Quotes
Lord Darnley: I let you win that race.
Mary Stuart: Oh really Lord Darnley. I was unaware that your crushing defeat was an act of charity.
Lord Darnley: How dare you, didn't you notice that I defied the queen of England for you!?
Mary Stuart: Oh, you enjoyed it.
Lord Darnley: I did!
Leith Bayard: Pay me what I ask. And their future is secure.
Lord Narcisse: Look how far you’ve come. Trading your heart to rise in station. I’ll draw up the papers.
Leith Bayard: I wanted to hate Luc, but he's a good man. And he's your husband. I'm not.
Leith Bayard: I feel a poison in my heart. How long until I give into it?
Leith Bayard: We never got to see that vineyard in Tuscany.
Princess Claude: What if we met there? A year from tonight. Leith, in a year, everything will be different. I'll have an heir, I-I'll never have to be with Luc again.
Leith Bayard: Claude...
Princess Claude: I won’t fall in love with him. I promise!! Please have faith in me.
Leith Bayard: I'll try.
Lord Darnley: I’m going to be your husband.
Mary Stuart: I had a husband! and I loved him and he was murdered in cold blood before my eyes.
Lord Darnley: Before I met you, I loved someone. In that way that should've lasted a lifetime, but it didn't. And when I lost her I thought I'd never feel again, and yet here I am. Here we are.As king and queen, our lives will always be in peril.
We're gonna be in danger no matter whether we're together or not. Because of who we are, Mary, because of our blood.
