I surrender
Mary Stuart has climbed a tree in her dress to get a ball for Prince Charles, who has since left. Her commotion has brought Lady Greer over along with Tomás. Mary accidentally hits Tomás with the large ball when she throws it to the ground. Greer introduces them and explains Tomás is here on business with the French in trading. Mary asks them both to turn around so she can jump down, and when she does she knocks over Tomás again. She deeply apologizes and he promises Portugal surrenders to the Scottish. He soon has to leave having a meeting to get to.
Mary offers their Scottish trees as lumber and in returns wants men to herself to fend off Scotland from the English. He says he will consider this offer and they shall meet again soon.
Later Mary meets up with Tomás, this time they are on horseback, taking a ride though the French country side. After Tomás explains to Mary he understand her situation and offers to add on for their arrangement, and proposes to her. Mary says she is already engaged to Francis, and Tomás ask her why, since France will not even help her in her time of need. He also informs her that he will be the next King of Portugal as he has already been signed off by The Catholic Church and the news will be announced officially soon. Since his father only has him, and a three year old grandson, he wants Tomás to be the next king.

Tell us things
That evening at a dinner king Henry calls out Nostradamus in public and asks Nostradamus what he's always whispering in his wife's ear. Catherine tries to blow off the situation, but Henry encourages Nostradamus to tell the fortune of Mary and her ladies.
Nostradamus and asks them all to pick a card from the deck and have their questions ready. Lady Lola asks if she will ever love again, and Nostradamus says yes, he tells Mary she will meet life with grace, then tells Greer she will fall in love with someone with a white mark, and that Lady Aylee will never return to Scotland. Mary demand to know why he said that as he has upset their table. Catharine orders the musicians to start playing again.
Francis comes over and takes Mary away to dance, while Greer is trying to get Tomás' attention and asks about a small scar on his check. He mostly ignores her before excusing himself.
This is how we do things
Francis and Mary begin a proper ballroom dance and are soon interrupted by Tomás, who cuts in. Francis moved back to stand with his brother as seductive Portuguese music begins to plays. Tomás takes the lead getting very close to Mary as they move around in a fast and more adult version of dancing. Some of the woman in the crowd look uncomfortable, while others look a little flushed. There is a lot of touching and spinning around before the song ends.
- "I love this Portugal music! KEEP PLAYING!"
- —Queen Catherine
Later that night at the Boating Party Mary is walking with Tomás and he expresses how happy he is to be with her. After his first wife he never thought he would love again, and simply be giving an arranged marriage on day.
That night Mary goes to Tomás' chambers and tells him he'll have to teach her pottages. The next morning, they both watch his ships leave for Scotland as he takes her hand.
Historical Notes
- John III of Portugal had a total of nine children, however, he outlived them all. Tomás is a fictional child of his.
