Charles Brandon's Living Room

Margaret nodded and smiled 'We really did need this, but how about we go somewhere more comfortable? like the bedroom?' She asked.

"Charles nodded while smiling"

Yes...let's go in our bedroom, darling. Come...

"He helped her to stand up from table and took her in his arms. Breathing deeply her scent, he brought her until they bedchamber"

Margaret quickly went into the bedroom and get dried and changed before heading off outside.

Finally I have arrived at My Lord Suffolks residence, I am so excited to be in his presence where i come from he is spoken of very highly as of course he is one of His Majestys bestest friends. " My Lord its an honour to meet you"

"Charles had just ordered to servants to bring lugguages in the carriage. He wasready to come back to court with Catherine and introduce her to everyone as his wife. Suddenly his personal servant announced he had a visit, and once he saw a lady entering he stood up from his armchair and bowed"

My lady...welcome in my residence. What can I do for you?

"He asked kindly, even if rather surprised"

The look on My lord Suffolks face was rather amusing, after all i had just arrived unannonced.
Forgive me my Lord but i was wondering if you could introduce me to His majesty and his court. Im unfamiliar with these lands and need some guidance.

"Charles looked curiously at the woman and nodded"

But of course...I'm just coming back to court with my wife. So I can ask a private audience with his Majesty...lady?

"He asked, realizing he never met her in court before"

Forgive me my Lord my name is Maria Enriquez De Luna, Duchess of Gandia. To which court should i go to for the audience with his majesty?

"Charles bowed after she introduced herself and raised his eyes to her again"

As I told you, I'm coming back to Whithall Palace, my lady. Maybe my wife and I could escort you until there...

"He suggested, noticing she was a bit lost"

I curtsie and smile My Lord how very gracious of you that would indeeed be most helpful

"Charles smiled and showed her the sofa"

It's a pleasure for me. Would you like to sit and drink something? Sorry but my wife is resting in her room...

"He said kindly"

Thank you some wine think. How is your wife i hope she is well. Im very glad that you can help me Sir this is all so unfamiliar to me and you have been most kind welcoming me into your home.

"Charles poured some wine and handed her the glass before sitting next to her on the sofa"

You're welcome, my lady. My wife is very well...excited for her official introduction to court. And what about you, my lady? Are you married?

"He asked, taking another glass for himself"

Im as well as can be expected, As a take a sip of wine i look timidly at my lord. Alas my Lord i have no Husband perhaps you could introduce me to some dignatries at court as i am looking for a husband as i long for a son & heir.

"Charles smiled and shrugged a bit"

Oh...of course. Let's see what I can do. As you know, I know the King since my childhood...

"He answered and took a sip from wine"

I heard in my home of Spain that His Majesty is a very powerful & passionate man. Is he married with children? I would like you to introduce me to his majesty one day in the hope that we can be friends.

"Charles nodded and smiled kindly"

Of course...I will. Well. as you know, the King has a daughter, Princess Mary. But he has not a male child, and the Queen is now too old for that. That's why he is trying to divorce from her. Have you heard about King's great matter, my lady?

"He asked, taking another sip from wine"

I smile...... " A little my Lord as you know im related to Queen Katherine maybe if i knew more i would understand".

"Charles gulped after her sentence"

Oh yes...I remember perfectly. I'm sorry...I didn't mean that...Well, in any case, the King is fighting with the Pope to obtein his divorce. I'm sure you heard about that...

Sir i will be honest with you as youve been so kind to me. I know that His Majesty want a divorce for a very different reason although my aunt has not produced a male heir i belive his majesty has taken a mistress is that no so my lord?

"Charles took another deep breath and nodded"

Indeed...he wants to marry lady Anne Boleyn.And now that he appointed himself as Supreme Head of Church, I fear it will happen soon...

"He answered a bit hopelessly"

I do not know what to say to you my Lord Queen Katherine must be so unhappy yet His majesty has seen fit to have liasons with this Boleyn girl. Of course i will always be faithful to Katherine but am always his majestys humble servant.

"Charles nodded"

Of course...you're spanish and she is still your Queen. Have you already met Her Majesty?

"He asked curiously"

I look up at at my lord and pause........... No my Lord but i would very much like to. There are lots of people i would like to meet i smile at my lord

"Charles smiled her back"

Well...I heard that the Duchess of Naverre, lady Nan Saville, is back at court. She is going to arrange a party or something like this. Hope to meet you there, so you can meet new people...

"He suggested with a kind smile"
