The ground was thickly covered in snow and it was the middle of the night. Someone had been following Catherine since she left and it was now that she plucked up her courage to see who was behind her and she saw Mary's snow white horse and let out a sigh of relief l. Mary pulled alongside Catherine's chestnut horse and asked "He doesn't love me does he."
"I really don't know anymore."Replied Catherine
"Well I'm certain of one thing you are welcome in Scotland and we will get back what is rightfully ours." Stated Mary. Catherine's face lit up she saw part of herself in Mary and to her that meant everything.

They rode on and by dawn they could see the aqua blue of the sea. They pulled their hoods further over their faces. Mary looked around the docks looking for a quiet boat when she saw one in the far left hand corner where a young man was holding a sign saying 'for hire'.
"There'' said Mary  pointing to the secluded area where the man was. They slowly walked over to the man with the horse's reins. When the man saw them walking over to them his eyes lit up "where do you want to go." Asked the young man
"Scotland" Catherine said. " don't tell anyone we are travelling with you or I will have your head do you understand?" The young man nodded.

The next day..

The boat pulled into the dock. The dock guards placed a gang plank against the boat. Mary was the first person of the boat, the wind blew back Mary's hood revealing her pale face. Everything stopped when one of the guards saw who she was he dropped down on one knee in respect he the saw Catherine de Medici and he bowed even lower. Everyone followed in the same manner.
"Your majesty it is an honour to see your grace so well and on english soil."

Back in France

A young servant girl ran up to lady Greer and tugged her dress and then handed her the letter. It said "Dear Greer
I know I should have said goodbye in person but the time you get this letter I will be long gone. I hope that you will join me here in Scotland as my lady in waiting and you should bring Leith with you as soon as you arrive in Scotland I would give both of you land because I owe you so much. I beg you not to tell Francis or Lola where I have gone because they have both hurt me very badly.
Friends always
Mary."
"Please tell my servants to ready my bags  I am leaving court tell the duke of mouren but no one else." Said Greer the servant ran of to start packing Greer's bags.

Bash was chasing kenna around their chamber's when Kenna spotted the letter on her desk she could guess what it said and who it was from. "Bash I'm going to Scotland and there is nothing you can do about it." Kenna said
"Ok then let me come with you but first i'll go and tell francis." Bash replied.
"No don't tell francis or Lola there is a good reason why Mary has left the court."Kenna said with a sharp tone in her voice.

Kenna and bash meet Greer and Leith in the courtyard they decided they would travel in the same carriage.
