célébrations de Noël / Christmas party

I walked into the room, My eyes glanced around at room and all of the lights shone and twinkled just like the stars at night, The food looked and smelled devine and everything sparkled and glowed it was feeling very much like christmas at court and it was nice to see everyone happy and merry.
I walked past my ladies and smiled they looked beautiful in blue and gold, I had them specially made just for the festive season.
I saw that Madeline was already seated she looked beautiful and a true princess I could not wait to speak to her, I was a bit worried as the last time we spoke she was upset that James had married Mary and Madeline was still not wed, I had hoped my husband had found a suitor for our beautiful daughter.
I walked towards Madeline and kissed her on both cheeks.
Merry christmas daughter, so glad to see you at our christmas celebrations .
I took to my seat and waited for my husband to enter.

I clapped my hands for the music to play and a soft sound of music started to play around the hall and then the nobles started to dance I smiled as I watched them dance.
Secretly I wished I could dance like I did before but in my frail state I could not dance as I did before, so I took joy in watching others dance.
I turn to see Isabelle De Guise taking to her seat, I send over a servant asking her if she would care to join me and keep me company while we dine.

I arrived back at Versailles and went to the party and saw my mother and I went to her.
"My lady mother I have returned to Versailes sorry for the long time away.

Daenerys arrived at the party as she looks around and smiles at everyone and she walks to a chair and sits on the chair and she looks at the party and she was feeling uncomfortable on this party, but she wants to keep the peace with France and italy

I attended to my queen sitting on a stool behind her as the festivities for Yuletide were truly underway. I hadn't seen neither heard from my mother in over a year and queen Claude was all that I really had left now. It was hard to be merry when everything seemed unclear.

I have arrived in France for for the Christmas celebrations without my wife. I do not even know where she is.
People immediately start bowing and saying "Your Majesty" as I walk by them. Maybe I shall have fun this lovely night.

Marguerite had been summoned by one of her ladies in waiting. "Your majesty your husband has come here and is awaiting your imminent arrival"

my lady said out of breath and with flushed red cheeks. Immediately I dressed hurrying to the celebrations to see if what she said was true. Indeed it was and I was most happy for this.

I turn around and see my beautiful Marguerite dressed in finest French dress. I proceed to walk up to her and with a smile, kiss her sweetly on her lips.
Hello my sweet love. I'm so glad that you made it.

Marguerite was caught off guard by the public affection nonetheless I was very glad that he was here. "I am happy to see my king do you plan for us to stay long."

In truth, I was feeling nervous to leave France behind and start my life in Navarre as a queen I tried my best to hide this.

Only for fora short while longer. Then we will leave for Navarre to rule together and create our family.

I kiss her softly again and take hold of her hand, leading her to the dance floor.

I hold both of his hands and kiss him gently on both cheeks. Tell me of the Italian court, did the treat you well and with respect?
I wave my hand to him to take a seat.

The Italian court is different.

"It was strange very much different to here in France.
