of the guests which is quite confusing but also enthusiastic

"Good morning, dear gentlemen. We may not have officially met...." This time Albert's head turned to the person he was waiting for, his slanted smile re-emerged which was immediately countered with that person's slanted smile. "Meet me, I am Arthur Beneddict William Arathorn. The Duke of Albany"

The situation became very quiet, various questions must immediately fill all the contents of the head there except Albert who calmly nodded once at Arthur who immediately stepped closer to Albert. Arthur glanced at Charles and Thomas who looked at him with faces full of questions but also seemed enthusiastic without making a sound, they preferred to wait in their audience seats.

Albert held up his leaning butt in front of his desk, his eyes staring firmly and sharply at all the gentlemen there with his voice re-sounding

"Duke Arthur, you're late"

Albert also stared at all the gentlemen with a firm and sharp tone even though his voice again sounded on a different purpose

"I was late because I had to read and had to 'remember' all the names of the gentlemen"

The corner of Thomas' lips twitched amusedly. Charles shook his head while smiling. The Arathorns are very cunning, it turns out that Albert has prepared all this. It's clearly a threat. Bringing the Albany owner is a grave and deadly threat to the gentlemen there. Well... Charles will still choose his audience seat while glancing at Thomas who is also very visible choosing to sit sweetly in the audience seat.

"And have you remembered all the names so well" Albert smiled broadly at Arthur. "Duke Arthur?"

"Of course, I've even remembered all the property and any relationship our family had with the parliamentarians especially, for their property and trade relationship with Albany"

Albert immediately nodded dramatically, Arthur who was conscious or not also nodded dramatically. The silence in the room made Albert immediately return to give an attack

"How are the gentlemen, when are you going to send help to the palace?"

A gentleman with a capital of courage immediately stood up from his chair and stared alternately at the strongest and richest families in Francia

"What's the reason you're doing this?"

Albert smiled curiously and Arthur immediately smiled with honor and strength as he looked at the questioner

"Of course it's because of us....." Thomas shook his head with a smile, Charles smiled broadly as he closed his eyes, Albert grinning. "Dog from Her Majesty Queen Victoria, our family"

Arthur's relaxed answer but filled with the scent of threats made the gentlemen sit uneasily, the questioner immediately sat back while opening his cravat which so it felt choking his neck. The four of them glanced at each other with triumphant smiles until Albert again took over the situation

"Please enter your name which will send power to the palace. We're not gonna force you"

It's bullshit! Not only have they been forced, but they have also threatened. If they choose not to take part and do not follow the desire to send help, obviously after this their family even region will get in trouble. The four men who held power in the biggest political and trade turnaround for the economic turnaround in Francia would not glance at them again and would probably raise the flag of hostility for them. And that thought made the gentlemen sit even more agitated in their seats, until a gentleman who was very familiar to the four men who were standing in front of the leader's table came forward by holding his name stick to the soundwood box.

Viscount Cornwell, the companion of the late Duke Arathorn advanced without hesitation, without needing to think, without wanting to wait for long while smiling amusedly throwing his name stick firmly into the still empty box. Albert and Arthur's lips twitched

"Thank you... Lord Aron."

Aron blinked one eye at Arthur and Albert, who responded with a wink. After Aron returned to his chair, the amused nagging nudity of someone with his steps towards the ballot box made all heads instantly turn to him. Duke Argent.

"I will send all the forces of Duchy Argentt to the palace. Tonight"

Albert grinned, a grin that clearly kept a lot of stories. Stories that are not known by many people even stories that are only known by the palace. And that grin made his two sisters-in-law who already knew him very well look back at Albert full of investigation.

After the two names entered the box, there was no need to wait for a long time many feet immediately stood up to the ballot box. Thomas, Charles, Albert instantly returned to their seats after previously pulling out the seats for the new Duke who began and increasingly showed the Arathorn's distinctive fangs. The cunning and intelligence that had indeed flowed strongly in his blood. Just wait for time for Arthur to claw and digitize all the trade and economic flow in Francia

"Well... What's it like to have the fiercest dog in Francia, Queen?"

Victoria blinked her shoulders indifferently and folded the letter neatly back.

"They're not my family's dogs, Your Majesty"

One eyebrow Fredrick swooped high and looked at his wife fixedly, his wife who was directly sitting on his lap without further ado

"It seems that I should be very careful to keep Queen Francia's feelings in check, if she's offended I could be in danger"

Fredrick grimaced in a dramatic manner, and it made Victoria chuckle as she wrapped her hands around Fredrick's neck

"Yes Your Majesty. You have to be very careful. Or your queen will kick your face in an ungraceful way"

Frederick chuckled amusedly as he stroked his wife's face. Their two eyes stared at each other fixedly, their hearts varying in feelings that only they knew. Fredrick closed his face and softened Victoria's lips. Victoria instantly closed her two eyes while replying in the sweetest way. The sweet reply that always makes Fredrick drift and able to eliminate all the burden of his mind until the center of his mind only contains about Victoria, his wife. For a long time they gave and received each other in their intoxicating ways. Until those who are cool to enjoy their world, suddenly jolted because of the sound of a door that opens firmly

"ouch!! Goddamnit!"

The sound of someone made Victoria instantly pull her face and frantically immediately stand up from Fredrick's lap, her face flushed in embarrassment to the ears. Fredrick stared intently at the door, at Edward, who was shaking his hand in front of the face that had turned to the side. Continuously fluttering his hands dramatically as if he was repelling an insect that was bothering his face

"Don't you understand why your doors and hands are made of jerks?" Edward just kept quiet and in an annoying way kept wagging his hands. Fredrick growled annoyed. "Stop shaking your fucking hands!"

"I have to get rid of the smell of romance around me first. It's very disturbing"

Edward's words made Victoria even more embarrassed until her head was bowed. Fredrick rolled his eyes lazily

"Your own fault"

Finally, Edward stopped shaking his hand and looked at Fredrick, then looked at Victoria who was down in shame. One thought flashed through his head and with a face that already looked annoying in Fredrick's eyes, Edward casually spoke to Victoria

"I'm sorry Your Majesty, you have nothing to be ashamed of, I'm used to it. I used to drag it straight..." Edward glanced at Fredrick who was directly glaring at him, Edward grinning sucks. "Two people who are......."

BRACKET!

Edward immediately moved dodging and immediately chuckled as his head was almost on the strong greeting of the letter storage wooden box. Fredrick quickly throws in Edward who is close to finishing his obvious remarks that will get him in serious trouble. Very serious because it could be that the connecting door of his room will be locked again tonight.

Victoria cleared her throat several times to ease her embarrassment, though she was quite curious about the continuation of Edward's remark but she chose to ignore the two men who were now throwing threatening gazes at each other, no... actually, only Fredrick looks threatening, while Edward continues to chuckle annoyingly.

"What's wrong?"

Fredrick's question made Edward immediately stop his weakness and look seriously at the faces of Fredrick and Victoria

"They started moving, Your Majesty"

Edward's words made Victoria look directly at Fredrick, Edward with a look of a more serious face to look at Fredrick

"Gather it all together tonight, including Duke Arthur"
