Francis stared at Mary his eyes were glistening with joy he rushed over to Mary and picked her pale hand and said " Why didn't you tell me sooner."
"Because I have just found out about the baby." Mary replied "and your mother found out before I even knew."
Francis Laughed happily.

The next day.

Mary and Francis were galloping through Blackwood forest when a messenger from Calais said " My Lord the deal is done the English have given up and taken the prize."
"What prize?" Questioned Mary although she already knew the awnser.
"Mary I am really sorry." Replied Francis
"I can't believe you would trade my mother and Scottish land just to save your throne."shouted Mary " I will never forgive you for this." Mary tugged on the reins and galloped of in the opposite direction.

As soon as she got back to the palace the first person she saw was Lola. Mary thought great of all people she has to be here but before Lola could say or do anything Catherine appeared and called Mary to come into her chamber's.

Mary's eyes were red and puffy, Catherine could tell that something was wrong.
"What happened." Sighed Catherine.
"To stop the English invading France," stated Mary " Francis traded my mother and the south of Scotland to save his throne."
"That was not part of the original deal." Shouted Catherine " Francis may be the king but i make the final decision about state affairs."
"So you didn't know."said Mary " Mary you shouldn't be here when I confront Francis"
"Ok" said Mary.

20 minutes later

Francis and Lola stumbled into the chambers laughing. Francis could not keep his hands of Lola.
"Like father like son." Tutted Catherine " First of all you give away Mary's country and then I catch you putting your hands all over one of Mary's oldest friends please care to explain."
"I ran int....." Lola started
"You will not speak a word in my presence or Mary's now leave." Ordered Catherine "it's bad enough you have one bastard child with her you can't want another."
"Mother you will listen to me you are to leave the court and France I don't care where you go just leave you are to be gone within the hour."demanded Francis. Catherine was shocked an then she asked " What about Mary? "
"Take her with you oh I don't care."
"Francis you will regret this day for the rest of your life." Shouted Catherine
