September 3rd 1512
Chateau Blois, France
Queen Katherine POV
I pushed and pushed until I felt my babies leave my body. Two sons and a daughter.
''Your children my King.''
''My sons shall be named Andrew and Angelo. You can name our daughter.''
''She shall be named Catalina after my own true name.''
With that Louis stormed out. Oh, I don't feel so well.
Mary Angouleme POV
I hurry to get the doctors as the Queen has lost consciousness.
''The Queen..has passed out.''
The doctor and midwife quickly gather their things and run to attend to the Queen.
They made us leave the room while they treat the Queen.
A few hours later
After pacing back and forth waiting to hear the news, Dr. Calois comes out.
''Queen Katherine has left us. She is with God now.''
We cannot believe our ears. Our Queen is dead.
A week later
Royal Chapel
King Louis XII POV
I am now married to my maîtresse-en-titre, Rosalita Bête, now Rosalita the Queen of France.
I am happy that Katherine is no longer in my life and I have married Rosalita.
It is too bad that Rosalita's children by me cannot inherit the throne unless my other sons die.
And any sons she's carrying shall be legitimate.
Petunia is now my maîtresse-en-titre and I will take another mistress as is my right.
I consummated my marriage with Rosalita and now she will forever be my Queen.
Queen Rosalita POV
I am now Queen of France and no one can stop me.
As a Queen, I can take lovers and I will as Louis believes I am faithful as my divorce from Brereton was successful as we had not consummated the marriage.
William is now married to my sister, Nerissa who is a faithful woman.
They are consummating their marriage right now.
Duchess Nerissa Brereton nee Bête POV
I am making love to my husband so that he shall have an heir. Rosalita never game him one as she was focused on the King and not her husband.
I will be the one who holds his heart and soul. Not any other woman, if he takes a mistress, I'll show him a Bête's wrath.
September 12th 1512
King's chambers
King Louis XII POV
I summon Petunia to me and take her again and again until I know she conceives my child.
I then summon the newcomer to my court Diana Brandon, Charles Brandon's cousin and what a sweet sight to look at.
I pull her to me, push up her skirts, take off her underwear, free myself, and sit her on me. Breaking her maidenhead in the process. I move fast and rough and finish inside of her.
''You shall not get married until you bear me sons. If you don't, you'll belong to a brothel and service men until one takes pity on you and marries you and by then you'll have a dozen babes.''
''But my King-''
''No buts that is the end of this conversation. I will sell you earlier if you speak again.''
With that, she doesn't speak and lets me take her two more times so that it will increase the chance of pregnancy.
I call in the guards so they'll have a bit of fun.
The guards take her at the same time and finish at the same time.
Mayhap I will sell her anyway.
I have to think on this.
Queen Rosalita POV
The child growing inside of me will be the one on the throne, I know it.
I'll make sure of it.
The people think I caused Katherine's death when I am innocent.
I may have wanted to kill her, but I never actually tried.
She died of childbed fever and I'll make sure to survive because I am stronger than her.
