Disclaimer: I don't own Reign.
Richard just had been killed, Catherine was at her room, thinking of Richard, the past few days and thinking of her own future, and Henry? He was lying on his bed trying to keep calm and not to kill somebody. He was angry. Really angry. But why? He just couldn't figure out his own feelings, of he wanted to feel happy because after all he had a reason to divorce Catherine and to make Bash his legal successor but damn it, it was hurt so much. He didn't love Catherine, he just couldn't love her. He wanted to make the people, and Catherine, to believe that he didn't care about his wife anymore, but he did. He had always cared about her, but he just didn't want to admit it to anyone neither himself. Henry still couldn't believe that his wife, Queen of France, would ever have a lover…
As he walked to the dining room he met Francis who was rather confused after the events between his parents.
„Father, can you explain mw the whole situation between you and mother?"
„Umm…what do you mean?"
„I mean all of your action; the beheading, and the fact that you were screaming with mother and the way your guard locked her at her chambers…"
„Can't we just talk about these things after dinner? Your mother will be there too and you can talk with her about Richard."
„But father…"He tried to say something when the King simply left him here alone.
The dinner was quite odd. The King and Queen of France were just sitting in silence. Catherine wanted to talk Henry about everything but he just didn't let her to talk with him, so she was waiting for him to take action. And Henry was just too nervous to talk with Catherine or anybody else, he hadn't decided yet what to do after these events. He just wanted to eat his meal and forget all about that day. But he knew that he couldn't wait long, by dinner time everybody was speaking of the lover of the Queen…
After he had finished his meal, without a word he left the others and went to his chambers for some peace. As he stepped into his bedroom he saw a naked Diane lying and smiling in his bed. God she was really beautiful, and he really needed some pleasure now, so he walked to her , gave her a long kiss with desire and tried to forget about his sweet Catherine as he had done for so many times.
When Catherine finished her dinner she said to the guard, who was with her by the order of Henry, that she needed to talk with the King about their children, but she just wanted to see Henry, to speak with him about them, Richard. So the guard accompanied Catherine to the King's chambers. As they arrived to the door she heard a voice. A woman's voice that she had heard before from the King's chambers. It was Diane, and Catherine knew that what these two were doing in Henry's room…
So that is the end of the first chapter, I hope that you will like it! And it will be absolutely Cathry I just needed Diane to appear but she will not stay too long.
