Weddings are events many treasure as it is a memory of a solid union between two people. However, when it comes to the Queen of Scotland and Queen of England, the marriage they dream of may be scandalous instead of beautiful. It can well be a wedding no one can forget.

Mary has always been doing all she can to save her Scotland and this time, she's willing to be Queen to the Prince of Spain - no matter how disabled he can be. The marriage alliance between Scotland and Spain may be the only thing that can win her cause against England. And Gideon will stop at nothing for this alliance to not happen. Driven by the need to free his daughter, he plants things inside Mary's head saying she will never be happy in a love-less marriage. And to make it more troublesome for Mary, he announced that the Queen of England is ready to accept Spain's proposal for marriage which pushed back her marriage date.

On the other hand, the royal prince which is said to be disabled after the acciddent in his bedroom started to regain consciousness and remembers the truth about his accident. He regains not only his speech but also his mobility. He plans to use Mary the same way she used him, for marriage. He pulls the Duke in on his plan that he will accept Mary's proposal, deny Elizabeth's, only if Mary will agree to a crowned marriage - which will make him an heir to the Scottish throne.
