Long will they REIGN

What does it mean??

Francis's POV

I found Mary's diary. There was writing about her couple days here. She actually loved me, I couldn't return the favour. I didn't care about who would follow. Hell, I'm the next king of France.

"Stay behind and don't even try following me. And yes, I COMMAND YOU" I had obviously screamed at the last part. I needed people away, I then left the castle and went on a ride. The woods and that was it. Well I got on my horse and went there.

"Francis DONT GO IN THERE!" Bash screamed hoping I would hear him. Well I did but kept going. No, I don't know about the dangers but I sure needed to leave the palace for a bit, I didn't care at all.

Bash started sprinting after me. I started to ride faster hoping he would catch me. My horse tripped and fell. There was something there. A body, with its throat slit, it seems as if it was a fresh kill. Maybe an hour or two.

"BASH WHERE ARE YOU!?" I hoped Bash would have been behind me to tell me what the bloody hell happened. He's always warned me but never actually told me what when on here. So my guess is that he had something to do with it.

"Francis get back to the palace. NOW!"

"First tell me what the hell happend!"

"It's a sacrifice. For the Elders, it's required by the Pagans. Now you know why the hell the damn woods aren't safe. Now go back, I'l take care of it"

"Where are you putting the body? We've got to at least alert his family."

"No, that's too risky. If people knew about the woods, people will start leaving, LEAVING FRANCE!"

"Bury it?"

"We are going to throw him in the lake."

"Is that even safe?!"

"Just help me lift the body and stop complaining."

We threw the body into the lake and left. I have never done anything like this before, but, Bash seems used to it. My only question is, how long has he been doing stuff like this.

Bash's POV

I never wanted Francis to know about this, about my mother and I, about the forest which I have warned him multiple times to not go there. I guess he never listens. I'm literally just the King's bastard son, but Francis is the King's son.

As I was chasing after him I noticed a book, I am pretty sure Mary had possessed the same item. If this was Mary's book why does he have it? I really don't know if he can tell but I also love Mary, she isn afraid to get a little dirty. All these other queens are too worried about getting their nails messed up.

Mary's POV

¨Mary do you know how far away we are from Portugal?¨

¨No, I don't know Lola. The only thing I know is that I want to stand up right now.¨

¨My Queen would you like us to stop?" The driver had asked after hearing a part of our conversation.

¨Yes please, thank you very much!¨I had exclaimed whilst full of joy, sitting for hours is really a pain. Frankly, I don't even know if it was a good idea to leave France...

We then took a quick break, thankfully we had some food along with us so we decided to have a little picnic.

¨Was this a good idea?¨

¨Mary please don't say we are turning around.¨

"I don't want to. But, eventually we are going to have to go back and face the fears of King Henry, yes, Im a Queen but Kings do not like it when us Queens walk away from these treaties."

"Mary, if Francis can't simply respect you then leave, Portugal will sooner or later be looking for a Queen to aline with. Tomas is going to be king."

"Well I will surly look into it, but as of right now lets get back on the rode. I need to see what Portugal has to offer..."

Francis's POV

I didn't know what to do, Mary still isn't back and she hasn't been back for a week. My father is going crazy, he never thought Mary of all people would leave this treaty. Even though I said stuff to Bash that night she left, I now know I really didn't mean all of it. I truly love Mary, she has this spirit that no Queen has ever had. Well none that I've encountered. Today we had the soon to be King of Portugal coming over to visit, I myself hope that he could give me some information of where Mary had went. Its not so easy to live without that one person you are meant to be with. I had to get ready for his arrival, I wish Mary would somehow pop out of no where, doubt that would happen though.

I decided to wear a skin tone beige colour with a black dress coat that has gold linings and designs, there is a hint of everything on there. I then decided to go wait in the gardens since I haven't been hear since Mary had left. I really regret even attempting to leave my chambers. If I could have just kept my mouth shut and slept none of this would have happened. Gosh I really hate myself.

The gardens look amazing thought to myself. I saw a wonderful glimpse of the sea, that wonderful ocean where Mary had come from. Where everything happens. Where some wars could start. Where lives end and begin, its all there, and I'm stuck here, worrying about where my future wife is.

Mary's POV

We finally reached Portugal a day later. We happened to be welcomed into the palace with open arms, its a dream over here. No one is trying to kill anyone and on top of this all, there was no Francis to be seen. Wandering around in Portugals court you do hear things, lots of people hated my soon to be union to Francis, some people were even wondering why I was even here, but, the I had heard someone talk about Tomas having to travel to France for a visit. My hope was that Tomas wont tell Francis where I am, after all thats the whole point as to why my friends and I have come here. We needed to escape to horrors of that bloody French court...
