Behind The Castle's

**ONE STONE FOR 3 BIRDS**

"Avic!!!"

"What's up?"

"You hear me not? things outside are very messed up"

Victoria ignored the words of Diana who had been complaining for days on the outside after the incident 'hot tea' and the slap of King George especially, King George's unofficial statement about the bond of the heir to the throne

"Vix........"

Victoria glanced at Diana's face that seemed like it was going to cry, finally Victoria gave the final throw of her hat to catch Grey

"Don't cry Diana"

Victoria ends her game of catch-throwing with Grey and rolls her eyeballs as Diana begins to memorize her flowing tears.

"Come on"

Victoria patted the bed next to her which made Diana and Grey immediately climb onto the bed

"Why should you cry, tell me what you're worried about?"

Diana wiped back her tears and looked at Victoria's annoying face.

"They're talking bad things about you, Vic, they insult you! and the more days their speech gets more terrible"

Victoria laughed but immediately closed her mouth when Diana's eyes seemed to flood again

"Well.. okay... who insulted me? and what did they say?"

Diana closed her eyes for a while, then took a few deep breaths as if trying to calm her inner turmoil in order to open her voice

"Western palace servants and some servants elsewhere call you a pathetic lady and a beggar lady of love"

Victoria nodded her head

"Tell me"

"They say if you try to beg for His Highness' love, even in hot weather and His Highness is busy checking out the castle's defenses you force to have tea together in his palace, you purposely wear a fancy dress even with a low chest cut, you're kind of hoping His Highness is tempted by you, but unfortunately His Highness isn't interested in a cruel woman who looks down on a servant lower than a dog"

Victoria nodded her head without any burden and then glanced at Diana

"But Calista is inferior to Grey"

Diana immediately glared with warning at Diana who made her pair of blue eyeballs seem like they were about to jump

"Lady......"

Victoria clucked, hearing Diana's face and warning voice

"Yes-iya-iya-iya I'm a lady can't be rude"

"And clucked and turned the eyeballs and laughed wide with his mouth open"

Diana added that made Victoria growl

"And growled irritated"

Victoria took a deep breath and straightened her back with her hands tied in front of her stomach, taking out her noble skin for Diana to stop glaring at him

"Was she Lady Diana? continue"

"It's been 2 weeks Vic, and you still don't care about the invitation even you don't want to meet His Highness who almost every day here, it's also been 2 weeks you didn't leave the room, you didn't go out, if you're like this, you're just making their mouths talk less about you, so please Vic, we need to fix your name" Diana paused and her voice sounded trembling as she began to sob. "You're not like that Vic, there's nothing true about the insults and taunts they gave you"

After saying her words Diana's tears broke, Victoria who saw Diana growing weepier for him smiled and immediately brought Diana into his arms

Victoria patted Diana's arms slowly in her arms until Diana's feeling calmed down, Victoria elaborated on their embrace and looked at Diana

"Well I'll explain everything to you Di"

While taking notes on her wet cheeks Diana nodded

"I think you already know that 'hot tea' was my plan"

Diana nodded

"Yes, I just understood all your strange requests and behavior that day, when I saw you snap your finger under the table that made Grey bark immediately"

Victoria nodded

"And remember this Di, whatever I did starting from me being dragged into this palace I've thought carefully about"

Diana nodded

"All right, I'll explain"

"I threw a stone to wound 3 birds at once, obscene Prince, palace and especially King George, I also deliberately made the fire in the mouths of people more burning and also to get my message delivered"

Victoria glanced at Diana who was already furrowing in her brows

"You confused?"

Diana nodded

"The fathom is that I deliberately spurred the ton circles, the criticism of the nobles who will surely sooner or later hear this 'hot tea' story, this, inside this palace I believe there are some people who are deliberately placed nobles on the side of the obscene Prince or on the side of His Highness Prince Henry, and when they hear it, when they hear it, if it was inside the vortex of the tons, their sharp blades would be pointed at the royal face.

I am an honorable Lady who has the blood of both a large and wealthy noble family, coming to meet my future fiance and trying to appear perfect for him, it would not be wrong in the eyes of a ton. When I did what I had to do as a potential fiancee and tried to maintain a relationship with my future fiancee, I was instead humiliated and hurt by a servant and even my 'fiancee' he said' very attentive when I was ill defending desperately a lowly servant even willingly hit my hand to stop the punishment I was about to give to that guilty servant, it was a mindset and indeed a rule of upper class and nobility but, of course, the response among the ton would be different from the lower class, the lower class who always pay respect when looking at me, he said, will defend their fellow men who have been treated cruelly by me only because of 'accidental'....." Victoria paused and glanced at Diana's strange-looking face. "That color, just a few hours after the 'hot tea' incident, King George did not do half-measures again, he immediately shouted a heavy warning that could be heard by many ears immediately"

While playing Grey's tail, Victoria glanced at Diana who seemed to be adjusting her breath even her chest up and down, Victoria guessed Diana must be shocked to digest everything. As Diana's breath began to settle Victoria continued

"Not only because of that reason alone made King George immediately act, but also think about the thoughts of the nobility about 'why' his son the heir to the throne and the pure-blooded kingdom defended desperately a lowly servant especially the servant was a young girl, I'm waiting for the story to come out of the noble version but most importantly I hope my message is delivered to Uncle Charles"

Diana began to massage her temples while looking at Victoria

"Message?"

"You remember when we came home from there we were circling through the furthest path"

Diana nodded

"What's the reason?"

Victoria chuckled at Diana's face which now looked even more shocked

"Of course, we pass through the warehouse and the supplier meeting room, there will definitely be merchants, suppliers and businessmen from every region, from my entire family just the Marquess of Lorne, uncle Charles, from my entire family, the husband of my mother's sister, Aunty Elis, who was willing to become a permanent supplier for this job. I wish there was a businessman or supplier from Lorne who saw the 'unbiased' look and could get to Charles's ears soon because, if he had heard the sign he would have investigated it from within parliament and my message was delivered"

"Unbelievable!"

That was the only word that was said from Diana before she came out of Victoria's room because Victoria had closed her eyes with Grey who had first slept between the two Victorian men who stretched very wide.
