Great Hall

I smiled at Lady Jane I would love to see the gardens, The gardens in France are also very beautiful this time of year, flowers are in full bloom and many colors. I looked around the room and saw a Young lady enter I smiled and curtsied to her.

Anne looked at the Lady who curtsied and she seemed confused before remembering the custom and she curtsied back, looking down at the floor with her brown orbs before standing back up and she simply smiled before taking another gulp from her goblet.

Francis walked into the hall after attending to some business that was at hand. He picked up a goblet of wine and walked around the hall, his eyes scanning some ladies and she had a small grin on his face before taking a drink from the goblet and he finally stopped beside a window and looked out it.

Elizabeth had been away from court for too long. She had missed her son terribly as well as her friends. She entered The Great Hall after having had some rest in her chambers. The journey back was exhausting. She took a goblet of wine from a server who happened to walking by her with a tray and stopped to offer her one. Smiling gently at him while taking a goblet, she turned and began to walk around, enjoying the music and laughter that filled the hall.

Sweeping through the great hall, my household form an honour guard around me as I am escorted through Whitehall. Seething with fury and trembling in fear, the material draped around me is held up by the arms of Marguerite and Agnes, who hold me protectively. It had been a horrific shock. It was an assault. He had dared to lay a hand upon her; a princess, a dowager queen and the King's sister. It was beyond belief... and yet had happened. Flanked by all of my Ladies-in-Waiting, I hurry through the chamber and desperately tried to reach the royal apartments before I lost my composure. As we move my laides call out for servants to find Charles and my brother. They should be told, I thought. They should know of the attack against my person. The tears that formed in my eyes burnt like the fires the cracked throughout Whitehall but I refused to show weakness. I was strong. I was gracefully. But most of all, I was regal. I would make sure that any and all that sought to shame or assult me and my family would live to regret their foolish and idiotic attempts. The Duke would be shown no mercy by myself, even if Henry did. He was Lady Anne's uncle, a Highborn noble and a member of the Privy Council... but I was higher born and had a greater name than he. I was a Tudor. And my attacker would learn to fear me for it. The words flew from my lips like a dragon spitting fire as I screamed out. "I want my Brother!!... I want the King!!"

My lady princess I have apologised to you about m y actions and I have spoken to the king as well.

Once again, spinning around to spar with him, my voice carries and fills the hall. "Then I shall hear what my brother has to say on the matter!" I screech, fury rising through me as I spit the words; each syllable more venomous than the last. "How dare you undress me! How dare you kiss me! If you have truly asked for my hand in marriage then I shall wait for the King to discuss it with me!... And until then, you do not touch me!" My eyes glared with a burning hatred; as if I spoke with the devil himself. "I am not your whore. I am no one's whore. I am your Princess and you would do well to remember that for the rest of you life." My ladies then proceeded on, guarding me with their lives as we carved our way through the courtiers that stood about the room.

I am truly sorry my princess and I have made an apology to both yourself and his majesty and the lord Suffolk and I am truly sorry I don't know what came over me.

*Coming to apologize to Princess Katherine I over heard what Thomas had said to her. That he did not know what came over himself. Why would he say that. Why would he not? To raise his station. Myself being gone ( what he says to himself ). And to wed Mary to some one of station and wealth. Should I believe that would let go this need to have the Princess as his wife*

Elizabeth we must go to Kennighall immediately and you know that I love you our daughter awaits our arrival come please. I will tell you about it all later.

Look Elizabeth I am glad you are here I can control myself when you are around and of course I would apologise and why would I want another wife anyway?

Geoffrey was walking along Hall bringing some wine to deliver in King's chambers. The Hall was empty. No one was around him. So he stopped for a moment and kept on staring outside window thoightfully. The morning's air was fresh and he could feel it on his face

Mary walks through the hall with quick feet with the hem of her skirt hiked up to make room for feet so she will not slip. When she gets to the big bay window, she bumps into a gentleman"I apologize, my lord. I shall be careful next time"

Geoffrey turned his head in time to see Queen's sister dumping in him. He shook his head and smiled

My Lady Mary..no need to apologize. It's my fault..I stopped here when I should have reach King's chambers. Hope you are not harmed..

He added worriedly

"Not at all" Mary said with a smile

Geoffrey smiled

Oh I'm glad to hear that. I noticed..that you were running, my lady. Is there something I can do for you? Maybe I can help..

He suggested looking at her

Mary replies with a smile"That won't be necessary.I am just in a hurry in order to not be late.

Geoffrey became curious

Oh..and where are you going..if I can ask? I was going to reach King's chambers. Should I give him a message?

"It is not His Majesty that I'm seeing, just a friend I have known since I was serving the Queen of France with my sister. Mary smiles"Now you must pardon me, I really must be going. I bid you Adieu, my lord."

Geoffrey stepped back

But of course. I don't want you to be late because of me. Please..forgive me, my Lady Mary. I wish you a good day..

He said before bowing before her
