Main Entrance

I wish for you to stay so I can see our daughter be born as I have been banished from England for the time being. You can leave after the child is born if you like. I am nearly begging at this point. I need to see my child be born. Cordelia and my unbkrn daughter are my ljfe.

I would take much longer than a few months if at all. Please go inside. I have to live with these memories as well....everyday. I nearly drop to my knees. I wish she would just listen to me. I look towards the castle for a brief moment and look back to her...

Your mother's people who didnt look closely that I was precontracted, which I didnt even know about, branded you a whore. Not me. So lay your blame elsewhere. I shake my head. She has no idea what is in my mind yet she presumes she does. I take a deep breath then look to her. I would tell our daughter that her mother loves her, with every fiber in her.

I arrived at Ballindalloch Castle on a sunny day, but my mind was focused only on finding Cordelia. I made my way to the entrance, showing my papers of recommendation from the king, to show I was no enemy and no spy. 'I hope you're here, Cordelia' I whispered as I walked in, seeing the gigantic main hall.

My garden walk was interrupted by the bell used to indicate that there is a visitor at the castle. I rush out to the entrance and see a man not familiar to me. With a small portion of my household, I await the visitor to approach more closely.

I saw a young man come forth and knew from his description to be Prince Edward of Shetland. I bowed. 'Your Highness, I'm Sir Francis Bryan, just come from the court of King Henry VIII. I am on a mission and I hope you will be able to help me...'

I tilt my head slightly, arrogantly, I am Prince Edward, the newly discovered son of His Majesty, the late King of Scotland, King James. I find it a bit suspicious that the King of England would send someone like you to me and not to the Scottish court but I shall attempt to help you in what you need. All of a sudden, as I am speaking, a lady comes out and tells me that my child is on its way. Immediately I smile. You must excuse me, my child us about to be born. I need to be there. Please make yourself at home my lord. I smile, turning around to head to the birth.....

Edmund had treaded across the border to meet with his sister before he went to court. The palace was grew and quiet-nothing like Greenhalgh.
He dismissed his retinue and allowed them the freedom of rest as he ventured inside.

I stand at the entrance door, waiting for the Duchess to arrive. Since I have recieved her letters, my mind has beenina bit of shambles. I am married to the love ofmy life but yet that may be gone before I can blink.

Yes of course. I lead her to my study...
