Chapter 10

Two weeks later:

Francis opened his eyes and the first thing he saw was his beautiful wife who was staring at him. She smiled when she realised he is awake.

"Good morning, master", Mary said.

"Good morning, my Queen ", Francis answered and kissed her on the mouth. "How was your sleep?"

"Very well because I was wrapped in your arms", Francis hugged his wife pleased of the answer.

"Do you have something scheduled for today, love?"

"No. Tomorrow I have a personal meeting with lord Stevenson. He wants to talk to me about lord Culpepper", Mary shuddered. Francis moved her closer to him.

"What about him? I've banished him from court and I don't want to see him nor talk about him.", Francis got angry.

"I don't want to see him either. When I hear his name... Brr!"

In right this moment someone knocked on the door. It was one of Mary's ladies-in-waiting. Husband and wife got out of bed and dressed big silk robes. Then Mary commanded her lady to come in. She bowed when she entered the room.

"Your Majesties", the lady said.

"Yes, lady Jane?"

"An unknown woman arrived. She doesn't want to say her name. She said that you will know who she is.", lady Jane explained. Mary's heart started beating faster. Was that...?

"Very well! We will dress ourselves and then we will see this woman. My clothes, lady Jane!"

"Yes, my lady!"

Francis kissed his wife on the cheek.

"I will see you in thirty minutes. In front of your room. We will go together to meet this woman, okay?", he asked.

"Okay", Mary answered and watched him leaving the room while lady Jane was dressing her mistress.

…..

40 minutes later Mary and Francis were walking towards the place where the unknown woman was going to arrive. They were met by Catherine de Medici around half the way to their places.

"Well? Who is she? Did they told you anything more?" she said quickly without greeting.

"Hello to you too, mother. And no we don't know anything about her identity." Francis cleared to her.

"Well my men at the gates said she has the French crest. Not that this help." Catherine told the royals.

"We know almost all noble women of France. How are we supposed to understand this "clue"?" Francis said not really realizing who was coming.

"Well I believe we will figure it out very soon." Mary point to the approaching carriage with French crest and lead them towards their places. Once again, as for every formal arrival, in the centre were the King and the Queen with her ladies-in-waiting right behind her and Queen Catherine and Sebastian de Poitiers, the new adviser of Their Majesties, next to them.

It took few minutes for the door of the carriage to open and the woman to come out. The reactions were immediate by all Frenchmen. Later when they came back to this moment in their memories, they will notice how easy is to compare the meeting with this woman with the arrival of another very important figure for the Scottish court and they will laugh of how their reactions are absolutely the same while their emotions completely different. In this moment, however, all that was seen and heard by the Scottish members of the court were Catherine's hands over her mouth, Sebastian's so quiet swearing that it could be seen only the moving of his lips, the scream of the ladies-in-waiting and the pale faces of the rulers who, even though were haunted by different thoughts at this moment, wore the same expression just like everything they dreaded had come true.

Contrary to them the woman, who was actually a Scottish going by the name Lady Lola, had the biggest smile possible on her face while she was stepping out of the carriage with her baby in her arms. She made her way towards the royals and said to them as they were long live friends:

"Mary! Francis! It is so good to see you again! I've missed you so so much!" she pretended. The answer, for everyone's surprise, she received not from one of them but from one of the Queen's ladies-in-waiting Lady Kenna.

"Lady Lola! How dare you?! In front of you aren't just two nobles who you see every day! This is Her Majesty Mary Stuart, Queen of Scotland and Future Queen of France" she accented on the last title "and His Majesty Francis Valois, Future King of France and King of Scotland! Now bow in front of your rulers and beg for their forgiveness about your disobedience!" Kenna's words shocked everyone and there was effect. Lady Lola bowed and said:

"Forgive me, Your Majesties for my disrespectful behavior and disobedience."

"Thank you for this, Kenna." Mary said giving her a small smile "And about you, Lady Lola, what is bringing you here? As far as I am aware you are not invited here officially." Mary said throwing a glance of mistrust towards Francis.

"No, Your Grace, I wasn't invited here but I was feeling rather lonely in France and knowing that all of my friends are here, I couldn't resist the want to join you." Lola stated confident once more.

"It doesn't matter how or why but you are here now, Lady Lola, so Greer could you please show her one of the guest's room for both her and the child." Francis said before Mary had the chance because he knew she was going to make a scene. Greer only nodded and practically almost ran into the castle wanting to get rid of her earlier friend as soon as possible.

As soon as they were out of sight, Mary starting walking away not saying a word to anyone. The King ran after her the moment he noticed.

"Mary! Mary, stop! Mary this doesn't change anything! I don't have anything to do with this! I swear! I love you!" Francis grabbed her by the hand and turned her to him.

"I know you do." she said caressing his cheek "But I needed to be alone now. I will see you at the fest." she said before turning away one more time and this time he didn't dare to follow.

…..

Lady Lola was walking down the corridors in the castle of Edinburgh. It was bigger than she remembered as a child. In the other end of it she saw the French Queen, Catherine de Medici, walking straight towards her. Lola could see that the Queen wasn't angry. No she was simply furious. Why the Lady could not tell. She couldn't be the reason, how could she? When Catherine was only a few metres away she stopped and Lola bowed as it is right. She stand up but before she had a chance to look at her Queen, she felt a slap over her face. She couldn't believe! Catherine de Medici had just slapped her!

"What was that for?" Lola asked standing up angrier than ever.

"Oh because I never got to do it to Diane." Catherine said with a false smile continuing down the corridor leaving the woman wondering what she meant with her words.

…..

Lady Lola was getting ready for the fest tonight in her chambers. But the only thing she thought of was the slap she got from Catherine. The French Queen never got to do it to Diane! And why to Lola? Her case was different from Diane's.

"My lady, the King and Queen will appear at 10. It is 9:30 already and you still are not ready.", lady Jane got her mistress out of her thoughts.

"Whatever", said Lola sluggishly.

"But, my lady! If you don't go until at least 9:55 you won't be able to attend the fest..."

"The King and Queen are friends of mine. I will excuse myself with an important matter and they will understand."

"It is disrespectful...", lady Jane said quiet.

"I'm your mistress!", Lola screamed and got up the chair she was sitting of to face Jane. "You have to do whatever I command and whatever that pleases me not you."

"Yes, my lady.", lady Jane bowed and continued with the outfit of lady Lola.

At 10:30pm the doors of the throne room opened. A lady was standing there looking at all the people who shut up and stared at her. This woman was not Catherine de Medici. It was not Queen Mary either. It was a lady with no title but name. The King's official mistress - Lady Lola, or at least so said the rumors. She entered the room waiting no invitation.

Queen Mary's cheeks gone red from anger. Francis started moving on his throne worried. What was this woman doing? Was she mad?

Lola bowed to their majesties and excused herself with some nonsense as Queen Mary defined them in her head. Lady Lola went to have a drink and then one of the crown's advisers walked to her.

"I liked the way you came tonight", he said smiling but got no response. "If you really were discomforted or had to do something important, you would not come. So why did you?", the lord asked. He laughed when he saw that the lady was worried. "You wanted to humiliate their majesties.", lord Stevenson 'explained' quietly. Lola looked at him. "Don't worry, my lady! We are playing the same game. We can be really good friends. I would like to meet you on saturday at 4 in the afternoon. I will send you a letter with the place of the meeting. Do not answer the letter if you are coming", when lord Stevenson ended his speech he bowed and walked in other direction. Lady Lola was shocked and didn't know what to do or say. Well she may meet the man... It all depends on how Mary and Francis treat her.

A/N So we are finally there. Lola arrived lol. This is a little shorter than usual but I plan something bigger for the next one. So... And one more thing.
