Behind The Castle's

**CALISTA**

Calista comes with a waiter who carries a tray in his hand and they start rearranging the table, Calista replaces the old Victorian cup with a new one, then giving a cup and an old snack to the nampang in the hands of the waiter who came with him, two teapots were still on the table that made Victoria open her voice

"This eco?"

Victoria's index finger pointed towards the old teapot, Calista smiled kindly and answered firmly Victoria's question

"His Highness Prince Fredrick really likes my Lady's jasmine tea"

Victoria glanced at the waiter who was carrying the tray containing her old cup and the old snack plate, her head bowed even to her fellow waiter, the Calista waitress. Victoria's slanted smile rises

"Aahh so it turns out"

After finishing with the order of the table Calista would immediately lift the teapot but, the sound of Grey's barking made Calista flinch and knock him over the teapot he had in hand, right in front of Victoria.

The hot taste of the tea made Victoria squeal, Grey who heard Victoria's screech immediately ran with Diana towards the bench by continuing to bark Grey as if he was ready to attack but had not reached the gray table stopped his steps still while barking, because Victoria immediately shouted.

"STOP GRAY!!!"

Calista who was still shocked and also afraid immediately ran from there, Diana and the waitress who came with Calista immediately put down the origin of the tray and swiftly tried to clean the wet front dress of Victoria even still felt warm.

"My Lady, are you okay?"

Victoria was silent and only looked at Diana and the waiter who was cleaning her dress. Victoria glanced around, the servants were peeking, feeling the commotion was enough Victoria raised her hand and flicked her finger which made the echoing sound of Grey barking instantly stop.

"What's this?"

That heavy and manly voice made all heads turn. Fredrick who was still wearing riding clothes immediately approached the commotion. Victoria grinned

"That's enough, let it go"

Diana and the maid who heard Victoria's orders immediately retreated while bowing deeply. Fredrick who had digested the situation immediately checked Victoria's situation.

"Are you okay?"

Victoria looked at Fredrick with a grimacing face

"Hot"

Looking at Victoria who was not okay, her head immediately turned and stared intently at Diana and the maid earlier.

"What are you guys doing huh!!!"

Victoria touched Fredrick's hand gently because it looked like she was going berserk. Fredrick who got a soft touch immediately turned back to Victoria with an anxious face

"Is it very hot?"

Victoria took a strong bite on her inner cheek to keep her laugh from breaking but what was seen in Fredrick's eyes, Victoria was like enduring the pain.

"Why is this so?"

Victoria tried to calm down and turn her face flat again

"Not them"

"Who?"

Victoria looked at Fredrick's face which still looked anxious but she knew, every now and then both of Fredrick's gray eyeballs kept glancing at the low cut of his chest.

"Let me punish him His Highness"

Fredrick furrowed in his brows and looked at the face of Victoria who was already staring at the servant beside Diana.

"Call Calista back here"

Victoria's cold voice made the waiter immediately slide to the entrance, Victoria glanced at Fredrick's face which seemed to hold a lot of questions and thoughts, Victoria glanced at Diana who was still constantly bowing.

"Sit down first"

Fredrick pulled the chair for Victoria and when Victoria's ass had landed Fredrick sat on the chair.

Long enough they sat in silence until Calista appeared and immediately bowed deeply

"I'm sorry Your Highness, sorry I was surprised"

Fredrick immediately looked at Calista who was already bowing deeply

"What's going on?"

Victoria raised one eyebrow while pressing her lips inward, Diana who saw Victoria's face as if she was holding herself back immediately felt goosebumps and clenched her hands to hold back the nervousness for some reason.

"I was surprised because the dog suddenly barked at You Highness, I was afraid of the dog because I remembered the incident in the park at that time"

Fredrick took a deep breath

"Here you go, fix your performance and your pay for the next 6 months I'll cut"

Victoria almost burst open her arms until she caught her arm firmly, Victoria took a breath so she could calm down as soon as possible and after she was calm enough she opened her mouth

"Your Highness"

Fredrick and Calista immediately turned to Victoria as her flat voice rang out

"Don't I just say I'm going to punish him?"

Calista stiffened his jaw with Fredrick trying to calm down

"Let's calm Vic, I've been cutting his wages for quite a long time"

"I'm sorry for my disrespect Your Highness but the one she's flush with hot tea is me and........"

Victoria's speech was stopped because Calista immediately cut his unfinished business

"My Lady, I didn't accidentally water you, but I didn't accidentally, it was also because I was afraid of your dog barking"

Fredrick looked at Calista's already flushed face holding back angrily and glanced at Victoria who?

"Vice..."

Fredrick tried to mediate, but his speech came to a halt when Victoria immediately cut him off

"What's your max this is all my own fault, Calista? Is the heat on my skin because of myself?"

"The....."

Calista tried to answer but Victoria made a sound again

"After dousing me with hot tea, you even ran away and now you blame me Calista?"

Victoria's cold but sharp voice caused Fredrick to clench his hands to refrain from taking Calista away from here as soon as possible, as he was finally able to see the new look on Victoria's face but, uh, he could finally see a new look, the look on the face is a bad sign.

"I've already said if I accidentally My Lady"

Victoria captures Calista's sharpening voice and immediately looks at Fredrick

"Is the palace maid indeed in this Your Highness?"

Fredrick gulped roughly at his saliva and looked at the look on Victoria's face that was like she was ready to bite, even the color of her face was flushed to the ears.

Not yet Fredrick opened his mouth, Calista immediately knelt down with a little stuffing that began to sound.

"I really didn't accidentally Your Highness, I'm sorry, please forgive me"

Fredrick would almost reflexively lift Calista's kneeling body but Victoria's naughtiness immediately resuscitated her and Victoria's voice came back making him silenced

"Aahh, he didn't even apologize to me"

Calista raised his gaze to look at Victoria with sharp shiny eyes

"I'm sorry Lady Victoria"

No, it was not the tone of apology that came out of Calista's mouth but the sharp voice holding back the anger that reached the hearing senses of the surrounding people.

Victoria returned Calista's gaze with a look no less sharp

"Then kneel down until the sun changes to the moon"

"No need to be so Vic"

Fredrick unconsciously let out his suaran which after that made him regret

"Did Your Highness try to defend her?"

"thud......"

"Is it not right if I punish him?"

"not begi....."

"So what's Your Highness? please explain to me this fool"

Fredrick again clenched his hands when all his words that had not come out had been struck back by Victoria's words. Fredrick glanced at Calista who had been staring at him sharply, only a moment did he sit down the hot feeling of the spring sun had made him sultry what else imagined he would sunbathe for hours.

"Listen to me Vic, it's not so bad, he just accidentally, I've also given a punishment, too cruel if we punish by drying him in the hot sun like now"

Victoria folded her hands gracefully onto the table, her eyes cold with a face that was no less cold, a few seconds the face and eyes looked at Fredrick until his voice sounded again

"Your Highness Prince Fredrick, I would like to ask you, this is a common question that a noble will ask when he sees your response"

"Is my skin and body worthless to you? Does the pain and embarrassment I get make me not worthy enough to punish him? and can his sassiness during our conversation just get him off the hook with his wages cut off? Please answer me Your Highness"

Fredrick biting his inner cheek holding himself back from acting rashly, his heart yelling at Calista so that he too was not rash and quite silent.

"But the waiter is also a Victorian man"

After Fredrick said it was Diana who had been standing up nervously getting nervous and goosebumps when Victoria suddenly stood up.

"So because of my fellow humans, I want Calista to feel what I feel too"
