As I was trying to go back and have another drink, I saw Katherine, barely herself, concerned and not happy at all, we have been friends since childhood, we grew up together and I have only seen her like that when something bad happened to her. So I went after her.
"Lady Katherine, stop, you are running very fast, my lady" and then after a while she stopped, I saw her face covert with tears, her ocean blue eyes covert with pure water that made her eyes shine.
"My Lady, what is wrong?"

I look at him with a glazed expression....both delighted to see him an old friend and yet desperately sad. "Anthony...darling, it's been too long!" I swallow back tears but can't control my bottom lip from trembling. "I'm fine...It is nothing really..."

I knew she was lying, and I get really angry when someone is not telling the truth especially her, "Uhmm..." so I grabbed her arm forcibly and I pulled her behind the long dark curtains, I pushed her to the wall, and then I let her go.
"Katherine, don't you dear lie to me, don't even think about it..." I breathed harshfully "Just tell me how big is your problem"

Shocked. "How dare you manhandle me!" I look at him: my tearstained eyes burning with fury. "I am the daughter of a King...sister to another and a member of the royal family! How dare you manhandle me!!" My breathing deepens and I stare at him... "It is between my husband and I..." My breathing becomes heavier as I think of it. But I hadn't been this close to Anthony in years...not since our childhood! "We haven't been this close since I was a child. .."

I closed my eyes, and I was furious as hell and hurt, with one hand I touched my chin along with the beard, with the other hand I blocked Katherine by stretching my hand in the wall "I am sorry your majesty, for "manhandling" you" and I said it with irony and then I straighten up
"A man of such a lower birth, shouldn't talk to a Lady, much more to the Kings daughter" My look was very spicy "My apologize your majesty" I bowed and I left

"Anthony...I'm sorry!" I follow him "I'm upset yes...I'm upset because my husband could be with another woman!" Tears fall from my eyes and I slowly become more distraught! "But I'm sorry...perhaps I should have stayed in that Nunnery! Rotted away and died!!...I shouldn't have come here!" Falling to my knees in distress. "Anthony!!..."

I turned, and I saw her talking and not breathing "Shush Katherine, calm down" but she didn't stop and the next thing I saw her fainting. I grabbed her and pulled her to my self...
"No, my Lady" and I held her to my hands.. "Lets go get some fresh air, shall we"

A young, barely of age woman stands before me after I part ways from the Queen of Sweden. Her sweet smile and glimmering eyes capture my intrigue as I arise to kiss her hand . Smiling I say "My Lady, You look ravishing this eve. " Candle light falls gently upon her causing her cheeks to flush a rose undertone. I find her modest yet cryptic nature endearing as I gaze into her dark mysterious eyes.

I stand looking upon Gustav's face attempting to show some care in the nature of his matters. "Gustav you are a naive man who thinks of one thing only, war. Enjoy your time here at another King's court while you are far away from your own. "
Suddenly a delightful fair-haired woman with brilliant blue eyes pushes past Gustav. I nod to her politely, kissing her pale white hand " By god's teeth how on earth could a man such as yourself manage to woo such a virtuous, honorable woman as this angelic creature? Of course , My Lady . I would be a fool to resist dancing with thee. " I take her hand walking past Gustav, stopping only for a moment to pat his shoulder .
As the heavenly woman and I begin to dance I manage to speak the words " My Lady, I do hope you are finding enjoyment at the English court. I myself find the court to be a spectacular site with the most beauteous women I have ever seen. " I soon break my eye contact with her regaining thoughts of my new Queen. I have not seen her at court all evening I do hope she has not found herself in any trouble.

My rage boils over with fierce intensity, yet I shall not~must not~allow those around us to believe this jävel speaks the truth, and upset King Henrik and his guests... Instead, I turn my back on Frederick and walk over to Margareta, taking a brimming goblet from a servant's tray.
"I've no idea how it is possible you can be civil to that jävel... he is a serpent... he would have liked nothing better than for me to draw my dagger... but I shall bide my time... let us enjoy the festivities today, war may wait for the morrow".

I walk into the festivities dressed up in one of my finest gowns with a small silver tiara delicately laid upon my head. I mill about the crowd and I am truly pleased with the atmosphere.

"Ers Majestät, you know the English dances quite well. I apologize for Gustav, he was wrong to
speak to you like that. We are all guests of Kung Henrik and need to keep politics out of his ball.
Tell me, what are your thoughts of the English and their Kung; especially all the problems with
Anne Boleyn? I do see the attraction though, ja. What do you think of her?" I looked up into the eyes
of Kung Fredrik to see if I could tell what he was thinking. The eyes always tell us what we need to
know. The Danska kung was very attractive, blonde with piercing blue eyes. He picked his words
carefully and did not speak out of anger like Gustav. My Gustav, he will never change, I smile thinking
of him. But I think Gustav is correct, this Danska kung was calculating; I could see it and feel it.
I gave him a bright smile. " Have you met the duke of Suffolk? I have not but I hear he is most
charming, handsome and that Kung Henrik listens to his advice about all matters." I was enjoying my
dance and could see Gustav out of the corner of my eye; he did not look happy but a dance would
tell us a lot more then an argument.

I watch Margaret and wonder how such a beautiful, delightful and charming woman could be married to such a barbaric man. " Gustav is of no worry to me, your highness. If you ever spend two moments at the Danish court you will understands. The nobles there are like hounds they will turn and bite in a split second. As for Henrik he is a good king and seems to have his nobles under his thumb. I have yet to meet Anne and have little thought of his divorce. Although I do support his decision to depart with the Pope. Even though I am Solemn protector of the Catholic Church in Denmark, I am Secretly allowing Lutheranism to spread through Denmark . Reform is coming I can feel it in every bone of my being. The Pope is the way of the past, Lutheranism is of the future. Gustav is parting ways with the Pope as well. Is he not? " . I watch Margaret find her words and her beauty outshines any Swedish woman I have seen. Her wit and charm is opposite of Gustav who is boorish and uncivilized. " The Duke of Suffolk is good company. I met with him just the other day and his company was well worth the travel here to England." I take a moment and smile "enough politics, you realize you are much to beautiful for Gustav. Would not a German Duke or mayhap my nephew been a better suited match?"

I cannot help enoying myself, Kung Frederick is a talanted dancer with a silver tongue. The polar opposite of my Gustav, who says exactly what he thinks. But Gustav is a man of action. He did remove the Danes from Sweden and I imagine that subject still stings Frederick very much. But we need peace now, epecially if Denmark becomes reformed like England and Sweden. I laugh at Frederick's remarks. Gustav decided I would be his from the moment that he laid eyes upon me. I smile remebrering the glint in his eyes when we met.
" You do not believe that being Queen of Sweden is a good match for me? I do not think Gustav would ever let me go so eaisily and I love my husband. He did free our country from the Danes. Like you, I am Catholic and cannot give up my beliefs but I am alone in my devotion at home. Gustav loves me enough to not take away what is ingrained into my soul. It seems that you are ready to change your beliefs so I would guess you are happy to go which ever way the wind blows. Tell me where is your beautiful wife? I have not met her, perhaps she is dancing with the dashing duke of Suffolk? The women are drawn to him like a month to a flame. It could be his charm and good looks, or his closeness to Kunk Henrik.

I overhear Margareta's voice as I refill my cup and turn to see her engaged in heated discourse with Frederick. I set the cup down and reach for my dagger, before realizing to my amusement that it is she whom is inflicting the blows upon our common enemy with deadly barbs from her tongue and lethal looks from her chilling stare. I laugh and return to filling my goblet, looking up at a noble watching the banter with keen interest. I look up and smile at him. "That is my wife... she is a wildcat is she not?"
