Reign (with a new queen)

Season 1 Ep.3 Part 1

"Faridah! Stop crying you are showing weakness! You think your father died for you so you would show our enemy weakness!"

"I'm sorry, but I miss him." Tears flow out Faridah's eyes.

"I do not care, you are a princess and I am a queen you would not cry at your father funeral tomorrow, okay."

"But.."

"I told you do not cry if you do you will just bring comfort for the enemy; do you want them to be happy?"

Teenage Faridah looked at her mother with a sad face,

"Okay.."

"Good, let the maid pick the outfit tomorrow they would do your hair too, King Henry, Prince Francis, and the bastard son would be here in a few hour, so.."

The queen looked up and down at Faridah, they were sitting in Faridah's room near the window in her room.

"Dress something nice will you."

The queen got up and walk to the door she looked back at her daughter she gave Faridah a frown and a disgusting look. She walked out the room,

"Why does she hate me so much? Does she blame me for father's death? I would blame myself if I was her, I should have drunk the tea, not him."

Faridah gets up and walks to her dresser she open the door, she saw all of the dresses,

"Why can I not wear pants?..... I can, it's just the french king, future king and my future husband."

She looked at her pants that were below the dresses.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Few hours later~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Two carriages showed up at a port with a french ship parked on the shore. The first carriage the queen of Algeria steps out in a purple dress. The second carriage, the princess of Algeria steps out in a purple shirt and black pants and boots. The queen looked over at Faridah and was completely stunned at what Faridah. Before the queen could say anything trumpets starts going off. King Henry came out of the ship first then Francis and Sebastian when they came up to the ladies the trumpets stopped.

"Well, hello long time no see Sofia."

"Same with you Henry."

"Amice... You are always full of surprise are you."

"Well, you are going to get a lot of surprises when I come back to french court."

Faridah said with a big cheesy smile that made everyone laugh but Sofia. Sofia shot Faridah a serious look, Faridah looked at her shoes.

"Faridah let me and Bash ride with you back to your castle," Francis said

"Yes, that is a great idea Francis, I need to talk to you father about some important stuff anyways," Sofia said looking at Bash then at King Henry.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Few days later~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Faridah, Francis, and Bash were in Faridah's room,

"What has been happening in France lately," Faridah asked, she was on her bed lying on Bash, Francis was next to a fireplace.

"Nothing really just the same old same old stuff," Francis said, he looked at Bash and bash looked back at him giving he a look telling him to leave.

"I am hungry so I will go to the kitchen."

"Okay I will help you get there,"

"NO! I know where it is, I remember when we were smaller." Francis said walking out of the room.
Faridah looked at Bash, he gave her a sad and serious look. Faridah gets up and looks at Bash,

"what's wrong?"

"Faridah we need to end this."

"End what?"

"Us, you and me this engagement."

"What?" Faridah gets out of the bed looks at Bash, he sits with his back against her. Her eyes starts to tear up; she wipe them before they fall. Her mother's voice in her head reminds her about crying.

"We need to stop the engagement I can't marry you."

"Why?" her voice cracked,

"....You are a Princess of an African country I can not be the first white King it is.... embarrassing. I feel like I can do better than you."

"......is it about my skin color?"

"....." Bash doesn't answers.

"How I look, the why I talk, or how I do my hair? I can change it all, but I can not change my skin color."

"....."

"Bash"

"...."

"Bash say something please." Faridah walks over to Bash she couldn't hold her tears back anymore, she starts to cry.

"Bash! Please talk to me we can talk it out."

she grabs his hand and sits next to him.

"The engagement is off I talked to Henry he agreed so did your mother." He gets up with tears he is trying to hold back and walks to the door.

"Do you really want this."

"Yes," bash open the door,

"You walk out that door we would never be back together."

Bash looks at Faridah she has her back against him,

"I'm sorry," bash whisper to himself and he walked out the door.
~~~~~~~~~flashback over~~~~~~~~~~~

Faridah is sitting on a soft feather chair. She look out her window.

"I'm going to find out Sebastian."

Faridah said to herself. She felt her tears coming. She took a deep breath and the tension in her chests and throat slowly starts to disappear.
