Behind The Castle's

**WE ARE FRANCIA**

"Your choice Your Majesty?"

Arthur pressed his hand against the sword.

Carl's hand was no longer holding his sword even his body had fallen to the ground with the entire body wounded full of blood. Prince Felix had already put the tip of his sword on Carl's neck. They stared at Victoria, waiting for Victoria's answer, the answer that would determine Carl's countenance, his own neck, the palace, and the kingdom.

The sun was rising upward, a widening beam of light filling and repelling the night's gripping darkness. The cool breeze back flew Victoria's beautiful hair. The warmth provided by the sun makes Victoria's skin feel more comfortable and her sweet smile re-rises. A very sweet smile, so contagious to Arthur. Arthur smiled as he looked around the sun.

Marco frowned when he saw the look on the faces of the two brothers who felt quite strange for him. How could they smile so calmly and peacefully? In the middle of their rice that was already at the tip of the nail? or are they ready to die? if that was their choice, Marco would not be disinclined anymore

"Your..."

"Prince"

Marco clenched his mouth back as Victoria spoke cutting off his voice. Carl's neck was pressed by the tip of Felix's sword, but there was no look of fear, nor doubt on his face, even Carl had a faint smile staring at Victoria. Staring at their Queen who had already moved both shiny eyeballs firmly in all directions.

"Look who we are Prince Marco"

Marco could only notice the strange immediately widened his gaze and his eyes widened until the focus of his hand was diverted. Arthur quickly drew his sword and put away the brash sword that was threatening his younger brother.

Prince Marco looked at Victoria with a look of disbelief. The other princes gasped to forget their prey. Their prey is a golden knight. Carl immediately used their surprise by moving to pull one sword that had not been drawn. Quickly his hand moved to fend off Prince Felix's sword which instantly bounced off. Felix is incubating and will move but, uh,

"Don't you dare touch my subject prince Felix!"

The sharpness of Victoria's voice made Felix who somehow immediately complied and stopped his movement. Marco looked back at Victoria and Arthur alternately and looked around his troops, his troops were already surrounded by Francia's forces. Since when? and..why does Francia still have so many troops?

Victoria's head turned towards the rising sun, her lips smiling sweetly at Edward who was moving appeared in the middle of the troops while riding on his beloved brown horse. Behind Edward, a person with a dark horse directly descended from his horse and bowed deeply to Victoria. A sweet smile continued to be imprinted on Victoria's lips and her head nodded briefly to receive the greeting of the black horseman. A commander of a place troop that is taken care of and cared for sincerely by her husband. Commander-in-Chief of the troops who brought a lot of help from the western region, the new territory joined with Francia

Subtle rarity without a sense of humor slid from Marco's mouth, his eyes staring at Victoria intently

"Do you think we will lose because of the army which is only half our army?"

"Of course not"

The voice of someone who suddenly appeared made all heads turn to the direction of the sound, a figure that made all of Marco's troops begin to tremble. With the honor and charisma of a leader, King Francia leaps from his horse bringing all the strongest knights in Francia, the best knights of Francia, the killing machine knights of Francia, the dogs of the King.

Victoria's heart pounded to see the charm of her King. Dashingly and charmingly, Fredrick drew closer to Marco who was instantly on guard by rewinding his steps.

Fredrick and Marco looked at each other sharply. Until Keelft, Lucas, Farel and Gregory went forward throwing bags that stored their 'remembrance. The contents of the bag immediately scattered and were thrown to the ground. The princes gasped, their soldiers trembled even more with their legs beginning to waver when they saw their twenty generals lying on the ground. The heads of the twenty attack leaders at the five attack points were still fresh and still wet, rolling scattered on the ground.

"Fuck you Francia!"

Fredrick ignored Marco's wrathful voice and preferred to stare at Victoria with one wink. A red veil immediately streaked on both cheeks of Victoria who was quite pale because it was washed out by rain and wind. Fredrick chuckled amusedly as the red veil could be caught.

"Let's get this over with King Fredrick!"

The sound of anger that disturbed the sweet moment of their King and Queen made Jeremmy chuckle and immediately come forward carrying the bundle of his black coat. Fredrick winked his chin at Prince Marco who was ready to raise his sword.

"Throwing"

Jeremmy happily threw the bundle in his hand and... King Jarvis immediately rolled right in front of Marco's feet. The still fresh-looking head made all the princes choked and immediately looked at Fredrick who had already drawn his sword, raised his hands up high and shouted firmly

"VANCIA HAS FALLEN!!"

All the besieging troops, all the other knights and Arthur immediately raised their swords in a loud cheer, cheering triumphantly. Fredrick smiled obliquely looking at Marco who was frozen in place

"Prince Marco, we are Francia"

Amidst the sound of cheers of increasingly strong victories yet to make Marco move, his body was still frozen in place, his younger siblings continued to remain silent even as the enraged Lucas swung his sword at Felix. Lucas was furious when he saw his soulmate, Carl, lying on the ground covered in wounds. But, Lucas' sword did not yet go to Felix's petrified body, from the back quickly Tomy pulled Lucas's head covering. With a flat face look Tomy dragged Lucas who continued to curse while thrashing.

"Let's Tomy! let go of me damn it! they've already dared to hurt Carl!"

Carl chuckled while enduring all the pain all over his body, the wounds on his stomach continued to flow profusely even as his hands had already pressed against the hole in his stomach.

Carl looked up at Edward who had not come down from his horse since when and approached him, with a sword that was already in his hand

"May kapt"

"If I say no, it's not Carl"

Carl just smiled bitterly with his breath beginning to weigh and... Victoria saw that, quickly Victoria ran at Carl. Carl gasped at Victoria who was already kneeling next to him

"What are you..." Carl frowned as he tried to get up. Victoria held both of Carl's shoulders while shaking her head with teary eyes. "Your Ma's...."

"Carl, hang on in a minute. Please please"

Carl's hand felt cold as Victoria helped press his stomach, Victoria's head kept turning to the help that had been called but had not yet appeared. Now their position was in the midst of a continuing battle. The battle broke out again as Marco fought back, and all the troops including Arthur and Fredrick again swung their swords, the golden knights swung their swords as they circled Carl and Victoria. Give the fortress protection for them

"Your Majesty..."

"Silence Carl! please shut up and hold on..."

Victoria's wailing voice made Carl smile. Smile for the umpteenth time after Victoria continues to protect her, protecting her who is only the subject of the King and Queen.

Victoria's wait was finally over when four guards carrying stretchers appeared to sneak in the middle of the battle. But, when Victoria looked back at Carl, Carl's eyes closed tightly. Victoria choked until her blood-stained hand trembled violently. It seemed to stop with his breath already squeezed

"Carl..."

"Your Majesty, we'll bring the knight Carl"

Victoria breathed for a moment as the guards were already surrounding Carl's body. Victoria's head nodded briefly and instantly distanced her hands as the guards directly lifted Carl's body onto the stretcher. They quickly slipped back down the road to the palace that had been opened and guarded by other golden knights, Carl's teammate, Carl's friends.

Victoria was still silent, Victoria's still silent body staring at the departure of the stretcher. Making his vigilance and eyes become unfocused and that was also what made one directly target him, a sword quickly swung towards his back and...

"VICTORIA!!!"

!!!!!

Victoria flinched and looked back. His heart was pounding and nervous as well. If only, if Edward had been late in just one second, the sword would have reached Victoria and sliced her venerable flesh

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING VICTORIA!!!"

Fredrick's voice returned to thunder that finally made Victoria's consciousness whole again, and with her sane consciousness back, Victoria let Edward drag her down strongly and violently. Victoria followed Edward's swift and wide steps, steps that continued to pull him towards the palace's doorstep.

Upon arriving at safety, Edward removed Victoria's rough arm and hissed sharply

"He is worth more than a thousand lives, YOUR MAJESTY!!!"

"Sorry Ed"

Edward turned back towards the battle. Victoria's eyesight began to blur, she felt like she was being angered and at the snapped Arthur, a brother snapped.

Diana ran tegopo-gopo on Victoria who still looked shocked and sad. Surprised by Edward and sad because he felt stupid. Diana took a deep breath

"Let's go to Your Majesty"

Dutifully, obediently like a little sister, Victoria followed Diana who was holding her to enter the palace door.
