:48:04
Where have you been?
:48:10
You were not at Court.
:48:15
Majesty, Monsieur de Foix.
:48:17
Mary of Guise, Ma'am,
:48:19
promises to make no further threat
against Your Majesty, but
:48:23
on one condition.
:48:25
What condition?
:48:28
That Your Majesty considers the proposal
of her nephew the Duke of Anjou.
:48:41
The Duke is most eager
to meet Your Majesty.
:48:45
He has heard a great deal of your beauty.
:48:49
For the love of God, Madam, let not
the care of your diseased estate
:48:54
hang in the balance any longer.
:48:57
In marriage,
and in the production of an heir,
:49:01
lies your only surety.
:49:04
The Duke is also most... handsome.
:49:18
Very well.
:49:22
Invite the Duke of Anjou.
:49:25
We shall see him in the flesh.
:49:37
Robert!
:49:39
The Duke will not take kindly
to a rival for his suit.
:49:44
He is a traitor,
and his father before him.
:49:47
Lord Robert's head
will end up on a spike,
:49:52
not on the pillow of a Queen.
