Mary and her ladies sat in front of the high wooden seats watching the tournament, Y/n sat high in the wooden seats on a throne with her parents,
"Who made the target?"Nostradamus asked.

"Oh who knows, they say it looks like the castle ghost, You know, the girl they blame for every servant who runs off or goes missing."Catherine explained.

Y/n noticed that Nostradamus looked kind of scared either way he had a look on his face that didn't look happy.

Francis and Tomas had a small childish argument, Tomas sounded very arrogant. Mary walked off with her uncle to discuss her engagement when she came back Tomas came to Mary with a flower, Francis looked annoyed.

"Have I offended?"Tomas asked Francis.

"No. Not at all. Please."Francis said whilst waving him off. Y/n knew he was annoyed.

A man came up to Henry and whispered something in his ear causing him to artery his gaze to Simon.

"Father what is it?"Y/n asked, Henry ignored her and stood up as someone came to grab Simon from the stands.
"What's this? Take your hands off me. I'm lord Simon Westbrook. I'm the employ of England."At this point everyone was staring.

"Your a murderer and a spy. You slipped word to your countrymen that French troops were headed to Scotland. Causing a slaughter!"
(A/N bash doesn't get hurt in this story, just pretend he's off riding or something right now.)

"Oh that's absurd. I'm a diplomat, I'm here to help keep the peace."

"Then you failed your mission. So your queen won't mind when I send her your head.Take him away."Henry spoke causing a few gasps.

"Your majesty, you...you're mistaken. Let go of me. I've done no such thing, why would I?You've got the wrong man!"

"Y/n! Y/n!"Catherine shouted.

"Yes mother."

"The Michaelmas banquet... We will be getting a lot of rich, respected guests which means they'll bring their servants."

"Yes, what did you want me to do mother?"

"I want you and your brother to greet them."

"Francis or Bash?"

"How many times do I have to tell you! Bash's presence is disrespectful.!"

"Do you love me?"

"What?"

"Do you love me? Your always bossing me about, other girls spend time with their mothers, have fun with them, we don't, do you really love me?"

Catherine sighed. "Of course I love you y/n,
I'm sorry I don't spend enough time with you, I'm a very busy woman."

"It's ok."

Catherine touched y/n's shoulder softly.
"Can you be waiting for the guests in an hour?"

"Yes mother."

"Francis! Francis"I walked out of the castle, I couldn't find him anywhere, I walked further out and hear the lake/ forest opening.
I saw Francis laying on the floor On a nice mat, I thought he was dead for a second.
