Palace Blois, France
Dana Boleyn POV
I (wavy black hair, almond shaped green eyes, heart shaped face, plump lips, Grecian nose, pale complexion, and high cheekbones) kiss the King with fervor as I seduce him, and we are soon married, and I am the Queen of France. I sleep with him, conceiving his heir and I plan to poison him after the little one is born.
My sisters now have many more choices for future husbands and my mother, pregnant with a son I believe shall work for me. I don't believe father will be needed for long.
Even I can see what mother plans and so, I keep my sisters busy with the what ifs of their future husband possibilities.
After a long day, I go to bed, not knowing what mother is planning to do in a few months' time.

Catherine Boleyn nee Trastámara POV
I make sure my dear stepdaughter is asleep before I execute my plan. I learned from a witch I carry four babes. With that, I cast a spell for two of the sons to go into my stepdaughter as all four are boys. I smirk as my son shall be on the throne of France and no one can stop me.
No one shall know as it is common to deliver early when carrying multiple babies. I shall let Thomas live for a little bit longer. Just long enough for me to conceive again and then I shall use an untraceable poison.
I go back to my husband and kiss him and tell him that Maria deserves to be wed when she is 16 to a Lord, a Lord Carlos Ramirez that I know. The lord I speak of is in his forties right now and shall be in his fifties when he marries Maria and has no heirs.
Thomas agrees and draws up a contract that goes through. Ah how he shall help us with the fortune before I become ruling Queen.
With my son on the throne, he shall rule France. And he is Louis' son as when we came to France, I lost Thomas', but he shall not know that. I am slowly killing him, but I am making sure I shall carry babes again before I kill him.
Thomas will wish he had never committed treason as I will make sure to finish him by taking gloves with prints of a high official and shall use a dagger to stab Thomas in the heart after our coupling.

Midwife POV
''Push your Majesty, push.'' I tell Queen Dana as she went in early labor. Dana pushes and pushes until she delivers three sons and a daughter.
I go out into the hallway as she's being cleaned and tell him the good news and then leave.
Louis XII POV
I celebrate with a few maids before I go in the chambers. I see my children and smile and kiss my wife passionately and end up sleeping with her again.
''The first born shall be named Crown Prince Gilead (mini male Dana), Prince of Paris. The middle shall be Alaire (mini-Louis), Duke of Orleans. The youngest, Francois (mini-Francois), Duke of Guyenne and our daughter, Anna (mini-Dana), Princess Royal.'' I say and my wife smiles and offers me some wine which unknown to me has a sleeping agent that makes sure that I shall not feel any pain.
I drink it and instantly fall asleep, not knowing that I have condemned France to a ruler that has been from a poor family.
Dana Boleyn POV
As soon as he falls asleep, I get the dagger and while straddling him, stab him in the heart and then stepmother puts his body in his bed by magic and no one remembers that I murdered my husband.
I see Francois and beckon him to me and bed him, getting pregnant with his babes along with Louis'. And when Louis' body is found, I ask for Francois' hand which he accepts.
Hopefully, no one shall find out that I murdered Louis. I hear that stepmother is in labor and close to giving father a son. I then hear the babes were born stillborn and Arietta was such a mess that father couldn't blame her as he had seen she wanted live sons.
They have probably tried again which has given Arietta more time and hopefully, over time she shall heal.
I smirk as I have Francois wrapped around my finger and soon, mayhap he shall perish as well. I cannot and will not have a man control me. I do not know that the true side of me is caged and that the woman you see is because of a spell due to my stepmother.
To break the spell, I would have to be kissed by the one I loved and who still loves me, Thomas Cromwell. But alas, he is in England, and I am regent Queen of France until my son, Gilead is old enough to rule.
But I could ask for his presence as a mediator between France and England for another betrothal. Gilead is my eldest and he will need a strong enough Queen to rule by him.
(A/N Gilead and Anna are indeed Dana's. Francois and Alaire are Catalina's)
But mayhap not as I do not want him to come. Mayhap I can seduce the King and bear his child or mayhap, I can seduce another King. I must decide by the time I feel Francois' time is at an end.

Regent's Chambers
Regent King Francois POV
I look at my wonderful wife and smile as I see her tending to Gilead, letting him nurse on her breast and I wonder why. I do not know anything about nursing other than the fact the babe is being fed milk. Other than that, I do not know anything.
(A/N Sorry. Just wanted to poke fun at the men in the 1500s)
As I had drifted off in thought, I had not noticed that Dana was done nursing Gilead and had started nursing Alaire until I looked at her again and not at my wine.
I wish that they had been mine and not Louis' as I love Dana and she would have been Queen with me instead of a widow at just nine months of marriage.
