In The Name Of Love

*EDITED 10/26/23*

CLEO's POV:

"Mother, you can't be serious!?" I said furiously at her.

"Yes, I am being serious! Now will you stop! It's final, you will be going to France and you will make the future King of France fall in love with you!" She said as she walked past me to finish getting dressed.

"The last time you visited France, did you do something with the King?" I know she did.

"Why my sweet child, it's not nice to make up such allegations." She said moving her pointer finger in the air.

She can't be serious, I am already to be engaged to John future King of Spain! He provides more of an alliance than France and plus I'm already in love with John, I can't lose him!

"Now go get your Ladies and tell them we will be leaving for France, today."

"Ughhh!" I stormed out of her room. "Call for my Ladies." I said to one of the servants.



"Yes, your grace." She said as she bowed and then lefted the room.

As I finished brushing my hair there was a knock on the door. "Your grace, Prince John would like to see you." Said one of the guards announced.



"John!" I said as I went running to him.

He picked me up swiftly and spun around. "I've missed you, my love!" He said as he lowered me down, kissing my cheek.

"John..." I said looking at him with a sadden look.

"Whats wrong Cleo? Is everything alright?" He cupped my face looking worried.

"It's my mother." I moved his hand down. "She wants me to wed the next King of France."

"Francis...?" He despises Francis.

"Yes, I know she's only making me do it so she can be closer to King Henry." Which wasn't much of a surprise, she was like that with every King. She did it to get what she wants.

He looked at the floor not bothering to say a word.

"Please say something!?" I said to him as I got up raising my hand in the air then letting them fall to my side.

"I want you to marry me! Not Francis!"

"I know, I know my love."

"Is there something you can do?" He asked.

"My mother said I have to go there and make him fall in love with me." I said looking down at my hands. "But I have a plan."

"What is it?"

"I will make him hate me." I said looking into his eyes.

There was a knock on the door. "Your Grace, Queen Kate." Said the guard as my mother entered the room.

"Darling, we are leav-" She stopped as she saw John. "Why John, what a surprise!"
