Behind The Castle's

**THE TRUTH II**

It had been eight days after his nonan's departure outside the palace but, his non-state had even become worse. I don't know what happened in the capital. Diana wanted to ask again and again but, Victoria seemed to not want to share and save everything.

The night after her return from the capital, Victoria again had a bad dream although not severe and not to make her sick but, still had an impact on ***** meal and non-food activities. Victoria shut herself in the room, and then she would go back to the window, sleep and dream, and then look back at the window until morning and keep repeating for eight days. Repeatedly Diana reminded but still Victoria did not listen and only said if she was okay.

Tok tok tok tok

"My Lady"

The knocking of the door brought Diana's daydream to a standstill and immediately walked towards the door, when the door opened, Kelly's face was the one she saw. Without looking at Diana, Kelly walked into the room and stood behind Victoria, who was sitting in front of the window looking out.

"Good day, My Lady"

Still with her face and eyes looking forward, Victoria opened her voice

"Diana, take Grey for a walk"

Diana frowned but still nodded and called out to Grey who was still staring at Kelly. Grey will always be when Kelly is in the room but, as if fearless. Kelly nonchalantly and casually set foot inside the room.

After the door closed, Diana who was still behind the door heard the sound of the door lock turning. It made Diana's feelings inexplicably unpleasant.

"My Lady's..."

"I want to ask Kelly"

With an enthusiastic face and a wide smile Kelly nodded

"Please My Lady"

"But, before I remind you, you just have to answer and don't ask anything"

Kelly nodded back and looked at Victoria's back which continued to point forward

"Good My Lady"

"Are you born in the capital?"

"True My Lady"

"Tell me how the capital is in summer and autumn. The story of how you get to eat to survive"

With her head beginning to fill with curiosity, Kelly opened her mouth.

"Food is very difficult in the summer. We can usually only eat wild vegetables or try to grow ourselves. Wheat, corn and rice are very difficult and even if there is a very expensive price. Every now and then there will be a roving merchant who sells food and hunted meat at very cheap prices but, that only happens a few times a month. Until we always look for a way out of the reserves, we have to provide and store food such as bread from wheat or bread from rice for preparation in the future, because autumn will be very difficult for us"

"You can keep bread?"

"True My Lady, we will buy as much bread as we can afford when food prices have not gone up, more precisely before summer arrives. But that often makes it harder for us"

"Why?"

Kelly took a deep breath

"The color of the bread we keep will be blackened and moldy but, since we often have no other choice, we will still eat it and consequently will make us get to the hospital. Bread mushrooms can create hallucinations and the worst poisoning if consumed continuously"

Victoria's hands began to tremble, the contents of her head spinning, her chest felt mixed. Exerting all her composure, Victoria again tried to open her mouth

"What about hunting? you guys didn't try hunting in the woods?"

"We always do it My Lady but, since many also go hunting, the catch will be difficult and also very dangerous if hunting"

"Dangerous?"

Kelly was sure

"Truely My Lady, the difficult game animals and the difficult catch make a lot of thieves and criminals waiting in the forest. They will seize the hunting results that they can sell at a high price. The economy is stifling in summer especially autumn"

Victoria took a deep breath

"Have you ever heard of how nobles or the rich survive summer and autumn?"

"My mother's master will usually buy food from outside the kingdom of My Lady, merchants from outside the kingdom will be widely spread during the summer and fall. Although the price is more expensive but their selling goods are very good"

With a firm clenching of her hand to hold back her tightness, Victoria again tried to open her voice

"Thank you Kelly, you can go back to work"

"Good My Lady"

After the sound of the closed door rang out, Victoria stared at the summer clear sky, the sunlight making her eyes narrow and her tears immediately darted out rapidly drenching both her cheeks.

"Yes God.... Whatisthis? How'this? Wh why? what should I do God?"

🔆🔆🔆🔆

"Your Majesty"

After someone's voice rang out from behind the door, Edward immediately released all the invitation letters in his hands and resigned from the presence of King George.

After opening the door, Jeremmy's face that looked ready immediately greeted him. Edward immediately let Jeremmy in when he was out the door.

Jeremmy immediately stepped in ready to head to the front of King George's desk and bowed deeply

"Good day Your Majesty"

Jeremmy's audible voice made King George let go of everything in his hand while leaning his back. His left hand was raised to massage next to his temple and looked at Jeremmy.

"Just go Jer"

Jeremmy nodded and started to open his mouth again

"As you know if eight days ago, His Highness had already brought Lady Victoria to the capital and showed a little bit of the state of the capital as ordered but, not only was it Your Majesty, it was, because Your Highness also 'almost' opened it all up to Lady Victoria, I don't know what the reason is either"

Jeremmy's remarks made the massage on King George's temple stronger

"alright. You can get Jer out"

🔆🔆🔆🔆

Here another, Edward set foot to go to the knight camp at the palace. The unfriendly look on his face made some knights who saw him prefer to dodge and turn around than to have to greet him.

Edward widened his gaze when he entered the camp dining room. There were several other knights still eating there. With wide steps Edward immediately entered

Fredrick quickly sped up his last lunch when he saw Edward sitting at the table. Edward who saw if Fredrick had raised his water glass immediately stared around

"You guys are out"

Some of the knights with the contents of the plate still there, there were even some new knights who would land on his buttocks while carrying the contents of the full plate immediately undo all their movements, he said, and obediently darted out of the dining room.

Leisurely and carelessly Fredrick leaned his back against the chair and Edward's unfriendly voice immediately greeted him

"Why did you open it all?"

Flashing his shoulders, Fredrick opened his voice

"Why indeed?"

"Don't answer my question with Fred's question!"

"Then?"

Edward's emotions run high when Fredrick shows his annoying face

"What's your max with 'then' huh! Why did you tell that girl everything! what do you expect from that girl Fred! you know this isn't our plan! you heard my message when you gave permission from Your Majesty to take the girl out of the palace! to the capital! that girl......"

"His name is Victoria, she's my fiancee and my future wife, Captain Edward"

A sharp voice that immediately chimed in his words made Edward's mouth immediately tight. Even now Fredrick was already staring at him sharply. Edward took a deep breath to dampen his emotions and when his emotions were under control, Edward opened his mouth again

"I'm sorry Your Highness"

Fredrick nodded briefly as he stroked his already full stomach. The look on his face also started to return relaxed and indifferent

"If you can control yourself, I'll continue this and lest I hear 'things' like this again"

Although with a calm voice and a relaxed face but Edward knew, if all the words Fredrick who entered his ear was full of threats.

"Good Fred"

"So...." Fredrick straightened his back while folding his hands in front of the table. "Please ask 'rightly' Ed"

Edward took a breath.

"Why did you open it all?"
