Behind The Castle's
**II* AFTERNOON PROBE**
"The more the better"
Henry chuckled at Fredrick's confident speech and re-opened his voice
"What about Panter's situation? is d-he's getting old?"
Grabbing Fredrick's biscuits smiled and looked at Henry
"Yeah he's almost old, but still tough"
"It's true, he's over 10, right?"
Calista chimed in on the chat. Fredrick nodded
"Yes, 11 years in the spring"
Calista smiled warmly and looked at Fredrick who also returned his smile
"He needs Fred's girlfriend"
Calista's words made the three people at Victoria's table chuckle. Victoria grew tired of not getting any interesting or useful stories, gracefully stretching out her hand to pick up kookies but as it turned out, Henry also took the kookies that made their hands meet on the plate. Henry chuckles
"Please La-lady"
Victoria smiled
"No Your Highnes, please"
Henry shook his head with a smile
"No Lady, please, I-let me be a real gentleman"
Victoria's naughtiness made Fredrick look at her fixedly and Calista smiled curiously
"You guys get along fast"
Calista's words made Henry raise one eyebrow and Victoria just blinked her shoulders indifferently
"Of course, La-lady Victoria is a friendly La-lady"
Fredrick chuckled without a sense of humor and immediately glanced at Victoria
"You're really very friendly Vic"
"Hmm yeah thanks"
Victoria did not welcome Fredrick's temptation and went back to biting her kookies. Calista looked back at Fredrick and spoke again
"You look tired Fred, are you sleeping irregularly?"
Henry glanced at Calista and Victoria alternately, then glanced at the smiling Fredrick
"What's so visible?"
Calista nodded confidently
"Of course, under your eyes start to blacken, don't overwork, 'play' once in a while"
With an inviting smile and fixedly staring, Calista pressed a certain word in her sentence.
Victoria didn't really understand not even caring but not Henry, her friendly smile soon faded
"Later if the capital business is over I'll take a break Cal, I'm fine"
Fredrick smiled faintly to return Calista's extremely sensual gaze but, all their calm and familiar state immediately stiffened as Victoria's voice came out from her small mouth
"Is that a promise?" Victoria looked at Fredrick and Calista alternately. "For you to play together?"
Henry's coughing voice immediately filled the cold atmosphere of the table, Henry tried to reach for tea because of choking kookies in the chewed. Fredrick straightened his shoulders several times, the look of his face turned to..... cold? and Calista just smiled obliquely.
Long enough that the atmosphere of the table was filled with Henry's coughing voice, Victoria looked at Henry's reddened face, either because of choking or because of something else too, Victoria just put on her flat face
"You okay Your Highness?"
Victoria's soft, worried tone warmed up and replied to Victoria with a warm smile
"I-I'm fine Lady. thank you"
Victoria sat back in a relaxed and indifferent manner although the situation at the table had not improved, but Victoria had not finished, her two leafy green eyeballs staring at Fredrick and Calista alternately
"So, are you guys gonna play?"
"No"
Fredrick's sharp and cold voice made Diana who continued to be a distant spectator quiver, Henry just pretended not to know, Calista gracefully raised her cup and Fredrick stared at Victoria intently
"I think Yo......."
"What are you thinking?"
Fredrick immediately cut off Victoria's words with his sharp and cold voice, Victoria smiled and re-opened her mouth
"I thought Your....."
This time Victoria's smile faded, her brows furrowed deeply and returned Fredrick's gaze sharply
"Do invite someone to play has maxut Your Highness, musty......"
"Say clearly your max Vic, don't go around in circles"
Victoria frowned, she really did not understand what max Fredrick kept scolding her
"What's your problem Your Highness?"
"I want to know your max"
"And I'll explain! so don't cut my words!"
"I cut out your words that will only play words"
"What mak...."
"Tell Lady Victoria plainly, you're sneering at our 'play' right?"
Calista chimed in on their conversation. Victoria increasingly did not understand, her temple twitched because it held back upset.
"Did anyone ask you Lady Calista?"
"I spoke out because I was offended"
"offended?"
Victoria's temples are twitching, even her hands are clenched
"Of course, you're trying to sneer at us in front of the servants and Henry"
Feeling increasingly unable to hold back, Victoria tried to catch her breath and glanced around the audience even though their heads were bowed, Victoria only realized that there were many servants around them.
"Yes it's up to me. Instead of being a fuss I say goodbye"
Indifferently and angrily resisted Victoria immediately got up but Fredrick blocked her hand firmly, until her butt landed violently on the chair
Henry who saw that the situation was getting worse tried to mediate
"Fred is that"
"Silent Hen, Victoria had to explain her max and what understanding she had from the conversation, right now, right here"
Victoria's teeth curl, her head throbbing, her hands clenched, her face ready for all the bad things. Diana who was already standing trembling trembled when she saw Victoria's face
"Deliver"
A cold voice with sharp hissing lips immediately made all heads look at him, especially Fredrick who immediately caught on if Victoria was ready to get out of control
"Let go of my hand or I'll do something"
Fredrick raised one eyebrow and kept gripping Victoria's arm
"You trying to threaten me?, I won't let go before you explain"
"Grey!"
Hearing Victoria's voice calling out to him, Grey immediately woke up, Grey's two golden eyeballs that catch if his master's arm is held uncomfortably immediately incubated with teeth still clenched
"Grey is ready, choose who to attack first"
Fredrick lost his temper and immediately took Victoria to his feet, with all his strength Victoria restrained and withdrew from Fredrick's drag
Unasked, seeing his struggling master, Grey immediately jumped on the table, clanking a teapot and glass of ceramic that fell into the cement making the atmosphere more crowded
Calista screeched in fear until his chair fell down, which made him fall in a dishonorable way on the cement, Henry just stood away from the table, all the servants there started to get scared and ready to run. Things are getting messy.
This time Fredrick could not stand it and brought his face closer to Victoria
"Once he attacks someone here, I won't hesitate Vic"
Henry gulped his saliva with difficulty and glanced at Calista who sobbed spoiled because his open hands and shoulders became injured due to the impact of cement. Grey was still on the table brooding and already baring his teeth, the servants who were in the same were trembling in fear, but all of Henry's attention on the surroundings came to a halt when Victoria's ruckus sounded.
Victoria drew her face closer to Fredrick, her two leafy green eyeballs staring at Fredrick coldly, her jaw firmly clenched until her voice whizzed sharply
"What are you gonna do? kill my family again?"
