The Court of Their Royal Highnesses Queen Marie and King Nicholas.

I was sure I hear he stirring, and yet now she seems dead to the world again.

Right. This is getting silly.

That portrait is very flattering Charles. *smile*

It is among my favorites from the collections.

How lovely you two are together!

Aunt and uncle are downright adorable.
Marie, darling, please wake up!

*Wakes up and brgins to cry hysterically*.

*has her in his arms instantly*

Oh thank God! What is wrong my dearest!

Because *Snivel* she is the ultimate home-wrecker *sobs* and she has promised *sob* on twitter *sniffle* that she will steal you from me! *Breaks down totally*.

Calm thyself Marie! Shall I get thee some warm milk or brandy. Hast thou lost they favorite teddy bear?

Marie I am ashamed of what thou hast said! I have no designs on Sir Nicholas for it is clear to me that your love is preordained. We are just friends. Now please stop crying it makes your pretty face all puffy!

*Screams in agony* Oh God! It's HER!

*secretly wonders if Anne is out of Prozac and berates himself for not asking the name of her Alcemist*

Marie, my deaest Marie, please calm down. I can not understand thee when you are sobing so. Who is a homewrecker? Anne? No one is going to take me from you, I love you. You know that.

Marie please you are frightening me with your plainly deranged ravings!

PROZAC! You wisheth to drug me? The Queen of Scotland and France? *Sobs*. Oh, Nicky. Anne is the Empress of Home-wreckers, she is their Queen-on-high! When she walks by the home-wreckers and gold-diggers sing "God save the Queen"! We are finished, FINISHED! *Cries in agony, total agony*.

Marie you are making a terrible mistake! Besides have you not heard? Charles is arranging for me to we his brother Ferdinand!

You are not making any sense my dearest. I have no wish to drug you ... where is all of this coming from?

and we are most certainly NOT finished!

GO OFF AND MARRY ANNE! MARRY ELIZABETH TOO WHILE YOUR AT IT! MARRY EVERY ENGLISH WHORE YOU CAN FIND! HOW CAN WE NOT BE FIN ISHED? WITH THIS JEZEBEL IN OUR COURT? BLUSHING AT YOUR COMPLIMENTS, DANCING WITH YOU! SHE IS A SERPENT IN OUR BOSOM!

I wish to marry you Marie, I always have, since we first met.

Please stop saying we are finished, the very thought breaks my heart.

Marie please tis only courtly etiquette to dance and nothing more, the same with the flirtation, all innocent. If you cast Sir Nicholas away you will deeply regret it!

*Does a mood switch* Since we first met? Truly?

There you seem calmed and that is good. I think I will retire to another part of the world while you little lambs patch this quarrel up.

Truly *looks deep into her eyes*

Anne speaks the truth, there is nothing between us but friendship. You do believe me?

*Looks conflicted*. In my life only 3 people have been honest to me, and I doth not think thee are one of them.

I doth think you lie not about this, but I do think thee in love with Elizabeth.

How did Elizabeth get brought into this?
