You would do well to treat me as more of a king than your last husband, if you do not wish to meet the same fate.
Yeah, but they're fit wrong'uns, aren't they?

Mary's mouth goes bone dry as she fixes Bothwell.
His eyes, once kind, are now cold, threatening.
She attempts a steady tone.
What do you know of Lord Darnley's fate?
Mary's body trembles as Bothwell's lips turn into a knowing smile.

How wrong about this man.
I will have you arrested.
I will tell them.
You will accuse me of nothing unless you also wish to incriminate yourself.
I have always acted on your specific orders, after all.

You will follow mine.
I hate to say it, but that doesn't feel like a completely unlikely situation.
