Chapter 10: Together we're golden

Bash woke up on Kenna's chamber. She was gone. He checked on the nursery but according to the nanny she had already visit her son. She was not with everyone taking breakfast. Mary told him she was with Georges since first light.

Bash decided to not insist, if Kenna wanted to see him she will be there. So he focused himself on the mission, Charles ordered. Interrogating the prisoner of the siege.

He and other guards entered the dungeons, where two men where about to be torture.

"What is your name?" Bash asked to the first man.

"Edward."

"Then Edward, now you have to tell me what was your mission."

"I was paid by the Queen of England, me and others, we had to execute the King of France and the Royal family."

Bash was surprised, Mary told him the royal family of Imereti was the first target, so why killing the King of France. The French and the England are enemies, but no one had never made move of murder.

"Your Queen ordered you to eliminate the Valois bloodline, in what aim? She was already the Queen of England and tried to get the throne of Scotland."

"It's for her future marriage, a new alliance which can guarantee the future of England, and destroy the Queen of Scots."

"A marriage? With who?"

"Shut up Edward! The Queen will cut your tongue!" the other prisoners shouted.

Bash beat the interrupter.

"Answer! On behalf of the King!" Bash cried.

"I want to talk to your King, I will only answer to him."

Bash sighed and turned his side to the other guards.

"Bring the prisoner in an other cell as for the two others, killed them."

Mary and the royal family of France were taking their dinner, talking about the recent events, trying to find solution,that save themselves of an other siege.

Bash and two others guards were coming into the room. Charles dismissed his little brothers and sister and Princess Claude.

"Please talk, brother." Charles allowed.

"I talked to the prisoner, one of them is willing to giving answers."

"What did he say?"

"He talked about the plan."

"What was it?" Catherine asked

"Murdering the King of France and all the Valois bloodline."

Mary's face became white as sheet.

"Nothing about the Imereti family are you certain?" She asked anxiously.

"Yes, I am."

"England wants to destroy the realm of France, I don't understand, why?"

"The man talked about a new alliance for England, a possible marriage for the Queen."

Mary looked at Catherine in the eyes, her worry was clearly obvious now.

"With who?" The king asked.

"I don't know, he just want to talk to you."

Charles looked at his mother and Catherine nodded.

"Fine, bring me to him!"

Bash led the King of France into the dungeon. The prisoner was confining in an independent cell. When they arrived, they noticed four guards on the ground. Bash got close to them. They were dead, all of them.

"The prisoner!" Bash panicked

Charles and him entered to the cell in a hurry. The prisoner was inside, but dead too, there was blood on his neck.

Charles throw a worried look to his brother and deputy. Someone killed the man, someone inside the castle, to prevent him to speak. It meant there was a traitor among them, the same man who had surely helped the others to came into the castle. They had to find him by all cost.

Claude was sitting in the infirmary, a book in her hand, waiting for Leith to wake up. According to Nostradamus the man will be okay thanks to Kenna's nanny action. Once her love one will wake up she will thank the girl and offered her a place as her lady-in-waiting, but also thank Lady Kenna for not letting Leith die.

Leith made a move and opened his eyes slowly.

"I wasn't dreaming, you are really here." The guard said with a shining smile.

"I am, and you are alive."

Leith tried to set back up right, but the pain stopped him.

"Please don't move" Claude begged. "Nostradamus said you need to rest."

Claude stroke Leith's cheek and put a peck on them.

"Thank you for saving my life, during the siege."

"You could have been killed."

"I know you would save me." She said before kissing on the lips.

Claude tighten her embrace and starting to come under Leith's body.

"Ouch." Leith complained

Claude shift herself brutally worried to cause more pain to her lover.

"I'm so sorry."

Leith laughed.

"It's okay, I quite enjoyed it."

"You're a fool."

The couple laughed like teenager, so loud that they didn't saw someone coming to the room they were.

"I..."

Claude turned herself to see the intruder.

"Lady Greer" Claude said a bit ashamed. It was exactly what Leith and her didn't want to come. Kenna was already aware and now Greer, who was Leith ex-girlfriend.

"I'm sorry, I should go."

Greer left in a haste. Claude looked at her lover.

"Are you alright?" She asked worried for his answer.

"Why wouldn't I?"

"I don't know. Maybe because your ex-madam girlfriend just saw us as love birds, and you don't want to hurt her because of the feelings you still have for her."

"All the feeling I had for Greer are long ago gone. You don't have to be worry, Claude. You are the only one I have feeling for."

Mary was ready to go to bed, her maid Henriette had helped her to get ready. She was wearing a beautiful white silk nightgown.

She entered on her bed. And felt a kicking. She smiled her little James will definitely be a strong boy. She was so sure it will be a boy, but a girl will be okay too, because she will shared Francis features and for Mary that was all matter.

She fall asleep quickly tired by her trying day. And that night she dreamed about the future Francis and her hope they'll have.

Mary was doing her daughter's hair. The girls had brown-haired as long as her mother's, but unlike her, they were curly like her father. She was Mary all along but inherit of her father's curls and eyes, two beautiful blue one.

"Mother, when I'll get ready could I go with my cousin Alexander and John, Aunt Kenna and Aunt Lola bought them horses. Uncle Bash is teaching them in the garden, and I thought I could too."

"Of course Anne, darling." Francis answered when he entered the room.

"Francis, Anne has a lesson today, your private tutor is coming my love."

"But geography, and other subjects he teach are so boring, I prefers going outdoors with my siblings and cousins."

"She reminds me someone" Francis remarked with a laugh pointing Mary with his eyes.

"This lessons are important Anne." Mary pursued deciding to ignore her husband comments. "You will be Queen of Scotland someday and you are Princess of France and Scotland, you need a great education, a ladylike one."

"But that's not fair, James is so lucky to be a boy." Anne finished before left the room very upset.

Mary sighed and sat on the chair. Francis kissed her on the forehead.

"Don't worry my love, Anne is a wild spirit, but she is well aware of her duty. Scotland will be reign by an other great Queen, I'm sure of that."

"I love you Francis."

"Me too. You are the best mother our children can dreamed of, and you are the best wife who could exist." They shared a passionate kiss. "I'm going to check on Henriette now."

Mary got up and took his hand and said stroking his cheek

"No, don't she's okay, I just fed her. She is sleeping on her crib." They kissed a second time. " Stay with me."

"Always."

Mary woke up with a smile on her face. She looked around, the room was dark, it wasn't dawn, yet.

"I love you Francis." She said smiling before going back to sleep.

Kenna knocked to Bash's bedchamber door. She has thought of it all day, it was selfish of her to let Bash comfort her and after that not talking to him during the entire day. Besides, she loved him. It was the only thing she has been always sure about. She couldn't deny it anymore, it hurt too much.

Bash opened the door with a surprised look on his face. She came to the room without saying anything more. Her old chamber she has occupied during the time she was married to him before she left.

It was the first time she returned in it after coming back to court. She has missed it. She sat on the bed.

"I can see this is a new bed," She said trying to remind him how they have almost break the old one on two.

Bash sighed and looked at her a little bit annoyed;

"What are you doing here Kenna? I doubt it's about my bed..." He asked coldly

"I missed you Bash." Kenna admitted

Bash sighed. And turned her back to her.

"Don't. you know exactly how it ends last time you've said this words."

Yes, she remembered all the words they have shared this day and all the consequences.

"I miss you, Bash. If there is any part of you that still feels for me, I'm asking for you to give us another chance."

" Is it because you don't want to be alone again, after watching your lover hang?"

" I knew before. During the siege, when the swords were flying, I called out to you. I saved your life, not Renaude's. I know you're with Delphine, and tell me if I'm wrong, but... you don't seem happy. We are still husband and wife. We haven't undone anything yet."

But she also remembered the conversation they had after they made love.

Kenna was laying on Bash's arms. She felt right, happy again. Bash and her have made love passionately like they used to do. He was her husband and she was his wife, and no one could change that. Not a woman who lived in the forest or a baby.

Her baby, not his. But he couldn't know anything about it or otherwise he will leave her, as usual, and she will be disgrace by carrying an other man child, a traitor's child.

She hadn't tell a soul, no Lola, neither Mary, nor Greer who was at court at the moment, she couldn't. She will bring them the news, weeks after Bash and her were reunited, like this, Bash will never doubt the child wasn't his.

"I love you" Kenna confessed,

Bash turned his face to hers and looked at her with a big smile.

"I love you too, and I forgive you for Antoine, I know I wasn't the best husband, but I promise it will change. I want us to work, you are my wife and you will be the mother of my children."

He took an other breath before followed

"I'm ready Kenna, this time apart from you made me think about the future. You're the only woman I want to be the mother of my children"

Kenna smiled too, he will be a great father, even if he will never learn the truth. She kissed him, chastely first, then with more passion.

"Then, let's try again;"

But Bash pushed her gently away. He got up then got dress.

"I need to speak with Delphine, she deserves the right to know that I have reconcile with my wife" Bash announced.

"Of course, but after that, don't ever leave me again, husband."

"I promise, wife" He said giving her peek on the lips.

"I know Bash. I'm sorry for what I did to you, I will never be able to forgive my self for all the wrong I caused."

Bash sat on a armchair and sighed.

"I know you are."

Kenna got up and got close to her husband. She needed to have him close to her after everything had happened during the siege.

"I couldn't stop thinking about you, when I was with Leith, almost dying."

Bash took her hand on his own. He tried to comfort her, just like he did the day before.

"I thought about our marriage. Our family."

She stroke his cheek the way she knew he liked.

"I want you Bash."

Then she kissed him. Bash was very responsive. He got up brutally and pushed her into the bed. Kenna come with pleasure. She kissed Bash and helped him to get rid of his shirt just like he did with her corset.

"I want you too."

They didn't wait a little before connecting their body to each other. They made love during the all night. Enjoying the passion they shared, just like old times. Before Antoine, Renaude and Delphine.

When they finished making love, they were breathless and exhausting.

Kenna was now laying on Bash's arms. He kissed her forehead.

"That was..." He started.

" I know, I felt that too" she answered before kissing him on the lips.

"You're the most beautiful woman in the world."

Kenna laughed loudly and went on top of him.

"You're quite handsome too." She said while kissing his chest.

"I was a fool to let you go. I was a fool to sleep with the Queen mother." Bash said with sincerity

"Don't worry, I slept with others too."

Bash froze, he didn't like thinking of his wife sharing others men bed.

"How many? I mean you know about me and Lola, and the Queen mother of Imereti, and Delphine."

"I slept with Renaude, the Prince and when I was in Sweden there is an other man, but it didn't work between us."

"Why?"

"Because of you, of course. It was to soon for me to get involved with an other man."

"Hmm, and with the Prince?"

"Seriously Bash, you really want to talk about it after this awesome night of sex."

Bash nodded, insisted.

"Alright then. I slept with him many times, but I already told you that. We were good together, but it wasn't enough for me to forget you, especially with our baby."

Bash stroke her hair. He loved the feeling of being naked next to the woman he was forced to marry more than two years ago.

Kenna kissed him on the lips.

"Promise me you will take care of our baby, Bash..."

"I will, both of you."

She kissed him an other time and they change their position, now Bash was on the top of his beloved wife, kissing every part he missed so much of her slim body. And of course they made love again until they were really fall asleep.

Kenna was waking up in Bash arms. It was the first time since her return she felt happy.

Bash and her have spent the night together, making love. She was so afraid during the siege. So afraid to never see him again and die without telling him her true feelings.

« Hello there. » Bash said smiling.

He kissed her on the head.

« Did you sleep well? » He asked

« Perfectly, but barely, you know you've quiet prevented my sleep. »

« Oh it wasn't disturb you, last night. »

« It wasn't. » Kenna answered with a bright smile."I love you Bash. I want to be with you. »

« I want to be with you too. I love you. »

They shared a passionate kiss.

"I will love you for the rest of my life and I will never let you go again." Bash announced

Bash kisses were accentuated.

"And for Imereti?"

"Georges will understand. He just want me to be happy. And with you, I am."

"I'm the happiest man in the world."

Kenna kissed him one last time, then got up. She started to dress. Bash looked at her questioning.

"What are you doing?"

"Bash" She started "We can't stay in bed the entire day."

"Yes we can." Bash came nearer to his wife and undress the corset she tried to put on.

"We have duties." He kissed her on the neck then attacked her ears. "I... need...to..., oh god."

Kenna was incapable to say more so she pushed Bash on the bed.

"Mary can wait..." Kenna finally said.

Catherine organized festivities aim to announce the coming birth of the new heir of the Royal Family of France. Charles and Catherine will rule until the child would become a man, if it was a boy, but Catherine was very sure of that.

Mary wore a beautiful white dress accompany to a magnificent tiara in her hair. Now all the court can see her pregnancy. The former Queen of France was glowing, and sometimes very tired. Catherine said that was because royal heir are more heavy because of their future strength to rule their realm. It was the case for Francis. It epitomized, that the child will become a great ruler. And King Francis was. But Mary was tired nonetheless and very eager to gave birth to the child. She was four months pregnant and felt like a cow.

Kenna approached her. She was smiling and different.

"You are exquisite Kenna and you seemed very happy."

"Thank you. An you, you are glowing, pregnancy suits you."

"Well I feel like a plough horse but thank you nonetheless."

Kenna smiled.

"Do you know where is Georges?

"Yes, he has a meeting with the German ambassador, outside the castle, with his sister, he wanted to tell you but you were not around."

"Alright. Do you know when he'll come back?"

"He didn't know, perhaps tomorrow morning."

Greer joined them with a cup of wine.

"Greer, it's a pleasure." Mary greeted the former Madam.

"Lola is quite exhausting she won t assist the festivities."

"I understand, after what she's been through." Mary answered. "Bash, are you joining the festivities? Mary said seeing Bash arrived.

"Actually, yes. Kenna will you dance with me."

"Absolutely."

Bash took Kenna's hand and they joined the dance floor. Mary looked at them astonished. She didn't know the former couple was talking to each other again, but a dance, it was a lovely surprise.

"Am I missing something? Are they together again?" Greer asked surprised as she was.

"Well apparently." Mary said while she saw them dancing like a happy couple.

"Greer, Would you dance with me?" Someone asked to the beautiful blond girl.

"Martin." Greer said and gave a look to Mary meant to say Can I go, I really want to dance with him.

"Go Greer. Enjoy the festivities."

Martin and Greer joined Kenna and Bash and dance. Tonight everyone was happy.

"Thanks to you Mary. He will be proud of you." Catherine affirmed "I think it's time to announce the good news to the realm of France, even if it's clearly visible" Catherine added looking at Mary belly.

Greer and Martin de Lambert left the dance floor and joined Kenna and Bash who were talking.

"Kenna this is the Privateer Martin de Lambert" Greer presented her new lover to her friend.

"Oh, I heard good things about you." Kenna said.

"I heard about you too. Late King Henry has really good taste, you are a beauty."

Kenna felt a little bit uncomfortable about her past as King's Henry mistress.

"If only I met you earlier, perhaps you will be in my arms now."

Kenna laughed, she was charming. Bash and Greer didn't seemed happy about their companion flirtation. Then Greer interrupted.

"Kenna is married Martin and not interested." Greer said firmly.

"Married women are my favourite."

Kenna laughed again, increasing Bash annoyance.

"I'm her husband." Bash announced which has the effect to stop the flirtation.

"And you are a very lucky man." Martin finished.

"Kenna. Maybe we should go." Bash said.

Kenna nodded and left Greer and her lover.

Greer was very upset by Martin behavior, yes she was used to his flirtation with other woman, but Kenna was her friend, not a woman she didn't know.

"What was it?" Greer asked.

"Are you jealous Love?"

"No I'm not. You've embarrassing me in front of my friends."

"No, I flirted with your girlfriend, and you didn't like that because you were jealous. Am I right Love?"

"Perhaps."

"You don't have to be worry Greer, you are a beauty too. And I actually prefers blond."

"Well, I can accept this sort of apology."

"It wasn't an apology at all."

"I don't care." Greer said charming, stroking Martin's face.

"Maybe we should go to your room."

"I think it's a good idea."

Kenna and Bash got rid of their clothes very quickly and jumped into bed. They made love.

"I don't know how I could manage to resist you during all the evening."

"I know. I love you when you are jealous" she said while kissing him with passion

"I'm not."

"Hmpph, yes you are!"

"Perhaps but it's your fault, are you going to flirt with every man we saw?"

"You know make an other comment like this and you will miss my body for years."

"You can't resist me!"

"Are you sure, you know I am a very good player at this sort of game."

"I don't want it. I already missed your body for too long."

"I missed you too Bash. Tomorrow we can go for a ride, Greer told me there is a lake near the forest we can have a picnic and swim. Without our clothes."

"We can go now!"

"Are you mad!" Kenna laughed. "it's a dark outside."

"I know the forest Kenna, I can protect you."

"Okay."

"Okay, like you mean we can go?"

"Yes. Like I mean we can go."

He kissed her and she laughed. They dressed fast as they undressed earlier and left the room.

Claude came to the infirmary where Leith were recovering from his injuries. She sat on the armchair next to the bed and watched him sleeping.

She stroked his cheek sweetly.

"Hello there." She said when he opened his eyes.

"Claude?"

"Yes, it's me. I was so afraid that I lost you." She said a bit shaken.

"I'm alright."

"Thank you for saving my life and Lola's. You are a hero."

"At your service Princess" He joked.

She kissed him on the forehead.

"There, this is water."

Claude helped the guard to drink his cup.

Bash and Kenna were swimming in the lake, it was dark and they were entirely naked and somehow it was reckless but they didn't care, because they were finally together.

After they joined back the shore, Kenna dressed up with Bash shirt standing on the shore.

"You are very sexy in this outfit."

"Thank you. But know it darling, that everything I wear makes me sexy."

" you are more sexy when you're wearing nothing."

Kenna laughed and laid down on the grass, Bash followed her move and put her on his arms protectively. He kissed her on the head.

They were contemplating the stars.

"Look a shooting star!" Kenna cried

Bash turned his head and looked at her in the eyes.

"You remember when we said for the first time that we love each other?" Kenna nodded so he continued. "They were shooting stars too."

"Yes but it wasn't exactly the same shooting stars. You killer romance said it was the darkness, the announcement of the plague."

"I know. I can't very hard sometimes. Sorry about that"

"Don't worry. I understand."

"And I love you for that."

"You know... before, when our marriage was still alright, we never do such a thing. Living in the middle of the night and making love into the woods."

"I know. I wasn't the best husband before. But I want to make you happy again. Remember when I said we should go to Paris?"

"Yes."

"Maybe we should go, in two days."

"You re not the man I used to know."

"Is it a bad thing?

"No quite the opposite actually. I love this man more."

"And I love you"

They shared an other kiss.

"You said making love in the woods?" Bash asked seductively. "I don't remembered do such a pleasant activity."

"Oh it's because it's kind of the plan now." She said now straddling on Bash.

"I love this plan."

Kenna and Bash returned to the castle at dawn, it was quiet. No one, apart some domestics where around.

Kenna can felt her hair were still damped, and her dress wasn't exactly in the right way, as for her jewels, she's no longer wearing them.

Bash and her were still holding their hands, and laughing and sometime exchanging some kiss, when a guard came to the Lady.

"Lady Kenna. King Georges is looking for you." He announced.

Kenna nodded before the guard left. Bash kissed her again and again, and if it wasn't for her duty Kenna would have let him doing that the entire day.

"Bash... You know we will have all the time for that after my conversation with Georges."

"I know. But I want to show you how much I love you." He said before kissed her softly on her beautiful lips.

"I'm not complaining, and I love you too, but I really have to go." She kissed him again. "I'll be right back."

Greer woke up on her bed, she was naked. She turned her side and noticed that her lover has already left. She saw the note on the pillow.

"Thank you Love for this beautiful night but it's time for me to go back on sail. We'll see each other very soon"

Greer let the note and went back to bed brutally, grumbling. This man frustrated her so much yet she couldn't stop him to sleep with her.

She got up, and started to dress with her maid help. A simple braid and a green dress. Her maid also brought her a cup of coco and some sweets.

She took over it and walk in direction to Lola's room. The guard let her pass. Since the siege Catherine has commanded two guards by chamber for protection, especially for Lola who was very weak cause of the recent events.

"Good Morning" Greer said putting the coco and sweets on the table near to Lola's bed. "Did you sleep well."

"Yes. I feel better these days." Lola responded with a low voice.

"Good."

"So, how were the festivities last night?"

"Good, Mary announced her pregnancy, the people was ravish. Moreover Kenna and Bash seemed to get back together."

"What, are you sure?"

"Yes, especially when I went to her chamber before I come to you, a guard told me she has left the castle, with Bash."

"I'm happy for them. Do you know when they're going back?"

"No."

"And Leith?"

Greer was a bit embarrassed when someone talked about her ex-boyfriend. Especially now, she has learned about his relation ship with Princess Claude.

"He is recovering."

"He saved my life, if he wasn't there...I..."

"I know." Greer finished hugging Lola.

Kenna entered to the Royal family of Imereti's apartment, she was ready to tell them the news. Georges will be happy for her, as for Tamara she'll say something like I knew it.

Unfortunately when she saw their faces it wasn't something she expected. And somehow it worried her. Anastasia was crying on her sister's arm, and Tamara was on the verge to, she wascomforting her little sister.

Kenna smile immediately disappeared.

"What happened?" She asked

Georges got up

"Kenna, someone delivered me this letter earlier" Georges said pointing the letter on the desk. "My mother is dead."

It felt like someone stabbed her on the heart. The Queen Mother wasn't someone she liked very much but she has never dreamed of her death. She couldn't believe it.

"How?"

"The Ottoman, they sent an assassin, he slit her throat." Georges finished.

"I'm so sorry Georges. Is there anything I can do?"

"We need to go back to Imereti, now, I don't how I can rule without my mother but I have to...I..."

The young King burst into tears and Kenna comforted him.

"I'm so sorry. I will help you, I promise. I will stay by your side and I'll become your future wife, your Queen."

"Thank you Kenna. I don't know what I'll do without you."

"You have always supported me, now it's my turn. I made you a promise, to you and your people.

"I will be always grateful."

Kenna cried too. But not for the same reasons, of course she was shocked by the news of Queen Elene's death. But now Georges was alone, it meant, she had to be his Queen and helped him protecting the realm of Imereti, a new alliance with France will help.

However, it meant the end of her happiness, she had to left Bash and her friends and even her son. Imereti wasn't safe anymore and she didn't want to do this to her baby boy.

"I'll talk to Mary."

Mary was brushing her beautiful hair, got ready for this new day with big belly. Her maid helped her dress when one of her guard announce Kenna's arrival.

Mary noticed Kenna tears. Something was definetly wrong.

"Leave us." She commanded to her maid.

"Kenna, dear lord what happened?"

"It won't be long actually." Kenna started on the verge of bursting into tears. "It's the document for my annulment. I finally signed it."

Mary was surprise she was so sure Kenna and Bash were getting back together, the dance, their smile.

Mary took the document and looked at her friends questioning:

"Why?"

"I'm going back to Imereti. Queen Elene is dead, and Georges need a wife to rule, I made a promise. Imereti is in danger. Please don't try to stop me. I'm only there to give you this paper. Don't tell everyone until I'm gone. I want to remember moments of happiness, not sad goodbyes."

"Kenna..."

"Tell Bash, I'm sorry, and please take care of my son, I can't bring him back to Imereti, it's too dangerous."

"Kenna... Please think about it. You can't abandoned Bash, he won't get through this, it will destroy him, and your son, he can't grew up without his mother. I know you're shocked but we will find a solution, I'll help you, Greer and Lola too, even Bash."

"Mary you don't understand, it's not about me or my happiness it's about a country and thousand of people, you're the Queen of Scots and was the Queen of two nations, so you can understand." Kenna cried but continued nonetheless " I hope somehow I could be happy. These days with all of you were perfect, but I made a promise, and now with the Queen death, I can't break it."

Then Kenna left.

"Guards!" Mary screamed.

"Your Majesty," The Guard entered

"Find the King's deputy! Now!"
