The doctor got out from Catherine's chambers with a deep look of sadness in his eyes.
"How is she?" asked Francis, even that he knew.
"She won't gonna make it.. I am extremely sorry, your Majesty."
"Thank you. Thank you for trying."
"It was my pleasure, your Grace."
Francis entered in his mother's chambers. He faked a smile, just because he didn't want to make Catherine sad.
"How are you feeling, mother? Mary and your grandson are going to come over later."
"Francis, maybe I am ill, but I am still knowing the difference beetween reality and fantasy. Mary would never care about how I am feeling." said Catherine with a fake amuzed face.
"Mother... Don't say that.. You know very well how much Mary cares about you."
"I know.. It was a joke.. For the sake of good times.."
She smiled.
She remembered how many "problems" she had with Mary, how many times Mary asked her help, but also how many times they figured out the problems together.
Catherine was pale. Her red lips weren't red anymore. But her personality was still the same. She didn't want anyone to worry about her. She wanted to seem strong. But she wasn't. She was crying inside, but she would never let her tears to be seen.
"Mother, please stay with us. We all need you. Your grandson, Joules.. He is just 8 years old. He still needs his grandma. The France still needs her Queen! Mary still needs you... I still need you.. I am not prepared to rule this country without you!"
"Oh, my dear Francis! If I could stay more.."
Tears were running down her cheeks. She couldn't hide her pain anymore.
"My child.. My only advice is to love.. To love as much as you can, because the love.. Well.. The love, my dear boy, is what keeps us alive."
Francis started to cry. He pulled his mother close to him, just as he used to do when he was little.
*After 2 days *
The royal carriage took Catherine's body. The whole family was in a deep silence.
Francis wasn't crying, but that just because he wanted to be strong for Mary and for Jules. They were crying.
Nobody said anything, until Francis took a step closer to his mother's body and said :
"Good bye.. Mother.."
He kissed the carriage and left. He couldn't keep his tears inside anymore.
That day was the worst day they could ever had.. In that day.. They all lost their mother.
