AU: This is my very first story, so please no hate but you can give me some pointers if you'd like. I know this is short, but I liked where it ended. I wasn't sure if I should continue and add more of my own twist on what I wanted to happen (I do have some ideas) or just to leave this as a one-shot. Let me know in the comment section what you think I should do, and I am also open to any ideas (I will give you credit) I do not own Reign or the characters, I just really love the show.
I turn away from the girl, the prostitute, and look at King Henry. This girl claims Simon was the one who sent word to the English, who ambushed the French companies Francis sent and almost killing Bash. I know what I have to say, though my heart is screaming for me not to.
"If I sign my name to her statement will you release me from my engagement to Francis?" The King nods in approval. "Very well then" I say, and it is taking everything I have to hold back the tears when I look at Francis and see hurt written all over his face. His eyes catch mine for a second, than quickly look away.
All I want is him, but I am a Queen, and I have to do what is best for my country not for my heart. And because I am a Queen I cannot show my weakness, the hurt that I am feeling, for now I am no longer his. I bow my head at the King and Queen and turn away to head back to my chambers before the tears can come.
My friends follow me keeping some distance behind. I compose my face, to the face of a brave Queen, and tell them I would like to be a lone for a little while.
"Mary, we'll figure out something. You can't marry Tomas, your heart is with Francis." Lola says to me
I swallow hard, and smile at my dear friends, "It's alright, I will be fine." It's a lie, and they know it too but I walk away quickening my pace before they can say anything else. I rush to my chambers where I can cry in peace for the man I can no longer have, but will continue to love.
