my dearest mary,
if you are reading this, then you are leaving france to reclaim your scottish throne. i always knew this day would come and i wish i could be at your side as you set sail to take back what is yours. in the darkest of times you were my conscience, your heart was a light, mary and it burned so very bright for france. no matter how far you go that light will burn forever. i have left you a gift, something i made for you to fight for what is yours and for what you know in your heart is right.
i love you, mary stuart. forever.
