"Your majesty, Catherine de Medici, has arrived."

I was told that my grandmother arrived with specially trained mercenaries to help in the search for my rapists and attackers. She went to my chambers, where my mother is also here. After she talked to my mother, the Queen of Scots excused herself to cater to the needs of some lords who were waiting for her in the throne room.

I was awake at that time, so she bombarded me with questions.

"Alexandra"

"How are you?"

"Grandmother? I'm feeling a little scared. "

"My dear poor child, don't be scared. We will find those cold-blooded men."

Tears fell from my eyes because I remembered what recently happened to me. I told her everything that happened. Catherine mentioned what happened to my mother before, back in the French Court when she was still the Queen of France. She told me that she felt that my mother had gone through something horrible just by the look in her eyes.

"Your mother went through a very sad trauma."

"I did expect that the trauma would cause your parents' separation."

"If I recall correctly, every time your mother looks at your father, she can't help but think that it was his fault"

"Which is hard for the both of them."

I stopped sobbing while she was telling me the story. I listened carefully to her story. I felt sad about the part when they separated temporarily. I honestly did not know about that, but I'm glad they found a way to get back together and trust each other.

My grandmother asked me if I wanted to go eat dinner with her. I accepted her offer, so she told me to dress up and would invite my mother to eat dinner with us.

On my way to the banquet hall, I saw Prince Casper. I was shocked to see him here. I stopped walking and then my mother called me.

"Alexandra"

"Here you are"

"I sent a servant to your chambers, but she told me you weren't there."

She also called Casper to introduce him to me, but she didn't know that I already knew who he was.

"Gladly I found you here"

"I will introduce you to our guest"

Casper stood in front of us with a smile on his face. I guess he's happy to see me here?

"This is Princess Alexandra, my daughter"

"Alexandra, this is the Prince of Sweden, Prince..."

"Casper"

I continued and smiled.

"Oh, have you met each other?"

My mother was intrigued. Casper and I stared at each other because we were both glad to see each other again.

"Ah yes, your majesty."

"We met in Paris."

"Yes, mother, during my trip to Paris."

"Oh, okay."

"So Prince Casper, let us discuss your father's message tomorrow."

"We are having dinner with the Queen Mother of France, Catherine de Medici. Would you like to join us? "

"Thank you, your majesty"

"But I have to decline as I have to fix myself and my belongings"

"Okay, Prince Casper."

"The servant will lead you to your chambers."

"Thank you, your majesty"

"Princess Alexandra"

He bowed before leaving.

My mother looked at me as if I had done something sneaky. She laughed at me and whispered to me that I was blushing when he left.

"Well, I was shocked, Mother."

"I didn't even know why he was here."

"Let's go to the banquet hall"

"I will tell you after we eat."

"Catherine might get bored waiting there."

As we talked, we were on our way to the banquet hall. We arrived there and saw a bored Catherine de Medici with a grumpy look on her face. We laughed and decided to eat. After eating, we sat there talking about Prince Casper and my adventurous trip when I was in France.

"How did you know each other?"

Catherine asked

"They told me that they met in Paris."

"We did."

"Oh, so is he one of the men you slept with during your adventures?"

"What?"

The Queen of Scots raised an eyebrow.

Oh, I am dead.

"Haven't I told you yet, Mary?"

"She's been drinking and partying with Claude during her travels in France."

"My spy also told me that she also sleeps with different men."

"What?! You hired a spy to check on me? "

"Oh my gosh"

I exclaimed.

"Oh my, Alex!"

"Is that why you know who he is?"

"Well yes, mother."

"But that was the last time I drank and partied.

"After that, I went back to the French Court because there was a letter from the Queen Mother telling me that I should go back."

"And there was a.."

"Wait."

"A what, Alex?"

"A letter from an anonymous stranger with a seal that I haven't seen before"

"Oh God! I totally forgot about this"

"Where is that letter?"

"Why didn't you mention this to me right after you arrived at the court?"

"What did it say?"

"It says, "Better listen to Catherine or else." "

"It's like a warning or threat."

"Catherine! Maybe it's a threat to what may happen. Like what happened when Alex arrived here? "

"Find that letter, Alexandra, and give it to me. I will let my men investigate this. "

"If there's a lead already, let me know. I will send guards. "

"Oh, when will this stop?"

I sighed

"I won't let anything happen to you, my dear daughter."

She assured me
