Put one of these in my askbox to see how my Muse reacts.

❝ But it’s NOT enough, Greer. I cannot ALLOW you to lose    your happiness when you were sure you would   never    find it. Castleroy …… he is your HAPPINESS ; it’s not fair    that you S U F F E R after you worked so hard for this. ❞

                            She finds herself moving forward, to the other woman.                             Because of her, dark shadows have staked claim ben-                             -eath Greer’s eyes & the prominence of her cheekbon-                             -es is a telltale sign of despair. 

               ❝ Maybe … if I just T A L K to Francis again —— ❞

[xduty]

      A small, bitter voice claws at the back of her mind.       This is your punishment, it says. You are deserving       of this. For all your S I N S. She finds she has less and       less inclination to argue. She simply wished it was a       punishment befitting her. Not her kind, loyal, undeserving       husband. Not his innocent children...              

                 ❝ There is nothing to be done, Mary. The                      decision has been made and we must all                      accept the consequences. ❞                              

                             Eyes close, breath slips from her lungs slowly.                              There's little in her voice safe dejection.

♕ ┋ ❝ xduty ❞ …

              … has been A N N O U N C E D.

Long after they were left alone, Mary stayed in her seat, kept there by a WEIGHT that settled on her    shoulders. Before, she rationalized that tears would not take away the retched PAIN her husband put there. But — now she would feel DISGUSTING if she shed just ONE in the p- -resence of someone who deserved to cry the MOST.

                                       The moment B R E A K S ; she stands.

             ❝ I tried everything, Greer. It … wasn’t enough. ❞

[xduty]

           Slender fingers are deathly white as they            grasp tight to the cold stone beneath her.            Drawn and pale, her steely gaze is fixed            to the floor, making careful study of it's            markings, the dirt that has collected, the            wear it has suffered over years of heavy            boots and delicate heels echoing off it's            surface.

                       Anything to distract the raging swirl of confusion                        and grief that fills her mind...

                                    ❝ Do not blame yourself, Mary. You have                                        done all you can. I thank you... ❞

"Lady Greer, I didn’t realize you were 

there. How was your honeymoon?”

[xduty]

"It was... enjoyable. Thank you very much. What have missed being away from court?"

[forscots-blog]

"Greer this is a waist of my time. It’s done. Unless you can give me a good enough reason please leave me alone.” 

[xduty]

"My husband is protestant..." It is out before she has a chance to catch it, desperation creeping into her voice, although she is certain rumour has spread by now. "Your Majesty, I implore you. Do not let them hurt him..."

[mmeserpentarchive-blog]

"That is twice in under a month.  The shock is so great I might          have to sit down.”

[xduty]

"I am glad you find me at least slightly unpredictable. Mary has advised me of your... escape routes, shall we say. I was hoping I might plead with you to share your secrets..."

[xduty]

"I do not have to do anything Lady Greer, and why are you so worried anyway? Your husband is a good Catholic." 

[xduty]

"Because I wish you to know that not all of your nobles support such a ruling. No matter their faith..."

        Leith had to resist the urge to scoff at her remark of knowing him. Instead he just tried his best to smile at her but that didn’t really work. “You know the servant. Not the solider or the untitled nobody.”

        “Your husband did this to you all. What man would endanger his wife and children. He would have at least have fled the country.” Leith muttered under his breath. “I’m not a messenger Greer and I’m not a servant anymore. I don’t take orders from any noble.”

[xduty]

Perhaps he is right. She does not know this man before her and she hates the wrenching in her gut that tells her that is her own bidding. Where was the man she could be honest, open with? 

She turns to find her husband. Aloyisus stands tall, proud and greets Leith with a nod, nothing more. Greer reaches for her husband and meets his passionate embrace with a fire of her own. She prays this is not their last kiss, but she will make it count if it is to be. She gives no care to Leith's presence as he gives no care for hers.

She will fetch the children herself. Smiles softly and takes their hands as she leads them from the garden to the chambers. She talks quietly, listens to their day with interest, tells them about hers. She will not alarm them if she does not have to. She will keep them calm. Her husband would expect that of her and she will not fail him, not now. She wishes she could be there as they condemn him but this is where she must be.

Aloyisus returns, pale and drawn, as she takes his hand, away from the praying children. "What is to become of us?" Her steely gaze falls to Leith.

[thecastlekitchenboy-blog-blog]

        “His children are none of my concern, I am simply obeying my king and asking your husband to do the same. He should have thought about situations like this before he converted.”

[xduty]

She's silent for a long time after his outburst and her gaze does not falter. "No. You are not that cruel. I know you..."

"Very well. I shall fetch my husband. Will you send a guard to fetch the children? At least let us be together when we are to fall..."

[thecastlekitchenboy-blog-blog]

        “I’m not asking you, I’m asking for your husband to go before the king and do what is required by law.”

[xduty]

"He will tell the truth, Leith. He cannot hide, even to safe himself. No matter how I beg him. Not for me... I... I made my choice. But the children, Leith..."

[xduty]

*writes on forehead* heart breaker

There is nothing she can say. Nothing.He is heard it all before and it will neverbe enough...

              She broke her own heart too. She's trying to                                fix it. But if did break...
