Behind The Castle's

**II*THINKING**

"You've been a very good lady"

"Of course"

Victoria snatched quickly the words of doctor Lily. Seeing Victoria's feet about to jump to the floor, Fredrick quickly advanced to snatch Victoria's hand. Victoria was grim

"I've recovered and stopped treating me like a lame Bash"

While pretending not to see and hear anything, Lily's doctor's hand quickly cleared all of her doctor's weapons

"You need to slow down, Vic"

"I'm healed, look. My legs aren't bruised anymore"

"But you can't jump in like that"

"You're so chatty Bash"

"Grey won't cry just because you're a few minutes late to pick her up"

"Shut up chatty"

"The Vic! why are you jumping around!"

With Victoria's giggling laughter and Fredrick's chatty voice continued. Dr. Lily further accelerated the last movement of inserting and tidying up the tool to the last movement to close the medical weapon box.

"Please resign Your Highness and Lady Victoria"

Fredrick finally turned his head and gave one nod to Lily's doctor. With a big smile Victoria slightly bent her knees at doctor Lily.

"Thank you doctor Lily"

Doctor Lily immediately shook her head strongly

"No Lady, this has become my duty and duty"

Victoria smiled warmly and helped lead doctor Lily to her doorstep, in front of Jeremmy's door was ready to take doctor Lily.

After Lily's departure, Victoria raised one eyebrow to look at Fredrick

"You're not going?"

Fredrick grinned

"No, I'm being kind and I'm gonna help you take a shower"

One pinch landed in Fredrick's hand, Fredrick's amused nudity immediately slid until several passing servants turned to the front door of Victoria's room. Still with the rest of his weakness, Fredrick's hands stretched out to cupped Victoria's face. Victoria again raised one eyebrow and looked at Fredrick's face which was closely watching his face.

To the left to the right, to the right to the left and then back to the left and right until Victoria finally began to get upset

"Ck! what are you looking for in my face?"

"Snakes and bruises"

Victoria rolled her eyeballs

"Every hour you keep doing this Bash, you just reason"

Fredrick smiled amusedly

"You're right, I'm just arguing"

"So..what's your diagnosis?"

"Clean"

Victoria smiled amusedly as she glanced

"And.....??"

"Sugary"

Victoria's naughtiness soon rolled in which Fredrick's naughtiness followed. Victoria looked back at Fredrick

"When Diana was able to return to my side"

"Tomorrow he'll come back to your side"

"And....???"

Victoria glanced at Fredrick who pinched her cheek.

"Tomorrow we can go"

With sparkling eyes and a warm smile, involuntarily or consciously? Victoria hugged Fredrick. Fredrick gasped for a split second, but quickly set up his defense and returned Victoria's impressed embrace. Fredrick chuckled again as Victoria patted firmly on her wide back, in a manly manner.

"Next take me for a walk to the capital"

"It was difficult" Indifferently and impressed to escape, Fredrick immediately turned his body towards the corridor. "I've done a lot of Vic, Bye"

"Don't run Bash!"

With feet that stepped fast and wide, Fredrick's laughter echoed along his journey through the corridor.

After Fredrick was not seen again, Victoria's smile immediately vanished with an indecipherable look.

A lot of stars scattered, the occasional wind blew swaying the leaves of trees that began to dry up, the stars of the night in the summer tonight is very much even, too much, not much different from the contents of the mind in Victoria's head. A lot of things he was thinking, a lot of things he was trying to relate to and a lot of things were also being drawn to conclusions by him, but, his main thought was fixed on Kelly's words a few days ago. It's not about the contents of the palace, it's about the Duchy and the food.

Victoria took a deep breath as she continued to caress Grey's head. Either way, Victoria has to find out more.

"Grey, what do you think the secret of His Majesty has been kept in a meeting?"

With half an eye open, Grey just quietly lies sweetly on Victoria's lap

"Actually, what's in Larina?"

Grey remained silent and continued to enjoy the gentle hand caress on his head

"Why does His Majesty want me so much? is this all just because of their greed and cunning to hold Albany? or is there anything more to it than that?"

With eyes that were almost perfectly closed, Grey no longer cared about any voice that was fixed for him.

"And why do I feel that all this has something to do with Calista, even he can have an elite knight who takes his side and does not hesitate to touch me. Wh why? how come? who is Grey? or...." Victoria was tired. "He's got a piece of all this puzzle? but in which part? in what part?"

Victoria glanced at the window that was not closed, the night wind that blew occasionally made the candle flame twitch, strands of her hair occasionally flying, her bed curtains widened and fluttered.

"But most of all, why would Kelly say that if it were possible, Duchy had such a big part to play in the life of the capital now" Victoria's eyebrows contorted. "Heh's changes..! In what parts? and for what?. Duchy belongs to Albany and to the inhabitants of Albany! Arathorn only plays a role for the trading system, right Grey?"

Victoria's hand stopped stroking Grey's head and moved to massage his temple. Feeling that her head was throbbing, Victoria decided to go to bed and reach for the bell, asking Kelly to make her herbal tea.

On the other hand, in Duchy Ross is more precisely in the Ross castle. Hustle and bustle spread inside the castle to the outside around the Ross castle. All their hustle and bustle are caused by preparations to celebrate the birthday of their beloved Duke. The people seemed happy and excited, can be seen from the many deliveries of flowers, letters, even gifts for their beloved Duke, even though, the day-H has not lasted.

To kill time, Albert and Charles try to count the heaps of letters and high-stacked gifts placed in the blue, living room of the Ross residence.

"Are I taking too long?"

The door that opened with the sound of someone making the direction of view of Charles immediately staring at the source of the sound, while Albert was still busy unbinding the piles of letters.

"So....?"

With charisma and serenity, Thomas landed his buttocks while asking questions

"Are the ladies still busy?"

Albert's question was answered with a brief nod of Thomas. Albert, who saw that his brothers-in-law were already sitting on the sofa and ready, finally opened his voice.

"The palace is replying to the letter, right?"

Thomas nodded at Albert and Charles

"They're coming"

Charles retorted with a nod and looked at Thomas and Albert in a tangle

"Is Uppton still on his way?"

While tidying up the bonds of the letter that had been messed up, Albert looked at Charles.

"Philip and Ivon gave a message if possible they would arrive in the early hours of the day".

"We have to wait for Philip to split the heads"

Thomas' wise words made Albert and Charles nod.

"Have you heard the latest from our ladies?"

Albert's question was answered with a nod to Thomas and Charles.

"Among the ton, Victoria's name is rapidly improving, and this is not good"

"They've been working very hard, as if we're sure we're going to let the wedding happen"

Thomas chimed in on Charles saying that Albert was going to be silent and not open his voice. I don't know what he's thinking, for now only he knows.
