A Frary Tale

Time Flies

It is the day they they leave the newlyweds at Versailles. Bash was appointed by Francis as his deputy. Mary noticed that Elisabeth has been quiet the whole week.

“Elisabeth? Are you alright?” Mary asked. “Yes. It’s just that, can I really do it? Be a wife to a king who is good enough to be my father? Will he treat me right? Or am I going to live a life like my mother?” “I cannot answer that, the first lesson I learned from your mother is don’t wait for a man’s rescue.” “What does that got to do with this?” “Live your life. If it ends up like your parents’ marriage then let it be, find a hobby to distract you. Be the best queen he ever married, if not wife. Although, my Aunt Mary said that he is quite a lover, who knows maybe he’ll be mesmerize by you.” “Thank you Mary. You are really are like a big sister to me.”

Their visitors left that morning. “Mary, let’s go inside. It’s time for your tea.” “Yes, love.”

2 months have passed. Mary is now 4 months pregnant and is allowed to travel. She and Francis went back to French court. Bash and Catherine continued their affair, although Bash still thinks of that week with Kenna. Henry loves to parade Kenna, although he noticed that Catherine doesn’t even cringe at the sight, and he wonders why. Greer and Leith have a very blossoming relationship however, a royal from Portugal came, Lord Tomas, and he seem to have his eyes fixed on Greer. Aylee and Marcus are planning their wedding on June, and since they will be living in France, or wherever their queen is, they decided to have their wedding in Scotland the following year. That way, Mary has already given birth and the baby can already travel. Elisabeth, on the other hand is very anxious. Her wedding is tonight.

“Mary? How was your first time? How did you not feel awkward with every one watching?” Elisabeth asked Mary. “Well, Elisabeth, I’m 4 months pregnant and Francis and I are just 3 months married. So those two are very different experience for me. My first time with Francis was so wonderful, he was gentle with me although I told him to not hold back. Our consummation was different, we already know how to pleasure each other, so it was really hard to pretend that you don’t know anything. I can’t even remember how many times Francis pushed me back to remind me that it wouldn’t be proper for me to be on top of him.” Mary and Elisabeth laughed. “Elisabeth, it will be different. Just when you feel self conscious, just close your eyes and pretend that the observers aren’t there. Hey, you’re lucky, you only have the normal amount of observers which is 20. We got 50.” They laughed again then Elisabeth said. “Thank you Mary. I’m going to miss you once I live in Spain.” They hugged and they began dressing and preparing for the wedding.

The door of the Cathedral opened. And revealed a very stunning Elisabeth. The celebration went on smoothly. The newlyweds had their consummation ritual and Elisabeth thought that Mary was right. Philip is gentle and he is quite a lover.

The next morning Elisabeth and Philip went to their honeymoon and then they’ll proceed to Spain. Catherine couldn’t be more proud of her daughter, she proves to be just like her, although she wishes that she will have a different marriage than hers.

4 months have passed and Mary is already 8 months in pregnancy. “One month to go Francy, and we’re about to meet our child.” “Yes love. I know it’s wrong but I wish our child is a girl. She will be just as headstrong, stubborn as you. She’ll be as graceful, smart and everything wonderful just like you.” “It’s not wrong. Although, I want a boy. Not because that’s want society wants but because, a boy can stay with us forever, girls, they leave. I am queen and I left home for an alliance.” Francis kissed Mary gently. “Whatever happens, we will try to put their needs first. As much as we can.” “As much as we can.”
