Darnley feels bile bubble up in his throat.
His eyes move to Mary's ghost-white face.
All he wants to do is run to her, tell her he's sorry.
The word hangs there.
Darnley knows he can't betray any hint of weakness.
He takes the dagger.
It's warm, sticky.
The secretary looks up at him, betrayed.
Then Darnley plunges the blade into the man's chest.
There's silence.
Darnley meets Mary's gaze again, this time with defiance.
You are deposed, Mary, on grounds of adultery.
I will be the King of Scotland now.
From Audible, I'm Matt Ford.
And this is British Scandal.
Alice, give me your thoughts so far on Mary, Queen of Scots.
Yes, and this is all in the context of her relationship with her cousin, our great and noble Queen Elizabeth I. Yes, of course.
Yes, so Mary just needs a husband who can give her an heir, strengthen the Scottish crown and ideally claim the English one.
