AN: hello my lovelies. I hope you enjoyed last chapter. Sorry for the cliff hanger, I couldn't help myself. For those of you who have been wondering if there will be a Frary baby, and there might be but then again I could be totally cruel and not have a frary baby when it is the thing I wanted most for them besides them being happy ,expect to know in the near future. Anyway here is the next installment of Royaly in Love. Disclaimer I do not own anything, no matter how much I wish I did. Also, this Fan fiction is not going to be historically accurate. Anyway Enjoy!
Henry POV
Diane has tried several times to snake her way into my bed, but since her outburst at Queen Mary she has not been welcome. When I told hr I had no need for her to pleasure me, she thought I had fallen ill. Is it so impossible that I don't need her? I didn't tell her about Catherine and I but I couldn't risk Catherine barging in on us. I also have grown accustomed to what Catherine does to me. If it bad I do not get to release and I can't have that happen again. I promised I would be faithful to her and only her, and I would keep my promise this time. All though I have been feeling a little out of the sorts lately, but I am sure it is just the stress of being a king and keeping the security of Catherine and is love affair rekindled. Most would call a secret love making an affair but considering my past and that Catherine is my wife, you can't consider it a crime. I will ask her after we make love again today. Later this week is the day of which I was born. There are many festivities planned on the very special day. There is even a jousting tournament. Catherine has discreetly told me what she plans my privet present to be. I will be in charge of our love making for just one day. But until then I have important business matters to discuss. I have yet to get queen Mary on the English throne. I plan to have that bastard Elizebeth poisoned and killed, so that England, Scotland, and France will all be ruled under one. I have requested a meeting with Mary and Francis to tell them of my plan, as they will be the next rulers and should know. They walk in together, hands intertwined, smiling." Father, why have you called us here?" Francis asks. " Well my son, I have some news concerning England. You and Mary shall sit upon the English throne and so will your grandchildren. So I sagest you start having children before that bastard Elizebeth gets married and provides England with an heir." I tell them. I can see a look of hurt on Marys face but I ignore it. But apparently Francis doesn't and feels the same way," How dare you speak to my wife that way. My apologies father but you of all people should understand that these things take time. They don't just happen overnight. And how are we going to rule England? Elizebeth was named the successor, not Mary?" Francis says almost screaming at me, proving how much he cares about her. I remember when I cared about Catherine enough to stand up to anyone, but I would never imagine my father or even the king. His courage shows me that he will be a good ruler and will protect his people." The how does not matter, what matters is just that you produce an heir. So if I were you I would get to work now. You are free to go. And no one will disturb you." I tell them. And with that Francis just grabs Marys hand and storms out of the room
Francis POV
I cannot believe what my father just said. He of all people should know she conceiving a child takes time. I just grab Marys hand a storm out of the throne room. We walk to our bed chambers. I needed a private place to talk to Mary without being seen. We walk in and she walks to the middle of the room and I just stand at the closed door, with my forehead pressed against its cool surface. " Francis, I understand if you wish to send me away. I won't be hurt if you do. You can send me away and hopefully have a new start with someone who can give you something I can't." She tells me. She is trying to be strong but her voice wavers every few words." Mary, why would I send away the only person in my life whom I love with all of my heart. I don't care if we have a child or not. I only care that I have you as my life. I don't want to have a child with anyone but you. I want you to be the mother of my children. And I don't care what anyone says. I love you with all of my heart. I could never love anyone besides you. You are the one and only love of my life. And I couldn't even imagine loving anyone besides you." I tell her with all of the rage that was built up turned into passion. I want to take her right now, but any listeners would think we are doing as my father says. and I don't want people to think that we only conceived out of my father's request. I approach her and kiss her, feeling the fire of a thousand suns in our kiss." Look, Mary, as much as I want to feel your skin against mine, we can't. I promise you later. For now, we need to discuss what my father was talking about. How would we get to sit upon the English throne?'' I say." You don't think he is going to kill her. Do you? If he does kills her than the throne is passed to me by default. Francis, I don't know if I can rule three nations. I can barely rule one." She tells me. I can sense the fear in her voice. She is really, truly worried. " Look mary, no matter what happens we will face it together. We will rule three nations. And I don't care what society says, you will help me make decisions. France, Scotland, and maybe England won't be ruled be a man. They will be ruled be a man and a woman. You and me. I promise you." I tell her. Then I hold her in my embrace, whispering words of encouraging into her ears.
Olivia POV
I am now in my last months of pregnancy, and Francis and I haven't spoke since the party where he publicly shamed me in front of everyone. Its like he doesn't give a damn about what people think about me. I bet he is going to have me killed once he is king, but then who would father his children, since that whore he calls his wife hasn't. Maybe he is just trying to show her that he loves her so they can have an heir and once they do he will come crawling back to me, and I will get to have his children. But he could mean every word he says and I will be left to take care of my child alone, or my child could grow up without a mother. All I can hope is that I have a son and that I have to stay to take care of his only child since his whore isn't doing its job. Every time I see them together I just rest my hand on my growing child to feel its kicks and am reminded of the life we once had. I am grateful that he hasn't found out that the child is not his and some servant boys. Though I have noticed the boy who impregnated me has a small mark on his shoulder, I hope my child does not have the same mark or else my secret is made public. I plan to leave the castle to birth my child. If Francis comes for me then I know he still loves me, but if not he does not love me. If he doesn't love me any more than I shall take my child and leave him alone with the whore of his. In the mean time, I plan on making the most on my pregnancy, rather than hide it like some other women. I plan on making Mary feel as though she has failed and that Francis loves me more than her. I walk out of my lonely room and into the gardens, where I know Mary is sure to be. I see Mary and her ladies sitting on a bench and the ground reading a book. But they seemed too distracted by the upcoming festivities. I walk over to them and smile warmly. I ask them if I am permitted to join. They allow me to join and I sit on the bench next to Mary. They don't ask any questions about the baby, but I can see Mary just staring at my large stomach. I can tell that she is just learning to have a child of her own. I feel a little sad for her, like what I am doing is wrong. I know how painful it must be for her, watching me bare her husband's child. I think that she wishes to be the one to have Francis first child. But she doesn't know that the child is not Francis. I keep thinking that I should tell them the truth before things get too out of hand. But then I remember the love we used to have before that beast came into his life. " So Olivia, how far along are you?" Mary asks me, pulling me out of my thoughts." I am in my last months. I should have a prince or princess soon." I tell her. And with that, she just bursts into tears. I then have a strong urge to leave, knowing I have done my job. They are to distract by a crying Mary to notice me leaving, so I just get up and walk to my chambers to rest. I walk into my chambers and see Francis." Francis, what are you doing here?" I ask him. His face is red with anger, I begin to panic." Is it true?" he says." Is what true?" I ask." Is the child mine? I was just told by a servant that the child is his and not mine and that you have been lying to me the entire time. And don't you dare lie to me. I want the truth and only the truth." He barks at me." I didn't want to lose you to that whore. I loved you first. I was your first love. I will always love you more than she could ever. And I thought that if I bore your child, a son, you would love me again. And you would realize that I am the one you love. Not that which who put you under her spell and forced you to Mary her." I could feel the tears well up in my eyes, but I had to hold them back." How could you? I have loved Mary since I was a child. You could never understand what I have for her. I love her and only her. What we had was not love. That was a distraction. And for you to think that my love for her is being forced upon me, is a total lie. I love her with all of my heart and she is the only person I could love. I have loved her since I was a child. I never loved you and I will never love you. If this child was mine then it would stay here and Mary and I would be its parents, but it is not. If the servant decides he wants this child then the child will stay, but you will not. I will not stand to have you in French court any longer. You will birth this child and then either leave with or without the child. I do not care. But you will not return to court unless summoned by your king and queen. I cannot have you around Mary. Especially with what you have been doing to her. You have been a monster, I have had to console her every night because of you. And I will not stand to hear any more about how you are terrorizing my wife. You will leave once the child is born. Are we clear?" he screams at me." Yes". I manage to get out between sobs. Then he leaves the room, leaving me alone with my child.
Francis POV
I am fuming at Olivia. Not only did she lie to me about having my child, but she terrorized my wife. I have had to console Mary every night about her not having my child yet. She even went to the point of telling me to send her away because she had not had my child yet. I walk into our chambers and see Mary and her ladies sitting on her bed, with Mary crying. " Mary what happened?" I say while briskly walking over to her. " Olivia was in the gardens and she sat with us. When Mary asked how far along she was, Olivia rubbed it in Marys face that she hadn't had a child yet." Greer tells me." Oh Mary, I am so sorry. If it helps at all she was lying. The child isn't mine. It is Leiths'. He didn't know what he was doing at the time, she just told him to make love to her and he did so. The child isn't mine, a Leith had no intention of causing any harm." I tell her. She looks up and I see her beautiful face, wet with still flowing tears. I wipe her tears away with my thumb and kiss her forehead." Are you serious?" She asks me, like a scared child, like she is going to anger me." Yes. She told me herself. And I nearly ripped her head off with my words. I was so mad at her for all of the things that she has put us through. Mary, I am so sorry I did not have her removed when you told me to. None of this would have happened if she wasn't here. You know that I love you and only you." At this point, Mary's ladies are awing over my words. I turn back to them and Greer gets the hint." I think we should be going. We will be in my rooms if you need us, Mary." And with that, Mary and I are left in our rooms alone. I pull her into my embrace and comfort her as night.
Unknown POV
The dule for Henrys birthday is almost here. That is the day that Francis shall become King. I will rule France. Even, if I have to kill every one of those damned Valouse children. The only person who will be challenging is Mary, but I will win her heart and she will be mine before she provides France with an heir.
