Scenes with Queen Marie
5 scenes Queen Marie 
You, sir, are restricted to the grounds.
Are you putting me on house arrest?
Do not mock me, boy, for I am in a foul disposition. And I will have it my way--
Or what? You'll ship me off to the Americas like some criminal? All for the sake of your stupid contract?
You are the Crown Prince of France!
And it is my life.
Queen Marie Francis, sit down before you have a stroke. Really, the two of you. [to Henry] Sweetheart, you were born to privilege and with that comes specific obligations.
Forgive me, Mother, but marriage to a complete stranger never made anyone in this room very happy.
You will marry Gabriella by the next full moon or I will strike you in any way I can.
What's it to be, Father, hot oil or the rack?
I will simply deny you the crown and... live forever.
Good. Agreed. I don't want it.
Queen Marie Francis, wake up. Our son has something he wants to tell us.
Mother, Father, I want to build a University, with the largest library on the continent, where anyone can study no matter their station!
All right... Who are you... and what have you done with our son?
Baroness, did you - or did you not - lie to Her Majesty, the Queen of France?
Queen Marie Choose your words wisely, madame, for they may be your last.
A woman would practically do anything for the love of a daughter, Your Majesties. Perhaps I did get a little carried away.
Mother! What have you done? Your Majesty, like you, I am just a victim here. She has lied to us both and I am ashamed to call her family.
You see? You see what I have to put up with?
Silence, both of you! Good Lord! [to Jacqueline] Are they always like this?
Worse, Your Majesty.
Jacqueline, darling, I hate to think you had anything to do with this.
Queen Marie Baroness de Ghent, you are forthwith stripped of your title, and you and your horrible daughter are to be shipped to the Americas on the first available boat... Unless by some miracle, someone here will speak for you.
[Rodmilla begins looking desperately at the other nobles, they look back coldly.] [nervously]
There seem to be quite a few people out of town...
I will speak for her.
[Rodmilla turns around and sees Danielle dressed like a princess.]
She is, after all, my stepmother.
Marguerite, I don't believe you've met... my wife.
[to Rodmilla, smiling]
I want you to know that I will forget you after this moment, and never think of you again. But you, I am quite certain, will think about me every single day for the rest of your life.
And how long will that be?
[looks up]
All I ask, Your Majesties... is that you show her the same courtesy that she has bestowed upon me.
