Behind The Castle's

**'ES'**

Diana raised her gaze to the dark sky, then glanced at Victoria who was chewing on the last kookies on the plate

Victoria finished the last kookies chew on her mouth and raised her cup which turned out to be empty, with a swift Diana would pour more tea but, Victoria's hand immediately raised which made her Diana stop the movement of her hand

In their inertia especially someone in front of her finally the voice of Victoria stopped the silence

"The sky is getting dark Your Highness, I'm sorry to be back"

Fredrick was just silent with his index finger scratching the cup in a long direction that kept staring blankly at the contents of the cup. Feeling bored and lazy, with no answer from Fredrick, Victoria immediately stood up and followed Grey, who opened her eyes as her master moved.

Victoria's movements finally made it to the two gray eyeballs Fredrick moved to stare at Victoria.

"I haven't given you permission to stand or leave yet"

Fredrick's voice sounded flat and without lips curling upwards, making Diana bite her inside cheek.

As it has begun to happen often Victoria ignored Fredrick's words and still took her graceful position to give a farewell.

"Good afternoon Your Highness"

After saying her greeting Victoria turned quickly around her body to head for the door to the outside of the southern palace garden but, A burly hand pulled her firmly which made Victoria flinch and annoyed.

"Your Highness"

Fredrick gripped Victoria's arm firmly and stared intently at the green eyes of Victoria's leaves with his jaw hardened, Fredrick pulling and dragging the Victoria's arm which left Victoria strangled in annoyance

"Your Highness!!!"

Grey has been braking and barking, Diana looks ready to jump with Grey to save her nonanya because, Diana can see if Fredrick's face is full of strokes of martyrdom.

"Your Highness!!! Release me!!"

Fredrick did not care about Victoria's hand that continued to wriggle and even more strongly dragged Victoria into the park. Victoria who saw the situation getting hotter especially Grey who was ready to attack Fredrick immediately shouted

"Stop Gray! Stay there with Diana!!"

"My Lady!"

Before Fredrick dragged Victoria and lost inside behind the flowers and trees, Victoria shook her head strongly towards Diana who was already on the verge of tears.

Frederick pushed Victoria's body firmly against the trunk of a large oak tree inside the garden, next to his large palm holding Victoria's back head from being hit by the tree

"You!!"

Strong clashing of his body into the tree made Victoria scream sick and shocked, Fredrick pulled his hand on Victoria's head and banged hard on the tree next to Victoria's head.

Victoria closed her eyes as the sound of the punch next to her grew stronger, having felt Fredrick not moving anymore and Fredrick's warm breaths began to order, Victoria tried to open her eyes slowly, the two eyeballs as green as its leaves immediately collided with Fredrick's two gray eyeballs that were glittering sharp but also hot.

Victoria moved her eyeballs and finally realized their position, Fredrick supported Victoria's body in the tree with a hardened face and a sharp eye thrust into Victoria's eye, all the way to Victoria's back.

"What are you doing Your Highness!!"

Victoria tried to get out of Fredrick's favor but, Fredrick clutched Victoria's waist tight with a shout

"Stop ignoring me Victoria!! until when are you going to ignore me like this!!"

"I'm not ignoring you!!"

Victoria was screaming in annoyance

"You ignored me Victoria!! after that fucking party you ignored me very badly and acted even colder!!!"

Victoria clenched her hands in anger as Fredrick also gripped her waist

"I'm like this Your Highness!! what do you expect from me!!"

"You weren't like this before that goddamn party!! don't be cold to me like a stranger!! don't ignore me like I don't exist!!"

Victoria's getting windy and ready to cuss

"Your Highness......"

Not yet had time to take out the curse, Victoria's mouth was immediately closed when Fredrick put his head on Victoria's shoulder, the grip of his hand on Victoria's waist was released to move to the side of Victoria's head.

Fredrick felt very tired and also desperate, he did not have the frenzy of dragging and snapping at Victoria, but the ice-cold and rock-hard attitude of Victoria after the party continued to make Fredrick uncomfortable, but the attitude was as cold as it was, there was something in his feelings that continued to hold up, it had been a long time Jeremmy asked him to apologize but Fredrick felt innocent, he did nothing that made him have to apologize but, he did not do anything that made him apologize, victoria's severe changes that became more and more during these 2 months made her very unsettled, her feelings uncomfortable and if time could be turned she would really not leave Victoria at that time.

"I'm sorry"

"Your Highness...."

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have left you at the party, I'm sorry for hurting your pride"

Fredrick lifted his head to look at the sweet face of Victoria who no longer looked a streak of anger, the two eyeballs as green as leaves just stared at her flatly, flatly, but this was better than him having to accept an icy cold gaze that kept his feelings disturbed

"I'm like this Your Highness, a lot of people say if I'm a cold girl, you don't...."

Victoria's speech came to a halt as Fredrick's hands cupped his face gently, his fingers stroking Victoria's cheeks subtly

"You're like that to people you hate, and to people you don't know especially, to people you don't want to know because of that, don't look at me like that and please don't ignore me like I don't exist"

Quite long in their position, Victoria's silence and silence made Fredrick nervous, many questions that immediately returned to his head, the longer the silence made Fredrick more nervous especially the flat eyes of Victoria who could not also be read or guessed until

"I'll try Your Highness"

Hearing Victoria's words, the arch on Fredrick's lips could no longer stand, his chest rippled, a feeling of relief made his head light, without thinking Fredrick immediately brought Victoria's small body into his embrace.

Victoria was surprised when Fredrick hugged her even more Fredrick clenched her hug, frantically Victoria's eyeballs twitched around.

"Your Highness.there will be eyes that see"

Ahhh.. Fredrick forgot that, the happiness and relief in his chest made him act without thinking. Fredrick was forced to decipher his embrace and looked into Victoria's unfocused eyes with a restless face

"I'm sorry your Highness but it's dark and...."

Victoria grimaced and glanced at the amused smiling Fredrick.

"Yes, I know it's outside"

Victoria just smiled awkwardly

"Let's take you"

Victoria nodded and walked out of the park

-00-00-00-00-

Jeremmy and Edward continued to glance at Fredrick's strange face, which was still smiling until almost midnight. This started when he finished drinking tea with Victoria even he skipped a meal on the grounds of being full?

Edward, who could no longer resist his disgust, saw Fredrick's lips curling upward, finally making a sound

"Stop smiling like an idiot Fred! what are you doing?"

"After 2 months of looking frustrated now you're like this Your Highness, is there anything unhealthy?"

Jeremmy chimed in on Edward's remarks that led Fredrick to pelt them with beans

"Just shut! don't disturb my pleasure"

Jeremmy and Edward looked at each other in confusion, until Jeremmy finally remembered something and looked at Fredrick seriously.

"Your Highness, I want to say something"

Fredrick who saw Jeremmy's serious facial features clucked in annoyance and lazily stood away towards the outside of the lounge of the training camp which Jeremmy immediately followed.

"What's wrong? beware that you're interfering with my happiness"

Jeremmy just took a deep breath and reached into his pocket

"It was up to this afternoon, someone took him and gave me this letter to give you immediately"

Fredrick furrowed his brows deeply

"From who?"

"Lady Calista"

Fredrick, who was about to reach for Jeremmy's letter, pulled back his hand when he found out who sent the letter.

"For you"

Fredrick nonchalantly let Jeremmy's hand still hang in the air and with shaky steps re-entered the camp's lounge, leaving Jeremmy who could only scratch his non-itchy head.

Because he did not want to bother Jeremmy immediately called someone and asked him to shoot the letter to Baron Gafton's residence, with a message if 'he' asked why the letter was returned, say it's a direct order from His Highness Prince Fredrick.

Jeremmy grinned.
