Behind The Castle's
**PACE HILL**
"How's it?"
"Relax Hans, it's all safe, Jackson's willing to trade with me and you're just waiting in front of the southern palace tomorrow"
The smile on Hans lips immediately rose so wide that it smirked
"Thanks!"
"But remember Hans, don't mess around, you said you just wanted to pay attention and learn it"
Still with a big smile, Hans nodded his head full of lies and glanced at the two other knights who were grinning to notice his conversation and the man in front of him
"Just calm down"

After getting an order from Edward, Jeremmy immediately checked the name of the knight who would accompany Victoria this afternoon and after getting if the names of the knights were amam, Jeremmy immediately went to the tea banquet in the backyard of the palace, where eight nobles and three businessmen were gathered to take a big part in the capital market.
Jeremmy approached Edward who was in his usual position, standing still and quiet not too far from King George's seat. Jeremmy gave a nod to Edward who was immediately responded by a nod, a sign that Edward could let go of his mind to Victoria who would not be accompanied by Fredrick or Jeremmy this afternoon, because this meeting needs them.
"Jerh....."
Fredrick's alarm-like voice to make his body move, immediately made Jeremmy's head nod briefly and opened the box containing many perklamen. Two of the selected clerks were immediately handed Jeremmy to Fredrick.
Fredrick immediately opened the Perklamen, which contained the work and design of his observations for eight days yesterday.
"We still can't raise Duke Argentt's taxes, summer is coming in mid-season and we can't risk what's going to be difficult for ordinary people"
"But we will get funds from where Your Highness, especially for the southern region, we will always need war funds, they always harass us"
Fredrick nodded and spread one perklamen onto the table
"This year we've had enough progress and people can be a little calm because we can provide food, although not much" Fredrick searched and glanced one by one the man he was on the table. "We can raise the price of food for the upper middle class by setting a price that is equal to the price when they buy food out of work"
"What if they're still going to buy out of Your Highness? most of us because every year we are accustomed to buying from food suppliers outside, we have become a subscription and many benefits are often in the can"
Back Fredrick opened one more parchment and spread it over the table.
"Close trade routes to the outside"
After Fredrick's words were finished, silence was long enough for King George to make a sound.
"There will be no problem even if we force a closure for two seasons, because we will make Albany will not supply outside and open trade routes again from outside the government"
The heads on the table began to move to nod
King George smiled faintly but with a thought that only he knew.

On the other hand, Victoria took a rare golden opportunity as now, her riding time would not be watched by Jeremmy or Fredrick.
Victoria was still trying to persuade the three knights who were escorting her to allow her to ride behind the palace, more precisely behind the palace hill and more precisely close to the Larina castle.
"Can't be My Lady, it's too far away, you can surround all the corners of the palace, it's even wider than the hill there"
Victoria increasingly explained her face even now she was linking her hands in front of her chest. The two knights there were increasingly powerless to continue resisting, their defenses were already on edge but, all the raging feelings in their hearts were released because a knight again took a deep breath and opened his voice
"Well My Lady, but don't go too far and stay around us"
Unknowingly, Victoria immediately jumped up while clapping her hands, her lips smiling widely with sparkling eyes. Victoria's actions and movements made a roar
"My Lady"
The calm but warning voice from Diana made Victoria pursed her lips.
"You can bring your servant My Lady"
The kind words of the knight who had given her permission earlier made Victoria's smile widen
"I've never seen you, what's your name?"
The knight smirked
"I'm Hans, My Lady"
Still with a big smile Victoria nodded without knowing, what would happen later
--000--
In an ungraceful way Victoria jumped off her horse and immediately ran for a small run towards Diana who had just gotten off the horse with a knight named Ferry.
"Come on, we'll go there"
While pointing to the edge of the hill, more precisely to the edge of the gorge, to see the view of Larina castle from there
"What is Larina Fer?"
"True My Lady, I beg you not to advance My Lady, because it is dangerous"
Indifferently Victoria ignored Ferry's remarks and got closer.
"My Lady's".
This time Diana also gave a warning to Victoria, who finally made Victoria's move stop.
"All right..all right..." Victoria glanced around. "Where are the others Fer?"
Ferry also took a look around and did not find the figure of his friends who were beside their horses, making Ferry frown
"My Lady, I'll try to see them"
With an enthusiastic nod Victoria gave permission
After the knight Ferry stepped back into the hill trees, Victoria immediately dragged Diana to the edge of the gorge. Diana who actually understands her nona brain, this time follows
"How long do you think it'll be from here to there?"
Diana tried to think then shook her head and whispered
"Looks, we can't get there if Vic's from here, we have to go down the hill"
Victoria looked around and nodded in agreement
"True, it looks like we have to go to the right side, I saw earlier when the trip there is a road down the hill, maybe there is a road leading to it"
Pulling Victoria's hand back away from the edge of the hill, Diana glanced around inexplicably becoming calmer and Diana whispered back
"Where are they Vic? why I'm feeling so bad, we should have taken Grey"
With a shaky pace, and with a real feeling of unease, Victoria kept walking towards the place where their horses were tied.
Victoria sharpened her line of sight and found no one there
"Where are they?"
With a feeling that had become anxious, Diana sharpened her gaze and asked.
"Where are they Vic? did they leave us?"
"No way, their horses are here, are they pooping?"
Diana frowned then scratched her neck with an increasingly anxious feeling
"But they didn't tell us, somehow I felt bad Vic"
Although Victoria also felt a feeling that was not much different from Diana, but as much as possible Victoria tried to calm down, although his mind drifted far away thinking about what bad things would happen to them and what would he neglect if something bad happened. Victoria's intelligent brain immediately responded sharply.
"Calm down, let's look inside"
Doubtfully Diana nodded and immediately took Victoria's hand. Victoria smiled because Diana's treatment was similar to her Charlotte when feeling anxious.
A few minutes passed and they found no one there, Diana's hand in Victoria's grasp growing stronger
"We'd better get back to Vic's horse"
"All right"
Victoria and Diana finally turned their steps again, to return to near the brink but,
"Hallo Ladies.... "
Diana gasped for the voice of someone who suddenly appeared and her figure was suddenly present in front of them, there were even two different knights in front of them
"Ahh Hans, you're shocking" Victoria observed the two knights standing next to her. "Where are Ferry and Edith Hans?"
The three knights in front of him immediately chuckled at Victoria's confused face
"There won't be Ferry and Edith, who are here me, Alex and Gaston"
"You exchanged tasks?"
Victoria's casual remarks drew Hans and Alex closer to Diana and Victoria. Unsuspecting Victoria was just silent, until their steps were already beside Diana. Diana screeched because her hands were pulled rough
"What are you doing!"
"We'd like to play a little game with your pretty waitress Lady"
