"That would sound brilliant." Victoria smiled at the thought about having a place in Tuscany "Lizzie would get to play with Lord Leonardo's daughter more often." Her Lizzie was due for a playdate "His majesty is indeed infatuated with Lady Anne Boleyn. My father happens to be in his social circle and I could arrange a meeting." she then looks off in a distance "unfortunately I have heard that Papa is banished from court for awhile for saying things about Lady Anne that His Majesty doesn't believe."

Francesca brightened. She didn't know that Vicotria had a small daughter. It was a beautiful novelty for her.
"You have a little daughter? Oh, it's beautiful. I love children with all my heart. I hope that one day I'll have mine."
She thought about the fact that she'll have to have a son. But even so she'll be happy. When the dialogue turned to Lady Anne, Francesca tensed. She didn't know why she was so interested to this unknown woman. Probably because some courtiers often talked about her.
"I think that it would be interesting to know her. I've heard a lot of rumors, but I don't know what is true. Your father doesn't like her, don't he? One of the rumors is that Anne isn't too popular..."

"Yes, my Lizzie is such a joy to me." Victoria smiles"I wonder if Papa doesn't like her for religious reasons or something." she then starts to think "I have heard people say she is nice." she tucks a stray stand of hair behind her ear "apparently we support the Spanish born Queen from what I have heard."

"I would like to have little daughter too. It's my great wish."
Francesca smiled with a dreamy expression on face. Having a child was her dream.
"It's possible. Several rumors concerning had a similar topic. She's apparently different from the previous Queen. I remember at Katherine of Aragon, she was so kind. But unfortunately she didn't have a son."

"She did have a son before she had Princess Mary. But, sadly he only lived for a few days." Victoria remembers being told about Queen Katherine before coming to court "I would love to have you come to England someday. The forest is more beautiful in Winter."

"Oh yes, her son didn't live long. If he had been alive, the King wouldn't want a divorce."
Francesca knew about Queen Catherine very little things. What a pity that she won't be able to meet her at court.
"This is a tempting offer. Winter I hardly know here, so I'll glad to come. Horseback riding in the snow must be a wonderful experience."

"Horseback riding is more enjoyable in the Fall." Victoria was due for riding a horse "A stroll is best in the Winter." she smiles "What can one enjoy in a season in this beautiful Country?"

"Then I'll have to do a longer visit to England. The thought that I could be there whole year I like very much."
Francesca smiled and imagined what it could do in England.
"Here is almost always warm weather, so here you can really do anything. Several ladies like to ride in a boat on the water, and men love hunting. But here are many places for walking. And we all love dancing."
Tuscany was a country where could live many adventures.
