A big and happy family ( part. I)

It was a beautiful summer day at the French court. Mary and Francis were walking through the garden. Their daughter, Christine, was in her chambers, getting ready to meet the prince of Spain.

She was a beautiful young lady. She was 15. She was having her father's blonde curls, and her mother's eyes. Everyone was admiring her. She was smart, graceful and always happy. Besides that, she knew how to hunt.

Later that day, the prince arrived.
"Your Grace"
"Call me Christine, please."
"Then you can call me Carlos. I am glad to meet you, Christine, but I have to admit it, I am a bit nervous."
He smiled.
She smiled back.
"I am nervous too. But everything is going to be fine."
"Now that I am with you, I know it will be."
Christine made her heart eyes and felt that prince Carlos could be more than just an aliance. It would be a coincidance that the prince felt the same way for her? Not at all!

Later that day, Mary went to talk to her daughter, alone.
" Christine, I came to talk to you about something.. Well.. About someone." said Mary.
"Mother, if you came here just to tell me to be careful or to tell me again your story with that Spanish prince, it's too late. Carlos is a good person and I am sure of that. I felt it! And I think I feel something for him.. But I am sure that he is feeling the same way! "
"Christine.. I came to tell you that I am proud of you!"
Mary couldn't keep her tears inside anymore. The warm tears were running down her face.
"Oh...Mother.. Don't cry! I bet you and father met the same way!"
"We did.. It was love at first sign.. I remember.. The day I waked out from my carriage.. Oh, I was so young! He came to me and smiled. I will never forget that smile... But now it's not time for telling the story of my life. It's about you. Go and invite prince Carlos at the ball. "
" I am going right now. Thank you,mogher. I love you! "
Mary kissed Christine on her forehead. Then, Christine got out from the room, ready to talk about with the prince.

Knock - Knock
" Come in! "said Carlos.
" Hello, Carlos! Mm.. I.. I am here.. Umm.. "
" Christine, I don't bite! Breath and then talk. "
He took her hands in his. Christine looked up at him, again with her heart eyes. He smiled.
" Why did you come? "
" I am here to invite you to the ball."
"Do you want me to come?"
"Yes, yes I do."
"Then I'll come. But just if you'll join me."
"It would be my pleasure, Carlos."
Christine left the room. She blushed.

Next day, Christine was preparing for the ball. She put her most beautiful dress on. It was a charming red dress. Also, she let her hair free, with her curls jumping on her shoulders. She was naturally pale, but that night, her face was turning red. She was nervous, but she would never tell that.

She was just looking in the mirror , when someone knocked.
"Come in!"
Carlos entered into the room.
"Christine, I came to see if you didn't change your mind."
He looked at her and smiled.
"I am glad that you didn't. Please, let me help you with the necklace!"
He took the necklace and put it around her neck.
"You are beautiful!"
Christine turned around smiled.
"Thank you."
"Take my hand and let's get ready for the ball."
"It would be my pleasure, Prince Carlos!"

They went to the ball together. They danced, laughed and talked. They were feeling complete with each other. They were falling in love.
