Margaret Wyatt's Cell

Margaret giggled "Yes..M word is since now forbidden. And I can't wait to start a new life. You have your russian count, at least.." She added ironically and hit softly and jokingly her leg. But after a moment of silence she sighed deeply "Do you think that Thomas is already doing something to help me? I trust in anyone else but him.." She sighed again and rested her head against wall

Margaret smiled and she shook her head "Oh..don't say so, Elizabeth. Your presence here helps me alot. I really don't know how to thank you.." She smiled brightly again "But talk me about this count. What's his name?" She asked trying to change topic and to forget the place she was

Margaret smiled weakly and she took a breath "I hope you'll find out soon, then. So you'll avoid mistakes, Elizabeth. Sometimes people are not what they look like..especially men.." She sighed and raised up her knees until her chest. She wrapped them with her arms and looked at her "Niklaus..what a mysterious name.." She giggled

Margaret thought for a moment and nodded "Yes..it's your right to know who he really is. I should have do the same, before marrying that.." She was going to add something but she stopped. She just rolled her eyes and sighed "Be careful. Don't force him or he'll run away. If he is really interested in you, he'll open his heart to you spontaneusly. You'll see.." She smiled, finding so funny giving love's advices in her situation

Margaret smiled and she rubbed softly her arm "Oh..why he shouldn't Elizabeth? If he has serious intentions, he will look for you.." She tried to reassure her but she noticed Elizabeth's face was still sad and concerned. She took a breath and gulped "Elizabeth..have you...have you intention to give your virginity to him?" She asked suddenly

Margaret took a deep breath after she finished talking. She knew that feeling but she tried to smile "I know..I know how you feel, Elizabeth. Love should be reciprocal..and it should make you happy. But...if there is something in him that scares you, so..maybe it's better for you to stay away from him.." She stopped and thought for a short moment "Hmm..I don't know. You're making me curious and I'd like to see him. How does he looks like?" She asked giggling softly

Margaret smiled while listening her and she opened her mouth "Elizabeth..you talk like a woman in love. Your eyes shine when you talk about him, and I never saw you so happy. But..be carefully. I don't want to see you suffer.." She giggled softly and took her hand "And if your blonde fallen angel hurts you, I'll smash his face.." She giggled again

Margaret tried not lo laugh and bit her lips "Uhm..I recognize that glance, Elizabeth. Maybe you like him, but you're very close to fall in love. Don't make efforts to deny it. There is nothing bad, after all.." She said and lowered her blue eyes "And I think a part of me envy you.." She admitted and sighed deeply

Margaret raised her eyes and smiled brightly "Hmm..and you still say it's not love? By the way, I'm happy for you, Elizabeth. I say I don't want men in my life. But...deeper inside me, I wish the same happiness for myself. Someone who makes me feel alive. Just hope not to be here for too long.." She sighed and removed her blonde curls from her neck. It was summer and the cell was rather warm

I looked at her and thought. I think i am going to go back to wolfhull for a bit. He probably has someone at court for him. I really want you to get out of this prison and if you like i shall catch up with your brother to see how he is getting on for you. I really did want her out of this pitt. I stood up and shake down my dress smiling

Margaret stood up with her and she smiled her back "Oh..of course. I don't want to keep you here further, Elizabeth. Thanks for coming and don't worry, I'll be alright. We'll see each other at court soon.." She smiled and hugged her tightly. She felt not scared anymore and that everything will be alright

Margaret watched the guard pulling Elizabeth out from her cell and she grabbed the bars "Don't worry about me. You're like a sister too, Elizabeth..and we'll see each other soon. And if you see Thomas, please tell him that I'm alright. Don't be worried..and be careful with your count.." She almost shouted while the guard was bringing Elizabeth away. She sighed and closed her eyes, hoping all this could end soon

Geoffrey was sent in the Tower by the King himself. He had his sentence with him and he had to read it to lady Wyatt. He was escorted until her cell by two guards. Once entered, he noticed she was rather scared. But he smiled and bowed

My lady, I bring you a letter from court. The King himself sent it to you. Am I allowed to read it?

He said with neutal voice, holding the parchment in his hands

Margaret was sitting on her bed. Lost in her thoughts. She sighed silently when she heard door knocked. Servant came into room. He semed really tired. Then she noticed he was the servant from court. Margaret saw little red rose on his shirt. She suddenly stood up and looked at servant's face carefully "Yes?" She asked with a curious voice. Letter? It must be a order from king. He forgave her or other option.. No she didnt want to think that. She just focused on his face and waited

Geoffrey cleared his throat, looking at the letter. Then he unrolled the parchment and kept on reading with official tone

"To lady Margaret Wyatt,
My lady Wyatt,
I wanted writing to you personally, considering that you're at a dear friend of mine's service, lady Alfonsina Garcia. After a very long reflection, and after accurate investigations, I arrived at a final verdict. In my opinion, there was no intention in you to kill that man. You did it not willingly. It was just a bad consequence trying to defend your honour. Because of this, I judge you innocent from that accusation of murder. I give you your freedom back, and you're allowed of coming back at court.
My best wishes and regards
Henry VIII Tudor
King of England"

Geoffrey raised his eyes to her after reading

Congratulations, my lady

While Margaret was listening servant, her heart was beating madly. She was scared to hear word "death". No. Its over. Servant finished letter and he cong. her. She couldn't believe what she heard. Nobody could prove that she was a murderer. She was free finally! She sighed deeply and had to sat on her bed. Her knees were shaking. She looked at servant with a smile and nodded "Thank you so much! Can I go back to court now?"
