Tudor Garden

His words made me blush.I turned my face away slightly to hide it.

''Thank you so much for your kind words,my lord''

I said,looking at him again.

He held my hand in his, long after he had done speaking , and kept his eye fixed on me tenderly.then I nodded sadly.

''Yes she isn't feeling very well these days, I fear that I will lose her...''

I gently squeezed his hand in gratitude,feeling tears in my eyes.I took a deep breath to calm myself before I said.

''Thank you,my lord...That is very kind of you to offer and it means a lot to me more than I can say''

He touched my cheek , the softest , most loving caress made me feel better.

''I hope so with all my heart...she and my brother are everything that I have''

I said,looking at him.

I sighed deeply.

''I always worry to much,but as you said probably everything will be fine...''

I smiled and my eyes sparkle at thought that he will soon be part of my family.Then I said softly, looking at him.

''I didn't forget...how can I forget? When it is something that pleased me very much,your Grace''

I smiled happily and nodded looking at the tree that he choose.

''Oh yes, that would be lovely,my lord..''

We sat down under an oak tree that seemed to be alive with the joyful sound of birdsong,it feels pretty magical.I smoothed out my drees, giggling a little at his words.

''I used to sitting on grass very often when I was young...It is a wonderful feeling, and I forgot about it.''

I said,smailing happily.

''My lord,you know everything about my family and I don't know anything about yours.I would love to know more about you,my lord...So if may ask you tell something about your family?''

I asked curiously,looking at him.

I became lost in thought because I could not relate to his childhood. How awful it must have been to lose your parents at such a young age. But looking into his eyes, made me realize how much I was drawn to him. Such warmth but hiding so much pain.

''I am very sorry for the loss of your parents. That must have
been very difficult for you and your brother.''

I said,looking at him softly.

as i walk in the Tudor garden i hear voices walk towards them as i recognise the voices come around from behind a bush and see Royce and Mary talking underneath a tree seeing a sparkle know she wears the engagement ring. Stopping feeling my heart beat fast and coming over hot. As my heart beats faster i can almost hear it, unsure what to do i stop for a few seconds.

I listened to him carefully while he spoke about his life.

''The King James sound like very good man...But please my lord tell me more about your brother.Is he married?''

I turned my head and looked at him curiously.

''Did you fought in many battles?Oh please forgive me,my lord...I ask too many questions''

I said,blushing.Then I looked around garden as I heard some noise.

''Yes I have...but it is probably nothing important to get us worry''

I hear them carrying on talking fearing they do not care about me, I do one thing am good at and that is running so I quickly turn around and run dropping my necklace onto the floor i run though the palace. Heading for the main entrance

I nodded, blushing and covering my pink cheeks.

''I would like to met your brother one day...Do you miss Scotland and your brother?''

I looked around and noticed a necklace by bush next to the tree where we are sitting.I reached it and looked carefully at necklace.It looks so familiar,than I remembered this was the necklace I gave Cordelia for her birthday.But what her necklace is doing here next to bush?

Royce nodded, looking thoughtfully around

Of course, I miss him. But he writes to me very often...then I know he is in good health. And also King James...

He stopped suddenly, as he saw Mary with a necklace in her hands

Whose is that?

He asked curiously

I galanced at him and said softly.

''I am glad to here that they are both well''

I looked down at the necklace in my hands,and replied.

''It is the necklace I gave Cordelia for her birthday.I found the necklace here next to this bush,she probably lose it while she was walking here in garden. I will give her back her necklace later when I visit her ''

I looked at him in disbelief.

''Did you saw her?Maybe it wasn't her,but if she saw us talking then I do hope that she is not upset...My heart can not handle to see her again upset because of me''

I said, with great sadness in my voice,knowing that if she was here and saw us she would be probably very upset.

I said sadly,still looking at the necklace.

''Oh it seams that you don't know her very well... Believe me my lord for her this would be much more than talk.She is very young and hurt so she see all things in wrong way.''

I looked up at him when he took my hand in his and smiled a little.

''But then why I feel so guilty?...Then she is very lucky to have your affection,my lord and I hope too and wish with all my heart for her to be happy as I am when I'm with you,my lord.''

I said,blushing a little.Then galanced at the necklace and added .

''Oh then you can give her back the necklace,she would probably like to see you more than me.''
