Summary
"It would have been a tragedy, my marrying someone like Albert?" Victoria tightened her hand on his shoulder, and Melbourne nodded seriously.
"For me, Ma'am, it would have been the most painful tragedy I would have endured in all my life, and I consider myself something of an expert on painful tragedies. Still, I would have borne it."
"For England's sake," Victoria nodded, but Melbourne shook his head.
"For your sake."
************************
The "rook scene" at Brocket Hall ends very differently from what we see on the show. When Victoria rejects all suitors but Melbourne, he gives his Sovereign what she desires. But where Victoria underestimates the political fallout, Lord M realises just how much trouble they may be creating. He loves her anyway. Alternate history, Vicbourne, novel length WIP.
