{c} I didn't want anyone dying for me and most certainly not Francis II. Suddenly I couldn't speak. What was I {c}

{c} thinking? I'd made a mistake in telling Francis II about what his mother told me. If we were going to {c}

{c} rule together wasn't trust the most important thing Francis II and I had? My eyes closed for a moment as I {c}

{c} blinked away the remaining tears. Francis II was right. I shouldn't believe what #Nostradomos was saying. {c}

{c} finally my gaze met Francis II's the smile returning to my lips as I spoke softly}} how can you sound so certain?

{{I nodded in response to Francis II's words trying to take them to heart. Push all those thoughts from my head {c}

{c} and instead focused on Francis II and I getting married tomorrow. This time tomorrow I would be married {c}

{c} to the man I love nothing should tarnish that special day. My lips brushed against Francis II's for a {c}

{c} moment as I thought about Francis II's words}} I think that would be a good idea.

{{I glanced at my reflection in the mirror on the vanity in my room. The girl that was clearly {c} (Francis II)

{c} visible when I'd arrived here seemed to be completely gone now. She had been replaced by a more {c}Francis II

{c} grown up woman. The face of a woman who was Queen no longer a child. Tonight was the night Francis II and I {c}

{c} had been waiting for since the day I got here and yet I couldn't help but feel nervous. Not for marrying Francis II {c}

{c} of course because Francis II was everything I'd ever wanted. No I was nervous for what came after the wedding {c}

{c} which I shouldn't be nervous for either. After all Francis II and I had already been together. Tonight would {c}

{c} undoubtedly be different though. My heart pounded in my chest as I even thought about it. I turned {c} (Francis II)

{c} my attention to my ladies as I asked them to give me a moment alone. I needed to relax before the {c} Francis II

{c} ceremony. Calm my nerves however I could so I didn't show it when I had to see Francis II in a moment {c}

{c} My breathing was slowly returning to normal as I heard the door click shut behind my ladies as they left me {c} Francis II

{c} to my own devices}} Francis II
