My hands are shaking... Ive been waiting for this moment for years but I never actual imagined what would happen when I arrive.
I look outside, I can see French Court, at least 100 people standing outside waiting for the arrival of my carriage.
Come on Mary, you're a Queen, do what your born to do.
My carriage comes to a stop.
Just breath, and show them all what your made of...
My step-man opens the door, I secure my crown on my head, then take a step out side, there is a moment of silence, the crowd deciding whether I am up to the standards of what they expected, I embrace the silence for a moment, then I lock eye contact with my Ladies, I look back to the crowd and smile, they all cheer and chant:
"The Queen of Scotland has arrived!"
My ladies gather behind me all giving me reassuring smirks.
I take another moment as I look for the Royal family, but it wasn't hard at all, I see a group of people straight ahead of me dressed in luxurious fur coats and gold chains, I see the King and Queen, Henry and Catherine, a woman beside the King, I believe she is Diane de Poitiers, the King's mistress, I recognise them from when I was young, they have not changed a bit. Beside them is 2 boys, one must be Francis and one must be Sebastian.
The King and Queen approach me, warmly yet professionally, without a word they shake my hand, then a simple:
"Welcome to French Court."
