Don't pretend this is about money. You have all the money you need. You want power.
You want revenge. But how could I possibly help you? I'm irrelevant.

Catherine

Narcisse: It's must be hard. Once a Queen, now the Queen Mother. Decorative, like an expensive
vase, yet a great deal more relevant.
Catherine: I'm not the only one. There's a new day coming, and you are on the wrong side.

Mary: How dare he? Calls his men lazy while they starve and they grieve. Take his land and be done with it!
Francis: And in doing that I anger every French nobleman two days before they gather here to put the crown on my head. Mother was right about one thing. Narcisse wants revenge for his son's death and withholding grain is how he's getting it.

Kenna: It's not fair! Where's our new chateau? You're the King's Deputy! I love Lola like a sister but the idea that an unnamed baby has been granted vast holdings. Since when is there any land
available?
Bash: There isn't. Not within two days ride of the job you begged me to take at the castle.
Kenna: How could I. Do you know what a title like would have meant to me? Baron Sebastian
instead of Bastard Sebastian?
Kenna: In other words, we cannot begrudge Lola and her child any of the gifts they may receive if it makes like easier for them than it was for you and your mother.
Bash: In those words exactly.

Mary: Are all powerful men so insecure?
Francis: A few. Many. Most.

Mary: What good does it do to pretend to be strong it it bankrupts us?
Catherine: Truly, Francis, I don't know why she's even in this conversation. Didn't you promise the
nobles you'd muzzle her?

Francis: Why are you kneeling?
Bash: Because you are King and I am nothing, until you make me something.

Innocent men shouldn't die alone. You won't die alone.

Conde

You think you're untouchable, that your sins will stay buried, but they don't.

Nostradamus

I know I told you to go to Lola, but then the Plague came and you knowingly abandoned me to a nightmare. You are the King who deserted his castle and I am the Queen who was left behind, alone. Alone because of your mistakes. Of all the people you could have slept with, did it have to be one of my ladies? One of my closest friends?

Mary

Mary: I am your Queen. I command you.
Lord Narcisse: You will command nothing! I don't fear you. I don't fear your husband! Because without me, without the other nobles your power disappears. We are the outside world and we surround you.

Francis: The Plague shortages have given too much power to Narcisse. The nobles follow him now and they are watching our every move.
Mary: Then let them watch you and let you be above reproach. This was my mistake and I'll fix it.

My dear, this was not an act of passion. It was treason.
