Royal Stables

see's a man as my horse nearly takes off as i look up i see its the Cardinal i am very well your emerince and yourself? as i bring my horse back around

He recovers himself and grabs the reins of the protesting horse untill it calms down.
´I am.... rather fine, Your Highness. And you seem quite happy since the last time I saw you. Did I miss something?' he asked curiously. Ever since the trial started he lost sight of her.

i been very well, made new friends, perhaps someone who i like very much smiles as i see his face

He is half in thoughts and nodd when she tells him she made new friends.
'So good for you, I hoped you would make friends...'

She continues and his attention is now fully focused on her, last time he spoke with her she was still deeply in love with the Duke of Westmoreland....
'.... someone you like? Ahh please, tell me more! And most of all, tell me you are not in trouble again!' he frowns, knowing her temperament to get in trouble every time again.

well he is a soldier and he is the sweetest man around. and no it is not my uncle as you ruined that one for me. How is my father these days i have not heard much off him. looking down on him

'A soldier...' he repeats thoughtfully. Not a possible marriage candidate, obviously. It sounds if she is again in troubles but he has no means to protect her against her follies anymore.
He sigh deeply when she asks about the king.
'As far as I know, the king is alright, though still mourning his beloved sister.'

He realizes that the passing of Princess Margaret means also that another caring person for Cordelia has gone.
'I hope you are still close to the Princess Mary-Rose and I heard you also are close to the Princess Mary.'

He listens and nodd but when she talks about Anne, he steps closer to her.
'Your Highness! Remember who you are... and who your father is! Just treat her nicely and she won't harm you. Stay together with your sisters and... and look after the Princess Mary. Soon there will be no one around anymore to take care for her, so have mercy on her, I beg you!

i promise to look after the Princess Mary, i will do anything in my power to protect her. as i listern to the cardnial words

He looks up at her in surprise. She seemed to have matured since the last time he saw and spoke with her.
'Very good, I trust you do. Please take care, Your Highness, don't get yourself in trouble, especially not around the Lady Anne...'

He rubs his chin, thoughtfully.
´I hope so, I hope so.... now, tell me more about this soldier, please.´ he looks at her expression and smiles wryly.
´Don´t be afraid, I won´t interfere anymore.´

smiles and my tinkles when he mentioned him well his handsome, kind and funny. his name is Lancelot

He looks doubtful as she describes him but when she tells his name, he remembers the man he spoke with at the Newyears Celebration. He smiles vaguely, funny? He recalls Lancelot was serious, rather sad atance at the time.

'Ahh.... you mean the soldier who has been in the America's for a while. I spoke with him recently, he had to come back in connection with the legacy of his father, he told me. So, where did you meet?' he asks curiously, inwardly chuckling at her blushing face.

as i look down from my horse cant help but smile was the time i run away from palace at hampton court i found amazing gate house where i healed my broken heart and he wondered in think we were both sad but both made amends

He nods and smiles.
'Well, dear Cordelia, I see you are happy with him, I wish you all luck. Just remember who your father is... so behave in public, please.'

His eyes sadden as he stares at her.
'Well, I should be going now, I must look after my mule. I think I will need him tomorrow and he must be in good shape then.'

panics where are you going? will i see you again?

He looks at her and shrugs.
'I am not sure yet... that is for the king to decide. And you can see me any time you want, Your Highness, I will let you know where I am. Please, visit me some time, I would like that very much.'

He tries to laugh out loud.
'Well, rejoice, my child, I won't bother you anymore. I just hope one day you will realize I only wanted the best for you.'

Smiles I will love to visit you for you have been a second father to me

Henry took Margaret out to the stables and had horses prepared for them. He helped her onto hers and hefted himself onto his. "Do you know any nice trails around here? I think you might know the grounds better than I do," he saw her sitting perfectly erect upon her horse and smiled because he was also in his element.

Margaret thanked Henry for helping her on her horse and looked at him then around the grounds. "There is this beautiful little spot not to deep in the woods with a pond and completely surrounded by treess, hard to find if you havent been there, but I came acrossed it one time and remember the way well." She said, geting the perfect grip in the reigns. "Follow me!" She said, trotting off.

With a grin Henry followed Margaret's horse, not very far behind. The air was fresh and the heat was only mild. He kept gazing ahead at Margaret's figure perched in the saddle and admired how her blonde hair flowed down her back and how she kept her shoulders straight. He spurred his horse and trotted up next to her so they were even. "So this place we're going to, no one else knows of it?"

Margaret smiled at Henry, happy to have him with her. "Not that I know of. The day I found it I was riding alone and I got off my horse and walked for a little while when I walked through trees and found it. It was night and the moon was full, lighting up the entire pool and making it all seem like a dream." She remebered that beautiful night.

"It sounds like a wonderful place," he said. Soon they approached the spot, Henry glanced over at Margaret and saw in her eyes that she truly loved it. "This place has special meaning for you, and I'm flattered you chose to share it with me."

Margaret dismounted her horse and tied it to a tree and Henry did the same. "Its very special to me, I was missing home when I found it." Looks up at the sky and sees the moon rising, its night. "Come on, it will amaze you." She told him.
