AN: hello my lovelies. I hope you enjoyed the last chapter. What did you guys think of the new episode of Reign? I loved it. Anyway here is the next installment of Royaly in Love. Enjoy!

Mary POV

Francis has been gone for almost four months now. I cry myself to sleep every night. I sit in my big bed and mourn the loss of warmth where his body should be. I sit in the disturbing quiet of my room for what feels like hours before my ladies enter to ready me for the day. They put me in a gray and white gown with beautiful lace covering my chest and a black sash across my mid section. The bottom half of the gown in black with heavy beading at the top and becomes less as it cascades down to the bottom. The dress fades from black to gray with the beads and jewels. I can only think that something is up. They would only put me in something as beautiful as this if it was a special occasion. Normally I would be delighted for Francis to see me in this dress but he is away at war. The only person who would see me in this is my ladies and Bash, as I do not wish to leave my chambers until Francis has returned. " Why have you put me in such a lovely dress if I am only going to stay inside of my chambers?" I ask. " Because we are going to take you out of these dreaded rooms and you my friend will spend some time with living people," Alee tells me. I start to protest but they tell me that no matter how much I protest I will leave my rooms. They tell me that they have ordered form Catherine to make sure I leave my rooms. I give up at my protest and we walk together to the dinning room. There we are greeted by Henry, Catherine, Bash and Diane, who looks like she has been crying. My ladies and I sit on the opposite side of the king and queen. " Mary it is so wonderful to see you, I am happy to see that you decided to leave your chambers for once." Diane says." Mother! How dare you speak to Mary in such away. She is a queen, apologize." Bash says sternly to his mother. She still refuses to apologize. " You cant blame her for not wanting to leave. This stuffy castle has been miserable since Francis left. And the only thing that brings her joy is away, why would she want to live in a world with out joy, let alone see it? You have no right to say those things to her. Especially since you have no idea what she is going threw." Kenna says fiercely." Kenna, it's fine. She can say what ever she wants about me. It just proves, even more, how much of a cold-hearted woman she is. " I say finally speaking up. The room goes silent after I finish speaking. The rest of our meal is silent except for the occasional small talk that we all make. After the meal, I decide to go for a walk alone in the gardens, as it is a beautiful spring day. I walk to my chambers to grab a book. I walk in and there is a letter on the wooden desk,that sits next to the window. I pick up my book and the letter and leave my room. I walk out to the gardens and walk along the path to the willow tree that Francis proposed to me by, and that we danced under not so long ago. I smile at the lovely memories that come flooding in and decide to sit deep with in the comforting willow tree. I plop down and smooth out the skirt of my dress. I pick up my book, forgetting about the letter, and fall asleep almost instantly. I wake and see that it is almost night fall, and no one has come for me .I pick my book back up and continue to read.I am almost finished my book when a small boat shaped piece of parchment floats down, landing on top of my book. I place my book down and take the boat in my hands. It has a small inscription on the side, that reads" Look up" I look up and see my Francis standing at the entrance of the willow.

Francis POV

I walk threw the gates of the castle that I left only four months ago. I am welcomed by the cheers of castle servents and villagers from the nearby village. I expect to see my Mary waiting for me, but am only greeted by her ladies. I walk over to them." Where is Mary?" I ask them." She went out for a walk in the gardens. I went to go get her when you were spotted but she was asleep. I thought it would be best if you woke her." Lola says. I thank them and leave to go to my chambers. I change into something more appropriate. I leave and walk out to the gardens, the first place that I look for her is under the willow tree that contains so many of our memories. I can barely see her reading threw the thick branches. I walk back quietly to my rooms and pick up a piece of parchment. I fold it into a boat and write on the side of it. I walk back out to the willow and quietly enter. She is sitting deep within the willow, so she cannot see me. I lightly toss the delicate boat, and it lands on her book. She sets the book down, picks up the boat, reads my note, and looks up at me. Her eyes light up with joy. She quickly stands and runs into my open embrace. She pulls away and kisses me passionately on the lips. She pulls away and smiles, leaning her forehead aginst mine. We pull apart after a few moments and start to walk back to the castle. She holds her book, a letter, and the boat in one hand, and my hand in the other. " When did you return?" she asks me braking our silence." Not too long ago. Lola came to get you when we were spotted, but you were sleeping. She thought it would be better if I was the one to wake you." I tell her." well she was very right. I could not be any more happy in this moment." She says. We walk hand in hand to the castle.

Catherine POV

Seeing Francis alive and well today only made me even happier. Olivia had never left the court, though henry had suggested it I seduced him and he had a change of mind. But the only way I could get him to agree to my plan as if I continued to pleasure him. And that is what I will do. I will do anything to ensure my children's safety. I finish with my business and walk to his chambers, where I will be staying for the night.(****). I walk in and see him still strapped to the chair with the blind fold over his eyes." I see that you have listened and stayed right where I left you." I tell him." I wish to only serve you, my queen." He tells me, his kingly confidence has broken." Well, I shall reward you. What do you wish to do? Think wisely" I tell him. " only wish to make you feel pleasure, my queen. If you would allow, I would like to make love to you. At leas allow me to touch you." He tells me." You must be patient, my love. I will decide when you get to enter me. For now, you may touch me, but only how and where I tell you to." I tell him. I go over to him and untie y dress, so I am left with nothing. I sit on his lap and instantly feel his big long member pressed against my womanhood. I shove my breast in his mouth and he gladly takes it, sucking on it like a child. I let out a small moan of pleasure as he bites down. He releases and takes my other breast in his mouth and dose the same thing. I untie his him." Move to the !" I tell him. He smiles at my sternness and dose as I have told him. He lies down on his back. I tie his hands and feet to the top and bottom of the bed, so he forms an 'x' with his body. I put a blind fold over his eyes, so he can't see what I am about to do. I kiss his chin line, then his collarbone. I make my way down to his pants. I undo his pants and pull them down to his ankles. His member springs up and shoots towards the ceiling. I might be crazy but it has grown to be double its size since I last saw it. I kiss the tip and a small gasp escapes from his lips. Then I take as much of his manhood as I can fit into my mouth. I bob my head up and down, picking up pace with each thrust down. I can feel him heading his end. Just when he is about to climax I stop. In the restraints, his fists clench. I know what he wants me to do, and I abide. I place his throbbing member at my entrance, allowing my love juices to make the plunge down easier. Then when I can stand the counter anymore I slide down. I don't start out slow. I ride him hard. Feeling me come close we both climax together like we did when we were first married.(****) I untie him and we both dress in silence. As I leave a man whom I don't know enters. I assume it is one of his new advisors. I make my exit and head toward my own chambers to clean my self up from my frivolous activities.

Mary POV

There was a ball tonight to celebrate the return of Francis and winning back Cali. I didn't care about winning Cali, I was just happy that Francis, my Francis, was home. The only thing was that Henry would not be attending the party. He is indisposed at the moment. But that means that Henrys shenanigans won't pull Francis away. Though most will be about a child, I don't care as long as Francis does not get pulled away from me. I wish to spend the entire night with him, no matter what. I dress in one of my most gorgeous ball gowns. I am siting at my desk when Francis comes up behind me and kisses me on my neck. " Mary I want you to know that no matter what those people say we will have a baby. I don't care if that is tomorrow or in ten years, I will always love you and we will have a child eventually." He tells me while helping me stand." Francis, I know that we will have a child. I don't care what they say. It just means that we are not the only ones excited to have a child." I tell him, with a reassuring smile." Well, then shouldn't we meet these excited guests. And I will stay by your side all night." He tells me. I smile at his words. He takes my hand in his and we walk to the ballroom. We enter and everyone looks as us. I see the smiling faces of our friends and family and nobles. But then I see her. At first look, you would think that she could do no one or thing harm, but I know that she ould destroy the delicate peace that Francis and I had. I ignore her as Francis and I make our way around talking and socializing with the nobles. We are talking with the duke of Aunje when she walks over." Excuse me but may I have a word with Prince Francis?" she asks. Francis and I excuse our selves from the conversation and walk over to a corner of the ball room. " What is it, Olivia. Why have you returned to the court after my Father had you taken far away?" Francis asks." I wish to speak alone with you. You can excuse that whore that you call your wife, and then we can talk." She says." How dare you speak to wife in such a manor! She is no whore. If anyone is the whore it is you. How dare you speak to a queen in such a manner. And soon she will be your queen. You can either speak in front of both of us or leave and not speak to us at all. Because, as my wife she will be present for any and all manors that concern the subjects of the country that we are to rule one day." He says. I am sure that there is not a single person in the room who didn't hear his inner lion coming out to play. I had never seen him so protective over me. It was like I was the only thing that he cared about protecting, even if it meant that the entire ballroom knew what we were talking about." Fine, I will tell the both of you. Why did you send me away! I carry your child, maybe your only child. Don't you want to at least see him once he is born?" she asks almost pleading." I do not wish to see anything that reminds me of our short time together. And how dare you say such things in front of my wife. This child will live here at court,b ut you will not. You will live somewhere far away where you can not harm me, my wife or ant children we have in the future. I will not have you around to remind me of my past, something I do not wish to remember." Francis says. You can sense the tension in the air. I am so surprised to see him acting this way. Before he would always listen to Olivia, and never stand up for me. Maybe we were on our way to achieving respect and true love for each other's honer. She walks away with a huff, frustrated at how much Francis loves me. I am kind of surprised at his reaction to her words. I truly felt special." Mary I am so sorry for what she said. She had no right to say those things. I promise you as soon as that child is born she will be gone." He tells me." Francis , its okay. I am used to her cruel behavior. I am just surprised at what you said and the grand display to her of how much you love me." I tell him." Mary I will always defend you. You are the only person that I could ever love. I will love you till the end of time and my past will not interfere with how much I am in love with you." He tells me passionately, befoe kissing me." Well I am glad to hear that the child she will provide you with has not interfered with your love for me. I thought that you would take her as your mistress, considering that I haven't provided you with a child yet." My words struggle to come out of my mouth but they do, in a voice just above a whisper." Mary this child is only a memory of my past with her. The child will not bring us any closer. Mary I will never love that child as much as a child that we have together. I don't care how soon we have one. I only are that you are the mother of my child. No one else." He tells me. I am speechless. His words make my heart melt." Now as per customs, may I have this dace, with the most beautiful women in the world?" he asks me. I gladly reply, and we glide onto the dance floor. He spins me into his arms and dips me down, and kisses my lips passionately, forgetting the others in the room. We spend the rest of the night dancing or talking with the nobles and our friends.

POV Unknown

Seeing the way Mary and Francis love each other, makes me sick. Not to mention how that whore Olivia is pretending to carry Francis' child. I will make sure that queen Mary is mine, no matter what. Thanks to what I have done today, Mary and Francis will become rulers sooner than expected. I will make sure that their love ends so Mary can't carry on the Valouse line. I will stop at nothing for Mary to be mine. I would kill for her. If only she knew who I was.
