“Shouldn’t you be at the party?”

Lola opened the cottage door to find Francis shivering on the doorstep.

“I’m not welcome,” he replied, following her inside and kneeling beside his son’s crib. “It’s not safe here, Lola.”

“What’s happened?” she asked, immediately alert. “Where’s Mary? Is she safe?”

“I don’t know.” Francis laughed softly, stroking the baby’s cheek. “But I know he isn’t. I have to send him away from court.”

“Francis, no.” Lola stood over the crib, staring down at the wild-eyed king. “Whatever is happening, tell me. We’re safer here, with you to protect us. That was your decision.”

“A decision I have reversed,” he said, standing and staring Lola in the eye. “I am your king and when I make a decree it is law. There will be no questions. He will leave tomorrow.”

“He?” Lola’s lip trembled as her fingertips reached out for the edge of the crib. Her baby began to stir, whining in his sleep. “What about me?”

“What about you?” Francis replied. “Have him ready to leave by midday. I’ll make the arrangements.”
