A/N: So this first chapter is kind of a preview chapter and contains some of the thoughts for who are going to be my main characters. Except for my OC. She will be introduced later. I hope you enjoy the story…. Happy reading!
These were dark days for France. The king was slowly going utterly mad. The people who lived here had heard rumors but quite a few didn't believe what they heard. Their King, going mad? The whole concept was a foolish one. It was true though; something other royals had started to believe and locked away for future blackmail. It was the queen, not king, who had been ruling the country and almost entirely on her own. The only thing the king was good for these days was sleeping with strange women and making war threats against England. He was also becoming more paranoid and had recently started seeing things, people, who weren't actually there. His ego had rose, thinking god was speaking to him and boasted about that on a regular basis, especially after the whole queen Penelope fiasco.
Strangely enough, it was his sons that stood loyal to their father, the king. Even Sebastian thought his father could be cured and he was forced to marry lady Kenna at his father's rule. Francis, the ever loyal son, had stopped his mother on a few occasions to, what she called "get rid of the problem".
Queen Catherine was scared for the future of France and what her husband's illness would bring for them. War was a constant worry for her these days. She would do anything to see that France would stay safe for her people, even if it meant having her son and his wife, Mary queen of Scots, rule over her country.
Mary was stressed out over the situation happening in Scotland and everything happening in France. There were times when would go on her daily walk when she would think that maybe it was all the stress that was keeping her from having an heir. After all the stress of what has been happening of late had gone, maybe then she would give Frances a child.
