Behind The Castle's

**IN THE AFTERNOON CHAT**

"She has not got anything, all about the Larina castle is very secret and closed, even the story that Kelly got if the waiter there is only a little and contains people from His Majesty"

Victoria breathed a sigh of resignation and recalled the message from her Jasmine aunty to Diana that forbade her from sending messages, even asking Victoria to sit sweetly in the palace but Victoria could not, she said, his anger is still passionate even though now he is enough to control his anger, the more his curiosity is increasingly difficult he can withstand

"Finished. I made your hair roll like Vic used to"

Diana's voice finally turned Victoria's mind to her world and immediately stared at the result of Diana's hand as Diana picked up a mirror to reflect the look behind her hair

"It's good. as always"

Diana smiled with relief and immediately took the hat for Victoria, as they had an appointment this afternoon

"Let's Vic"

Deftly fitting a ribbon of a hat into Victoria's chin, Diana chose a slightly wide and thick hat to adjust the sunny weather conditions of summer, Diana had to protect Victoria's face from the sun

"Are we going to take Grey Vic?"

Victoria grinned

-00-00-00-00-

"Good day Your Highness"

"Good day Lady Calista"

Henry who finally could see Victoria again smiled warmly

"Se la-journal day Lady Victoria"

Victoria returned Henry's warm smile and looked at Calista who had not yet returned her greeting because, Calista stiffened to see Grey's presence, until finally Henry cleared his throat that made Calista refocus

"Good afternoon Lady Victoria"

With no weight Victoria immediately landed her butt when the chair was pulled Diana, with the best choice, took place next to Calista, of course Grey who was not ordered to play immediately approached Victoria's seat

"Wahh! w-what is this dog?"

Henry's astonished cry made Victoria smile

"True Your Highness"

Henry's eyes sparkled in amazement at Grey's extremely graceful shape and beautiful dense fur

"Can I hold it?"

Victoria smiled meaningfully

"You should get to know Your Highness first"

Henry immediately stood up from his chair while looking at Victoria who was talking to Grey

"Grey, please get acquainted and don't be naughty...." Victoria looked at Henry. "Your Highness please give your hand"

Henry immediately brought his hand closer, but Grey looked reluctant which made Victoria pat Grey's stomach slowly

"Let's get acquainted Grey, don't be lazy"

Eventually Grey begins to sniff Henry's hand, although a little nervous about Grey's form, a sense of awe and curiosity prompts him to go forward and try with doubt.

Grey put his head close to Henry's palm, quietly and still a little scared, Henry stroked Grey's head

"Ha-hello. Your name is Grey... I-I'm Henry"

Grey just kept quiet and enjoyed holding Henry's hand on his head

"I-I've never seen a dog like this, where did it come from?"

With a smile still imprinted on her lips Victoria replied as she glanced at Calista who was not flinching in place even to take a breath, Calista looked extremely cautious. Victoria's almost blown up

"He's from the Russian Your Highness continent"

Henry nodded and returned to his seat then looked at the tense looking Calista

"Cal, as of now you. Get acquainted, this dog is very beautiful"

Calista quickly shook his head and looked at Victoria

"I'm a little allergic to dogs, can tell him to sit over there, not between us Lady Victoria"

Hearing Calista's unfriendly and strange remarks, Henry furrowed his brows but did not want to comment

"Oh so Lady Calista"

Victoria looked at Grey

"Here is Grey"

Grey quickly lifted his buttocks from the cement of the main palace garden and took a position

Seeing the cold atmosphere, Henry tried to find a topic of conversation and tried to ask Victoria

"Did Fred not come yet? where's d-him?"

Victoria answered

"I don't know Your Highness either"

"He checked the state of the capital as usual when summer came, but Jeremmy said he had gotten a message from you Hen"

Calista's unasked voice made Henry even more uneasy and glanced at Victoria in sight?

"Ahh. be-so"

Some waiters came by pushing tea trolley and carrying terraced dishes containing snacks. Victoria simply glanced at the servant's hand while listening to the familiar conversation between Calista and Henry

For a long time Victoria remained silent as a spectator and listener at the table until the gentle rubbing on her shoulder and the familiar voice in front of her disappeared. Victoria immediately turned her head even though the scent of begamont, mint, cinnamon and pear was already out in her sense of smell, the male and fresh scent she was familiar with.

"Just relax, don't get too stiff Hen, sit down"

Henry immediately nodded and again landed his butt on the chair, the seat next to Victoria was pulled and the man immediately sat down beside him while staring at Grey

"Hey boy, haven't seen each other in a long time"

Grey ignored and still did not budge in his place even though now his head was already fettered with anxiety

"He looks bored Vic"

Victoria looked at Grey

"That's because it's hot"

"Oh. You don't like heat huh"

All eyes focused on seeing Grey with their bowed position until Henry's voice was heard

"How about i-the capital Fred?"

Finally Fredrick straightened again his back to look at Henry who was next to him

"Faith"

Henry nodded briefly

"You guys have been a long time?"

Fredrick asked while looking at Victoria

"Not Your Highness"

Fredrick frowned at Victoria's formal remarks but ended up just silently not issuing his protest.

The stale bases begin by asking each other if it's lunch, who Henry came with, who, Calista came up with whom and brief chats that continued into the old talk of three other people at the Victoria table.

Victoria who did not understand about their conversation only glanced at Diana who kept glancing at her as well, then glanced at the teacup with the lemon slices that were in front of her

Henry who realized that Victoria, who just kept staring at her cup, finally started a conversation by taking her

"Is Lady Victoria feeling bo-bored?"

Victoria graciously raised her camgkir and looked at the voiced Henry, a voice that brought their conversation to a halt

"No Your Highness"

Fredrick, who finally understood the situation, joined Victoria firmly

"You tired of Vic?"

Victoria gracefully put the cup back down

"No Your Highness"

"But you look bored Lady Victoria, forgive us for ignoring you"

Calista's direct shot made Victoria immediately look at him with a sweet smile

"Do I look like I need Lady Calista's attention"

Calista smiled curas

"I'm just asking Lady Victoria, are you offended?"

Seeing the returning atmosphere begins to be unfriendly Fredrick mediates and looks for other topics of conversation

"In two weeks there will be an archery race at the palace as usual to welcome the beginning of summer"

"Really! I-I haven't seen in a long time, have I bo-can Fred come?"

Hearing Henry Victoria's question frowned and retracted his audience seat to assess the situation

"Of course, come..."

"Is this year still holding archery races for hunting?"

Calista asked as he looked at Fredrick sparklingly

"No, this year's just a target race"

"Aahh. I can't wait to see, you're gonna win again Fred"

Fredrick leaned his back against the chair and looked at Calista

"Hopefully"

Hearing Fredrick's words, Henry entered the conversation

"W-why is your horse still not enough Fred?"
