''I am sure that it was not easy at all but it is good that you have told her....And you see everything is fine as I told you.Of course that she accepted you,you are her daughter no metter what have happened in past you are still her daughter and Olympe is her granddaughter''
I squeezed her hand gently.
''I am so happy for you and so glad that your mother and Olympe get along well like it should be''
I said honestly.

Looking at her curiously, she nodd.
Yes, you was totally right about it, I did doubt, I did fear and I thank for having reassure me and encourage me to take the risk to tell her everything, you a great friend to me ! Now I know for sure that it was the only thing to do and I don't regret at all, at the contrary, it's wonderful to have her back in my life and to form this new family with her and OIympe !
She squeeze her hand back.
I am very happy of it too, I feel so serene with my little family, all the bad things of the past are behind me now and I don't think to them anymore !

Emilie feel moved as Mary tell her that she is a great friend for her too, smiling softly to her and she nodd.
Indeed it did worth it very much, I feel much better without secret anymore, at last not for a person as much important in my life than my mother and I am sure that she must feel better too, she seem very happy anyway. You do deserve to be happy very much too, my dear and I wish you the best for your future with the duke, it's would make me happy too very much . She glance at Olympe and is reassured in seeing her playing peacefully close to them under at tree shadow, placing delicately her dolls on the grass and talking with them, seeming to be lost in her own little girl's universe, then she turn again to Mary and smile radiantly as she question her about Armand.
It's funny that you question me about him, you have a very good feminine intuition, because it's precisely that my second important news, I have recieve a letter of him and it's good news, he hadn't forget me as I did feared seen his very long silence, as you can imagine ...
She take a deep inspiration and explain her.
In fact there has been a rebellion in a county of his kingdom and he had to do his duty of king of course, he probably had to stay there for resolve this problem for a very long time, all the time that his silence have last ... he tell that he still love me, want to marry me and want to see me again soon, I have propose him to join me and my mother and daughter at Eastnor castle.

I smiled to her kindly.
''I think that we both deserve to be finally happy.''
I said with a small smile.Then I I closed my eyes for a moment when I felt the sweet smell of roses that filled the garden and took a deep breath.
''That is really a good news even if I was sure that he didn't forgot you.But I can imagine how you felt it was indeed very long silence and only explanation was that he don't care about you any more.''
I said as I opened my eyes slowly.
''I do hope that everything is well now in his county...But yes he needed to stay it is his duty of king.Oh I am so glad to here that he feelings are the same about you and that nothing had change since he left.Do you still have feelings for him?''
I asked softly.
''I do hope that he will come soon to you''

Emilie nodd with enthousiasm smile broadly as she feel so happy that they both are at the beginging of the wonderful adventure of a real love.
Yes we are my dear !
She get serious again as she recall of the sadness she felt from believing that the man she love and project to marry with had simply forget her, she nodd.
Indeed, it's what I did start to believe, even if I have never totally lost hope.
She nodd.
Yes, I feel the same feelings for him than before he left, I love him, I am sure that he is the love of my life, I just really need to see him again soon for find him again and be reassured after this so long time without seeing each others, thinking that I had lost him. And I am very happy and reassured that he do still love me and want to marry me. I do hope that everything go well in Italy now too.
She sigh and nodd again.
I hope so too very much, I need to feel that he is mine and here for me again.

Emilie nodd.
Indeed, I need to have him by my side for get really reassured about his feelings, intentions and projects.
She sigh, now it's many days that this letter arrived and his absence feel even more heavy that before and days feel like years to her and she feel getting melancolical.
I wish he is yet in a boat for England, I hope that he will arrive before automn ... I feel like these ladies and princesses of the tales of my childhood who did wait for the return of their love's return ... always waiting for his return each day even after years of absence ...
She recall of this song of her childhood that she love so much about the lady dreaming of her love's eternal return for ever ... She then glance at Olympe seeing her still taken in the same game, this view make her lost her melancolia, she smile and turn again to Mary and ask her.
Anyway as long as I hadn't see him again nor recieve new letter, I can't tell you more about it ... tell me about you and Royce, what happened since my departure ?
She look at her with a curious air.

I smiled at her softly and I noticed a sadness in her eyes.
''I am sure that he will be here before the autumn...But in such love stories they always come back and after that they lived happily ever after''
I looked around at the beautiful roses and smiled when he asked me about Royce.
''You know I told him about my doubts in faith and I think that I hurt him....He is good catholic and he thinks that if I am not believer that our marriage could be invalid...But he was very kind to me these days and he helped me get through my sister's death... I don't think I could survive this without him.''
I said and sighed

She sigh heavely.
I hope so, my dear, I can only wait and see anyway.
She bite her lip.
Oh no, much of these tales end up badly ... but I hope that my story will not be as much tragical and that I will be soon reunited with my love and live happy with him, Olympe and my mother.
She smile, feeling happy to know that her mother will be with her.
I told her about Armand too, she has been very surprised but she is happy and allright for accompagny me in Italy and live there with me, Olympe and his majesty, I am very glad of it because it will be that much change and import moments that I will surely need my mother more than ever . And you know, I hadn't seen her since so much long time that I don't want to lost contact again ever.
Her face take again a grave air and she nodd.
Yes, I can guess how difficult it is, especially if he can think that it's would make your marriage invalid but as I told you, I find you very courageous for having tell him and I am sure that he will accept you like that if he really love you and his love will surely help you to recover your faith.
Worried and even a bit shocked by her words, at the idea that she couldn't survive to her sister's death, recalling of the terrible stupidty that she did herself in the past in a very difficult moment, she answer her immediatly with ardour.
Oh no, don't tell such a thing !, don't even think to that !, you will survive to it !, you are enough strong for that, even if it was without him and anyway, I would never let you stop to fight for survive ! believe me !

''I am sure that yours will not end up badly instead it will be with happy ending''
I looked at her little surprised.
''You told her? I am so glad that she is happy about you and Armand.Oh she will live with you in Italy! That is wonderful news Emilie now she will be with you all the time like it should be long ago.And now when you finally saw her since a long time it would be the shame to lose her again''
I smiled sadly,nodding a little.
''You know I went to church the other day....One part of me was there because of me and other part was because of him''
I sighed and looked at her softly.
''Yes I know that I will survive this,but sometimes I feel that I can not.I am sure that you will not and that is why I am lucky to have you as my friend''

Emilie smile slighty.
I hope so.
She feel moved as she think to her mother and recall of how much she have miss her and need her while all this time without seeing her.
Indeed, it's should has been like that long ago, I wish to had never been separated of her and I am very happy to know that she will be with me always now ! It's just so wonderful to have her by my side again.
She nodd, the air serious.
Oh yes, I could never accept to lost her again, in any case, especially just after having see her again after all this time. It's reassure me that whatever will be this new life in Italy as married to Armand and queen of this country, she will be there around me.
She look at her with compassionate air, feeling how difficult it must be for her.
I understand my dear, I hope that you will find again faith, I guess how important and even foundamental it must be in your life, it's very important in mine too.
She think that if she told her about her secret religion, lutheriasme, one of her two secrets that only a few persons are aware of, Mary would probably be shocked, but this secret like the other one is dangerous one and really can't be told. She answer her softly , trying to consolate her of her better.
I understand, it's terrible lost, but you will survive, you have your own life to continue, your marriage, your family to build and it's worth to be lived fully.
She hug her.
I will be there for you always, even at distance, you can always count on me.

I looked at her and nodded sadly.

After Mary's question, a grey veil of sadness cover Emilie's eyes, she sigh and tell her.
I hadn't get any news of him since this letter, he did talk as if he couldn't wait to see me again, was ready to leave immediatly and join me anywhere I would be, I thinked I would soon recieve a letter of him telling that he did was coming ... but I hadn't recieve anything from him since then. And I hadn't seen him since so long time ! each day make feel more worried and doubtful !
Emilie smile softly even if her eyes remain sads, she hug her, moved by her words.
Your are like a sister to me too, my dear Mary, and I will not miss your marriage for anything in world, I promess.
She release her.
Of course it's arranged marriage at first, but if you and the duke love each others, then it will become a marriage of love and I am sure it will !
