King Fernando's bedchamber

Hmm...Interesting. Who is providing you with the troops? Fernando says as he walks back to his small table. Sitting down, he ponders the entire situation. She is ambitious just like her mother.

We are strong willed, fierce breed of people. We need to show the world that we are not to be messed with. I still have the French invading my realm or else I could contribute. Fernando yawns and motions for Anne to come near. I dont wish to be rude but I need to rest a bit before meeting with my generals later.

It is good to have you home my dear. Fernando rests his head against the back of his chair and closes his eyes.

Papa,

I am so happy to see you again. Your time at the front has been long but I hope and pray that you shouldnt leave again anytime soon.

Your dearest daughter,

Fran

Sancha felt bad about her discussion with her uncle.
She went to his room and asked permission to enter...
majesty, can I enter?

Fernando sits quietly at his desk, reading a book when his niece Sancha is announced in. Please, come in. He continues to sit there, not even turning around to look at her.

It is alright Sancha, Fernando says with an airy voice. I have better things to think of, like getting my new wife's chambers ready for her arrival. He continues to read.

I want to talk to you about my marriage...I'm too young to be a widow.I need a husband to govern with me Squillace..and I have to have children.Can you negotiate a marriage for me?you are the head of household.
Sancha told him and gave him a mysterious look

Fernando gently sets his book down and slowly turns to Sancha. I could do that, perhaps. Is there anyone in mind that you wish to marry...that is available? He looks at her with a curious look.

I'm willing to accept your decision...You can arrange a marriage for me to benefit the interests of Italy..A union with Navarre for example, Milan or England.

Sancha said and gently stroked his uncle's hand ...

He smiles, Navarre and Milan are out of the question but England isnt. I will have to see if there are any nobleman still single up there. He thinks of the plans that are going on with Navarre and cannot help but to smile wider. Is there anyone in England that you know of? The only way Navarre isnt out of the question is if you marry Prince Martin de Navarra.

Martin?,In Navarra people rumored about him ...King Henry of Navarre, wants to divorce his wife.I would be a wonderful queen for Navarre, do not you think?
Sancha said smiling wickedly.
Moreover, the King and I .... we have already intimated
Sancha said seductively

You will not marry Henry as he is legally married and cannot obtain a divorce from his wife. Do not speak of rumors about Martin as there are many rumors circulating about you. Fernando takes a deep breath and stretches. I will write to the King of England and see if he knows of any of his subjects that are looking for wives....Perhaps the Duke of Lancaster? You are not Queen material because of your horrible reputation.

Duke of Lancaster???my reputation?, What reputation?
Sancha asked altered

For sleeping with men that are not your husband besides, the Dukes of Lancaster are descended from the Plantagenet Kings of England and I think the current Duke needs a wife. Fernando says nonchalantly.

And the Duke of Birmingham?I accept your wishes for me dear uncle ..If you want me to marry the Duke of Lancaster, I will accept.
Sancha said and she looked at the king with pride

I do not know, he says while pouring himself a goblet of wine. I will write to King Henry of England for you and see. I will have to negotiate with him anyways since it will be his subject.

I accept your decision, your Majesty, if you think that my marriage with the Duke of Lancaster is beneficial for Italy, I accept.
Sancha said and left the room, coquettishly

Sister Ana went to the King's room.
That day, she was not dressed in religious dress.
She was traveling in "condition" of royal princess of Navarre, and she wore a spectacular dress.
Majesty, I´m Ana de Navarra, can I enter?
Sister Ana asked.

Fernando sits in front of the fire in his room, still in his court dress when he hears sister Ana knock on his door. He sits up an bit more straight before answering her. Yes please come in.
