MARY, QUEEN OF SCOTS !!Â
         scotland was her. she was scotland. at such a young age, her innocence was taken away in favour of ruling a country. at the age of six days old she was already crowned the queen of scotland due to the untimely death of her father, her country was ruled by regents until she was ready to take care of her people and make decisions that she saw fit. she was a queen in her own right, responsible for all the lives and the way the people in her country would live. as a young girl, sheâd accepted all of this wholeheartedly. accepted her fate that she would wed francis, become his wife and learn to fall in love with him, completely expecting that heâd want to learn how to fall in love with her, too. Â
         but looking back, her life had been planned out. she didnât have much of a choice, didnât she ?? she had to sacrifice her innocence, her youth, her naivety, her choices because she had a much bigger duty to scotland; TO HER PEOPLE. it would be unfair if they suffered due to a teenage girlâs whims. she had to come to terms with the fact that sheâll never be able to make a decision for her own personal happiness. because she is the country; the country is her. and whatever she does, scotland will either prosper, or suffer. Â
        queens donât make choices for themselves, it was quite a hard concept to grasp. especially when she found herself having to choose between her country ( marrying tomas of portugal in order to secure her countryâs safety ) or love ( hoping with francis that henry would eventually agree to help scotland ). but then again, queens do not marry for love, donât they ?? this finally nailed inside her head when she agreed to marry tomas for his men, despite the fact that her heart YEARNED for francis.Â
         âlove is irrelevant to people like usâ, francis once said, and she gracefully accepted that. but if she was to choose the way sheâd live in another lifetime, sheâd like to have a go at what it means to be happy without conditions.Â
