Royal Gardens

I smiled sweetly,looking around the garden.

''You do not have to ask my permission,my lord...''

He took my hand and I looked at him,it seemed as if his thoughts are far away.

''My lord are you alright?it seems as if something is troubling you..''

Royce shook fastly his head and smiled, holding tightly her hand

Oh...of course, I'm alright. I was just thinking...about Queen's Trial at Blackfriars. Will you be there too, dear?

He asked, trying to change topic

I was leaning over him, holding tightly to his left hand, listening.I frowned at the mention of Queen's Trial .

''I don't know yet...I am still looking for a way to avoid to go to Queen's Trial,but If my brother ordered me then I will definitely have to go.I suppose that you are going to be there?''

I asked a little absent,thinking about Trial .

Royce Westmoreland wrote:

Royce nodded, smiling at her

Yes...I think I'll attend to. I mean...I'm going to become his brother in law. Then I have to show him my support...

He looked around. Then took a breath and turned to her

Maybe it's time to go back to Palace. I've many things to prepare before leaving for Blackfriars. May I...accompany you until your chambers, Mary?

He asked gently, offering her him arm

I giggled softly to myself.

''My brother would love this answer it is quite diplomatic...Oh I didn't even noticed how late it is we should go back in Palace.You may,my Lord''

I nodded and placed my hand gently in his offering arm.Then we started to walk towards the palace.

Wolsey answered thoughtfully while they walked on.
'I do trust him, Your Majesty, he is one of the least biased people I know. And the emperor's soldiers hurt him personally. While entering Rome, they looted his house. I don't think he feels any affection for Charles.'

Wolsey kept walking, relaxed at the outside but sighing inwardly. Henry had no idea what difficulties lay in the way and since he never burdened Henry, he would not burden him now, while he was already that impatient. He smiled weakly.

'Your Majesty should not worry so much... there are only some technical difficulties to be solved, that's all!'

Wolsey faded and fell on his knees before Henry.

´Your Majesty! I swear to you and to God on my word of honor that I am your most loyal servant en that there is nothing more in the world that I want than to support your divorce. To achieve this is my constant care and my most fervent wish, for which I am prepared to give my body, my life and my blood, so help me God!´

He could not speak anymore and hid his face in his hand, totally upset.

Wolsey was still too upset to stand up by himself and accepted gratefully Henry´s help, though even standing upright he felt like he would fall again. He could not speak and just listened at Henry´s words, his eyes lowered, he knew this was not just a statement of an impatient king, but a reflection of his mind and Henry distrusted him now, no matter what he said. He also sensed the agitation in him and knew they were driven apart on purpose, his enemies were obviously on the winning hand and their strong bond seemed finally broken, even though Henry looked almost as upset as him.

Rebecca came to the gardens and looked around. She couldnt see anyone and decided to wait for Cordelia, curiously looking around

See's Rebeeca from the Privy garden chases after her Rebecca

Rebecca turned and saw Cordelia. She smiled and made a bow
Hello my dear lady. I am very glad to see you again.Ow, I see you've worn my present. I am honored Rebecca made a bow once more and looked at Cordelia.

smiled at Rebecca and curtsy Sorry your grace please forgive me for my manners and thank you for my present

Oh my lady! You have very good manners and moreover, I dont think we should use it so much while we are alone. Rebecca smiled
I hope to become friends with you, dear Cordelia. Tell me about this palace, about the court...you know, I am a new person here..

smiles of course i want you to be my friend i do not have many here at court as soon as they find out who i am the do not want to know, the palace is recently finished

What do you mean, my lady? asked Rebecca while walking with Cordlia hand by hand.
Ah, by the way, I saw his Majesty, your father seemed to me very kind person, I think he loves you very much,dear Cordelia! And never say you havent friends here,I am sure, such lovely person as you are must have lots of friends!

No I do not as most people are older then me or younger that's not many my age, once people find out that my father is the king they treat you differently smiles as she takes my hand

Ohh, yes... My father is not a king, but when people learnt that he was a duke of Cornwall their attitude to me changed at once Rebecca smiled
I felt myself free only when I was traveling. I have been to Ottoman Empire and I did my best for no one new my level in society. Ohh..it was such trip... If it doesnt seem to you boring, I can tell you about it...

smiles i would love to hear about ut i so much long for adventure to see places, smell other smells instead am stuck here

Well, dear Cordelia, when it's time you'll see far away lands, I am sure in it. As you have already noticed, I have a kind of hobby- I love jewelry so much and ornaments, gold, diamonds- everything Rebecca smiled, proving her words by showing Cordelia her hands with bracelets and rings.
And everybody knows, there is no better place to find a good jeweler than Ottoman Empire. Also I started to learn the language of Ottoman Empire- my father had many connections with sultans, that's why it was very interesting for me to visit this country. Rebecca smiled as they went on walking with Cordelia hand by hand.
