'He will not give us his men,'
'why not?' Magnolia asked. 'he ought to. My father and he were allies.'

'Then... then we'll go to France, they hate us don' they?'
Magnolia's mother nodded. 'enough to kill any englishmen at sight.'
'We can sign a treaty.' Magnolia explained. 'I understand I was once betrothed to the son of the King, whom is now King.'
'we are not in any positions to offer a cease fire,'
'Yes, but however, I can promise them, if they help me to the crown; I will marry him, so he can be both king of France and England.'
Lynette, shook her head gravely. 'He is already married to a Spaniard.'
Magnolia cursed. 'I will marry his heir, then.'
'King Francis has only daughters.'
'Fucking coward!' she yelled silently. 'the King of holland, he' is to help us, or I swear I will wage war against him myself once I have England.'

'What are we to do now?' Magnolia sounded desperate.
'I don't know, sweet Maggie. I don't know.'
