Long May She Reign

_Part one_

Mary: Henry died last night...

Everything will be different from today.

But I don't know how... I haven't seen Francis since last night... I don't know if he's rested or not... I'm very worried about him... The door opens...

Mary: Are you okay? Did you not sleep at all?

Francis: My father's deputies were talking and teaching me how to be a state... I was not allowed to leave there at all... I am now the king...

Mary: Yes...

Francis: And you are the queen...

Mary: Of course...

Francis: From now on, we are going to rule France together...

Mary: That's right...

Francis: But I never wanted it to happen like this...

Mary: It's not your fault Francis, it was an accident...

Frances: Mary, I saw how my father touched you...

Mary: Were you there?

Frances: Mary, I have to tell you something...

There is a knock at the door...

Mary: Come in...

Servant: Your Highness, you have a letter from Lady Lola...

Mary: Thank you...

I open the letter and read, Lola is in labor... My whole body is shaking I don't know what to do, should I tell Francis about this?... But what will happen to my life.. .. I don't know, but right now nothing is more important than the health of Lola and the baby.... I gather all my courage to raise the issue with Francis....

Mary: Frances, there is something I need to tell you about... Lola is giving birth and you have to go...

Francis: Me? Why me? where is julian

Mary: Julian is dead and that... you are the father of Lola's baby

Francis: What? How is this possible? Why didn't you tell me this earlier?

Mary: Don't worry Frances, we'll find time to discuss this later, but right now nothing is more important than the health of Lola and the baby... so go...

Francis: Guard, prepare a horse for me, I must go on a journey...

Mary: My heart aches, but I bear it, I go into the main hall and see Catherine in a hurry...

Mary: What happened?

Catherine: There is a rumor that the plague has taken over the world again...

Mary: What? how about

Catherine: I don't know... where is Francis?

Mary: Francis went... to Lola... Catherine, the father of Lola's baby Francis

Kathryn: Oh, but whatever it is, he shouldn't leave us alone in this situation... Don't go to him... Guards close the gate and don't let the king leave the castle...
Mary: Francis, wait... there is a rumor that the Black Death is back, you shouldn't leave Rovalan Castle...
Frances: Mary, I'm sorry, but I have to go to Lola and the baby now, whatever happened...
Mary: What... this is really an insult... you want your country and your wife, who is obviously the queen, in such a situation you leave alone and go to your lover and your child...
Frances: I know it's a terrible situation, Mary, but I have complete trust in Queen Tem, I know you'll get through this easily... and right now, nothing is more important to me than the health of Lola and the baby...
Mary: No, Francis, you are not only responsible for the health of Lola and the child, you are now the king of France and you are responsible for the lives of all the people of your country...
Francis: But I am the father of that child and now they are the only ones who matter... I will meet a powerful lord in Paris and I will send him to help you, my mother and father are here with you. ...
Mary: But Francis, I need my king in this situation as queen, not viceroy, queen mother, and lords, I need you.
Frances: Mary, I'm sorry, but I have to go... I wish you had told me sooner, maybe then we would be better off now.
Mary: Francis, no... Francis, you can't leave me alone, no, Francis, don't go...
I returned to the castle with a broken heart
