Behind The Castle's

**DEAL**

Edward frowned

"But he doesn't have your Majesty's experience yet. He had also been in the war area for a long time, moreover he was too young to learn all of Duchy in a surprising way"

With a gaze that still continued to stare and look far out the window, King Geroge smiled bitterly

"You think how old William was when he started holding Duchy?" King George glanced at Edward who shook his head. "William held Duchy when he was only sixteen. When he was nineteen years old, with his own hands and his own head he could further expand even controlling the kingdom's outbound trading market" Both of King George's grey eyeballs looked back out the window and glared far away. "I remember when Emylis was seventeen years old when she met the twenty-three-year-old William, and they were engaged a year later"

"By bringing each other big names on both shoulders, they could scoop up half the trade in Francia. At that time I was still the young crown prince and was just learning, while William had occupied the parliament chair. Not just an ordinary chair, but a chair of the palace. At the age of twenty-seven years, the history of Francia still records if the name William Arathorn is the youngest holder of the chair of parliament in this kingdom. And when he married Emylis.." King George searched and opened the window. "At that time he was twenty-nine years old, which is the same as the union of Arathon and Rubens. With the merger of Duchy Albany and Duchy Ross, they took hold of Francia's trade and politics. Attracting many names of great nobles to be by their side was even the great nobles in other kingdoms. Until now and certainly until later Ed"

Edward gulped his saliva violently while twitching his eyes

"Gruesome"

King George's long breath was heard, making Edward look out the window

"Well, that's Arathorn, especially by hugging Rubens"

Edward rubbed his nape while thinking hard

"It's a good thing they're not interested in taking up Your Majesty's weapon"

King George smiled

"That color William sent his only son and heir when he was only eighteen years old to the battlefield"

The words of King George made Edward round his eyes while grimacing in horror

"Yes my.... They're so terrible, Your Majesty"

"That's what made me decide to impose my destiny and take a quick shortcut to cut off one of their heads because, now it's not just Albany and Ross that's making me nervous........"

With a tired step King George returned to his seat

"There's still Lorne, Bedford and now Sheffield"

Edward chimed in on the words of King George he did not want to continue.

Still frowning in horror, Edward looked at King George with his head turned

"Will the 'boy' be the same as his ancestor or his father Your Majesty?"

"He could have been more terrible Ed. Because it has got a touch of lifting weapons especially mentally who have been in war"

While watching King George begin to re-raise his paper, Edward voiced his thoughts and heart

"It looks like we should be friends with them Your Majesty. When you need to embrace them"

King George's sudden rarity rang out, again making Edward frown

"What do you think we're doing now, Ed? therefore, take care of Victoria as best as possible especially when she is here. We have forced a bond they never wanted, lest it be all for naught" While releasing his pen, King George looked at Edward with a cold and sharp look on his face "I can throw away my own son if he makes the stability of this kingdom shake, and I alone will cut the neck of my son or whoever it is if it makes the stability of this kingdom crack"

Edward gulped his saliva violently, and looked at King George who opened his mouth again

"And remember this Ed, I can do anything for the palace, especially for this kingdom"

Submissively and without comment Edward nodded

"Keep watching also 'other dogs', we can't be careless at all points that could trigger a rift"

Edward replied with a deep bow.

"I hear, there's going to be a tea party tomorrow afternoon?"

Staring at the scene and letting a hand play with her hair, Victoria seemed to have no intention of answering

"Am I right Vic?".

"Hmmm..."

Fredrick stopped his finger, which continued to roll up Victoria's hair, and looked at the two horses with contrasting colors that were being tied next to each other.

"That means tomorrow we can't ride?"

Victoria did not answer back and did not intend to answer, but Fredrick did not give up

"Are we riding when we're finished?".

Victoria's brows furrowed even without changing the direction of her gaze which continued to gaze towards the front. Fredrick kept watching and kept trying

"We can ride at night"

"Riding at night is too cold even though it's summer Bash"

Holding his lips back from chuckling, Fredrick looked at Jeremmy, who had rolled his eyes dramatically because of his words, but Fredrick was not done yet

"Who said night riding was so hot Vic, so sweaty"

With eyebrows raised high, Victoria finally turned her head and looked at Fredrick who pressed into her lips for holding back a laugh. Especially because Fredrick had glanced at Jeremmy and other knights who had closed their eyes with twitching lips to hold a smile.

"I used to ride at night, and it was so cold that my legs and hands were numb"

"Ahhh. That's probably because you're not riding with the right guy Vic"

Victoria frowned confused, especially because she looked around her who had been holding back a smile. While Fredrick, continued to press his lips inward

"Do you have any other sense of your words Bash?"

This time, Fredrick's laughter shot straight out of his mouth. Jeremmy simply smiled as he shook his head, and the other knights began to cackle bashfully

"I'm right, right? you have any other meaning in your words Bash?"

With one hand holding the stomach, and one hand pinched Victoria's cheek with anxiety, Fredrick laughed amusedly and was also anxious to see Victoria's face that looked confused but also curious

"You're curious, honey?"

Despite giggling at Fredrick's call, curiosity made Victoria nod in confidence

"Is that a saying? or a meaningful figure?"

Fredrick chuckled while shaking

"That's a phrase for a job"

With her eyebrows furrowed again, Victoria looked at Fredrick with growing curiosity

"What job?"

"Your Highness!"

Jeremmy's warning made Fredrick close his already open mouth, and chose to cancel out all his devious thoughts

Turning her eyeballs alternately between Jeremmy and Fredrick, Victoria grew impatient

"What job is Bash?"

Fredrick chuckled and threw his back with origin onto the grass

"If it's time, you'll know later and...." Fredrick looked up, at Victoria with a sharp look. "you have to work on it only with me, never with anyone else. Understood?"

Victoria frowned and looked at Fredrick's stern gaze in confusion. But finally because he was lazy to think about things that are not important, despite hesitation and confusion, his head still nodded. That made Jeremmy roll his eyeballs and open his mouth

"My Lady, tell that to His Highness too"

The other two knights there immediately nodded excitedly as they looked at Victoria's bewildered face. After a moment of Jeremmy's words, Victoria finally opened her mouth

"Bash, if you do that job with someone else. First, I will never cooperate with you again in that work. Second, I will make cooperation with other competent people and people I want"

Fredrick quickly straightened his back while looking at Victoria sharply.

"Don't try Victoria!"

Although Fredrick's voice had already risen, Victoria nonchalantly blinked her shoulders and glanced at Jeremmy as well as the two other knights who were about to jump up to cheer

"Hey listen to Vic, don't you ever try to do all that you said just now even just to think about it!"

Victoria looked at Fredrick's two gray eyes, which were already brightly glazed, and then her smile rose

"So..are we in agreement?"

Quickly, very quickly Fredrick immediately nodded confidently and linked their hands with his gaze that looked at Victoria deeply

"Deal"

Jeremmy smirked, and glanced at the two other knights who were also already grinning
