"Charles was still at his table with lady Ursula and Catherine. He hadn't had time talking with Nan about his recent engagement. He listened Ursula's words about the Duke of Bedford and glanced secretely at her"

I walked into the hall and smiled, of course ursula was already here and of course she would be flirting with the king's best friend! I was shocked to see the Princess Mary here, I smiled warmly at her hoping she would be free to approach me later.

I found Anne at the great hall, looking so beautiful I had to do a double take. I quickly walked up behind her and put my hands on her waist. "God Anne, you look stunning," I whispered into her ear. Her perfume was intoxicating. I hoped she wore it just for me.

I gasped as someone grabbed me from behind, it was Edward's voice that I heard. I turned my head and looked intensely into his eyes, this was a side to Edward I had not seen before, and it excited me. I lifted an arm and stroked his face, 'I can not wait to have you all to myself.' I quickly lowered my hand as I saw the princess arriving, 'Princess Mary is coming over' I whispered,
I gave her a curtsy, 'Dear Mary, this is such a pleasant suprise for me! I have missed you. This is my fiance Edward Seymour.

'I hope you are staying strong?' I brought myself closer to her, knowing she had to be careful in what she said.

" I am happy to meet you Mr.Seymour." Mary give friendly her hand to Mr.Seymour.
" I am happy that Anne found a so handsome men."
" Anne you must be the happiest woman of this court."
Mary speech a little bit lower

"Anne i have hear that you are in friendship with Lady Ursula Misseldon.
There was an incident with Duke of Bedford.He has behaved towards her shabby.
Lord Suffolk was help her but i don`t know what it was.Perhubs you can ask her."

Mary look to the table where sit Ursula.

Thomas More wrote:

Thomas smiled tenderly at Princess Mary, clearly disappointed for her mother's absence. He turned to Norfolk

Yes...the King was rather angry at last Council. After all...he is right. Wolsey made some mistake, yes. But he was an excellent admin of Henry's Kingdom. Anyone can deny that...

Norfolk nodded though he was only half listening, he caught Bess' gaze and smiled at her.
As Lady Alice also spoke he woke up and bited his lips, grimacing.

Wolsey acted as if he was the king himself! I won't deny he ruled the kingdom effectively though I hated his methods. he shook his head, even the thought of the Cardinal annoyed him.

He will soon be forgotten. he waved his hand. I am happy to see you as Lord Chancellor, Thomas! A pious man with principles who will sail a straight course! How do you like it so far? he asked, his attention now set on Thomas though he kept an eye on Bess.

Thomas noticed Norfolk's glance. Who was that lady? He pretended not to notice that and nodded

Yes...maybe you're right. But I don't think he will be forgotten so easily...

Then he turned to Alice and poured her some wine

Bess stays next to LadyAnne and takes a biscuit With cream and strawberry on it. All the time her eyes are focused on Thomas and she biites the delicious red fruit looking deeply into his eyes, a little cream on her lips and she licks it softly meanwhile she sees the way he smiles. She wants to sit down on his lap and show everyone she is his woman.

The look we shared was provocative and I moved my head to kiss her hand. "Soon, my love," I whispered in reply. As Princess Mary approached us I returned to my usual demeanor. I bowed slightly to her. "It is an honor to meet you, Highness." I gave a respectful nod.

Ursula notice that Lord Suffolk listen at her but he look at another Lady when she speek.
" My Lord what you think about the situation with the King and Lady Anne?"

"He turned his head towards Ursula and frowned a bit"

Oh...I don't like her so much, sincerely. But as King's best friend and loyal subject, I have to respect his choice...

"He answered, glancing at royal table"

As I watch Mary talk to a lady I look around he hall and say to the queen who joined us How are you finding court?

I join the Christmas party in a dull mood. Looking around I see many people laughing,smiling, and being merry. I take a goblit of wine and down it quickly as I walk around hoping this night would soon end.

Dorothy walks around and notices her brother looking quite glum. She decides to cheer him up by surprising him. "Why so glum my lord Seymour?"

Ursula sigh.

" Yes we must respect the choice of the King.I am sorry but she will never be a Queen for the people
of England they love Queen Katharina so much and Lady Anne is not so virtuous how the King believe."

Ursula take a gulp of wine.

Mary smilied friendly to Anne Stanhope and Edward Seymour.
" I hope you have fun at the Christmas party."
She nod to both.
She look to the King and she relize that she take no notice of her only Lady Anne.
She lift up her head and went through the hall to his father.
She make a bow and smilied friendly
" Your Majesty i wish you a merry christmas ."
Mary ignored Lady Anne.

Anne was looking at Mary with insensitive eyes.She was her enemy because of her mother and she wasn't support Anne.No matter what Mary does, Anne was sitting next to the King.She laughed half-hearted.

She smiled as Thomas poured her some wine, and she took a light sip, enjoying the taste of the spices that were mixed in with it. "Thank you my love.. yes I think people will focus more on the cardinal's strong will to become pope, and his achievements will be overshadowed by his love for power, unfortunately." She took Thomas's hand in hers upon the table. "I don't believe I've said it yet, but Happy Christmas, darling." She smiled.

I entered the christmas party.
This was the first time I visited England.I was nervous...
A chamberlain exclaimed: "Her royal highness the princess Quiteria of Navarre"...
I entered smiling.I was happy to be in the english court.

As I enter the Christmas party I made my way to the table where Lady Anne sat with Henry I curtsy Merry Christmas Majesty and Anne,

Mary is aghast that her father take no notice of her. She is very disappionted.
Mary go through the hall.
Tears run down on her face her foods feel so heavy.
In the middle of the hall she feel down insensible.
