I could feel my chocolate hair whipping against my face as my feet thudded against the forest floor. I had caught word that my sister was staying at French court.
I could feel a smirk slip onto my lips as I heard the hooves of my sister's horses hitting the floor, she knew that I wouldn't be too far behind her. After being cast out I had quickly retreated to the forest, learning how to hunt and survive.
Mary was said to be taking my place as queen, marrying Francis to form an alliance with France. She may have been groomed for this but she was too much of a child still and among royals she would crumble.
Although I found my sister a brat I did care for her and so I made it my job to look over her. It hadn't taken her long to figure out that I had always stood guard. While Mary was still naïve to the darkness that came with the power, I thrived in it.
I would have left her be but she needed someone to help her through the manipulative ways of the royals. As I sprinted for the edge of the woods I was silent, I could feel the cool metal of my dagger against my thigh and the ridges in my bow against my back as my chest heaved.
I broke through the tree line, making a beeline for the carriage. I could hear shouts from the guards as I managed to slip my hand through the handle and hoist myself up. My sister jumped as she heard my knock, peering up at me. I gave her a smirk, slightly chuckling as her eyes narrowed into a glare.
I swung my head in the direction of the castle and the people that stood around it before saying loud enough for Mary to hear, "You reckon it's big enough?"
