Send a 👫and I’ll write four headcanons I have about our muse’s relationship
One of his earliest memories of Mary is of a time the inhabitants of the royal nursery reenacted the nativity story. A very squirmy three year old Alexandre, who was meant to be portraying the Christ child, refused to sit still and ended up spilling the pretend frankincense in Mary’s lap.
They were never close during her time in France, mainly because of the age difference, but Henri retained an idealised image of Mary after she returned to Scotland
Henri would’ve gladly offered Mary refuge in France, both because of his messiah complex and in the hopes of regaining the allegiance of his Catholic citizens.
News of Mary’s assassination rocked Henri’s already fragile mental health. He had recurring nightmares of her beheading, but in his dreams, instead of the woman he knew Mary to be, she was the teenage Queen of his youth.
