Kalina was her only lady who spoke both French and English."Twoja Królewska Mość Witam was we Francji(your majesty I welcome you to France)Kalina transferred his words to Polish.
"T-thank y-you I-I'm very pleased t-to be in France"Liliana stumbles out in the best English she could.

Charles walked down the hallway of the castle,he seemed quite annoyed as he found out he would be marrying the young princess of Poland.
A scowl crossed his face , he had never even met this girl and had only ever seen a portrait of her and he wasnt very pleased.
"Charles"he knew that it was his mother calling him "yes mother"bitterness present in his voice,"I know that you don't wanna marry her,but you need a wife of royal blood not noble blood"Catherine explained to her son.

"I'm the king ,mother,i should be allowed to choose who i wed "Charles growled in anger , Catherine looked at her son and sighed"it was in your fathers will before he died"Catherine explained just as a servant walked to Charles and Catherine.
She curtsied and said "your majesty , the princess has arrived".

Liliana looked around the beautiful castle grounds her nerves began to resurface in the pit of her stomach.
A group of people began to appear . Liliana latched onto Kalinas hand in fear and worry.

"Her majesty queen Catherine"Sebastian announced Nina joined Liliana at the front "her majesty Queen Mary of Scots"Amelia and the ladies curtsied after King Charles was announced.
Liliana pulled the hood of her cloak over her head to hide her face fearing he wouldn't be pleased.
Nobody spoke and Liliana held onto Kalinas hand tighter,Prince Henri looked at Liliana and he smiled walking toward the young princess.
"Hello princess , it a pleasure to be in the presence of such a beautiful princess"he said flattering the young princess.
Charles growled walking towards his brother and his "fiancée",before he reached them Liliana let go of her friends hand and pulled her hood down to reveal her platinum blonde hair and her hazel eyes.
