Behind The Castle's
**BLACKTUBES**
"Did he accept it?"
Diana nodded as she taped in her hand neatly a black headscarf.
"Already Vic, without thinking he immediately took it for granted"
Victoria again stroked Grey's fur while staring at the still dark sky, the sunlight still did not show itself and the spring air was getting colder even more in the present moment
"What did you tell him?"
Diana walked up to Victoria and looked up at the sky
"According to your request, I said if you like her and the ring I gave her is a gift from you."
Diana glanced at Victoria who only showed her flat face
"What about the offer?"
"He accepted it and told me a little..." Diana searched and tidied the Victorian bangs blown by the dawn breeze. "He had a sick grandfather, his father was dead, his older brother was a labourer in the market and his mother a gardener in the house of a widowed nobleman on a weekly wage, she could be a servant in the palace because of the help of her mother's master"
"Did he know and be close to his mother's employer?"
Diana shook her head
"No Vic, she doesn't even know what her mother's master's degree is"
Victoria nodded and looked at Grey who was sitting with her as she stared at the window, Victoria cupped Grey in the face and stared at the two golden eyeballs.
"Grey, today I can't take you, I'll leave you to Dolores, remember don't be naughty to Dolores and for today you must obey all Dolores' orders, only Dolores"
Grey barked twice and immediately followed Victoria and Diana to the exit.
"Vic, looks like the waiter's easy to get paid and I'm afraid he can't be trusted"
Victoria smiled in anguish
"I don't need his loyalty and..." Victoria glanced at Diana's confused face. "For now it's someone like me who I'm looking for"
Diana tried to digest Victoria's words until her eyebrows furrowed deeply

"Dolores, where's Victoria?"
Dolores who saw the door of her room opened suddenly and also immediately got a question suddenly immediately stood up from her chair and bowed respectfully
"Good Morning Your Highness"
"Lady Victoria's gone to the chapel from the newly rising sun of Your Highness"
Fredrick furrowed his brows deeply
"Till him to the chapel and now also to the chapel of the new sun rising? Ck! does he go to the chapel every day?"
Dolores glanced at Fredrick while shaking her head
"No Your Highness, yesterday was Sunday Lady Victoria always came to the chapel for Sunday worship if today..." Dolores paused and glanced at Fredrick who was seen still looking at her with a curious face. "If today Lady Victoria just wanted to pray Your Highness"
Fredrick gave a rude snort and clucked in annoyance
"Pray or avoid someone Dolores?"
Dolores bit her lips nervously, she was confused, should she tell the truth or just be quiet
"Tell me Dolores, are you starting to dare ignore my question?"
Hearing Fredrcik's words, Dolores immediately bowed deeply with her head shaking strongly
"No Your Highness, I don't dare, from the newly rising sun, Lady Victoria came to my room to tell me not to prepare her breakfast and lunch because she was going to spend her time in the chapel today"
Dolores glanced at Fredrick who was already shaking his waist and looked at him sharply
"Dolores, are you trying to ignore my question again?"
Hearing Fredrick's cold voice, Dolores' old body leaned deeper, her hands beginning to tremble in fear and nervousness
"No Your highness"
"Tell me the truth Dolores!"
Dolores closed her eyes for a while and took a deep breath.
"Today is the birthday of the late Duchess Albany Your Highness"
After saying that Dolores closed her eyes again, Fredrick's inertia made her tighten her trembling hand in front of her stomach. Before long Fredrick's footsteps rang out, Dolores opened her eyes, with her body still bent inward she glanced forward looking at Fredrick's footsteps getting further away from her. After Fredrick's footsteps came out of the door of his room Dolores finally re-enforced her body and took a deep breath, Dolores glanced at her room chair and her memory returned to the scene this morning where Victoria and Diana were suddenly coming into her room.
FLASHBACKS
TOK TOK TOK
"Who?"
"Lady Victoria came Dolores"
After Diana mentioned her non-commission the door immediately opened. Dolores bowed respectfully to Victoria who was already standing beside Diana
"Good morning My Lady, please......"
Dolores led Victoria to sit on her chair and glanced at Diana who was already standing next to Victoria's chair
"You want to drink something My Lady?"
"No Dolores, I just want to talk for a minute"
Dolores nodded, her gaze staring at Victoria's dress which looked very different this morning, Victoria was wearing a black dress with black gloves without any jewelry attached to her body, then Dolores glanced at Diana who was also wearing a simple black dress with......... the black cloth in her hand?
"Dolores, for today, breakfast and lunch you don't need to prepare because all day I'll be in the chapel"
"Okay, My Lady, how about dinner?"
Victoria smiled
"Prepare, maybe I'll eat"
"I'm sorry for my care My Lady, but since this is about your health, may I know why you plan to pray all day and skip your meal My Lady?"
"Today's my mother's birthday"
Dolores pressed her lips and lowered her head again
"Good My Lady"
"And I have another max for my arrival Dolores"
Dolores glanced at Victoria who was still sitting quietly while staring at her desk
"Please My Lady"
"Will the maids in the western palace be changed every 5 months?"
Dolores looked at Diana who was silent and looked back at Victoria
"Still My Lady"
Victoria nodded briefly
"May I ask Dolores for help?"
Dolores nodded briefly
"I will try to do your request as I can My Lady"
"Hmmm.. I once met a young maid in the western palace, the girl was the same age as me, her hair was dark in color with both of her eyes were also dark in color, her name was Kelly" Victoria paused and said something to Diana that made Diana nod and walk out the door. "So I'd like to ask you a favor, at the change of servants, can you bring the girl to be a servant here?"
Dolores glanced at Diana who had already opened the door of her room and looked at Victoria with furrowed brows
"I'll check her performance history first My Lady"
Victoria shakes briefly
"No need for Dolores, I like her enough and since she's my age, it's nice to have another friend, so can you help me out with Dolores?"
Dolores gulped her saliva violently, her feelings were mixed especially seeing Victoria's face but, she also did not want to be rash, either, the events of a few months ago made him become very careful to choose a servant in the southern palace otherwise he would come back face to face with Fredrick's anger.
"I'll still have to check on her performance My Lady"
Dolores looked at Victoria's face and saw the look on Victoria's face that immediately became sad, making her take a deep breath, then with a heavy heart chimed in her words
"But I'll work on it My Lady"
Victoria immediately smiled widely and Dolores could only reply with a resigned smile.
"When will the waiter change?"
"About 3 months My lady"
Victoria nodded her head sweetly while smiling, seeing that made Dolores' heavy heart lighten up a bit
"I also have one more Dolores request"
Dolores glanced at the door of her room that had opened again, where Diana entered with Grey walking gracefully close to her
"I want to ask you to take care of Grey today Dolores, because I can't take her to the chapel" Victoria immediately stood up and walked gracefully closer to Grey and Dolores. "The color I'm going with Diana I can only trust Grey to you"
Dolores smiled and stroked Grey's head, rubbing his head against Dolores's dress skirt.
"Well My Lady but, do I have to take Grey for a walk like you often do?"
Victoria bent her knees to cupped Grey in the face and stared at her two golden eyeballs.
"Remember what I said, Grey, don't be naughty with Dolores and obey Dolores' words"
Grey barked and ran around Dolores who made all the eyes there instantly smile with anxiety, Victoria looked back at Dolores
"If you're busy, it's okay not to take Grey for a walk and give him any orders, today he'll be completely obedient to you Dolores"
Dolores nodded and bowed
"Good My Lady"
FLASHBAK OFF
TOK TOK TOK
"Mrs Dolores"
The knock and sound behind the door returned Dolores' daydream
"Come in"
The door opened there was a male and Grey servant who immediately walked in gracefully.
"Thank you Mois, you can go"
The waiter nodded and closed the door again, Dolores looked at Grey who was already sitting with her tongue sticking out at him, Dolorea smiling anxiously
"You've done your business, Grey? is your stomach relieved?"
Grey barked twice
"Well, since I have a little outdoor work, you wait here, sleep in whatever chair you like, I'll just be a minute"
Grey barked twice again, Dolores stroking the fur on Grey's stomach in a frenzy
"Smart kid"
"You're obedient as hell and also very sweet as your master"
