After having traverse by Armand's side the royal palace's immense domain and then the wild countryside, seeing nothing else tha grass and trees, Emilie percieve the forest before them, she trot until it's entrance, marvelled as she discover it's carpet of bluebells, her eyes bright with admiration, she turn to him and tell him.

Here we are ! my friend hadn't lie to me, it's even much more beautiful than I excepted, all theses flower in a forest, it's look nearly irreal, enchanting.

She smile sofly and look at his face with a dreamy air on hers.

They ride through the beautiful forest as they then continue their conversation. Yes well my love men like that are better off left to others anyways as they had no idea just how special you are as I do. Had I been promised to another woman, but have child and love with you there would be nothing to stop me from finding a way to be with you love. I know that in marriage the couple sdrift apart time to time, but I feel as you do that our love will always shine through in the end.
I do look forward to meeting with your friends as I am sure they will be suprised to learn of our whirlwind few days of falling in love. I have yet to tell my sister for i know she will suprised but also very pleased as she had been teasing me for many months about finding a nice woman and settling down.
I do know of Cardinal Wosley as we spoke briefly in the Great Hall as he also introduced me to King Henry. He was also nice enough to show me to my very nice apartments at the palace. I would be glad to meet with him again and if he is a friend to you then he shall be a friend to me as well. I smile at her lovingly as we continue to ride through the forest. My thoughts wander making me smile of this seemingly now bright future the two of us shall share. The day is beautiful with a blue sky and a cool breeze. The birds sing as a few small deer cross our paths.

[b]Savouring the odours of the forest, mixture of pine, sap, resin and delicate scent of the bluebells in the cool breeze, she look at Armand with love in her eyes while they continue their conversation and nodd.

It's true, I think that if he really wanted to, he would had do everything for marry me instead of her, especially since he have a child of me, he probably don't loved me as much as he told, so, even if I had been very sad when he have leave, I don't regret anything, especially now that I have find you, my soulmate, the man of my life and with you I am the most happy woman of the world.

She smile warmly, her eyes shining with joy, her golden curls dancing in the wind.

I look forward for it very much, your majesty, I am so happy and proud of you being my love that I want to introduce to all my friends, they will also be surprised but also very happy for me that I have find real love. I also look forward encounter your sister and you family and friends, all the people that you love. Ah you yet know Thomas ! he is so kind and welcoming with new people who arrive at court, I think that you and him will become friends indeed and I hope so. Did you yet encounter many people at court ?

She look around with a dreamy air feeling delighted of this wonderful horse riding with her love.[b]

Me and Achilles trot slowly next to Emilie as she speaks to me I am still so intoxicated by her beauty, by her posture, the way she speaks, her curly locks blowing in the wind. So many things of this woman that are so attractive that make me fall more in love with her with each passing moment.
Yes well I hate to say this but must agree with you for he must not love you as much or possibly he is just a coward afraid to follow his heart isntead of his brain as many man have this problem. I follow my head most of the time until now as with you I follow my hear and open it fully to you as I have never before with another woman. It does scare me a little as we both have so much more to learn of each other. I am most assured that you shall not break this heart that I have presented to you just as I shall never do anything of that nature with your heart. Forgive me my love this is all so new and fresh to me that it is both exciting and scary in a way. i have never given so much of myself to another before. You make me the happiest man in the world as I can not wait to introduce you to the people of Italy as one day I beleive you may be the most beloved and respected Queens ever to rule over Italy. You have nothing to regret as it least it gave you your beautiful daughter as she loves your very much and is such a happy child. What would you think of her becoming a princess in the future? I know there is much to happen before then but just a though for you to think of as I would love nothing more than to bestow that title to her.
I am most excited to meet the ones you are close with here and yes the Cardinal was very polite and helpful to me. I have met very few since my arrival. However I have had soem very interesting conversations. I was able to speak with Alfonsina Garcia as I do not know if you know of her but she is the daughter of one of my dearest friends. I wa shappy to have the opportunity to speak with her and her husband.

Feeling as in a daydream, more and more admirative and fascinated by Armand, Emilie look at Armand with shining eyes and she nodd.

Yes, I think that he have mostly follow his brain instead of his heart, by fear of his family and willing to get the better position possible, even if the price of it is to marry a woman whom he don't love.

Her face take a serious air and she listen to him attentively as he confide her his feeling.

You don't have to apologize, I appreciate mostly your honesty and the fact to can talk with you openly is for big apart what made me fall in love with you. And I understand you, myself I am the most happy of all this marvellous story that began between us and at the same time, I am feared because it's very sudden and mean so much, it's mean all my life and it was totally unexpected and it's is so much happiness that at times I wonder if it is a daydream !

She smile softly and shake her head.

But my heart know that it's the more true and sincere love that I ever had, that you will never break it and I always follow my heart as I am a passionte person, so I am delighted to follow it !

The air tender and moved, looking straight in his eyes, she add.

And I promess that I will never break you heart but at the contrary that I will try to make you happy of my best because you are my soulmate and it's would break my own heart to see you unhappy, especially if it's because of me, because I love you very much.

Feeling her heart full of joy in imagining their future, she smile.

I can't wait to encounter your people, I will have many things to learn for become a queen, but I will do my best for being the better queen possible for make the grade to such a immense honor.

She nodd, thinking to her beloved daughter.

Indeed, it's thank to this death love story that I have such a wonderful daughter so I regret nothing, the worse nor the better part, all this belong to the past.

She smile radiantly.

My present and my future, it's with you and only you, my love.

She feel immense happiness and emotion as he propose to make her daughter princess, can hardly refrain tears of joy.

Oh my love, you are so kind to us and I would like it so much !, being a princess would be a immense honor for her and it's would make me so happy to see her become a princess, especially seen the wonderful things that it's would mean for her future, when she will be in age for marry !

Thinking to their future with a dreamy air on her face.

I would like that when we will marry, you become her father legal and she would take your name like me and also the tittle of princess. Of course, she will remain aware of who is her blood father, but this way she will have you as legal and present father who will raise her with me and she will surely consider you as her father of heart and this way, she will not feel different of her siblings.

She smile happily.

I am delighted that people close to me encounter my soulmate and I look forward encounter people close to you to you too. It take time to encounter people and you arrived recently, but this court is friendly and I am not surprised that you yet did encounte nice people ... Alfonsina Garcia ? I have cross her around court but had never really meet her ... can I ask who is her father ?

Yes well as a man I can understand where he comes from in trying to further his and his families status. Being raised in Royalty I suppose there was never any need for me to marry to better my status other than to make unions that would help two countries.
Still however I would follow my heart in this type of a situation and relinguish my title for that love if need be. Fortunately I have been blessed to be where I am this day yours forever and for always. The one thing I do love about you is the way we can be open with one another and share our true feelings. I do hope things stay this way as well.
As we shall have quite a great life together if we are simply that open and honest and love each other as much as we can. I know you will not break my heart as I trust you with not only my heart but my life and also the future of my, as well as my great grandfathers name and my country.
you shall be quite a Queen as being brought up in the matter you have it will all come so very natural to you as Italy will be blessed to have someone such as you as queen as your daughter is blessed to have you as a mother, and me my wife, lover, best friend, and soul mate.
She speaks of me becoming her daughters legal father which pleases me so very much as happiness flows through my very being as having that type of responsibility and her trusting so much in me nearly brings a tear to my eye.
Yes I would love that to become her legal father so that her like you shall enjoy all that her new title comes with. Well Alfonsina's father was a good man and a very dear friend of mine as well as my fathers. He served Italy well. I have not met many people as I have not been in country very long which makes our relationship so much more special.

She listen attentively to Armand as he talk about his vision of marriage and she nodd and smile softly.

And I am most blessed to have you as mine and to be yours too forever, fortunately that you have await for finding the true love until now, following your heart instead of accept the arranged marriages that other people did advice you to do, because it's thank to it that we can belong to each others fully now that we have encounter.

Feeling delighted that his vision of their future match so well with hers, she answer him, so take in their conversation, that she nearly forget everything around.

I do hope too that we will always be able to talk that openly with each others because indeed we will have a wonderful life together if we can always remain honest to each others and love each others wholeheartedly. I trust you too fully and I am ready to follow you in this new life together that began, wherever it will lead me because I feel that it will be the most beautiful adventure of my life and to encounter your people and some day by rule it with you, always by your side.

She smile, still feeling as in a daydream from all this happiness and nodd.

Yes, I guess that it will come naturally and I will be my best for gain your people and family's love, to be as useful as I can to you and your country and bring you healty and beautiful children and I will be most happy because I will live with you, my king, my soulmate, bestfriend, lover and husband to be.

She feel moved by his answer about Olympe as it's exactly what she wished would happen between her soulmate and her daughter.

It's important for me that you and her become daughter and father, of course I don't intend to lie to her about her origines, I will do my best for she can recall of her blood father, try to preserve her link with her paternal grandmother to whom she is attached and allow her to be in contact with her father or his family if ever she want it. But I think that it shouldn't prevent you and her from having a true daughter and father relationship and I want her to consider herself as full-fledgedly member of this new family that will build together and to be a true sister to her future siblings, because I want her to be the most happy.

She listen attentively him as he answer her about Alfonsina's father.

I would had like to encounter him some day, from what you tell me, he was surely a precious man. Indeed, I understand that you hadn't the time to encounter many much people here, myself I have many friends here, but our relationship is the most unique that I has ever had in my life ! if I except the relationship with my daughter, but it's totally different.

Yes as if I were to marry another and then having just encountered and fallen for you it would be quite a controversy however I would do everything I could to ensure that I ended up with you and only you. She speaks of ruling our country together and being open always with each other. Yes that would please me very much as I hope we always remain this way as open and loving as we are now for many years to come. As she speaks of her daughter I smile.
Yes I look forward to spending more time with your daughter so that we may get to know each other better. I would never wish for you to lie to her about her about her blood relatives. I want her to know of her past as family is always important. The only time it would be a problem for me is if her father comes and causes trouble with me or with you. That I shall not stand for.
She speaks of Alfonsina's father. Yes well he passed away about a year ago. So unfortunately you two shall not ever meet. I was happy to learn of his daughters new marriage and happiness. I have given her and her husband an invitation to come and visit us once we return to Italy as this is her homeland.

Me too, if ever I was engaged or courting with someone else, I would hadn't hesitate to leave him for be with you, I would had do it as respectuously and delicately possible, but seen the unique love that unite us since our encounter, I would had do anything for end up with you and only you.

She smile sofly while smellind deeply the invigatoring forest's odours, her horse walking slowly.

Me too, I hope that we will always remain as honest, open and loving that we are now and even that our relationship will developp and grow even more strong with time and I will do my best for it.

She smile happily as he talk about wanting to get to know her daughter better and telling that he have no problem with the fact that she could keep have some contacts with her blood paternal family, then her face take a serious air after he told about his fear that her daughter's blood father could try to create discord in their couple and she frown and nodd.

Me either, I couldn't stand it and in this case, I would tell him calmly but firmly that he have nothing to gain in doing it because it's you the man of my life and my soulmate and that my love story with him is death since a long time and that he would have better to take care of his daughter who still love and miss her papa rather than to lost his time for a lost cause.
But, honestly, I really don't think that it could ever happen, it's him who have leave me and the main reason that he did give is that he wanted me for being free to marry with another one since himself was engaged to another lady. So if he was honest about wanting my happiness even with another man than him and if he still have any affection for me notably for being his child mother, he should be happy for me to see me get married and become a queen and also happy and proud to see his daughter become a princess.

Feeling lighter and happier as she think to the first part of what he told, she tell him softly.

I would be very happy to see the two of you, the two persons that I love the most get to know each others better, create solid links and end up by love each others as daughter and father and I will do my best for facilitate it. I could start by introduce to her officially for create the contact, then I could maybe leave the room for let you spend some time alone with her, so you could more easely talk and get to know each others better, in my presence, she would maybe concentrate her attention on me.

She smile happily.

I would be happy to encounter her and her husband since they are your friends.

Her words of doing the same for me if she had been betrothed pleased me as it seems the more we speak the more her words meant to me. She speaks of her daughters father. It pleases me that we both see eye to eye on the topic of her father. I would wish nothing more that for your daughter to spend as much time with her father and get to know him and his family very well. For she will always be a part of him and of his family. I do hope that he would take things the way that you tell me, to be happy for you and for his daughter. However we must not burden ourselves with this as you say we may never have to worry about the situation until it presents itself if it ever does.
She speaks of her daughter and he we may get to know one another better. I agree love as it would please me very much to spend time with her as you have described. As some time alone would be good as i hope that she has enough comfort in my presence to allow me to spend this time with her without upsetting her as i know she is quite attached to her wonderful mother. I look over at her smiling as our horses walk slowly next to the other down the path in the forest. I wished that I had packed a picninc for this journey as the thought of it had escaped me when I left the palace to the stables. I look at her as her curly locks blow about in the wind with love in my eyes for her.

Emilie nodd, a serious air on her face.

Yes I think that we will not have to burden about it, the only thing that reallu make me worried about him, it's Olympe, he seem to have forget her since our rupture and I fear that he will continue this way and that she will never again have any contact with him. About his family, she have her grandmother and I think that I can make sure that they will remain in contact even at distance and I do hope that she can encounter her aunts some day, I mean to be introduced to them officially, maybe later, when she will be bigger .

She smile to him softly, feeling her cheeks hots and her heart beating faster as she look in his eyes.

Oh you know, my daughter is very sociable and extrovert and she yet have many friends ! so I think that it will not be a matter for her to remain alone with you, especially if you play with her, it would make her feel comfortable with you and get a like in you soon.

This saddens me to hear my love as everyone should have the opportunity to know their family. It saddens me that he would act in this matter towards his flesh and blood. Perhaps he shall see the error in his ways and make himself a part of her life again. I shall be that father figure for her then and show her love that a father should show his daughter. My gaze returns to her eyes as we continue our stroll through the forest the sounds of nature all around us.
I long to be near her again as we were earlier to hold her in my arms yet again. Never had I had such strong feelings for a woman. Yes she seems very good natured and is quite a breath of fresh air. I must say I smile when I see her as she is one of the most social and happiest children i have encountered. I shall play with her indeed. Does she like dolls? I know a doll maker back in Milan who is quite talented as he makes doll houses as well. Do you think she would enjoy such things. I fear she shall be a very spoiled little princess indeed. I laugh as I take my canteen and undo the top taking a drink of the cool spring water.

Emilie nodd, the air thoughtful.

Yes I hope that after reflexion, he will realize all that he will lost with this behaviour and will decide to enter in contact with her again and take care of her. Anyway, I am sure that you will be a wonderful father for her.

She look in his eyes with love, smiling softly in thinking to their romantique moment near to the stream and to the present happiness to be in his compagny in this wonderful forest, feeling her cheeks getting warm, her eyes shine with joy as he talk about her daughter, amazed that he have yet catch so well Olympe's personnality.

Yes she is really very good natured, it's a true little ray of sun full of life, social, curious of everyone and of everything and also soft and tender. Oh yes she ADORE dolls and dollhouse !, she would be overjoyed to have a new doll and would enjoy playing with it very much . You know, she spend most of her time in playing with her dolls, and invente many different games around them and she is always allright for play, so it will not be difficult for you to start a game with her !

Her face get a serious air as she wonder about his family's reaction to Olympe's arrival in their family.

About Olympe, I wonder if your family could react badly to her arrival in your family, since she isn't your blood daughter and isn't born from a married couple.

Yes well as the time passes I am sure he shall return and wish to know his daughter. She tells me of Olympe's love of dolls which delights. Yes well my sister has a collection of hundreds of dolls as we do have some of the best doll makers in the world. I shall make sure she is presented with one of these fine dolls upon her arrival in Italy. Yes it shall be quite easy for me to start a conversation with her or a game as I do look forward to it. I look to her still feeling as if i am floating upon a cloud spending this time with her. She speaks of my family's acceptance of Olympe. Yes well do not worry about that as I really have no family besides my sister and she will accept Olympe with open arms. Do not worry love as she will be accepted with open arms as well by Italy. I can see where you would see there being some controversy, but pay no mind love. I am hoping we may get her the best tutor so that she may learn to speak both Italian and perhaps French fluently being that is where your family is from. I would like someday to go back and visit France as Im sre you would as well?

Emilie smile, the air amazed as he describe her the immense dolls collection of his sister, imagining the delight in Olympe's eyes when she will see it.

Hundred ! wow ! when she will see it, Olympe will think that she is in a dream ! you are very kind, she will surely be delighted to have got a doll from this collection. I can't know it by advance, but I am sure that the two of you will get well together ! Since you seem to sincerely want to get to know her better and become her father and herself will surely be very happy of this attention and welcome you in her heart with joy.

She still look at his beautiful face, feeling as in heaven in his compagny.

Oh, then I look forward introduce Olympe to her new aunt and since you know must know your people feelings, I think that they will accept her too, and if only a little minority of people are more reticent, I will not mind, because after all you can't please to everyone ... I hope so too and I will do my best for she get it, es I have always want her for have the better education possible especially since she will become princess and it's foundamental that she learn to speak italian fluently.

She smile softly and answer him, her eyes shining with joy.

In fact, she yet talk french fluently, as well as english, because I always talk with her in french since her birth when we are alone, it's a way for me to transmit her my french origines, she have learn english in talking with her governess, nannies and all the people that surround her since her birth. Myself, I seriously project to take lessons of italian, because I must admit that I don't talk any word of italian.

Her face grow serious as he talk about going in France, since she project to go to visit her mother and family whom she hadn't see since nearly four years.

It's funny that you talk about it, because I justly project to go in France in a little while, for visit my mother ... it's delicate because I hadn't see them since years ago and she don't know much things about my life here and I have keep many things secrets ... I will have very much things to reveal to her, and to introduce her to my daughter and I have no idea about her reaction and I am very nervous about it ...

She reflect and add.

If she react positively, I am going to talk to her about our relationship and I hope that we will about to project a journey there for introduce you later, when we will be officially engaged ... but in the meanwhile we can take a journey in France at the royal court, it's could be nice.

Yes well i look forward to making sure your daughter gets quite an education. i am happy to hear that she speaks french fluently. My mother insisted upon me learnign foreign languages stating that once I was King it would be very important to understand others words. She seems to have been right about that as I have used my knowlegde of foreing languages many a time.
She speaks of the strained relationship between her and her mother. Yes I do hope you do see your mother and she greets and accepts you and Olympe with open arms. I shall one day like to meet her once the two of you have reconciled and have developed a relationship. A trip to the French courts would be interesting as I am sure there are many things there you can show me as you have shown me here. I wink at her sweetly and smiling as we continue our stroll through the forest. I must say love i am getting quite hungry perhaps we should have packed things for a picnic? Perhaps we may return to the castle in a bit?

Emilie feel moved in thinking to her family and to her birth country .

[color=violet]I do hope so too, my mother's absence in my life let an emptiness in my heart, so it's really important for be to build again a link with her, especially at the moment where I start a beautiful story of love with you that is going to change my life for good, if I have again a relationship with my mother and maternal family, then I will be fully happy, in all the aspect of my life. [color]

She smile in thinking to return in France and visit the royal palace with him.
I would like that very much, my love, I must tell that I don't know french court as well as english one because I had never live there at full times, but it's a part of my origines, since it's there that my father have live and rule this country and it's there were my stepsister Claude rule now.

She giggle as he wink at her, then she nodd.

Yes, I understand, indeed we should maybe had prepare a picnic, but on the other hand the weather is still a bit cold and it isn't ideal for take a very long walk with picnic, I think that we arrive to the forest's edge anyway, so we can turn around and return at the palace the same way and maybe once returned at palace, we could take the meal together somewhere ?, if you have the time, what do you think of it ?

She speaks of her mother and family as I look at her nodding. Yes love I beleive you are right as making things right between your mother and other family as well as the start of our love affair shall be reason to be very happy. I am sure that your family shall welcome you back with open arms and that the emptiness you feel without them in your life shall finally be filled. Im sure your mother shall be overjoyed once she meets Olympe. Yes I would not mind visiting France again if this should please you. That is once you are comfortable and ready to go. I would like to meet your steps sister and ruler you say now of France. i had not realized how cold it indeed it still was as I supoose her keeping me warm with the love we have been sharing it has escaped my attention. I then take the reins of Achilles turning him around back towards the palace. Yes my love I would love to have dinner with you as nothing would please me more. You just let me know where it is you wish to share our dinner and I shall be there. He frowns playfully at her as he knws they shall soon depart for a bit. I shall miss you every second I am away from you love. The palace and stables come into view in the distance.

Emilie get thoughtful in thinking to her family, since her last exchanges by letter with her mother, she feel less nervous and more confident about visit her with her daughter.

Yes, indeed, I would be the most happy if I have my family back in my life, I can't know how she will react before to be there, but I am sure to have take the right decision and since she seem conscious that many things must have happen in my life since three years we hadn't see each others and tell that she understand that I can have choice to hide a part of my private life, so I rather feel like it will go well, even if it will probably a shock for her to learn that she have a granddaughter of whom she did ignore the existance.

She smile softly and add

I also feel that my daughter will soften her and gain her like soon because she do this effect with most people we encounter ! ... Yes I would like to visit France with you some day, maybe go at court and encounter the king and the queen

She turn Bucéphale around toward the palace and walk in this direction by his side, she smile warmly to him.

I would love it very much too, my love, well, we can go at the Great Hall, it's a magnificent area of the palace and it's there that most people go for dinner, I heard about a Side Room intimate and cozy, it could be a good place for a romantique dinner. What do you think of it ?

She feel sad at the idea to be far from him for some time.

I will miss you everyone second too and think to you always ... as you know, I will soon go to visit my mother for some days and I guess that yourself will have to go back in Italy, without me, before we can be together for good.

She look at the palace that appear at horizon.

Their horses trot close to the stables as i look lovingly at her and speak. Yes Olympe is such a sweet child as she shall make your family fall in love with her I am sure of it! After this everything else will fall into place I am sure of it. i would like to encounter the french courts if nothing more to merely intorduce myself to the King and Queen in a show of friendship and possibly help build relations between France and Italy. She speaks to me of a romantic dinner and then of her leaving me to France and my return back to Italy which the thought does sadden me as I had not expected to return to Italy alone, however this seems to be her wish for the time being so I shall respect it. Yes indeed a romantic dinner for two by candlelight sounds like a heavenly idea to me my love. As far as you leaving for France and me for Italy it does sadden me. I do not wish to be away from you, however I see that this must be. I dismount my horse giving the riens to on e of the young stable boys.

She smile softly at him, looking at him lovingly.

Yes, it will be a magical night, my love. I would be honoured to participate to build strong relationship between France and Italy and I will do my best for maintain it as queen.

As they reach the stable, she understand in his words that in fact, he don't projected to return in Itally alone, so she fastly dismount at her turn, give her horse to a groom, join him and embrace him.

Oh no, it isn't my wish, my love, I just thinked that you could have to retun in Italy, but you don't ahve to, I want you for stay, and us for go in Italy together, as I would be so sad to be separate of you for long time.

She look in his eyes with passion, smile and add.

And about France, as I said I think that it's better that the first time, I go to visit my mother alone with Olympe, but I have a idea, we can together at french royal palace for encounter the King and the queen, and while you can talk of affairs with the king François, I can go alone with Olympe at Fontanay castle, it isn't too far from court. If the things don't go well, I will leave immediatly and return to royal palace, join you with Olympe and if everyone go well, I will propose to my mother to invite you to join us and send you a invitation. This way, I would have the happiness to reconciliate with my mother, introduce her my daughter, but also announce them our love and introduce you to them, officially, what do you think of it ?

She lean her head to his shoulder and add.

I think that a romantic dinner for two would be wonderful, indeed.[/b]

Yes well I guess it just never crossed my mind of my return to Italy as I have been in what seems like a dream as of late. However I must return to Italy for a short spell as there are several things I must tend to. I have not been keeping up with the duties of my title as well as I should have im afraid. I do hope that shall everything go well with your family that you shall send for me and I shall join you and Olympe in France at the french courts. Then from there shall you reconcile with your mother than I shall like to meet her and your other family as well so that I may properly ask for your hand in marriage. She comes close to me wrapping her arms around my neck and pulling me close to her as I gaze lovingly into her eyes with much passion and desire as well as love.
She leans her head to my shoulder as I enjoy our moment, our loving embrace. I wrap my arms around the bottom of her waist and hold her tightly to me missing her already. I move my head and lean in close to her kissing her soft lips enjoying the softness of her lips as well as the feel of her soft curls upon my face. I then look into her eyes. Yes a very romantic dinner with just the two of us sounds indeed delightful. As nothing would please me more than to have you with me, with some good food, wine, and candlelight. I smile holding her close in my arms knowing that in a few moments we shall have to leave each others side until this evening.

She sigh sadly, she guessed that he would have to leave for Italy without her at last for a time for assure his duties of king, but she had hope that he wouldn't had to for a second, she feel yet sad at the idea to being separate of him.

Yes, I understand, you have to assure your duties of king, I guessed that you would had to, while refusing to think to it too much, I have hope that you wouldn't have to for a second, but I know that you have to ... I yet miss you just in thinking to our separation, I hope that God will allow us to be reunited again before long.

Thinking to her family with a mixture of happiness and nervousity, she answer him, looking in his eyes with love.

Thank you for your good wishs, I hope so too, it's really important that I reconciliate with my mother and family before to start a new life with you. I will rather go there with Olympe while you are in Italy because seeing them will allow me to have my mind taken in something of important for forget your absence and of course I will hold you informed of how the things have go with them.

She feel huge happiness and emotion rising in her in thinking to him asking for her hand to her family, smile, she tighthen her embrace and add.

Yes, I think it's would be good like that, I would join french court and see my stepsister, introduce her my daughter in waiting for you join us, then return at Fontanay with you and introduce you to my family, officially, I feel that this moment will be one of the happier of my life and that I will never forget it !

She join his kiss with passion, savouring the feeling of his soft and warm lips and of his strong and tender arms around her, her emotion even increased by the idea that they will soon have to separate until this evening and that later, they will be separate for a long time while he assure his duties of king in Italy and herself do something of important in trying to reconciliate with her family.
Her eyes shine as she think to the romantique dinner that they will have, she smile softly and answer him with a dreamy air on her face.

Nothing would please me more either than to have a good dinner alone with you, in the beauty of the candlelights. Does the side room of the Great hall sound good to you ?, my love.

Yes my love it saddens me as well to go to Italy without you as I shall miss you every second that we are apart. I think it may be good however for I have plenty of work to catch up on once I return as you shal visit your family so we will have things to keep us occupied as time shall fly fast and then we shall be together again. I do hope that you shall wirte to me often to keep me informed of the progress that is made with your family. I can see that she is pleased as I speak of formally asking her family for the privelege to make her my fiancee, and future wife and queen.
She tightens her embrace to me as I wrap my arms tighter upon her waist enjoying such a very intimate and loving moment between us as I am sure I shall think back on times like these and smile once we are forced to part. I do look forward to meeting your family as well as experiencing the french courts. As it shall be one of the most important times of my life as well my love. She speaks of our dinner. Yes my love that sounds absolutely perfect as it shall be quite an intimate setting having dinner alone with you. The room you speak of off of the Great Hall. I release my embrace of her and take both of her hands into mine and bring them to my lips kissing them softly. I shall meet you there in a few hours my love. I lean in and kiss her lips once more. I then release her hands and turn making my way inside the palace to my chambers.
