Parliament Hall

He was quiet, listening calmly to Fisher's speech, not even saying anything as others bellowed and growled in dissension.

Fisher clenched his fists, calmly observing the reactions to his short speech. He said no more, his position was clear.

Geoffrey was told to attend the sitting of Parliament to announce the King. He knew what's going to happen: a very important meeting between the King and Clergy. But as servant, he knew no more details about that. So, as he saw the King joining the Hall, he just stood up and shouted

Get up before the King!

Thomas was in the Hall too. This was his last public appearance as Chancellor. But no one knew that, yet. He was next to Bishop Fisher, the only one who shared his same religious thoughts in court. He stood up like everyone once the King was announced

Fisher sat noticing the king looking over at him and Thomas. Their was something in his glance Fisher did not like. He noticed that George and Thomas Boleyn was here too. They were not men of god they were men of greed Fisher thought to himself. His face was motionless as he waited for the verdict to be brought to the king.

Geoffrey waited that everyone were sitting at their places again. There was silence in the Hall. Then he stood up again and shouted

The session of the Parliament is open!

Thomas was seated in the crowd next to his son George, both of whom looked anxious to hear the verdict.

Geoffrey saw Bishop Tunstall entering. Everyone was looking at the cushion in his hands

But he could barely stand on his feet. The old Bishop bowed and knelt before the King, placing the cushion at his feet

Geoffrey looked at Bishop Tunstall. The old Bishop raised his eyes looking up at the King

"Your Majesty, here is the submission of Clergy to Your Majesty's will.."

"There, now the church is broken," he whispered proudly to George.

Fisher kept his composure even though inside he was clearly very angry at these turn of events. Without moving he stared straight ahead and spoke silently.

I never thought I would live to see this day in England.

George sitting next to his father smirked gladly to the news.

People in the Hall started murmuring. Geoffrey looked at Bishop Tunstall again:

"With my respect, Your Majesty.."

Thomas sighed deeply in front of all this and he leaned towards Fisher's ear

Now, as law of Parliament, heretics are free to wander the streets of London without control..

Fisher noticed that weasel Boleyn smirking as if it was all his idea. When in actual fact he just did what his father commanded.

If I could weep tears of blood sir Thomas I would.

He looked at the king as if his eyes were looking at his very soul.
