Chateau Blois, France

Anne Boleyn POV

I am in the chapel getting married to William Bête and giving him my dowry.

''I William Bête, take thee, Anne Boleyn 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.'' William vowed

''I Anne Boleyn, take William Bête 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.


Later that night

William and I go to our rooms and consummate our marriage and a week later we leave for England.


''I'll miss you Anne. You're going to become an aunt again.'' Mary told me.

''I'll come visit. And who knows I may make you an aunt as well.''

''You can come visit anytime.'' the Regent King Francois told me.

''And I will. When we can of course.''


Francois Angouleme POV

''You are with child?'' I ask my wife.

''Yes, my love. I feel it is a son this time.''

''I care not for the gender, only that they are born healthy.''

''But you need an heir my love.''

''I am only the regent until Louis is old enough to take the throne.''

''I know but you still need an heir. My father says it is a woman's duty to give her husband heirs.''

''Your father is a fool. He knows not what he has.''

Duchess Rosalita Brandon POV

Brandon Chateau

I was the Queen of France but no longer as Katherine's son Louis will take over when he turns twelve.

I am almost four months with child with Drake's children and I couldn't be happier.

While I miss my second husband the mad King Louis, I am happier with Drake and would rather be with him. Drake loves me and I him.

I only married Louis as revenge for me and revenge for my cousin.

My cousin because Louis backed Henry the VII for Edward's banishment and me as he executed my first love.

His name was Tristan Blois and he was a supporter of the Plantagenets.

When Louis found out Tristan was a supporter, he had Tristan arrested given trial then beheaded.

Tristan and I had married and had a child. Then I spelled myself a virgin as no one knew we were married.

Tristan would be proud of his son. As his son is four years old now and a brilliant child.

Tristan had black hair, grey eyes, tanned skin, and an oval face.

Our son, Christian has my brown hair, Tristan's grey eyes, my pale skin, and Tristan's oval face. He has my almond shape with his eyes, Tristan's nose, my heart shaped lips, Tristan's ears and chin, and the thickness of my hair.

Of course, the Royals think and believe these babes are Louis' and they might be. Or at least one of them could be.

I am having triplets and they will be recognized as Mad King Louis' children. Even if they are really Drake's (but they don't know that).

Louis would have married Diana Brandon for his second wife if he would not have executed Tristan.

Caterina or Queen Katherine did indeed die of childbirth and would have died even with help.

I am a seer and can see every decision's future. That's how I know what would have happened if Tristan was alive.

Tristan and I would have had five more children before I would be infertile and I would never be mistress to King Louis the XII. That would have been Diana Brandon.


Duchess Nerissa Brereton nee Bête POV

I am eight months pregnant with my husband William Brereton and I feel it is a son. I at least hope I am carrying a son.

I have finished making three christening gowns as I can't decide which one I like best.

I yawn and decide to take a nap so I stop what I'm doing and go to bed.


A few hours later

I wake up and go to get out of bed when I feel my water break. I call the maids and send for the midwife.

''Push my lady push.'' Stella Rougarou said.

''I am pushing.''

I push then the head comes out, I push again and the shoulders come out, then the final push and the babe is out but before I can do anything, I give birth to two more babies and pass the afterbirth.

''Two sons and a daughter milady.'' Stella tells me.

''Tell my husband that I have given birth to his children.''


William Brereton POV

I pace back and forth until the door opens.

''Well? Do I have an heir?''

''Duchess Nerissa forbids me to disclose the gender as she wants to tell you herself.''

I go into the room and see my ravishing wife with her blonde hair stuck to her.

''May I introduce our sons and daughter.''

''Our sons shall be named Kaelan and James.''

''Our daughter shall be named Grace.''

''A perfect name that you have chosen for our daughter Nerissa my love.''


April 10th 1513

Naples Manor

Petunia Naples nee Fiore POV

I am spending time with my three-month-old children Roselia and Louis while Samuel is at court.

I also just found out I am two months pregnant with Samuel's heir.

Louis and Roselia will never get to know their father and that saddens me as every child needs a father.

Samuel says as soon as he comes home, he will be a father to them. I need him here now. I worry that he has taken a mistress and will not want me as his wife anymore.

I have no prospects for a marriage if he divorces me.

God please let me keep this man happy. I repent for the sins which I have committed I ask for Your forgiveness and ask that my husband will stay with me.

For my children if not for me.
