The lives inside French Court ( A Reign Fanfiction)

Chapter12: Escaping from the castle

Later this day: 

Francis POV 

Tomorrow lola and I will leave the castle for a while. This time away will provide some must needed time away from the castle after everything that has happened these last few weeks. It also gives Lola time to relax and not have people watching over her every second. Our marriage came quick but I truly do love her. Now she is having my child. Hopefully a son, he will probably have a slim chance at a throne, if Mary and Bash do not have children. I don't wish upon them that unlucky fait. But there is a small part of me that wants it to happen. I was promised kingship since the moment I was born. For my brother, half brother to take the crown from me is crazy. It was mine, but for stupid reasons it was taken away from me. But now, I can leave the castle without groups of guards. I have a family now, that I have to protect, My wife and my child. " Lola, we need to pack for the summer cottage. We will have a few guards to bring us there but we will be alone, or maybe one guard. Not one but us. Alone, outside the castle, to do whatever we want. " I tell her as I kiss her on forehead. I can't wait for time away, seperate from the drama at french court and live my life. A life where I am second inline to a throne that I may never reign. " I will need bigger clothes for when we come back. There will be people waiting for us to have a baby. If I show up with a belly, they will know. Im scared of course of what is going to come when it is revealed. But.." Lola says as he hugs me and i cut her off. " Lola, anyone who isn't happy for you is heartless. You are going to have a baby with me, what could be better?" I say to make her feel better. " If someone ever judges you. I will personally hurt them. I am the kings half brother. I still have say in what goes on in my personal life. " I tell her and we start to pack for our 2 months away. These 2 months will be beneficial, for our relationship, for Lola to grow and to be away from Mary. Who's power hungry and waiting to strike at any moment. 

Lola POV 

I can't wait to get out of the castle for a bit. I won't have Mary breathing down my neck and pressuring me to be normal and hide my pregnancy. I know that she needs a baby too but can she let us have this time to experience this moment without her raining on my parade. I don't want any tension between us but it feels like she is going to do anything to ruin this moment. I walk over to my chest and start to put things in the trunk for our journey. Soon these clothes will not fit me which is crazy. I will be  so big and I will have a baby maybe a son. Francis would be so happy if it is a boy. He would have a son, someone to carry on his name. I want a son too, my hope is that it is a boy. I soon finish packing up my things and Francis is too. He sends for some servants to bring our bags to the carriage. This is good for us. We will have a wedding tour and have time away for me to make sure that I am going to be ok. I take Francis's hand and we meet Mary and Bash before we leave. " Be safe Lola, come back soon. I will need your help when i announce when I am with child. Come back soon or don't come back at all. This is my castle now, and if you defy me. You better watch out. " Mary whispers in my ear. I act like I'm not phased by what she is telling me. I want to believe that she is joking but who knows. Mary is a queen in her own right, she is married to the next king of france. She will become all powerful while I am  to serve to her every whim. After saying our goodbyes we head to the carriage and Francis climbs in beside me. Then the driver heads off to the cottage we will be staying at. This time away will provide us with time alone that is well needed. I soon fall asleep on Francis's shoulder. The past 24 hours have ben crazy for me. Sleep is a good thing. 

Mary POV 

How could Lola leave me now? God, I bring her here to help me transition to life at court and she gets pregnant and married to my supposed husband. Could she have at least asked me before this whole thing went down. Or couldn't have Francis not went after my best friend and kept it in his pants. God, Lola can get pregnant so easy. I hope that i have such luck with Bash. If I'm not pregnant or can not get pregnant at all it changes everything for Me and for Scotland. My people would have rule under my half brother and France would belong to Francis and his child with Lola. I do not want that to happen. I need to be pregnant already or very soon. People will start wondering if i can produce an heir for France and Scotland. But also for England.  I hopefully will find out if we are having a little royal. A son would help us both greatly.  If not well,  Bash and I can get into bed quite easily. I love the man, much more than I could ever love Francis. I could love Francis in time but there wasn't that instant attraction then there was to Bash. But now i have to attend to Royal duties, greeting newcomers to the castle and figuring out strategies with my husband. Since Lola and Francis have left the castle , I head to the throne room and sit on my throne. This is something that makes me feel more powerful. Soon, people start to arrive to the throne room with their problems. I am ready to be queen of this great country that I can now call home. I can't wait to have everyone by my side as I rule these great nations with my husband. 

Bash POV 

Wow, today I start the day as a soon king there is no better feeling in the world . I thought that I would never get this feeling of being in charge of a country that was my own. I thought that Francis would get this title but, now its mine. After I get dressed in my King outfit for the day, I head to the throne room to meet with my father's advisers. My father is teaching me the ways of french court. I have to learn all of these things because he taught them to Francis. But since Francis isn't going to be king unless something happens to me i need to learn everything as well. " Bash, it is so nice to see you." Mary says as she walks up to me and kisses me on the cheek. " It is very nice to see you too, I can meet with you later. I have to meet with my father's advisers first. How about we meet for lunch?" I tell Mary, and she agrees. She too probably has things that she needs to do especially since Lola and Francis have left on their wedding tour. I want children with Mary, and I know she does too because she has no one to take her place in Scotland after she dies. I have Francis , but having a child would not give him the chance on the throne. I hope Mary is pregnant, it would make these dramatic last few weeks have some calm. If she isn't, then I know what has to be done. 

Francis POV 

As soon as we got into the Carriage Lola fell asleep. I can't blame her, we have both had a few hectic days at court. So these few weeks away will help us relax and grow as a married couple. Lola is a beautiful women, a wife and future mother. She will be a great mother when we meet our child. That is a moment that I can't wait for.
