January 14th 1515

Chateau Blois Dungeons, France

Anne BĂȘte nee Boleyn POV

We arrived in France yesterday morning and now the troops are fighting Francois' troops while George and I snuck into the dungeons and searched for Mary.

I found Mary in the third cell I looked in and unlocked the door and picked Mary up with the help of William Brereton.

By the time we got Mary to the healing wing, Francois was defeated and put in the very cell he put Mary in.

His execution is on the 30th of this month and Louis is now is to be the child King of France, his coronation is on the 2nd of February.

Louis will be a better King than Francois that much I know. He will not try and kill his future wife and if he would, England would win the war should he ever try and hurt Princess Artemis.


George Boleyn POV

I sit by my sister's bedside and then the door opens to show Elizabeth, Alexander, Anthony, George, James, and Draconis. Elizabeth is now three years old and a beautiful little girl and soon of marriage age in nine years.

It is said Francois betrothed Elizabeth to Scotland's King, James the V and as we have communication with Scotland, they intend to follow through with the marriage as soon as they turn twelve by proxy. Mary even agrees to it as Elizabeth will be safe from France after the marriage.

We send father a letter telling him Mary is alive and to tell Edward he will be able to wed Mary within next month.


January 30th 1515

Queen Nadine Ship

Mary Boleyn POV

We are on our way back to England. King Louis the XIII has pardoned me from the false crimes Francois tried to use to kill me with and for being Queen of France as I had been under mind control potions and I knew not my husband's plan to become King.

Jasmine has been pardoned as well but her hand in marriage was given to Adam Black before she leaves France for Ireland.

I got Edward Seymour's letter and I am shocked at learning he loves me and wanted my hand in marriage before but father turned him down as Francois was richer at the time and was a Duke as well.


February 2nd 1515

Chateau Blois, France

Jasmine Blount POV

They had made me watch the execution as they burned Francois at the stake and then King Louis the XIII has sold my hand in marriage to Adam Black. Cousin to Theodore Black and heir to the Dukedom of Cork and as today is my wedding day, I am dressed in the dress Louis' regent picked out.

I breathe in and out and calm myself as I walk into the Royal Chapel to meet my soon to be husband and walk down the aisle to my fate. Whether it is good or bad I cannot say.

''I Adam, take thee, Jasmine to be my wedded wife, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, till death do us part, and thereto I plight thee my troth.'' Adam vowed.

''I Jasmine, take thee, Adam to be my wedded husband, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to be Bonaire and buxom in bed and at board, till death do us part, and thereto I plight unto thee my troth.'' I vowed knowing there was no going back now.

''I now pronounce you man and wife. You may kiss your bride.'' the priest declared.

With that, we sealed our marriage with a kiss.


Later that night

Adam Black POV

I consummate my marriage with Jasmine this night five times and enjoy the time with my wife in France before we head back to Ireland.

We spend a week in France before heading out and boarding the Irish Dawn Ship and leave for Ireland. (A/N yeah, I know Irish Dawn is a corny name for a ship heading to Ireland).

We board the ship and Jasmine says her final farewell to France.


February 3rd 1515

Brereton Manor

Nerissa Brereton nee BĂȘte POV

I have found out I am four months with child after months of worrying that I would never get pregnant again.

I tell William and he is ecstatic as he will have more children. He does not have to worry about heirs, he just wants a big family and three children is not really a big family.

I hope it is only one child as I do not know how my body would take another multiple birth.

My body could only take so much and I am lucky that I survived through Kaelan, James, and Grace's birth let alone another multiple birth and Kaelan, James, and Grace are almost two. It has been almost two years since I gave birth to our triplets and I am worried that if I die in this birth, they won't remember me.


Naples Manor

Samuel Naples POV

I make love to my wife Aria Naples who has given me three sons in November of last year.

They are named Samuel, Edward, and Vincent and I am trying to impregnate her again.

Oh, how I love Aria and our children as it is a sign of our love for each other.

Our children shall be the heir to my estate and Dukedom that was given to me by the King. The Duke of Corsica.

And now, I don't have to worry about having heirs or being married to Petunia as she is dead and buried and Aria has given me the heirs I needed that Petunia couldn't provide.

I write to my brother in Spain to see how he is doing. He is turning fourteen this year and has to wed a bride of his choosing within three months' time or father will choose his bride for him.

Dear Raphael,

How are you dear brother? Have you found a bride yet as you know if you do not in time father will choose for you and you know who he will choose. He will choose Willow Warren who it has been said that she is friends with Angeletta Brandon nee Swanson and you hear the rumors surrounding her. I worry for you my brother and I hope you have found love and a worthy match.

Your brother,

Samuel Naples, Duke of Corsica

I send the letter to Spain and I hope my brother has found someone that he not only loves but is a worthy enough match to keep father at bay.

Please let my brother have found his match please.
