Cesare sat there and watched as Francesca pleaded her innocent and he shook his head softly, he knew she was not innocent. He remembered how Madeleine was there too, he stood up and held out one of the Princess's toys that Francesca left behind "You left this whilst at your stay at my estates." he said and he turned and left to be questioned.

I can only shake my head, Really Henry? Maddy was never there. I swear on her life that she wasn't there. I lean my head back against the chair. My chest raises up and down, clearly showing my aggravation.

Henry got up from his chair.He looked at his daughter Magdalena, she was in the arms of Princess Isabella. I do not want my daughter someday come to think that I'm a murderer, for this reason, Francesca Benedetti is pardoned from death by hanging.I wrote a letter to the Pope, and I have communicated him what is happening in Navarre.His Holiness has ordered the immediate annulment of my marriage to Francesca, I command you Francesca, leave my kingdom immediately accused of treachery to the kingdom.Princess Madeleine of Albret will stay with me in Navarre and with her stepsister Princess Juana. Henry said seriously.He looked at Francesca, and sat down in his chair waiting for her response

I simply stand up, taking a deep breath and I walk over to my now former husband. I curtsy, staying that way as I speak. If that is what Your Majesty wishes for then I must obey then. All I ask of you is that you take care of our daughter and please let me see her sometime. I stand back up as tears start to fall. I wrap my hands around my neck and unclasp the string of pearls, handing them to Henry. Your sister Catalina gave me this as a wedding gift. They were your mother's. I lean in and kiss him on the forehead before turning around and walking away...

I looked at the King and I felt sorry.He was kind, handsome and friendly.Francesca seemed an educated woman, but her actions were not good.I looked at the king and smiled trying to comfort him in that situation so painful
