A Frary Tale

Happy with Regrets

Andrew is now 5 months and ready to travel. Mary amd Francis is preparing for their journey to France. Elizabeth has stabilized her regency and now even the privy council finds her fit for the job.

Aylee also is ready to travel with her daughter Maya who is 6 months now. Aylee and Mary are both excited to see Kenna who had a son named John. John was claimed immediately a week after birth by King Henry. Kenna knows that he won’t be king but she can’t help but smile at the idea that she is already a mother to a six month old baby.

Henry’s condition has worsened. Before there were no other signs besides that the liquid he releases is dark, now he always feels tired and he keeps forgetting things. So he is about to do the one thing he never thought he would. “Catherine. I need to talk to you.” “What is it?” “I know that you love ruling and you love being queen. But would you settle to be queen mother instead. Guide our children to become the best king and queen they could be.” “What are you talking about. You are not yet dying. Please Henry fight.” Tears fell to Catherine’s eyes. Henry wiped away the tears and said. “I am not giving up on living. I will fight this poison and we will see to it that the person who did this will be punished. But I am not fit to rule anymore.” Henry’s voice broke and he started to sob. “You my husband just shown me that you are not just a king but a real king. No ruler would ever dream of doing this for the sake of its country. Don’t worry. Francis will do well.” Henry kissed Catherine. Just a peck at first until they deepen it. They reached their bed and noticed that they already undressed each other. Catherine took charge and lead Henry to lie down. She straddled him and inserted Henry to her wanting hole. Henry was shocked, never did Catherine did this to him as Catherine bounce up and down Henry was in pure pleasure. They had their release and kissed each other passionately. “I love you Catherine but..” “I know Henry. I’ll stay here and go live with Kenna and your son.” “How did you know?” “Because I know you Henry. You may love me but you love her more. That is why I don’t hate her. I hated Diane because I know that you love me more but you still choose to run to her and be with her.” “Oh Catherine. I am so sorry.” “I am too.” It was then silent until Catherine spoke. “When do you plan on announcing?” “In the gala of Francis and Mary’s return.” “Alright. Put your clothes on. You might catch a cold.” “Catherine. Can I stay here with you.” “Of course. I’ll just ask for your medication.” Henry smiled at how caring Catherine could be and felt stupid for not acknowledging her all those years. He felt happy yet full of regrets.
