He must stick to the plan.
But as he steps towards her, a piercing scream echoes through the room.
Darnley spins round.
His eyes widen in horror as he takes in the secretary, now on his knees, a dagger buried in his back.
A chill runs down his spine as another lord rips the dagger from the man's back and strikes a second blow.
Darnley sees Mary try to reach for him, only for someone to roughly pull her from her chair.
Darnley freezes as the man points a gun at her stomach.

Darnley forces a nod.
He stares at Mary, who eyeballs him with pure hatred.
You will go to hell for such lies.
Darnley swallows hard.
He cannot show any weakness now.
He struggles to hide his revulsion as the nobles pass the dagger to each other, striking the secretary like frenzied animals.
Blood sprays across Mary's gown, her face.
Then another one of the lords turns his way.
You must make the final rule.
