Behind The Castle's

**ENGAGEMENT II**

"How are you Fred?"

Fredrick answered Calista

"Good"

Calista continued to smile at Fredrick, until Henry chuckled again

"It's been a long time since we didn't get together, it seems like ki-we have to make other promises often"

Calista smiled and finally her brown eyeballs spun around on Henry

"You're right Hen, how's the weekend going?"

"We'll arrange it later, we'll make time while sending the letter" Henry paused and looked at Victoria. "Lady Victoria ju-should also come along"

Like a real spectator who suddenly had her name called, Victoria was quite surprised but ended up turning her face flat again

"Thank you for the invitation, I'll try to see when I'm Your Highness" Victoria glanced at Fredrick. "Isn't that Your Highness Prince Fredrick?"

Fredrick lowered his gaze as Victoria called out his name, looking deeply at the two pitch-green eyeballs Victoria Fredrick let out her voice

"I can't, there are some things I have to do"

Hearing Fredrick's reply, Victoria sneered

"It's 'at camp'...??"

Fredrick wailed his smile as he caught Victoria's innuendo

"That's Vic's priority"

With Victoria's lazy face twisting her eyeballs which made Fredrick chuckle and pinch his cheeks but, quickly Victoria's hand held Fredrick's hand on his cheek, Fredrick furrowed his brows deeply, his warm eyes turning. Victoria who noticed a slight change in Fredrick tried to improve the atmosphere. Raising her head high, Victoria approached Fredrick's ear and whispered

"I'm wearing your Highness makeup"

Fredrick who was almost offended immediately laughed and even more pinched Victoria's cheek, his eyes looking at Victoria with anxiety.

Henry and Calista who continued to pay attention to the two couples in front of them tried to be indifferent, but it seemed Calista was quite difficult to hide the look on his face. Still with her cheeks pinched by Fredrick, Victoria took her eyes to glance at Calista's face which had hardened her jaw, Victoria's slanted smile rising.

"Lady Calista, you seem familiar, have we met before?"

Fredrick who had returned to silence immediately turned to Victoria, Henry who had been staring around turned to Victoria, and Calista whose name was called to look at Victoria with a friendly smile

"really? it's a great pleasure to have met Lady Arathorn"

With her head bowed respectfully and a formal tone of voice Calista answered Victoria's question, although Victoria understood Calista's innuendo but gracefully and with a sweet smile Victoria replied.

"Have you ever been to Albany Lady Calista?"

"Not Lady Victoria"

Hendry just casually observed the conversation of the two beautiful women in front of him while Fredrick started to be wary.

"Aahh. I see, it's not in Duchy..... What does that mean at Lady Calista's palace? do you come to the palace often?"

Calista's smile began to fade, Fredrick looked at Victoria with an indecipherable look and Hendry immediately withdrew his audience seat.

Victoria waited long enough for Calista's answer, until finally Calista's soft and slightly hoarse voice came back

"Never Lady Victoria, I have no interest in the palace"

Victoria's unashamed humor makes Fredrick gulp his saliva and Henry raises one eyebrow.

"Oh. I'm sorry Lady Calista, I was wrong, maybe we've never met but you just look like someone..." Victoria glanced at Fredrick and Henry alternately. "Like a red-haired maid who doused me with hot tea"

Hearing Victoria's slightly raised voice at the end of her speech making Calista's hands clenched tightly, her eyes sharpened, Calista glanced at Fredrick who was already flat-faced staring at Victoria. Seeing the atmosphere getting hotter, Henry tried to give.... space??

"Lady Calista and La-lady Victoria, let me take Fredrick to the other gentleman yes, we've been too la-long to leave them"

With a meaningful smile, Henry tried to take Fredrick away, but Fredrick did not seem to want to move until Victoria's voice was heard.

Fearing and forced to follow Henry to King George's chat circle, the upper house of parliament

After the two handsome men of one father left, Calista immediately took off her mask, with a reproachful look, Calista noticed Victoria's appearance and face.

"Let's just say Lady Calista, you won't get an answer by just staring at my appearance"

Calista chuckled without a sense of humor and immediately stared at Victoria's flat face

"How does it feel to be engaged to the hottest man in Francia?"

Victoria blinked her shoulders indifferently and grabbed a glass of champagne on the table

"I don't understand your max Lady Calista"

"Don't pretend you don't understand Lady Victoria, even if you were forced to bond at first, but you must have a lucky, lucky feeling because your partner is Fredrick Castalarox"

Victoria's head stiffened as she tried to hold back the laughter but also the frustration, calmly and flat-faced again, Victoria replied

"In addition to his appearance and crown prince, what else can make me lucky Lady Calista?"

Calista chuckled and looked at Victoria haughtily

"You know what it's like in Fredrick's bed, between us there's no need to pretend anymore Lady Victoria"

Victoria's brows furrowed deeply and Victoria's gaze on Calista turned into a reproachful gaze

"You're a pathetic mistress"

After Victoria's words slid from her small mouth, Calista's face flushed red, her jaw hardened, her hand grip on the glass strengthened, with the sharp eyes of Calista's lips fizzing

"How long do you think Fredrick will be interested in your body? now you can scream complacently in Fredrick's bed, but he'll soon be throwing you away jal**g haughty!"

The peace and harmony within the hall that had been going on for hours suddenly became tense as there was the voice of a woman who was squealing all of a sudden, all the heads that had been busy with their affairs instantly so moved to turn to the direction of the voice, all eyes looked surprised, Henry and Fredrick even Albert immediately stepped wide at the direction of the voice, and even then, they were all shocked, towards Calista and Victoria.

"What are you doing Lady Victoria??!!!"

Victoria gracefully placed the glass in her already empty hand and replied indifferently

"Clean your dirty mouth"

Seeing the movement of Calista who will reach for a champagne glass, Albert quickly who first arrived at them immediately pulled Calista's hand until the clink of the broken glass on the floor further added to the excitement of the guests watching

"What is this...!!"

Fredrick's sharp and echoing voice made all the heads even more curious

"He doused me Fred! you saw for yourself what your fiancee did! I was just trying to talk!!"

Hearing Calista's screams and sobs, fans opened with heads closing in on each other, Henry who saw no good for Victoria immediately came forward but, a hand restrained him, and he did so, Henry turned his head and was about to protest but after seeing who was holding him back, Henry went back to his place.

Victoria tilted her head slightly to stare at Calista's new look made from her own handwork, Calista's face wet to the front side of her hair darker due to Champagne water, which she made, water droplets still dripped slightly on the front side of the end of his hair that was scattered, his face reddish to the neck and to his ears, he said, calista's new appearance really made Victoria could not hold her laughter until finally the hardness of her voice escaped from her small mouth.

Albert's position as one of the leading crowds closed his eyes with lips twitching firmly with a smile as Victoria's frown escaped.

Fredrick stared intently at Victoria and Calista alternately

"You'd better go home Lady Calista! and Victoria's with me!"

Victoria immediately shook her head dramatically but was also adorable in the eyes of her family to Ivon's aunty, Elis' aunty, tatiana's auty, and her Aunty Jasmine gave a smile with a look at each other then they looked at Diana who looked anxious.

Fredrick who saw if Victoria's head refused him immediately stepped up to grab Victoria's hand but, not yet had his arm in reach, Victoria immediately retreated while opening her small mouth
