I smile at her.

"You have a very large family my lady and it is nice to meet you cousin. Spain is always by you as long as i am it's princess.

My lady i would if i may like to stay here a while before my travels back to Spain."

I then sit down on a chair.

"I am pleased you shall think on my offer your Grace."

The Queen, Juana smiled kindly toward her "You are most welcome to stay here as long as you like, I have plenty of room for you to stay here with me. Besides I do enjoy the company of others" She welcomed this young Princess at her side "I know what it is like to be a woman in a man's world, us ladies must stick together don't you agree?" she winks at her and smiled once more sitting back in her chair then took a drink from her wine. She knew she had pressing matters in England to attend to, her servant comes in bringing her a letter from England stating alliances with England are stead fast and moving forward but her presence is required for it and with her ambassador she would travel

"It seems I am to go to England as well, my husband's brother writes to me that I am to meet with the King of England. I probably should rest before making my long journey but I will write with you and let you know when I am to come to Spain. I cannot wait to see it."

"You are indeed correct your majesty. Us ladies must stay together.

You say you must travel to England your Grace and i must return to Spain soon but i was hoping to remain here to spend some time in your country your Grace"

Subject: Re: Throne´s room Sat Feb 09, 2019 9:22 pm

Juana looked over at her and given her a warm smile "You may remain in my kingdom as long as you like, perhaps you would like to visit Calabria or Taranto, I find them to be most enjoyable. You need not have to return to Spain right away, you can spend time with my children while i'm in England, my husband will be present as well." she told her then rises to her feet "I should though rest before my travels, I leave tomorrow in the evening." she assures her Naples is just as much home to her as well and she orders her servants to prepare her things for the journey to England. She makes her way to her bed chambers then within the evening after she aboards a ship to England making her way there.

"Very well my lady i shall remain here in my apartments you have graciously provided for me and perhaps i could teach your children some Spanish and some traditional Spanish ways to prepare them for their journey to my kingdom upon your return my lady.

If i may ask your Grace may i see my chambers before you leave so as not to intrude" i say as i smiled at her

Juana nodded to her "Yes, as my children are in Taranto you may stay there if you wish, I have your chambers prepared, you may go there immediately when you are ready to the

They are made specially for your comfort, I'm sure you will find it quite comfortable there. I too grew up in Taranto. I hope you enjoy it there very much" she says with a warm smile to her. She has her servant bring the Princess of Castile to her chambers so she may rest.

"I am most grateful to you for your help my lady and i shall indeed travel to Taranto and spend time with your children and await your return here to Naples"

Juana had been Queen of Naples and Jerusalem for such a long time and now as she was Queen regnant she stood there in the throne room before placing herself on the throne, she was handling duties to the Kingdom, people always coming seeking her wisdom and decisions but sometimes her people mocked her husband as a fool, they governed the lands of Taranto and the lands surrounding Naples in there grasp and she had control of the Kingdom in Italy within Naples itself. Spain though was hardly a ally of hers but somehow she hoped to make one with the Hapsburg with a alliance stopping the bloodshed and the rivalry between Spain and Naples, considering they were cousins by blood through Joanna of Castile, who was locked away for madness being her cousin. But when she got word that Charles V of Spain had come to visit her, she risen her head at the man telling her who was a servant "Let him in" she commanded.

I am granted permission into Queen Juana's chambers and as I entered I bowed to her.

"Your Majesty I thank you for allowing me entry into your kingdom as I was not sure you would due to the history between our nations."

Subject: Re: Throne´s room Tue May 05, 2020 4:35 am

Juana looked at the Spanish Emperor her cousin who was related to her, she was hesitant on letting him in at first but for the peace of there nations she chose to anyways "As long as no threat will be between our two Kingdoms then friendship should be in order for us both, as long as no blood is spilled upon my lands for Spanish ambitions for what they thought was there own." She says looking up at him from her throne chair, "Are you a guest I can trust?"

Subject: Re: Throne´s room Sat May 09, 2020 7:07 am

I look closely at Juana and I did not want much more bloodshed between our nations either. I moved closer to her throne.

"Your Majesty I know that our nations have a history of bloodshed and violence but I have come here in the hope that some kind of peace can be reached between our nations. I was hoping that the best way for this would be by marriage my younger sister is unmarried and with it would also come an alliance with France as my sister Eleanor is soon to wed the French King Francis.

I myself am not like my ancestors who wanted war with your nation and in those Wars Spain lost many too but now all I would like is to come to some agreement with your Majesty if you would be willing to accept my offer of a marriage for my sister Isabella.

Subject: Re: Throne´s room Tue May 12, 2020 6:03 am

Juana was a clever young Queen, she was fully taught in the diplomatic ways but her brown hues glanced toward his majesty inviting him to sit beside her "So many lives have been lost, far too many. I am pleased you do not seek blood of my people for the ambitions to make Spain stronger." She paused a moment, there was no doubt she was a very beautiful young Queen, but her husband was a fool or seen as such to her people, although she loved her husband her people pressured her to cast him aside somehow which she often refused to obey such demands. Now she had the opportunity to ally herself with Spain, She listened to the Emperor mention his intentions with his sister, Eleanor to become Queen of France but offers another sister for Naples, her eyes turned toward him with interest "I have sons who are available and unmarried your majesty, my eldest son Ferdinand with my husband the King is much needing a bride. I will accept your proposal of marriage and a alliance but better yet as I have two sons we can make it a marriage of four. two of my sons and two of your sisters, I am told you have another sibling available for a marriage, I have met her and her name is Elizabeth. My sons Ferdinand and Peter are both seeking brides, Will you accept it, my offer? Or even my daughter Emma to be arranged in marriage with one of your own, she is a child now but I have her well taught in the Catholic ways."

Subject: Re: Throne´s room Sat May 16, 2020 7:22 am

I sit beside the young Queen following her request and I listened closely to the plans she had regarding a betrothal.

"It seems that we may of course be able to come to some sort of agreement my lady but first i must ask that I wish to meet these two sons of yours and then it has to be decided which one shall marry which sibling of mine. Tradition has it if you accept that the weddings take place in Spain where of course you will be invited should you accept. With these matches we will have peace between our nations and you will also have an alliance with France due to my sister Eleanor being about to marry the king. Your sons what age are they now my lady and if you are willing to meet both Isabella and Elisabeth to approve of them then I can send for them. I do believe that a match can be found for your daughter too.

Subject: Re: Throne´s room Thu May 28, 2020 5:41 am

Juana smiled at the Emperor "My son Ferdinand is now 20 years old and my son Peter is now 15 years of age along with his brother John being 16 years old " she confessed to the Emperor, although she had many children, one son she knew she couldn't leave out. "Although my son Arthur my eldest is much older, but only by a few years. I had him young with a husband I first married and it did not last. I knew I was destined for another, but he is the son of Arthur Pendragon, King of Camelot." she confessed to him once more while taking a seat, she was a mother to many children, her youngest daughter Emma was only seven of age almost and growing very much "But I admit I have a daughter also, Emma who I am told often by her father that she looks so much like myself your majesty. But your sisters may meet my sons, Ferdinand is a bit quiet but of wise mind and smart as well as most clever. My son Peter often tries to live up to the expectations of myself, both have made me very proud."

Allies with France though intrigued her and she peered her eyes toward him "And the King of France, would he want this alliance with my Kingdom or I your majesty?"

Subject: Re: Throne´s room Thu Jun 04, 2020 9:06 pm

"It sounds like you have a large family my lady and I would like a meeting with your sons with my sisters too if that pleases you. I cannot make any agreements until I have met with them properly and spoken with them. This Arthur you speak of I heard things that he is meeting in England with a princess of Sweden or am I mistaken?

My sister Eleanor is soon to become Queen of France and of course allies with France would be ideal. She has of course requested your presence in France to discuss terms of a treaty with you and I do hope you will accept?

Subject: Re: Throne´s room Thu Jan 21, 2021 7:52 pm

Juana looked at her cousin the Emperor and shook her head "Well yes I do have a large family but this Arthur you speak of is not a son of mine but I have heard much of this Arthur, this Arthur Plantagenet you speak of. I heard he is a good young lord, and as you say promised perhaps to a Princess of Sweden, I heard too that she is very beautiful" She admitted to him and smiled but his ideas of allies with France made her curious "Allies with France, my family had much bad blood with France in the past but I think if France agrees to uphold in this alliance with me, I do not see a single issue why not. Naples and Jerusalem my Kingdoms need allies, especially as I myself am a new Queen for some years now. To have allies with your majesty and France is exactly what I need."
