Médicis Daughter
“It is all as Anjou said it would be. Shortly after he rode away in March—gone to chase Coligny—Mother called me to her and said, “Your brother has related the conversation you and he had and how he wishes me to see you through his eyes. By his account you are a woman worthy of his trust and mine. And so you shall be treated. It will be a great comfort for me to converse with you as I would with him while he is away.”
How those words changed my life! All that was shrouded in mystery before—the b...usiness of the King’s council, Mother’s hopes for her sons and her fears for them, her dealings with diplomats from every land—is suddenly laid bare before me. I pass hours in Her Majesty’s company, listening and learning.
Generally, I am with Mother from the moment she awakes, but I took special care in dressing today, so by the time I slip into the room, her breakfast tray is being removed.
“Margot!” she says, looking at me with bright eyes. “Come sit beside me. I have been waiting for you.”MoreLess
