December 31st 1514
Chateau Blois, France
Mary Angouleme POV
I am spending time with Elizabeth, Alexander, Anthony, George, James, and Draco when knights burst in.
''What is going on here? You are scaring the children.'' I say.
''Mary Angouleme nee Boleyn you are under arrest for treason against His Majesty, King Francois the I.''
I know they don't have proof and Jasmine would never tell as it would out her as well.
They bring me to the dungeon and toss me in a cell, locking the door and I know that by the time George and Anne come I will be dead.
Queen Jasmine POV
I hear about Mary's arrest and I ask Francois about it.
''She is conspiring against me Jasmine, my love.''
''Why do you believe that?''
''England is trying to take me off the throne and put Louis on the throne.''
''England never believed Louis the XII left the throne to you and you know that. You might as well say that I am against you or have you forgotten who my sister is?'' I tell Francois.
But he still doesn't listen to me. I try to get through to him but it is useless.
I suddenly have an idea. I will ask my brother who is Mary's age to wed Mary after she is saved as I believe she will be saved.
Dear Benjamin,
I ask you after Francois is killed by the English troops as I believe he will be, to have her hand in marriage. She has borne sons so she will continue the Blount family name and I am writing to her siblings to allow this marriage so that she may be safe in England. Do it for me please.
Your sister,
Queen Jasmine
Dear Anne/George,
I know my brother may be just an earl but please for Mary's safety allow my brother, Benjamin and your sister, Mary to wed. It is not for wealth, it is for your sister's safety and mayhap they will come to love each other. Please consider it.
Your friend,
Queen Jasmine
I send all three letters out and tell the messenger no one else but George Boleyn, Anne BĂȘte nee Boleyn and Benjamin Blount.
He nods his head and heads his way to England. God, please let Mary live as she has her children and siblings to live for.
While I have my future child to live for, I don't know who else as my family wants me to leave Francois, but it isn't as easy as they think as I am his wife and not just a mistress.
I think of the five-year-old who's soon to be King of France and will marry his bride when she is old enough in 1526.
He will be seventeen as she is five years younger than he is.
I believe he is trying to satisfy France's people by having Princess Artemis as his bride rather than Princess Anita who is now betrothed to the future King of Spain, her cousin Prince Charles their mothers are the Mad Queen Joanna and her sister, Aldonza de Aragon.
Charles will be marrying his cousin whose mother was born out of wedlock, but is still of Royal blood and so Ferdinand gave Anita the title of Princess.
January 3rd 1515
Birthing Chambers
Midwife POV
''Push your Majesty push.'' I tell Queen Jasmine as I see the crown of the babe's head.
Jasmine pushes and pushes until both the baby and the afterbirth comes out.
''What is it?''
''A baby boy Your Majesty.''
''Give him to me.''
With that, I hand over the babe and tell the King he has a baby boy and go tend to the mom and give her a healing potion and take my final leave.
Queen Jasmine POV
I look at my baby boy with love in my eyes. I hope he never has to know how bad his father was as he seized the throne from his third cousin and then married eight more people and never realized what he had as he is wanting to execute his wife Mary Boleyn.
Francois comes in and sees the babe.
''His name shall be Hadrian.''
''As you wish my lord husband.'' I feign love as I no longer love him.
He leaves and I am left with my son.
''You will have a better future my son and a better father figure as your father will be executed by the English troops by permission of King George and Queen Nadine.'' I tell my sleeping son.
Someone help me and Mary as she doesn't have much time until her trial and execution.
