Margaret Clitherow dreads the day she will be married off to some nobleman from France. She dreams of running away and never looking back, but, as the daughter of English nobility, she knows that will never be allowed. She knows that she must do it for her long-passed mother, who always wanted the best for her. But if this man expects some quiet, obedient lady, he has another thing coming. Little does she know her betrothed, Nathaniel Marcheford, isn't what she expects either.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

"You can call me Nathaniel if you would like." 

"Oh, thank you." We fall silent again. I go back to playing with my hem.

"Do you mind if I call you Margaret?"

"No, not at all."

 A pause.

"Well Margaret, what do you enjoy doing?"

"For?"

"For your own pleasure of course."

An other worldly girl is reincarnated as Queen Estella de Royalis, the villainess of a novel that is killed by her own husband. Having no other choice, she strives to save herself from that fate. However, the novel she read is not the reality she believed. ______ I tried on another, a red one this time. I twirl in its large skirt. "This one matches your eyes," I say as I spin. "This one too." I stop, putting my hands on my hips. "Are you going to order all of them?" "If I want to, yes, I will." He doesn't budge. I sigh, sitting next to him. "You know that you don't have to do this. I can go buy my own dresses." "I know, but I want to see you wear dresses that I chose. Besides, is it so wrong to want to spend time with you?" ______ Note: This is entirely my work. I want to see if I'm able to write something without a plot set up for me. I hope you like it!

"My Love, I apologise and beg for your pardon a thousand of times" I rubbed her beautiful strong current hair. Lillian turned her head and saw the healer rubbing a heat stone on pale skin, "Just set me free Theo" she whispered before her eyes closed. "I can't Lillian, I am selfish with you" I kissed her head thousands of times, she was the women I wanted to marry, she was the women to be the mother of my child. "Your Majesty, she needs a lot of resting, shall we take her upstairs?" The healer asks. "Yes, place her in my chambers- make sure your Queen knows nothing of this" I commanded when two guards lifted up her body and walked up the stairs. "You love her your majesty?" The healer asks. "I do" I admitted. "Don't mind me saying your Majesty, but she is clearly in pain. Why won't you just let her live her life?" he looks at me. "Because she mine and only mine, no other man will see her bare or love her like I do." I growled red hot anger burning through my head if I thought of my beauty in the arms of another man. ---- Highest ranks - #24 in Historical Fiction- 13/06/2016 #14 in Historical Fiction- 13/07/2016 #13 In Historical Fiction- 10/04/2017 Bad spelling and Grammer, please don't hate I will improve in time.
