Disclaimer: I do not own Reign

Sorry I had an uploading problem but, I finally got the story up.


I am a Queen

My life is dedicated to my Kingdom

I have always put her above all else

Even my heart

When I saw him everything changed

He was unlike every other guy

He was not a King, an Heir or of Noble birth

He was only but, a Bastard child

Of no worth to anyone

I found him different from other men

But, I was meant to marry someone else

His brother

I tricked myself into believing I loved Francis

(I never really did)

It was always him

He could love me and put me above all else

Francis had his Kingdom to think of

When I was given the chance to marry him I took it

He believed I didn't love him

But, I always did

He was given the chance to be the Heir to France

He never wanted that

Only my heart

(Though I didn't know if i could ever fully give it to him)

When Francis was declared safe for me to wed and I was given the choice between the two

I picked Francis over him

Only because Francis was the safe choice

I am a Queen so I must put my country first

Even if it means breaking my own heart

He promises me everything and I know he would give me just that

Francis promises me nothing that is true

Every single one is empty and meaningless

So I will wait for Bash but, I could never ask Bash to wait for me Mary Queen of Scots

I am a Queen and I have others to think of

Matters of the heart do not apply to Royalty

We marry not for love but, for the good of others

That is why I do not say I love him

I want him to move on and not fight for me

I chose Francis for my Country

I wish I could chose Bash out of love

Now more than ever I wish that I Mary Queen of Scots was just a girl and the Kings Bastard son was just a boy

Love and Power live with each other but, rarely both are ever found together

So I marry Francis for Power and I tell Bash I don't Love him because Love and Power never really mix and I Love Bash
