A Frary Tale

Messing Up

Francis and Mary were sleeping in Mary’s bed when they heard a knock. Mary was startled as she was wearing Francis’ shirt. She quickly removed it and changed to her night gown. “Mary? Are you still up. I need to talk to you” Catherine said from the outside. “Francis, wake up” “What?” “Your mother is outside and wants to talk to me.” What!" He quickly wore his pants and slippers and grabbed his shirt, gave Mary a kiss then went straight to the passage. Mary went to the door and opened it for Catherine. “You move a lot in your sleep.” “Yes it’s kinda hot at night.” She said that as to she wouldn’t ask why her bed was a little damp. “What is it you needed to speak to me at this hour?” “It’s Olivia. I want her gone.” “Oh I want her gone too, but it’s as if King Henry went fond of her. Even Kenna opened her dilemmas to me the other day.” “Well, I don’t mind that Kenna, she’s not dangerous, I believe she’s just naive. But I don’t like Olivia. Francis told me about her stay with your cousin, she should be gone. She’s gonna rob the French court of its finances.” “Can you wait a little longer? I have a plan.” “Sure. If you need help, you now my dear Mary where to find me. Good night.” “Good night.”

Catherine then went to Francis’ chamber. “Please tell the dauphin I want to talk to him.” And so the pager did and she entered. “Son, look after Mary, she has a plan on how we can take Olivia out of this court and I just needed her to be safe.” “Of course mother. Always.” Then Catherine smelled something. “You smell different. You smell like Mary. Lavender oil?” “Uhm.. Well.. I hugged her after she took a bath before I went to bed maybe her sent got stuck to my shirt. I actually don’t mind, I feel like I’m with her.” Catherine nodded and Francis sighed knowing that his mother bought it.

The next morning Mary went to Kenna. “Good morning Kenna.” “Good morning Mary. What brings you here?” “I’d like to talk to you about Olivia, even Catherine wants her gone.” “Good. Maybe she could poison her.” “Maybe. But I want her here gone and I want King Henry to do it.” Mary said and Kenna’s eyes widened. “That’s impossible.” Kenna said. “We’ll make it possible.” “How?” “I asked Marcus to ask one of my spies to follow Olivia, and they found out something. She really is a whore. She sleeps with anyone. By anyone I mean anyone. The stable boy, the guard stationed in her room, the kitchen boy and mind you the other day she did it with the Ambassador of Spain.” “Oh. Well with that King Henry will definitely send her away. With nothing!” “Yes that’s why I need your help. I need you to  bring King Henry to Olivia’s chamber while she’s screwing another man.” “Well. I know exactly what to do.” Kenna smiled.

That night, Mary saw Olivia enter her chamber with an altar boy. She went to Kenna and said that they should execute their plan now.

Kenna knocked on King Henry’s chamber. “King Henry. Lady Kenna is here.” The pager said. “Let her in.”  “Good evening Your grace.” “Kenna, we’re in private. Just Henry.” “Oh right. Well I thought you don’t want me anymore.” “Oh that’s not possible deary” Henry said while kissing her bear shoulder. “But you’re spending more time with Olivia.” “Oh Deary” “She’s stealing all your time for me. And I miss you.” “What do you want? His Father is doing business here. She can’t leave yet.” He said. Then Kenna winked at him saying. “Come. Let’s go to her, maybe we can pleasure you at the same time.” Henry’s eyes widened and they hurried to Olivia’s chamber.

King Henry was about to knock when Kenna stopped him. “Let’s surprise her.” King Henry opened the door and his eyes can’t believe what he’s seeing. Olivia on top of the altar boy straddling him then bouncing up and down while the altar boy was kneading her breasts. “Olivia!” King Henry yelled. “Henry, I can explain.” Olivia plead. “Don’t bother. Kenna have a carriage arranged for this slut to take her to her father’s house in Italy.” Kenna exits the room.

“Please I don’t wanna leave. I love you!” “Oh shut up! You love me? Then listen to this. I don’t do love. Not anymore! And you don’t love me. You just want certainty. Please tell your father when you get home that after this year’s contract, the deal is off!” King Henry stormed out and looked for Kenna.

Mary went to Catherine’s room. “Oh Mary! Thank you! I didn’t know how you knew but thank you for saving our gold.” “Catherine. You may be not my birth mother but you raised me. Everything I know on how to survive in court, I learned it from you. You may not know this but I do treat you as my mother. You made sure I’m fed, clothed, well. You are my mother and I will do anything to prove to you that I can be your daughter.” Tears form in Catherine’s eyes. “You don’t have to prove anything, that day in the port when Francis hugged you, I already knew that you’re my daughter.” Tears fell from their eyes and they hugged. It’s a wonderful mother-daughter scene interrupted by Francis. "Oh sorry to interrupt, but Mary, there’s a whole troop of English soldiers with General Aigle and who I believe is an English representative.

Mary was stunned and they all went to the grand hall.
