After what happened yesterday, I went to see my mother again to ask if she's okay.

"Mother? Are you okay? "

"I'm fine."

"That's good. I just came by to check up on you. "

When I was about to leave the throne room, she stopped me.

"Alex"

"Yes?"

"I have to tell you something."

"About what? "

"Remember when we went to a village where we found John Knox preaching to our fellow Catholics? "

"Where was there a sudden fire while we were giving bread to people? Yes, of course. "

"Why?"

"You know, after that, I received a letter."

"From who?"

"A loyal watchmen. I don't know who he is, but the letter he sent was about Darnley. Creating his own fire to save a child to look like a hero to gain people's respect and attention. I only told Greer about this.

"I decided not to tell you first because you've been busy with your own life, which has proven to be true."

"Yes, I get your point, but who exactly are the Loyal Watchmen? Should we have a search for him? "

"No, let's not focus on that. I received another letter."

"What was written? "

"Darnley's been seeing his lover again—Lady Keira."

"What? Do you think it's true? "

"It's possible. The first message from the Loyal Watchmen was true. This could be true."

"Will you confront Lord Darnley?"

"I don't know yet. Maybe? "

"I'll go tell Uncle James. You should talk about this with Darnley. You'll be marrying him soon. You need to end this before anyone knows that he's seeing someone else while engaged to the Queen. "

I went to see Lord James of Morey. I should ask for help from him as he might be able to assist.

"What's wrong, Alex?"

"Lord James, Uncle, I need to speak to you privately."

He let his group of men be excused and spoke until we were the only ones left.

"What is this about?"

"Lord Darnley"

"Ahh"

He seemed to have known something about Lord Darnley.

"What's with him?"

"He's seeing his lover again. Behind Mother's back. "

"What?!"

He really didn't seem surprised at all. Well, I'm a bit curious.

"Does your mother know about this?"

"Yes, she told me."

"Poor Mary"

"Do you know something about this? "

He looked bemused and anxious when I asked him

"No, why did you ask?"

"Nothing, but Uncle, please do something about it. I don't want to see my mother hurt again and no one should know about this other than us. "

We nodded at each other and both left. I came to follow Lord Darnley and to check his activities. He's starting to get back into his drinking habit. This will cause embarrassment to the reputation of the crown and the Queen herself for being engaged to a drunkard. Such stupidity. If he wants the people to love him and pay respect to him, then he should act more decently for them to criticize him in a good way.

Hours later, the Queen called me and the Earl of Morey, Lord James. We gathered together to talk about something important.

"I called you here because I needed both of you. I have this feeling that it is true and I don't want this to continue. "

"Is it about Darnley, Mary?"

"Yes"

"I confronted him and he denied it. I need evidence. Evidence to be used against him. "

"Mary, I'm sorry for not telling you this sooner, but I saw them together. Remember when we went to find Lord Bothwell? A guard told me that there was a newcomer from England that had come to Scotland and was staying at a village inn, which made me suspicious, so I went to the place where the person was staying. Until I went inside and saw Darnley with her, Lady Keira. "

My mother was hurt and shocked that her gut feeling was true.

"I'm sorry, Mary. I truly am. "

"No need to apologize, James."

"He stopped me from telling you. He knew that I didn't want you to get hurt and about the wedding and England, so we had an agreement. I would keep quiet and he would stop seeing her. He will let her stay away from Scotland. "

"I want to know if they're done. Do what you can do, James. The same goes for you as well, Alexandra. "

Oh, poor mother... How could that ambitious, self-seeking man do such a thing as cheating behind my mother's back? Behind the queen's back! I'm sure that he had already lost her trust and mine. It's not easy to gain our trust back, especially if we know what he's capable of. If I were my mother, I would abandon him despite the fact that he possesses the key to England, and instead find another way. I'm sure my mother won't do that because she has no choice. I understand, but she needs to be careful and not trust that man.
