Secluded lake

Thomas smiled at her words and saw her cheeks turn scarlet "Are you certain? I don't want to make you do something your not ready for." He proclaimed as he held her and brushed his hand along side her flushed cheek.

She closed her eyes and turned her cheek instinctively into his touch. It was bittersweet and wonderful, the warmth of his fingers against her face.

Absolutely certain... I love you and I want to be yours completely.

Catherine said, looking right into his eyes, her heart pounded so fiercely she could hear it's drumbeat in her ears. She was nervous, yes, but she trusted him, she loved him, and she wanted him.

Thomas smiled happily as he heard her words of consent. "And I love you. Come with me to my chambers" He took her hand and led her to his chambers.

William had gone back to his lands for a couple of months and was starting to restore his family home. So that he would have something stable to offer his sweetheart Mary. Before they would marry, he had planned to take her there to show her around and get to know some of the land tenants who worked for him. Before the palace awoke William slipped a note under Mary's door asking her to meet him.

Mary arrived just in time when she read William's letter "You wanted to see me, William?" She says hoping everything is alright.

*I thought to myself is this not a beautiful place. A place to feel calm, warm. I wanted to come here to get away from everything that I was feeling. All of the pain that I felt. To think about what to do next with my life. Maybe I will enjoy what I have and not worry about everything else. The rest will take care of itself.*

William smiled as he noticed Mary approaching. Clearing his throat and smoothing back his hair he began to talk. "Mary as you know we have both grown rather fond of each other. Despite the fact that your family would never allow us to be together. I have been back to my lands tending to things I would like you to come back with me.To see exactly what you would be marrying into should we ever choose to." William smiled, eager to await her response to his suggestion and if she would accept it.

"I would love to." Knowing that that she had a plan or two to do, it wouldn't hurt for her to put them aside for William.

Excited by her choice William scooped Mary up into his arms, twirling her around in their little bubble of happiness.

Mary smiles and giggles as she is spun around. She could hardly wait to start a life with William, just like Mary wanted.

After a few seconds of spinning his beloved Mary around the stars looked like they were exploding in the sky. A sign of approval that they were finally to be man and wife all this time had finally led to this. Tonight we shall travel to my modest country home and marry, I shall promise to love you always Mary. I appreciate what you will give up to marry a commoner as I.

Mary didn't care whether he was wealthy or poor. The only thing that she cares about is that she loves him more than he loves her.

Unless of course you want to wait and court a little longer. No matter what Marys' answer was I loved her ever since I first saw her all those years ago back in Calais.

"It seems a bit soon for marriage. I hope you don't mind waiting a bit longer." Mary says

For William had always loved Mary ever since he laid eye's on her all those years ago back in France. When he was fighting the Calais campaign and Mary is a lady in waiting for a more modest family back in the day. It feels as though I have loved you a lifetime sweetheart. Neither of them were fools so he reasoned there was no reason to rush what was between them. Deep down William knew that no other apart from his sweet Mary would satisfy him.

Mary smiled as she wrapped her arms around his neck "Indeed you have." She thought her heart could never love again after the loss of her husband. The day that she fell in love with William was the best. "Not day goes by when I'm with you."

You are very precious to me Mary. William took her delicate hand which fitted so perfectly inside of his and started guiding Mary back inside. I hope with all celebrations going on you can sneak away.

Mary smiles as she looks at him "I never thought about it, but I will find a way."

It felt all bittersweet to William when Anne was Queen the Boleyn family would try and find a suitor for Mary. As the future queens sister marriages would come about for all the family. If you cannot slip away, I shall understand these are big times for your family. All eye's shall be cast upon you all.

Richard was walking along garden alone, glancing around. He took a deep breath and enjoyed fresh air while stopping next a tall tree

I decided to go for a walk by the lake in the garden and get some fresh air when i am passing by a tree i see a young man glance towards me as i pass.

Richard recognized Anne of Cleves and smiled warmly at her

Lady Anne! I wasn't aware you were in England. I'm very glad to see you. How are you and your sisters?

He asked kindly while smiling

"My lord Richard it is good to see you again i do hope you are well.

I my lord attended the coronation feast of the new queen invited by lord Brandon.

Richard nodded at her words

Lord Brandon...King's best friend, isn't he? I'm glad you're here, Lady Anne. Your sisters are busy in Bavaria, I suppose..

He replied

"Yes Lord Brandon is the kings friend and they are very close.
