January 2nd 1512

Chateau Blois, France

Mary Boleyn POV

All of France has heard the news of King Henry the VIII and the rule of Queen Isabella I and Edward the VI.

It turns out King Henry made his wife Isabella sleep with Edward and that Beau, Henry, Mary, Elizabeth, Arthur, Edward, William, and Isabella may be Edward's and not Henry's.

Anne is afraid of the new King as he might believe our stepmother instead of us.

I am now 12 years of age and so much closer to marrying Francois.

Anne's birthday is in February and George's April. And then there are my future siblings who are to be born will be born in June at the earliest.


Queen Katherine POV

I am in confinement with only the ladies I trust. Anne and Mary have been a Godsend for these past few months they've been here.

I then feel a rush of wetness in-between my legs. My water's just broke. Anne runs to get the midwife, Arabella Naples. I can do this, it'll be fine. Oh, the pain comes before I can reassure myself again.


Midwife POV

''Push, my Queen, push.'' I tell Katherine. Katherine screams as she pushes out the first babe. ''It's a boy my Queen.'' I tell her. She then starts screaming and pushing again. She delivers a baby girl and then another baby boy then another baby girl and pushes the afterbirth out after that. Two more princes and two more princesses for France.


Queen Katherine POV

I name the first boy with raven black hair, Henri.

The eldest girl with my hair is Isabella after my mother.

The second born boy with brown hair, shall be named Alexander, and my baby girl with black hair shall be named, Anne. In honor of Anne Boleyn as I already have a Mary.

I send my husband a letter telling him I have given birth and what their names are. They are my children and I can name them whatever I wish.


King Louis POV

That woman may be my wife but she is undermining my position too much. Our sons may have fine names but it is up to me to name them not her. Alas, it is too late. She has already signed their birth certificates. There is no way to change it now. I'll let her get away with it now but I am King I am father to those boys. They should have bared names that I chose.

At least my maîtresse-en-titre doesn't forget her place. Any sons of ours will be named by me and daughters by her.

They only get to name the daughters and my Catalina should remember that.


Later that night

I go to my bed with Catalina and that night I make love roughly to her. I remind her of her place and make love to her until I'm sure she will end up with child.

With that I leave to go to my new mistress' rooms.

Violet Fiore is a blonde beauty who I will fill with many bastard children. I enter Violet breaking her maidenhead and make rough love to her.

I call in the guard outside from watching the doors and let him have some fun. He roughly plows her into the mattress and then finishes inside of her. Then it's my turn again and I don't leave the bed until the next morning.


January 4th 1512

Violet Fiore POV

The prospect of a good marriage is gone as I can't refuse the King.

My sister tried but Louis destroyed her reputation before bedding her and marrying her off as soon as he tired of her. Now I'm stuck being Louis' mistress no matter if I want to be or not.

And he says he's going to pass me around and let me have his friends' bastards even if I do not wish to. I pray someone will save me and take me away from here.

The guard and Louis come back and bring a friend of theirs. William Brereton, Louis, and the guard take turns with me and I know beyond a doubt that if I wasn't pregnant before, I am now. Someone please help me.


January 8th 1512

Queen Katherine POV

I send Violet Seymour nee Fiore away to England. I asked Phillip Seymour to take Violet's hand in marriage and to go back to England so she would be safe from my husband.

Phillip it turns out loves Violet and cares not that she's no longer a maiden.

Violet it turns out had taken a potion to keep her from bearing a bastard child but was afraid that even though she took it that it wasn't all that effective and she would turn out pregnant. But the potion is 100% effective and any child she has will be a Seymour.

Rosalita Bête may be a willing mistress but it doesn't mean every woman in France is willing to sleep with Louis.

Oh, he might get angry at me but I'm the mother of his heirs and he cannot replace me. No matter how much he wishes to and therefor I will always be Queen of France.


Phillip Seymour POV

I'm finally wedded to Violet and making sweet love to her. We are on a boat headed for England and we are safe from mad King Louis. He used to be a kind ruler, now he is a tyrant taking whatever he wants (except Mary and Anne Boleyn) no matter the cost.

And with Henry gone and Edward on the throne Violet is safe in England as well. Henry VIII took whatever he wanted and was turning into a tyrant until his untimely death no woman was safe from his advances. I even hear rumors that he slept with his own sister.


Violet Seymour nee Fiore

I am free. I am really free from Louis thanks to Queen Katherine.

I thank God I told her when I did as I never wanted to be the French King's mistress. But my father pushed me and Louis aggressively pursued me until I broke down and I let him have me. I only wanted it to be once and then he was going to pass me around.

I had to tell my Queen for I couldn't bear it and be labeled a harlot. God forgive me for giving in in the first place as I never wanted to be a mistress to anyone only a wife.

And now I thank God that Phillip did not desert me and still loves me as if he was the one who had taken my maidenhead. Oh, how I love my Phillip. Mon amour.
