AN: Hello my lovelies. I hope you enjoyed last chapter and understood what I said in my author's note. Now I did get a few questions on the content of the story, and I assure you all will be answered when the time please read the note at the end, it has a lot of important news. Anyway here is the next installment of Royaly in love, and I am so sorry for the wait.
Mary POV
I hear the trumpets blare as I stand in the cold air, awaiting the return of my husband. I got word a little while ago that he would be returning, and not alone. I would like nothing more than to be in my chambers with only my ladies and occasionally Catherin comforting me, but I don't want Francis to be embarrassed any more than he already is. He enters on a horse with many others following behind him. He dismounts his horse and comes over and gives me a big hug. He acts as if nothing has happened. I take his hug trying not to let onto my anger. He introduces me to a man, Prince Louis of Conde. I hear my ladies chatter among themselves when Olivia steps out of one of the carriages. I feel a sense of joy bubble inside of me when I see she is carrying no child, but I must look sorrowful for her. I must show my respect even for my enemies. Francis is pulled to the side by his advisors and I take the moment to walk to our chambers before he realizes anything. I tell the guards outside my room not to let anyone in except for my ladies,not even the king, before shutting the door behind me. I welcome the silence is the room, as I know it won't last for long. I hear argument outside when I begin to take off my coat." What do you mean I am not allowed to enter?! I am the king of France and I demand to be let in." I hear my husband scream." I'm sorry your majesty but I have been ordered by the queen not to let anyone but her ladies in." one guard speaks up. I can tell they are scared of losing their heads and are close to letting him in. " these are my chambers as well. You have to let me in. and that is an order of your king!" he says, I can feel the fury in his voice. I am sitting in the bed, listening to the outrage Francis is having, when I hear the sound I have been dreading. The click, that signals the doors opening. The door opens and in walks my furious husband. " What were you thinking, refusing me entry to our own chambers?" he asks in a somewhat calmer tone. I don't answer him. I only stand and walk over to the window, not bothering to look at him. As I move I feel his eyes follow me, hoping that I will walk to him. I sit on the windowsill my gaze not fluttering for a moment from the view of our chambers. We had been moved into higher rooms since Henry died. " Mary i-" he starts before I cut him off." You think you can return and everything will be fine as if nothing happened. I am sorry to tell you that nothing is okay. I wanted to stay here and not greet you, but I knew that I would only bring you more embarrassment that I already have." I tell him." What are you talking about? Mary, you have brought me nothing but joy and made me so proud. Just let me explain my actions." He begs." Oh, you explained them quite well when you left." I tell him, I can feel the tears burning in my eyes." Mary, I was poisoned. Olivia put something in the wine in our rooms that made me think I was in love with her. I love you and I always will love you. I have loved you since I met you." He tells me." Then why did you return with her? You knew the child wasn't yours yet you went after it and her." I say on the verge of tears." My mind was poisoned. I wasn't thinking clearly. I only returned with her because she was in dire need of a physician's care. Now though she id better. She shall be sent away. Mary, you are my one true love and always will be, till the day I die." He says with a passion that makes me fall in love with him all over again." You're not going to send me away?" I ask like a scared child, feeling the tears fall from my eyes." Mary if I were to send you away it would only be for your protection, and even then I would come with you because, without you, my life is meaningless." He tells me as he pulls me into his embrace. This is the only place I want to be. In my husbands' arms, he is my love, my life, and my home. I am at peace when I am with him.
Olivia POV
When Francis came to me I couldn't believe that he actually came. I had no idea if the potion would actually work but it did, and I am so grateful. He arrived just after my child was born. When he saw that the child looked more like the kitchen boy rather than him, he was awake and the man who loved Mary returned. My child died in the night, asleep and peaceful. It brought me peace to know that he died in peace and was in no pain. In the morning Francis and I started our journey back to the castle. He said I needed to see a physician immediately. The midwife said I had lost far too much blood and might not survive to the end of the week. But no that we have returned Francis is with Mary making love to the end of the earth and I am in a nunnery of one as I wait to set my next plan into action. I plan on ensuring my stay at French court and making Francis fall in love with me again. I don't care if I get executed for my plan. All I want is to know that the whore he calls his wife is no more. And this time, my plan won't fail. I have help from another.
Francis POV
As night falls I hold Mary in my arms, our limbs tangled like tree branches coming together,listening to her take each breath. I can not even fathom leaving her. I don't understand why I would say what I did when I left. I understand I was under the influence but those horrid words are things I couldn't even imagine thinking about saying to her. It reminds me of something my father would say to her. She is under more than enough pressure to produce an heir. she might be pretending to forgive me, I must make it up to her. she does not deserve to be treated like this. But I must not let Olivia interfere with anything. Mary and I shall be king and queen of France and Scotland soon, and nothing can interfere with our correlation or anything. I can't do anything about the current situation and all of my problems must wait till morning. for now, I sleep with the love of my life in my arms sleeping peacefully.
Lola POV
Francis and I never had the best relationship. we were friends but nothing more. But when he left to go to Oliva and leave Mary in a time of need, and then returned acting like everything was okay infuriated me. I leave my chambers early in the morning knowing that Mary will be awake. I walk the gardens, knowing that is where she goes to think and be alone. I walk and see her sitting inside the willow tree, where she and Francis danced under the stars. she loves this willow tree. I remember he and I going on long walks, when she first arrived, just to go to this willow and talk. I walk through the long branches and see her crying. I walk over and sit down next to her and bring her into my embrace. I don't day anything, I just hold her until she calms down. after hours of me whispering soothing words into her ear her cries stop." do you want to talk about it?" I ask her gently, predicting what she might tell me. she nods her head like a scared child. I only sit and wait for her to begin talking. " I can't help but think what if I can't do it. what if I can't bare his child. what if I have to be sent away to be fixed. what if he resents me, what if he goes back to Olivia. I can't have her taking him away from me, after everything we went through to gets married." she says as her beings to sob again. I rub her arm in a way I know will sooth her." Mary Francis loves you. I am sure that whatever it was that made him go after Olivia is no longer there, I know for sure that you are his one true love. And I am positive that Kenna will burst if she sees him. you have my word that whatever Kenna does to him will make him stay with you for years to come if he truly does not love you. but I can tell you truthfully, Francis loves you. with all him heart and would be foolish not to." I tell her." I am so sorry for putting all this on you. I am so caught up in my matters I forgot to ask you, how are you doing Lola? its been so long since we have been able to talk alone." she says, trying to cheer herself up." well I am fine, the baby is happy. Mary, there is something I never told Francis knows and I think that he has forgotten. My child was not Julians. it was Francis. I am so sorry. you were kidnaped and Francis confused me for you and I am so sorry, there was nothing I could do to stop him. trust me if I could I would have, I know how much you love him and I would hate to intervene with that and ruin your happiness. Mary, i am so sorry. I truly am." I confess to her. I watch the expression on her face change from one of sadness to hate to confusion to finally a sad acceptance." I know and thank you for not telling me. I did not need the pressure of your pregnancy to make things worse. I just wish there was a way to prove that he will still love me and won't take Olivia or even you as his mistress." she says." Mary the past can't be undone. all we can do is hope for a better future. I know that now it seems like Francis does not love you or is at least not showing it, but I know he does. I have seen the way he looks at you. he looks at you with passion and love and everything that says that he loves you. give him time, times are hard now. just trust him and all will be right."I tell her." thank you, Lola. what would do without you." she replies. we sit under the willow for a little longer before we must rejoin society.
Mary POV
Lola and I reenter the castle. I see Francis busy in the throne room, so I decide to walk to our chambers. I enter and walk over to my desk. I see a note with my name on it resting soundly n my desk, covering the other important papers so that I don't brush it to the side. I open it and read the message that is clearly written by my husband. I can tell that he took a long time to write the note and my heart melts at what it says.
My dearest Mary,
Words cannot express how much I love you and how sorry I am for my erotic behavior. I love you with all of my heart and could not imagine loving anyone else. I wish to make it up to you. Meet me in the throne room as soon as you have read this, and I assure you that by the end of this night you will be assured of my love for you.
with all the love in the world, Francis.
As soon as I read the letter i make my way to the throne room. His back is to me, as he talks to some nobles. they finish their conversation and leave, with just Francis and I left in the room. he turns around to see me. a smile creeps its way across his face when he sees me. " I got your letter." I say to him. " Francis I am not mad, I am just frustrated." I tell him. he walks over to me and puts his hand on my cheek. I lean into his hand." oh Mary." he says." Well, after all, i have put you through you deserve to rest. that is why I have something special planned for us tonight." he says matter a factly. I smile. he takes my hand and leads me out of the throne rooms, and into the gardens. the crisp spring air meets my face, I inhale the crisp scent and my worries vanish. a smile spreads on my face when I see what he set up. there is a small table, on the edge of my favorite part of flowers, surrounded by candles and white rose petals. I gasp his name, like a prayer. He pulls me closer to the table and I see that there is a large spread of fruit and cheese. there are two glasses of wine with golden lined rims filled with wine that smells of roses." Francis, you did all of this for me?" I ask with a hint of amazement in my voice." Mary, there is so much that has happened between us, and I am so sorry for it all. I left you in a time of need I had a child with your lady in waiting, let alone your closest friend. I have no idea how you can ever forgive me for it all." he says from behind me. I turn around to face him and see him holding his hand out to me." I want you to know how much I love you and that you mean the world to me." I take his hand and he spins me around in a circle. he then leads me to the table, pulls my chair out and I sit down to begin to eat and reminisce on our memories as children. I start to stutter after talking for hours with him. the sun has just set when Francis since the end of our conversation but I know he has more planned for me. he takes my hand in his and pulls me up from my seat shortly after he rises. (****) we walk out of the beautiful garden secondary, and into the castle. we walk into our bed chambers and he pushes me against the door. He leans in to kiss me and I allow him to. he kisses me with suck passion and love, all of my worries melt. his tongue crosses my lips, begging for entry and I allow it. I feel his hard long members pressed against my stomach, as our tongue dance for dominance. He pulls away and leads me to the bed, where he slowly begins to undo my corset, kissing every unclothed part of skin he can find. He pulls the last of my clothing off, and lays me down on the bed. his lips meet mine and he begins his decent down. he leaves a path of passionate kisses from my jawline down my neck to the valley between my breasts. he continues down, kissing my stomach, encouraging my want and desire for him. when he kisses right where I need him to, I gasp. He kisses all around my aching womanhood. He gently kisses the small bundle of nerves and I sigh in pleasure. his tongue gently begins to lap and my pleasure area. when he can tell my end is coming he begins to suck. I feel the ache in my stomach growing until suddenly I explode. I feel as though I am in the heavens as I give him my bliss. as I come down from my high he rises and places his lips to mine. As I taste myself on his beautiful lips, I blush as the tightening in my core returns. when I feel his member pulls with each breath and pound of his heart, I try to reach down and grab it to give him his real-life. but he stops me noticing my intentions." Tonight is all about you, my love." he says with an amount of passion that makes my heart swell and causes the tightening in my stomach to grow even more. his head ducks down to my breasts and kisses softly the valley between them. he takes one in his mouth and the other n his hand. As his tongue plays with my erect nipple of one breast, his hand kneads the shape of the other. his mouth devours my entire right breast before letting it go and moving to the left. he does the same actions and it is now that I notice my moans. with each suck he makes I moan in pleasure. he finally releases my breast, like a babe that has finished drinking its milk, and takes his member in his hand, placing it at my entrance. I sigh in pleasure as he slowly pushes me open, only penetrating the very entrance. he slowly enters all of his large manhood. he begins to thrust in and out, slowly picking up pace. we are both close to our end. our breath quickens along with his pace. we are both about to climax, his first of the night and my 4th. I feel myself explode into the clouds with him following shortly after. he spills his seed deep into me with a loud groan. he collapse beside me, both of us spent from our climax.(****) he wraps one arm around me bring me closer," Mary I am so sorry for my behavior and I hope you can forgive me." he whispers in my ear I turn in his arms to face him and start to run my hands through his golden curls."Francis, I forgave you when you explained everything to me. I will love you forever and always, remember that." I tell him, looking into hiss beautiful blue eyes and getting lost. he kisses me and I turn back around. we fall asleep together and I smile as his hot breath tickles the side of my neck.
POV Unknown
That stupid girl lost the child. well, now I have to make sure that Mary dies, or loses her will to live.
AN: there she is. so I am splitting this chapter into two parts. I don't know if that is how the rewrite of this season will go but let me know if you like this style. and expect there to be a lot of drama and never to be board. I am so incredibly sorry for the wait I had a lot of stuff for the end of the school year and then huge writers block and I got a new computer so I am still figuring out how it works. so the chapters will continue to be up weekly but instead of updating on Saturdays or Sundays, I will update on Sundays or Mondays. my new Reign story will be updated on Fridays or Saturdays. and speaking of my new story if you like this story then you will love that one. it's something no one has done before and I hope that you all will read it and tell me what you think. the first chapter will be up at the end of this week along with the next chapter for Royaly In Love. anyway, i hope you all enjoyed and are excited for what's to come. I have a few questions first. do you want the Mary Condé relationship? what did you think of the third season of Reign? and finally, should I kill Francis? have a lovely rest of your week and may you bring joy and happiness to everyone you meet.
