Changing History: God's Intervention

Chapter five

Bash lead her down the hall way towards her chambers when mary stopped walking, he looked at her "mary..."

She looked at him tears of anger filling her eyes "Condé is to die for saving us... he made himself the bad guy to save your life and Catherine is walking free... Francis is poisoned because she was threatened by our love..." she said through gritted teeth.

Bash felt a sadness hit him he was sure that this is where she was gonna tell him to leave and not to come back, that he wasn't worth all this trouble. She had waited said pretty things to contemplate him but she would always choose Francis over him. Bash didn't know how wrong he was. Mary was pissed and she was sick and tired of the games people played with her life and those she loved and now she was gonna do something about it.

Bash waited for her to say it bracing himself when she opened her mouth. "It is time Catherine learns I am not a silly little girl and she cannot attack me at her own will... I will not have anyone else I love subjected to this, as long as she is alive our marriage will never be safe..."

Bash blanched wait did she just say their marriage? Had he completely read this wrong? Her next words proved the answer to both questions where yes.

"Catherine will pay before I let her take you from me again." She said looking at him "I will not sleep till she does." She marched towards the main hall where an alarm was to alert the rest of the castle.
Bash watched her go shocked still for a moment before coming back to his senses and running after her. "Mary what are you planning?"

She looked at him a fire in her eyes one demanding justice. "I am going toe to toe with the queen of France are you with me?" she asked

Bash stared at her, he wanted so badly to scream no and tell her they should rest and come up with a plan and do it quietly but he knew Catherine watched for plans to take her down built a defense to everything calling her out on spot would keep that from happening also save his brother who had taken the brunt of Catherine's plans. He looked into his fiancée's eyes feeling his own determination coming to the front he nodded "Im with you in this world and the next." He said gently.

She nodded and grabbed the rope yanking on it sending the bell tolling through the castle and the response was almost immediate but mary ignored it. Grabbing bash's hand she pulled him to the throne room and waited.

They didn't have to wait long as the inhabitants of the castle rustled from their sleep all made their ways into the room the king and queen rushing in behind them both irritated and ruffled from their separate beds. Henry moved to mary and bash who stood on the landing where the thrones sat, he was in no mood to play.
"What is the meaning of this?" he hissed

"I apologize your majesty but something has come to light and bash and I felt It needed to be dealt with before the criminal could hide their actions if we let them know we're after them and wait for proof they will hide their tracks we thought it best to confront them with their guards down." She whispered where only henry and bash could hear.

He stared at her "I demand an explanation later but I will grant you your chance lets hope it is not fruitless." He said

She and bash nodded and turned to face the court seeing Catherine demanding answers made Mary's blood boil.

"Attention Residents of French Court!" she started
Everyone stared at her and she took it as her que to continue. "I apologize for the lateness, but I felt that as a queen and friend to France I could not let this matter wait till morning!" she said

"And what matter is that your grace?" Narcisse asked snidely not fond of being woken up in the middle of the night as nobody was.

"Myself and my fiancée have it on good authority that the dauphin of France has been poisoned! Though it was not meant for him!"
