Princess Margaret's Tomb

"After the Funeral, Charles entered in Margaret's Tomb. He ordered to servants to leave him, and walked inside alone. He reached the coffin with slow steps and stared at her cold, pale face. She still looked beautiful. Death hadn't stole her beauty yet. He felt his eyes filled with tears and bit strongly his lips, closing his eyes"

Margaret...

After the funeral I proceeded to the tomb where the princess was laid to rest. I saw my brother leaning over the coffin with tears in his eyes. "Charles, can I do anything for you?" I asked as I looked down at Margaret. She had brought so much love into his life if only for a moment.

"Charles was looking at Margaret with wet eyes"

I'm sorry...I'm sorry, Margaret...

"He whispered. A tear fell down on his cheek. Suddenly he heard a voice next to him. He turned his head and smiled weakly, surprised"

I realized he needed to left alone to say his final goodbye's. So I turned around and left the tomb.

"Charles watched his sister leaving silently. He turned to Margaret and couldn't refrain tears, this time"

It's my fault...I'm sorry...

"He felt tears running down on his cheek"

"Charles touched softly her cold hand. Then, still with wet eyes, he kissed his own fingers, and put them softly on Margaret's cold lips"

"He stared at her for a little while. It was hard to say her goodbye. He felt tears still running on his cheeks. Then he took a deep breath and left the Tomb with quick steps, without turning back"

As I enter Princess Margaret's tomb I place my hand on the marble, I miss you very much, please could you look after my mother for me as I quietly speak, I wish I had got to know you better, as tears start to build I sign the cross before leaving

"Charles decided to visit Margaret's tomb. He crossed as he saw her coffin. Suddenly he noticed he was not alone. Princess Cordelia was there. Surprised, he approached her slowly"

Your Highness...

"He bowed"

as i see Charles i curtsy your grace, as my eyes are still red

"Charles looked at Cordela and showed her a weak smile"

Your Highness...I'm surprised finding you here. Do you...come to visit your aunt often?

"He asked whispering, staring at Margaret's coffin"

i look behind me at the tomb no this was the first time, i was scared coming here but since i been ill i seen things differently now and i was asking my aunt if she could look after my mother for me as i wipe my eyes

"Charles frowened a bit after her words"

Have you been sick? Oh...I didn't now that. Hope everything is alright, now. Unluckily, Margaret's illness brought her to death. But I never stopped loving her...

"He added still whispering"

i am well now my father is still worried about me as i touch his arm you know i am here if you need anyone to talk to, i know what it is too lose someone so close to you, but you must know she will always be with you

"Chales glanced at her hand on his arm and nodded with a weak smile"

Thank you, Your Highness. I appreciate that. But you surely heard I'm going to marry again...

"His smile became warmer"

no i have not well congratulations, i been ill a while i have missed few things at court. as i move my hand and smile at him i wish you both happiness, i should leave you to it so you can spend sometime here, unless you wish for me to stay

"Charles smiled kindly while shooking his head"

Oh no...you can stay, my lady. And thank you for your congratulations. I really hope of being a good husband, this time...

"He whispered, glancing meaningfully at coffin"

Smiles am sure you did your best the first time but thing can only improve, I can not even think about who my father would pick for me, was you two scared when you married in secret. A few people have told me I should marry Lancelot in secret but I can not hurt my father.

"Charles frowned again and couldn't avoid to smile"

Do you love someone...secretely, my lady? Oh...you are in the same situation I was into years ago, then. But it was my fault. I suggested her to marry me secretely. I...I suggest you not to make the same mistake...

"He added, winking friendly at her"

yes, I love someone very much. The thing is you are a duke he is a soldier, he taken my heart. I will not marry him in secret as I could not look father in the eyes again. I can only dream that I maybe with him one day but that is all I can do. smiles weakly

"Charles took a deep breath, keeping his arms behind his back"

Well...I don't think the King will allow you to marry a soldier. But he is in love too, actually. So...who knows? Maybe one day he will accept that...

Smiles maybe, am please to see both you and him happy

"He nodded and turned towards coffin again"

I hope that too, my lady...

"Charles nodded again and showed her a warm smile"

They are very well, thank you. The Duchess of Buckingham just gave birth my last daughter. I named her Margaret...

"He added, looking at Margaret's coffin"
