Private Dining Room

I sit in my dining room, eating alone. I have just been way too busy as of late and finally have some time to breathe.

I walk in and see him sitting there not realise he has returned sorry I did not mean to disturb you as I turn

I see Elizabeth walk in and I smile a small smile. It has been a long while since I have seen her last. I rip off another piece of bread and eat it. Its alright. Please come and sit.

I walk in and take a seat and servants give me some food as I sit there quietly and eat

I can clearly see that she is a bit upset with me. I have been to many courts over the last few years and the many beautiful women I have seen have made me do much thinking. She hasnt given me what I crave.

As he looks at me why did you marry me? After the past few months, I have hardly seen you

I married you because I loved you. I have been to many courts representing the interests of my family. My uncle is the King of Tuscany. I have two cousins who are queens. I am a busy man Liz. I take a deep breathe...

you say loved are you still not in love with me as I fear my eyes get wet since he is and the only man I have and will ever love, I stand and head towards the window and look out so he can not see the pain am in

I love you Liz but you cannot give me what I want and I shall turn elsewhere to get it. Your barrenness isnt helping my family continue on for future generations. I continue to sit and eat. You should go and join Francesca in Navarre. You need a break.

I have laid with you and you still havent fonceived. Are you even able to have children? I stand up, pushing out my chair hard. I am going to court.... Instart to walk out of the hall...

I sit down and start to cry knowing my marriage is going down remembering how happy I was with him when I married him, wishing I declined and let him marry the other girl. Having no family at all have no idea what to do apart from leave here unsure where to go. I get up and leave
