AN: I was kind of lonely one day cus none of my friends watch reign and I discovered this wonderful thing called fan fiction. I've pretty much read all that have interested me and I decided why not write my own. So here we are. The story takes place after episode six season one. I will stray from what has happened in the show a little but I will keep it in mind. I will make this a multi-chapter thing because come on with how this story is going to go it would be foolish of me not to. Anyway I hope you have a box of tissues ready and are in a comfy spot and have nothing to do today because here is Royale In Love. Enjoy.

Mary POV

Olivia has been at court for at least two weeks and Francis is only growing more and more close to her and loving me less. I worry that he will not love me when it is time for us to wed and take Olivia as his mistress and think of me as only a duty like Henry and Catherines' marriage. But I must continue on and serve the alliance. Henery has just left with bash and a few hundred men to settle some unrest in a village. I have been informed that Count Vincent of Italy will be arriving this afternoon and queen Catherine, Francis and I must greet him and show him our kindness. I am hoping that this will give Francis and I an excuse to actually talk to each other. Mabey he will spend less time with Olivia and more time with me even if it is in the company of the count.

I am dressed in a black dress with beads and jewels decorating my chest that shows off the pale skin on my sholders and my slender neck but from the elbows down are covered by the same black material ready to great the count when something inside me tells me to go and speak with Francis. I walk hastily tweard his chambers not even bothering to knock when I walk in. He is playing with his youngest brother Charles. They are sword fighting with these strange objects called forks. Aperently we are supposed to use them when we are dining so we do not look like animals. Charels leavs us and it is just the two of us. Not one bothering to say a word. Just when Francis is about to leave to do god knows what I say something." Do you love me?'' There is a sheer pain in my voice like it takes everything in me to not cry which it does. He looks at me with the same pain I had in my voice but there is more confusion than pain. " Mary", he starts. I cut him off." Answer me Francis. Do you love me? Or am I just some duty, some chore for you to handle all well juggling your mistress?" I have to work hard to hold back the tears that have started to pool a in my eyes. Francis is staring at me bleatingly as if he has no idea what I am talking about. He doesn't say anything. The room is dead silent. " Well you don't have to worry about me ruining your time with you mistress. We may be joined one day by name but we may not be joined by love as I am purely just some chore for you to do." My voice is cold hiding my pain and frustration from him. I leave quickly before he can stop me or contradict my statement.

I return to my chambers and my ladies are all there waiting for me. Greer see that I am about to cry and runs up to me. She welcomes me in her warm embrace and guides me to a nearby chair. As my ladies try to comfort me, the tears I had been trying so hard to conceal start running down my face like a wild river. We sit like this not one of us bothering to say a word. When the tears have come to a stop Alee speaks up, breaking the silence. " Mary what happened? Was it Francis? If it was I swear I will kill him" she spoke with a fierceness that could even scare lions. " no he didn't do anything. That's more of the problem. I went to his chambers and asked him if he loved me" ,I could feel the tears coming back to their origional place on my cheaks," he didn't respond so isked him if he thought that I was some chore that he had to take care of and he still didn't respond. I told him that I wouldn't interfere anymore with what he chose to do and that I didn't care if he spant all of his time in the world with Olivia" I crindged at saying the name of someone who was causing me so much pain. The girls just sat there in awe taking in what I had just told them. Suddenly Kenna gets up and storms out the door , I already know what she is going to do and I don't stop her. He diserves everything she is going to give him. " Mary it pains me to see the pain he has caused you" Greere starts" but we need to get you ready for when the count arrives." I always enjoyed how she would change the topic of whatever we were talking about to something more enjoyable and aprochable, I needed that sometimes.

They fix my outward appearance so I am more presentable. Just as I am about to leave to great the Count Kenna storms back in with even more anger in her eyes that when she left. " Kenna its almost time for Mary to greet the count with Catherin and Francis" Lola is trying to calm her down as she is about to let the anger that has been building up in her explode. She looks over at me before escorting me with the rest of my ladies in waiting to the a small room. Catherine and Francis are already there waiting. Their eyes turn to me as I enter. I stand next to Francis, it takes everything in me to not be repulsed by just standing next to him. He goes to hold my hand but I pull away joining both of my hands in frount of my chest, twideling with my fingers and jewelry. The count walks in and greets me by bowing and kissing my ring that holds the scotish crest. We begin with friendly conversation as I am trying to rid the room of a deadly tention. Then one of his men comes in and tells him something that pleases him greatly. He tells us that him and his men have taken over the castel and it is now under his protection. " Mary I am so sorry that you have to endure this ass none of this is your doing. I do hope that you can forgive me." His voice is sly but is the slightest bit apologenic. Then Catheringe, Francis, And the count leave the room to nogotiate our freedome. I leave our small room and head to my chambers to tell my ladies of what I have just learned and to pray that all goes well.

After what felt like hours I go to see Catherine to see how negotiations went. I walk in and she is sitting at he desk sorting through what looks like a collection of bottles with different liquids and ointments in each of them. " How did negotiations go? Are we free?" my statement is so blunt that it surprises her to see my concern. " Francis, he gave himself up. To save you. " her voice is cold, as if she resents me which she probably dose. Before she can say anything more I run out of her room and back to my chambers for I do not wish for her to see me cry. I burst into my room and quickly start to think of a plan to get Francis and everyone in the castel out. Though Francis may not love me I still love him I could not live with myself knowing I did not do everything in my power to see him safe and free. Then I remember the passageways. They surely could have a safe way out. I go over to the panel the hides the entrence to the one leading to my room. " clarrisa? Clarisa there are bad men in the castle. I need you to mark a safe path for me to get people safely out. '' I set down the piece of chalk I had in my hands and make my way out to go and tell Catherine of my plan.

I barge into her chambers and she is still taking note of her potions just like she was earlier. I tell her of my plan and she sccofs telling my how rediculuse they are. But then she says that they will fail unless she adds to them. I hurry out of her chaimbers to Francises chambers. His chambers are havily garded probably to prevent him from escaping. They allow me to enter. Francis looks as if I was the last person he expected to see tonight. I tell him of our plan and what he is supposed to do. He is silent for a few minnets." Mary, I am sorry for all of the foolish ways I have tried to manage things. I have been thinking about what you said earlier and I have realized that you are not a chore for me to do. I enjoy spending time with you. I smile everyday knowing that I get to see your bright smiling face every morning." I can tell that his words are sincere but I don't know if he is doing this out of truth or because he wants us to be on good tearms for when we marry. I refuse to believe that he is sincer. As much as it pains me to say I say what's on my mind." Are you sure that that smile is not from waking up naked next to Olivia this morning? And are you saying this because of what I said to you or because of what kenna said you or because you want us to be on good tearms for when we marry?" my voice is stearn and cold. I turn to leave but before I can he grabs my arm. " I mean it Mary. I love you and you make marrying you so much more that a chore. You make is a plesure. I have been selfish in thinking that it would be best if I told myself not to love you and refusing to make any effort in making this more than a job. I understand if you choose to not listen to what I have told you but can you atleast consider my words. Mary I love you and it pains me to see that I have cost you so much pain. I promes you the minnet I get out of here I will come for you. I will save you from the monster that lurks downstairs." His voice is filled with compassion and promes that makes me melt inside. I can't show him how he touches my heart with the promesses he makes. " you can't come for me they will kill you, and I can't live with myself knowing that I was the cause of your death". My plans for making it seem as though I was still upset with him failed. He looked up at we with desperation and hope. I could immediately tell that his hope for us was growing strong and that any love for Olivia was dying a slow and painful death. I hug him before making my way out of his chambers to get ready for the feast.

I wear a red gown with a felt/lace top and red corset and a deep red skirt that has wrinkles. The dress shows off all of my curves and I know that all of the me will be staring at me not because I am a queen but because of my dress and how much of my figure it shows off. I arrive at the feast and to my surprise none of the men even glance at me as I take my seat beside Count Vincent. Catherine opens up a chest full of gold and all of the men rush over to it hoping to get their share. We begin the meal and I count as the minnets slowly and dramaticly go by. Finaly I address the count. I tell him that I need to retire to my chambers for a moment as my corset is far to tight. He refuses me to leav saying that I look perfectly fine and that I could be lying and leav to go and save Francis. So I sit there is agony. Francis is probably worrying about me I wonder if Olivia is still waiting for me. I ask the Count one last time. I sound as if I am beging and I know a queen should never beg if it is the one thing I have learned from Catherine. Finaly he allows me to leav hearing the pain in my voice. My ladies and I start to get up when Catherine stands up and starts screaming. She asks him all of these questions and then offers my ladies and me to him and his men. The count walks over to me he rubs my face with his dirty hands before him and his men rip apart my ladies and I. he lays me down on the table we were just dining on, but before he can do anything his men start to blead through any open space on their face. And they all pass out. While he is distracted watching his me fall to the floor one by one, I stab him in the throat with a fork. Blood comes rushing out of the now open wound I had just created and his mouth fills up with the liquid matching my dress. I quickly get up and rush to the other side of the room as my other ladies comfort Kenna who was viciously beaten. Then Francis comes barging in carrying a sword. He cuts the counts hand clean off with just one swing of his mighty wepin. He rushes over to me and hugs me with both relief that I am okay and sorrow for hurting me. I couldn't help but melt at his touch. Since Olivia had arrived I haven't allowed him to touch me. And I can tell he had missed the sensation he got from hugging me as I felt something hard press against my womanhood. He pulls away to escort Kenna to see Nostradamus.

Later that evening I visited Francis in his chambers. I don't care that I am in my bed wear as we are to be wed someday and he was bound to see me in it with all of the roaming and barging into rooms he does. I walk in and immediately start to question him about his questions. He interrupts me with a kiss. When he pulls away for air I continue but I am shortly interrupted again by another kiss even more passionate than the last. He carries me to the bed and lies me down. I know what he is about to do and I don't want him to stop. At first it hurts like someone is stabing me with a wooden object but the the pain is subsided and I can only fear pleasure as he plunges deeper and deeper into me. I moan louder and louder with each thrust in to me. I feel as though I am on the edge, and so is he. We both relese the built up tention at the same time. Our racing breaths in sync, he falls next to me just as exausted as I am. I fall asleep in his arms as if I do so every night. I dream of our life together in the future. It all starts out well but then my happieness is interrupted. Olivia, comes back and francis must choses between me and her. I am woken up by Francises jentel rubbing on my arms as he rubs jentell circles that run from my shoulder to the small of my back.
