Timeless loves (melwood X frary)

Chapter 11

Bash was going into his rooms, to grab some materials in order to do some things that had to be done that day, as soon as the small reunion with Catherine ended, thinking. That whole situation was strange.  Francis hadn't mentioned in any moment that he would be travelling to  Paris and, even if the decision was sudden, the fact that Mary had gone with his brother and best friend, intrigued him. Everyone knew that the royal couple didn't get along and they did everything to spend the least time together as possible, so them going into a trip together? It didn't make any sense. Something was wrong. He knew it. He walked lost in his thoughts, that where stopped when Kenna, showed by his side, calling his attention.

"Hey!" - Kenna whispered, smiling when she saw the expression Bash had on his face.

 "Kenna, what do you want? - he said, in a louder. Before he could continue, Kenna placed her hand on his mouth, asking him to speak lower. "What is it?" he asked whispering 

"Is there any place where we can talk in private? It's very important"- Bash rised his eyebrow, curious about that sudden interest that Kenna had in talking with him

It was always hard to Bash to deal with Kenna, specially when he had feelings for her. For that reason he had always kept his distance from her, and she seemed to be thankful for his distance, so it was unexpected to him that she wanted to talk.

"It's about what?"

 "Bash, it's important. Believe in me." - Before  Bash  could say something, they were interrupted by Catherine, that coughed to call their attention.

"Am I interrupting something? I hope you know that bed issues should be solved at night" the Queen said.

"We don't..."-  before Kenna continued, Bash interrumpted her.

"I'm sorry, your majesty. It won't happen again" 

"Good, I don't want any rumors in the cast about  my husband's bastard being with one of the ladies of my future daughter in law, and Queen of Scotland" Catherine replied, leaving them alone.

Kenna looked at Bash clearly upset, because now the Queen thought they were  a couple. And she didn't want that, there was already too many rumors about her and too many men, she didn't need any more rumours to spread. Bash grabbed her hand, and took her to his room where they could talk without being interrupted.

"Why did you spoke like we were a couple or had something? My reputation will go down the hill, that woman can do so many things"

"Because I don't want Catherine to feel like we are suspicious  of something. And if you came to me I believe it's because you know something. So, tell me, did Mary told you anything?"
" No, and that's why I'm thinking all of this is strange. She never said anything to me and she tells me everything. Even if she had to leave suddenlym she would ask me to prepare her things, or she would tell me that she would be going somewhere and that I would be free. Besides her things are on the same place they were  yesterday. I've come to ask you if Francis had said something to you."

 "No, he said nothing. Yesterday, we were taking care of some things when a maid came in, asking for him, saying Mary ordered it" 

"Wait... hold on, by Mary's order? "– Kenna asked.

"Yes."

"No, no. All the orders Mary gives go trough me. And Francis things...are on his room?" 

"I don't know, but now it's impossible to confirm, since there's no reason to go into his room since he's not there."

"We need to check if his things are there or not, because if they are..." 

"Because if they are something happened and the Queen doesn't want us to know. If I can check that  Francis didn't come back to his room and that his things are still there, something very wrong happened" Bash concluded.

"We need to search. I have a bad feeling, Bash"- Kenna confessed.

"Yes, me too" Bash said
