CHAPTER 8

                                                                                                     ***

Francis was doing what he had to do. He was worried to the problems and his job to maintain everything in order when he realizes that hadn't seen Mary today. But he bumps up in Lola and gave her a small smile.

- You've seen Mary? – He asks but when she moves away her face, he knew that something really wrong had happened. – Where's Mary?

- Mary's gone. She leaved and if I were you I would quit for searching for her. – Lola says looking at Francis eyes, very sharply because Aylee death still hurt her.

- Lola, where did Mary go? – Francis asks grabbing her arm.

- Far away, for a place you will never found her. – She responds.

- I will never quit of looking for her even if that took me years to find her! With or without your help. – He guarantees walking way leaving her in the corridor.

He walks directly to his brother chambers. And when he saw Bash look at him sharply in his eyes.

- You know where Mary is? - He asks going right to the question.

- I suppose in her chambers or in the gardens.

- So you don't know? – He asks suspicious. Francis had conscience the relationships of them had developed.

- What the hell are you talking about? – Bash asks doesn't understand a damn thing of that talk.

- Mary's gone, Bash. She leaved the castle. – He reveals.

- Why? Why she would do that?

- I don't know and it's killing me! – Francis says upset and revolted with that situation. Even with all of they been through Bash hugged his little brother.

- We will find her. – Bash says comforting him. Francis move away seeing that his brother didn't deserve at all the way he has been treating him .

- Thank you, Bash. And I think I owe an apology too.

- You don't... Forget about it, you had your motives.

Scotland! Mary hasn't there since was six. And she felt really good in her home place but she already missed everyone, especially Francis. And there she was in the convent hugging every single nun and her friends that grew so quickly some were more tall than her.

- I miss you! All of you! – She adds smiling.

- Why do you come back, Mary? – Claire asks her.

- Because of love, because of friendship. – She says not wanting to remember what she left behind.

The nuns guide her to her old room. She puts the few things that she packed above her bed. She couldn't believe that she was there, that she left behind an alliance that she really need and the man that she loves... her friends. Her mother will never forgive what she made and if she knew where Mary was would sent her away. But Mary was the queen and was her that made the decisions.
