Welcome Dinner to Whitehall

"Charles looked around Hall. A lady walked towards him and showed him a teasing smile. "Your grace...". He smiled her back and turned towards Anthony, holding his goblet in his hand"

Uhm...very nice evening, Anthony. Don't you find?

I watch as the beautiful lady winks at Charles, I laugh "You never tire do you?" I say as I take another drink of my wine.

"Charles giggled, shooking his head"

I know what you're thinking about, Anthony. That I dream about women...even when I sleep! But...you're wrong, my friend. I dream about serious things: heaven, hell, the deep meaning of our life...I dream about God, and about repentance. If you have to ask...

"He answered giggling. Then walked towards some ladies"

The children were with their governess, and tucked away in their beds. And, Noelle was finally free. She laid her hand on her stomach, and winced as the other stared at her. Everyone knew who she was, and what she had done. The news of her 'bastard' child had spread through court like wildfire. And, it hurt her that people could be so cruel.....but as usual she kept a fake smile all the time. With that she made her way pass a few groups of people, but someone pushed her......having her to fall on her back. The man just walked off and, Noelle pulled herself up. And, she walked over to a far part of the Great Hall.

I looked at Charles, shocked by his answer. I then laughed "Charles, my friend, sometimes you do still surprise me."

I then looked back at his majesty as he spoke of knighting me. "Your majesty, I humbly accept, and I can assure you I will be at court more often." I said as I was very grateful of his offer.

"Charles shrugged and raised his eyebrow after Anthony's sentence. He enjoyed surprising his friends sometimes. While Anthony was talking with the King, he kept on sipping his wine again. He noticed Nan among crowd again and smiled. It almost seemed like they were at old times again: Henry not still busy with his matter, the Queen still happy, no worries. Just dancing, drinking and enjoying time together"

I look around and see my cousin, His Majesty the King, speaking with a few gentlemen. I decide to make my way to greet him. I smile softly and curtsy deeply

Your majesty! Tis a pleasure to see you again!

Jane stood up feeling a little tired from the nights events she rubbed once of her weary eyes and drank the last of her wine. She went up and curtsied to the King and turning to leave the hall with ever so much grace in her steps as she walked. As soon as she turned the corner of the leaving, herself and the back of her dress was out of sight.

Margaret walked through the hall, her red dress trailing after her, she looked up to see Henry and raised an eyebrow before curtsying. Margaret knew herself it was her last time at court because of her health and she wanted to make the best of this, instead of fighting with everybody that she loved over some issue that she disagrees with.

Alfonsina was finally in Whitehall Palace. She went to her room and changed her dress. Then she went to welcome dinner to join the others. She came in to dinner hall. Firstly she looked around and then she went to near windows and started to watch everyone with a little smile.

Henry VIII of England wrote:

Henry looked carefully at Anthony. He seemed lost in listening song's words

What are you thinking about, Anthony?

He asked, frowning

I looked back at his majesty, "I was listening the song and I was thinking about words. "Omnia vincit Amor" I aaid.

Thomas Smiled at his Wife 'Yes indeed, here i am.' He said kissing her back and he Nodded at Wolsey before looking at his Wife 'It seems that i have..business with the Cardinal himself and the King here, but hopefully i shall not be to busy' He said with a smile.

Wolsey smiled as Queen White approached them and bowed deeply before her.
'Your Majesty! Welcome at Whitehall Palace. May I introduce you to the king's secretary, sirThomas Cromwell?
Thomas, this is Queen White from the kingdom Alderia.... ahh! Lady Elizabeth!' he smiled at Cromwell's wife and bowed his head.
He listened at Thomas' words and tapped him on the shoulder, still smiling.
'Well, my friend, there is nothing so important to prevent you from celebrating this weldome dinner with your lovely wife first... I'd like tol see you in my office soon, though.' He nodded at them and turned to queen White.
'Your majesty... I was about to leave, too. Do you like another drink or shall I accompany you to your rooms, well, I mean in the direction of your rooms?' he improved himself and smiled kindly at her.

I smile as i curtsy deeply to his Majesty.

Tis a pleasure always to see you. Tis a lovely feast . I must say I enjoy it very much. How are you faring, Your Grace? Oh have you heard? My brother has married the Lady Lilianna Giovanni of italy!

I noticed Lady Alfonsina smiling shyly. It seems, that like me, she does not know that many people at the Palace. I stand up, with my wine goblet and approacher her.

*curtsies and smiles*

"Hello, my lady? Are you enjoying the welcome dinner?"

I frown slightly as he mentions my brother being in a hurry to marry but i smile faintly then sip my wine.I notice the Duke of Suffolk and I blush slightly as I look away then lock eyes with my cousin again and blushing a bit more.

My brother acts impulsively at times, Your Majesty. I have yet to meet my new sister-in-law the Queen Lilianna. Have you met her before?

I sigh as I suspect as to why he was such in a rush to marry and tears well up as I disapprove of such behavior due to being a devout catholic.
