Chapter 3

When we arrived at the castle I heard the horns playing a fanfare and everyone clapping. I was so happy to be back, to see my ladies, but I was certainly not excited about being back with Catherine and Henry. After Francis helped me out of our carriage, I looked up and smiled. When we walked into the castle, me holding onto Francis's arm, I heard screaming coming from my ladies. "I missed you all!" I called, giving all of them hugs, with the biggest smile on my face.

"You both look happy," Greer noted smiling at Francis and I.

"We were. We are," I replied smiling, while Francis kissed my cheek. "I'm sure we'll be just as happy here as we were in Paris, and Anet, and every castle from here to the Loire Valley. Oh, which reminds me. I found a wonderful suitor for you, Greer, and there's one I Paris who is very keen to meet you Lola," I told them all with the biggest smile on my face.

"Wonderful," replied Lola.

Then the voice I dreaded to hear, maybe dreaded is to hard of word, but I surely wasn't wanting to see her. "Mary! Oh, how I've missed you," Catherine said giving me a hug and a kiss on the cheek. She actually looked pleased to see me for once.

"Ah."

"A word?" She asked Francis walking away.

"And so the politics and backstabbing begin," I whispered. Francis just rolled his eyes at me and smiled, walking away to go talk to his mother. My ladies and I walked down the corridor all smiling at each other. We walked to my chambers chatting a bit. When we got to my chambers, I had the girls try on their gowns I had made especially for them. "I love mine! Thank you!" Greer approved spinning around in her black dress.

"I love mine. How utterly virginal," Kenna pointed out smirking at Greer and I.

"And utterly ironic," Greer noted, all of us started laughing at the statement Greer had said. had made.

"Oh, you look gorgeous in your gown, Lola," I added smiling at her in aw.

"The gown is incredibly lovely, it fits like a glove," She replied, twirling in her dress, while all of us smiled at her.

"So, Mary, tell us are you pregnant?" Greer asked.

"Greer!" Lola called scoffing at Greer.

"It's been almost two months. You know everyone's wondering," Greer urged."

"Twwoo months isn't very long," I stuttered, not wanting anyone to think I was pregnant. I opened a box of marzipan, which made me want to be sick by the looks of it. I offered one to Greer, than Lola, and than Kenna who all took one.

After arriving at the castle, Mary's ladies walked quickly to us, giving Mary a hug. "I missed you all!" Mary called, looking as happy as she was on our wedding tour.

"You both look happy," Greer noted smiling at both of us, while I grabbed Mary by the hand and kissed her head. She started to tell the girls about the suitors she thought would be good for them, while I thought they should deserve some much more. But I wouldn't of dared said anything to my wife, by the thought of being eaten alive. I felt Mary stiffen when my mother, Queen Catherine came down the corridor. "Mary!" My mother yelled. "Oh, how I've missed you," She said giving us a hug and kisses on the cheek. Mary looked quite upset with my mother, after she said "a word."

"So the politics and backstabbing begin," Mary believed, I just rolled my eyes and her and gave her a big smile. I walked away to my mother as I saw Mary and her ladies walk away as well.

When I got with my she hugged me, saying "You must tell me all about your travels...later. First, you need to know that your half-brother didn't make it to Spain." I looked at her in astonishment.

"What do you mean?" I asked her. "I sent those guards with him myself. They were supposed to accompany him to a ship and see him safely on board."

"The bodies of those men you sent were found by the side of the road, not long after you left for your honeymoon," she told me.

"But Bash's body was not found?" I questioned.

"Either he killed the guards himself, or the whole party was attacked, and her managed to escape," she said sounding as if she was going to scream.

"Are they looking for him?" I asked, scared for Bash, but also worried he would try to come after my wife again.

"Of course, Henry has his men looking everywhere. Aren't you glad you have a mother who pay attention to such things?" My mother asked, making it sound as if she was the best person in the world, so all I did was nod and smile at her.
