Behind The Castle's

**ARCHERY FESTIVAL**

Waving her arms around Henry's arms, with her chin raised and flat face Victoria stepped forward to follow King George as he led their way to the palace grounds. The arrival of King George made all the legs in the audience seats instantly upright. Victoria glanced in all directions.

All eyes looked, all eyes were judging, a few fans of the noble Lady who were present to accompany their lover, fiancee or husband came open as their heads approached each other, once again, Victoria did not care. Their curiosity and whisperings behind the fan must not only be because of all the stories about him at the engagement party but, because he is now in the arms of the throne line to the two kingdoms, Prince Henry.

When he arrived at the throne seat, King George with all his aura of power immediately sat down and nodded briefly, a sign that he had given permission for all the buttocks to sit.

Victoria and Henry let go of the circle of their hands and took part in two seats to the right of King George, one level below the throne of the King, seats that were supposed to belong to another important person in the kingdom but, instead of the other, since the important man took part in the festival, the chair should be empty.

Victoria who only holds the title of candidate, according to the rules on paper does not yet have a seat to sit down the throne, wherever it is even only in the field as it is now though and, all the scenes that seem very different from the current theory, the more open fans, some of the gentlemen also come closer to each other's heads. Victoria grinned. 'this is amazingly electrifying'

"Are you looking for a-you're Lady's fiancee?"

Fredrick's question made Victoria turn her head and look at him with a smile

"I've only seen this festival for the first time Your Highness, it's crowded here"

Victoria's answer that didn't match Henry's question made her pretty sure not to go back to discussing

"I've also only seen the La-lady festival a few times"

Victoria was enthusiastic

"Why? don't you like this festival?"

With a warm smile Henry looked at Victoria fixedly

"I'm more likely to spend wa-time in Larina"

"I'm sorry if you sassy Your Highness but, is Her Majesty's health very severe maxut me...." Victoria glanced at King George who was busy talking to Edward, the distance of their seats were quite a lot to make Victoria sure to continue his words. "Is Her Majesty still unable to get out of the Castle and must always be accompanied?"

Again Henry smiled warmly and stared fixedly at the two eyeballs as green as Victoria leaves

"Sometimes yes, ji-if it's not very good, I-I should always accompany Her Majesty"

Victoria smiled warmly

"If it is permissible and not considered presumptuous, may I know what Her Majesty's disease is?"

With a smile still imprinted on his lips Henry threw away his face and looked towards the front, stopping his gaze at Victoria.

"Life Lady's disease"

Victoria frowned

"Incouragement? or a blockage in the liver? or the other Your Highness?"

Still looking forward and lips curved upwards, Henry did not open his mouth again but, Victoria kept waiting and kept staring at Henry from the side.

All of those sights made the spies who did not understand the circumstances have other thoughts. In a moment Victoria will again be a byword in the sense that returned bad, 'Lady Victoria who continues to look at Prince Henry with interest'

BONG! BONG! BONG!

The sound of a gong being hit made all the focus of the eye lead to the guardrail, where about 50 men participants immediately entered the field with a bow and arrow in their hands.

Victoria widened her perspective and only realized that in the left direction, at the end of the field there was a target board of straw that was tightly bound with five different color boundaries and made circular.

Behind the target boards, a few meters further away from the target board, there are straw dolls that may become the next round after successfully passing the target board points

"Your Highness, what are the distance meters of the archer and the target board?"

Henry who was focusing on the participants immediately turned to Victoria whose eyes were both busy assessing the target board and the target straw doll. Henry smiled

"Em-forty meters for ta-target board and li-fifty meters for je-straw doll"

Victoria blinked her eyes when she heard the distance between the participant and the target, it was too far for her who had only been taught basic archery techniques.

Henry smiled again

"Lady Victoria seems interested"

Trying to get her mind back, Victoria looked at Henry

"What are the prizes for Your Highness winners?

With lips still curled up Henry replied

"For the third champion to get a gold coin, for the second ju-champion to get a female horse and the first ju-champion ja-male horse"

With eyes that began to be interested in the participants, Victoria nodded in understanding. Victoria widened her gaze to the right, where the male participants began to enter the field and.... his two pitch-green eyeballs immediately collided with the two gray eyeballs he was very familiar with.

With his jaw hardened, Fredrick stared intently at the scene in front of him which was enough to make his head boil, it was his chair and it was his fiancee, but why would anyone else occupy all his positions, and most importantly, it was his, why he could be in that chair or maybe he was ordered to be in his chair.

While stepping for sure and a fixed glare, Fredrick continued to stare at the two leaf-green eyeballs that were also staring at him but, with all his haughty and graceful movements. Without a smile, without greeting, without interest, Victoria turned her face leisurely and gracefully, like she had never known the two gray eyeballs that kept looking at her.

Fredrick felt a strong, familiar sensation on this part, which made all of his anger muffled and made his lips twitch. Victoria now and little Victoria who always throw her face when she sees all her charms.

"I-it's Fred"

Lazily and disinterested Victoria answered Henry's enthusiastic voice

"Yeah"

Henry who found the response was not interested Victoria could only smile amusedly, whereas all the Lady in the audience bench in front of them were whispering flirtatiously while directing their gaze at Fredrick who was wearing an archer's suit

When all was ready in the position of the harness for the archer, King George gave one nod that made the gong back at twice hit, the five men in the first round immediately prepared their posture and position.

A man standing in a tall box raised his hand, making the first five participants immediately raise their bows and arrow, making them, the man who raised his hand high gave the participants a few moments to aim and when the time was enough, the man's hand went down in a dramatic way. Five arrows immediately shot towards the target board, only two managed to get into the third circle, the, the rest are not perfectly stuck to the target board and others miss the circle of the target board.

Victoria immediately straightened her shoulders, the interest grew more and more tempestuous until her eyes glistened with enthusiasm and, an unusual sight in Victoria's show, it was, enough to make the three most important men in the kingdom of Francia smile warmly.
