Francisco estate Zaragoza Hispania Lord Juan Marco Francisco ascended the steps to the bedroom of his grand estate. His wife and children were to be returning home shortly. He glanced over a few top secret letters of thanks from underground Hispanian Protestant movements which he donated money to, and was the defacto leader of. Catholicism was the official state religion and strictly enforced. Lord Francisco despised Catholicism, and had recently began more and more to see it as its own obsessively materialistic, pompus, oppresive, idol worshipping religion than another branch of Christianity. Lord Francisco considered himself just a devout Protestant Christian. He thought all the different branches were unecessary and only served to divide them, tho he was somewhat fond of Lutheranism. If it was ever found out that he was a Protestant, the consequences would be dire. He would most likely be found a traitor by the King Santos, and executed. Despite that he actually liked King Santos personally, and was loyal to him, and Hispania, however if he and Hispania would not see the grave error in their ways, he could not remain there. He sipped some wine from his glass and sat on his bed and prayed yet again for guidance and protection from God. |

Allesandra Royal Palace Queen Maliya sat in her throne room, looking around absently. Her priests were due to give her the news from the gods and goddesses, along with her scribes telling her of the happenings in the city. Being only 16, her mind wandered frequently because she didn't totally pay attention to her duties as queen. Of course, it was hard for any girl to take on a role she hadn't been totally prepared for. I can't blame mother and father for dying as they did. She thought. Her parents had passed on because of illness, leaving her alone as the only child to take over the throne. Although she was tutored by the priests, scribes and helpers daily to become a true queen, she ebbed from her studies more often than not. At that moment, the scribes and priests entered. Just as I was about to take a catnap, too. She sat up, trying to look regal. The priests bowed before her, "Your Grace, good morning to you." "Good morning. What is there to report from our holy rulers?" She asked. "They have predicted good fortune on the horizon for our country. War shall not touch us this year, and our crop season will look well." "Good, good." She smiled, "And what has transpired in the city as of late?" "Well, my Queen, we have received many runaways, Protestant runaways." The scribe explained, "Being that we are a tolerant nation, all have been given proper clothing, some money and a plot of land to start their life from." "I'm afraid I'm not well-acquainted with what a Protestant is." "They seem to be people who bow to only one God, your Grace." "Like the Catholics?" "These people split from the Catholics." She looked up at the priest, "We don't know much of them, really. I am sure they will reveal their teachings soon, and then we may learn more." "Very well then. You may leave now." She said, dismissing them with a wave of her hand. They nodded, standing and walking away. She slowly fell into a dreamlike state again, wondering how she could make the day more enjoyable. |
