The lives inside French Court ( A Reign Fanfiction)

Chapter 2: First Night

Mary POV

I see Francis and I can't believe that we are here and in this moment. I now think that I can have a happy life with Francis and in French court. My friends make me happy and feel safe in the palace that seems cold and not warm. " Mary, come dance. " Grier says and I comply and take her hand. " But first , Francis this is Grier , over there is Kenna pouring herself some wine and Lola is beside her. I hope you can get to know them and love them as much as I do" I say quickly. I start to spin around in a circle in my friends , which makes me happy because we have done this when we were little and I was sent away to live in France and lived there doff my later years of my childhood. I missed them and now we get to catch up and learn more about each other.

Francis POV

Lola , what a nice name. I could get used to hanging around them. I need to know more about them and who they are. I reach the end of my day dream and look over and see Mary and her friends spinning in a circle, laughing . It brings a smile to my face that she is having fun. I then hear footsteps come behind me. " Francis, how is Mary holding up. Being at French court and all?" Bash asks me. " I don't know I have gotten to spend much time alone with her to connect and make conversation." I say trying to be vague. " What do you mean, like connect connect?"Bash asks with a laugh under his breath. " No , well yes. But I mean that we can't because she has to be with virtue until after the wedding night.If not the marriage might end in shambles." I say and it weirds me out. " Ah, I see but has another women caught your eye here at court." Bash asks me. I don't want to lie but I also don't want to tell the truth. Lying is better than the truth I guess. " No, I only have my eyes on Mary. After all she will be my wife." I say trying to make myself believe it. I know that I have to wed Mary but I can't help but think about Lola, she is a beautiful girl and that I am lucky that I can spend time with her without having to have a relationship.

Mary POV

I can't help but think that soon I will queen of two countries not just one. I will be married and have a husband. It is something that has been needed of me since I was a baby. I know that Queen Catherine might not like me but I have to wed her son for both of our countries' sakes. I think that I can win her over and make sure that I can win the King and Queen over to marry Francis. I think that it will take some time and that the wedding will be sooner than I think.

Queen Catherine POV

As I stand here I am reminded of the fact that my son will wed the queen of scotland in a few weeks. I can't help but worry like any other mother especially when countries are involved. I turn to Norstradmus , my confidant in the times of worry because he can see into the future. " Norstradmus , what do you see about Mary and Francis after their union?" I ask worriedly . I look up and see Norstadmus look up to the ceiling for a few moments. " My Queen, after their union Mary will cause Francis to lose his life." He tells me and I start to tear up, my son is going to die after he weds. " I have to stop the wedding, it can not happen Mary will kill him" I say to myself. After the celebration, I must break them up and send Mary back to Scotland. I walk over to Mary to talk to her and get to know her. " Mary, I need to speak with you about Francis. Do you have a moment?" I ask her as I take her arm and lead her out of the room. " Yes your grace, what about Francis?" Mary asks me. " My friend , Norstradmus told me that after your union with Francis he will die. Also that you will be the cause of it." I tell her and she looks at me funny. "That is very strange, I don't believe you" She tells me . " Wait until he tells you something that will come true." I tell her and walk away.

Mary POV

I can't believe that Queen Catherine would tell me this, is it because she doesn't like me to marry Francis. I have to ask Norstradmus about this , and see if Catherine is telling me the truth. "Norstradmus, may I speak to you for a moment." I ask him and he accepts. " What would you like to talk to me about your grace?" He asks me . " Queen Catherine told me that Francis will die if we wed. Is that true?" I ask with a worried look on my face. " Yes, it is true. Your union with Francis will cause him his life and you will be the cause of it. I am sorry to tell you this Mary." He tells me and I realize that this is not what I want for Francis. I have to figure out what I want to do. I walk back into the room and see Francis , my views have changed on our union. Francis is my true love and I need to love him. But i don't know if i can marry him after this news but I know that I have to marry him, I just don't want to be the cause of his death. i have to figure it out soon maybe I can save him by marrying someone else in this Royal family.
