she reaffirmed more quietly than before as they passed the whispering maids who were talking so openly about the ASSUMED ATTRACTION of the pair. spending too much time with the prince of the blood led to whispers & whispers eventually led to more public accusations & then to pending charges of adultery that would bring mary shame & ruin the chance of her reign. why mustwomen suffer so much for even the CHANCE of the pair. spending too much time with the prince of the blood led to whispers & whispers eventually led to more public accusations & then to pending charges of adultery that would bring mary shame & ruin the chance of her reign. why must women suffe r so much fo r even the CHANCE at love??? at freedom?? oh how she wished sometimes she were a man o r some sexless immortal goddess who needn’ t answer to any man or country.
❛ everyone is watched… .to an extent, unfortunately. the price one pays for being AT COURT. or under catherine’s WATCHFUL eye. ❜ the maids soon disappeared from sight as they ventured outside the claustrophobic corridors and out into the spacious gardens. ❛ i miss my mother.. i’ve lived in france MOST of my life. it’s been more of a home t han scotland has if I really think about it. i wish to return to scotland soon, victorious in securing my position as queen. ❜
❛ i’m afraid i’m not quite ACCUSTOMED to being watched at every turn. i’m merely a prince ; no need for such INTENSE GAZE back home. so long as i do my duties & keep my men alive, people don’t seem to care too much. it’s my brother that all eyes turn to thankfully. ❜

he takes in the FRESH AIR with a deep breath, glad to be rid of the palace walls for a while. he didn’t know how long he would last in french court if he felt so suffocated. ❛ i’d love to see scotland. i hear it’s quite beautiful. ❜
