Chapter Six

2 months later:

We are having guests today. He is the prince of Italy. There's rumors that although he is charming in front of a crowd, he is mean and violent to people alone. Like his maids. Or his wife. Well, used to be. She died, she jumped out a window. But people think that he pushed her, i believe that. Everyone, including the king and queen, are nervous about him being here. So tonight we are having a costume party. I'm be an archer. Right now me and my ladies are looking through a chest full of costumes and props. I just found a pretty green dress and a bow. "Well, I found my costume. Did any of you find yours?" I ask. They all nod no. "I'll catch up with you later. I'm going to go for a walk." I say and leave before they can say anything. I go outside to the river where Francis and I had our picnic. Whsn i turn around, a man is here. He is tan, with brown hair and a brown beard. He has dark brown eyes and he is wearing royal clothes. He must be the prince of Italy. "Hello. My name is Simone. Yours?" He asks. "I-I'm Mary." I answer. "Mary, the queen of Scotland and soon to be France. I'm guessing you know who I am." He says. "Well of course. You are the prince of Italy." I say unsteady. "Yes I am. Your very beautiful." He says charmingly. "Thank you Simone. I would pay you a complement but as you know I am a married woman." I say. "Indeed you are. But that doesn't mean you can't save me a dance tonight at the costume party." He says. "I shall save you a dance then. I'll be an archer in the green dress. What shall you be?" I ask. "Nothing. I don't dress up. You shall find me wearing back royal clothes. I will see you tonight." He says and walks away. Oh great. I have to dance with someone who may or may not be a violent crazy person.

I stand with Francis and see Simone walking my way. When he gets to us, he says "May I have this dance?" I nod and take his hand. "Excuse me but...I would like to dance with my wife right now." Francis says. Simone starts squeezing me hand and says "You can have the next dance." Francis sees that pain in my face and says "Fine. One dance." Simone nods and stops squeezing my hand. We start dancing and he pulls me quite close. I try to back away but he holds me there. I say "I hope you don't mind but, i would really like to dance with my husband." "Well to bad. You promises me a dance and I'm getting one." He snaps. I decide I've already had enough of this guy. I whisper and say "Listen to me and listen well, you may be the prince of Italy but i am the queen of a much more powerful country. And i will soon be the queen of one of the most powerful country's of all the lands. You will let me go or I swear to god I WILL TAKE YOU DOWN!" I almost yell the last part. A few people look at me but i just ignore then. I see Francis and he smiles. I guess he heard what I said. Simone lets go of me and I walk to Francis. "Wow. Apparently your a lot stronger than I thought." Francis says. "Yes I am. I do not like told what to do. Especially by him." I say. "How about we go somewhere private." Francis says. "Ugh o would love to but people will notice and come looking. The future king and queen should be at their own parties." I say. Francis nods and says "Tonight then." "Of course." I say.
