The lives inside French Court ( A Reign Fanfiction)

Chapter 18: Ready for War

Bash POV

This news could not have came at a better time in my life. I am just new to the throne and now i have to deal with a war on our soil. I am not prepared for this at all. I thought a war would come months into the future but not this close after my father died. I need to find Francis now and tell him before innocent people die or the throne is taken over. " Francis where is Lola?" I ask to make light of what I am about to tell him. " Lola left for a few days for a cottage that our Father gave me and lola. She needs to be away from the castle for a while. She is very nervous about having the baby, and life here at court does not help. Why?" Francis questions back. " I got word from some men that petrol the woods saying that the english are coming t o invade France. They want a war Francis." I say with a bit of stern in my face. " This is not good Bash, we need men teenage boys. " Francis tells me and I agree, our home our country is being attacked and we need to save our people. " I need to send word to Lola about this, she needs to know the potential dangers of me staying here to fight for our country. " Francis says as he quickly turns around and runs back to his chambers. I need to find Mary now, she needs to know what is going on. As I run down the hall, all I can think of is Mary, seeing her face will make everything better. I reach Mary, and pull her into my arms. " Bash! What is wrong?" She asks me with a frantic tone in her voice. " The English want to invade, and they are using callie to do it. I have to recruit men and teenage boys to serve with us. Francis is going to inform Lola about him leaving with me. I need Francis to help me with everything. It will be scary but all I know is that we will be together after this. We leave in the morning..." I say starting to kiss her. I soon feel like sense what I'm doing. She agrees with what is about to happen and it will make leaving less hard. Maybe when I come back, she won't be the only one waiting for me.

Francis POV

I make it to the chambers that i share with Lola, and begin to write to her. I dont want to freak her out especially because she s so close to having our baby but she needs to know what is going on at court. " My dearest Lola, Bash received word that the English want to invade France through callie. They want to over throw Bash from the Throne and take anyone with him. I need to fight with our men and the teenage boys. I dont know what the outcome will be but I will fight everyday to come back to you and our child. Tell him everyday that his father loved him, that we loved each other so much and that I died protecting our country with our family and brave men and boys. I love you, truly and will love all the days of my life. Come back to French court, you will have family there Lola. Love Francis, your husband forever."I frantically write down and call for a servant to send it to Lola. I then start down the hall towards the great hall where I see Kenna and Grier sitting together. " Francis, What is wrong?" Kenna asks me as she gets up as I walk towards them. "The English are planning to invade from Callie and I have to fight with Bash and an army. Lola is off at a country home for a few days to relax before she has the baby. I am freaking out because I dont know if I will ever seem them again. They are my life and I dont know how Lola will handle it if I die and never come back. She will be alone when she needs me the most, the time where she is her most vulernable. I want Mary, you and Grier to be with Lola when or if she ever returns to court after the child is born. " I say with tears running down my face. " Francis, everything is going to be ok. The army, Bash and You will win this battle and come back to us safe and sound. You might even have your child when you return. If the army is lead by you and your brother no one can take you guys down. " Kenna says as she hugs me to calm me down. " I need to prepare for tomorrow. I will retire to my chambers. See you when I return. " I say as I walk away and return to my room. This battle will not be easy for everyone involved. My life has been preparing me for the time where I will have to fight for my country. I just didn't picture it right before I am supposed to have a child with Lola. But now I need rest, which will help me in the days, or weeks to come with this war.

Mary POV

This war could have not came at a worse time for French court, Bash and I are new to the throne and everyone else's lives are in shambles. Lola is about to have a baby, while her husband now has to fight in this war. I pray for Lola's safety every day, waiting to see if she has her child. When she was first pregnant I hated the earth she walked on. She got pregnant so easily and I was sitting around waiting for the day when it would be my turn. But now I'm so scared for her because there is a real possibility that he may not come back to court. I am also terrified that Bash will not come back to me, he is my husband and I love him so much that the thought of not being with him hurts. While they are away I have a duty to my countries to protect them and keep them safe during this scary time in our history. I get dressed and look out the window and see the land that I now rule and cannot help but worry about the people I love fighting to protect the country they live in.
