Blissful Summer Feast

Queen White enters the room with two of her ladies in waiting. Smiling she walks toward Nan and bows. She speaks in a friendly way "Welcome back to the court my friend, I am so glad you are here. How has been your time away?"

Nan was taking little sips from her wine and watching around. It was getting crowded and she liked it. She saw some familiar faces but she was still looking for Anne. Suddenly she heard someone called her name and turned around.

Oh your majesty!

She said surprisedly and bowed deeply with a big smile.

It is so nice to see you again. Thank you very much! You look delightful

She said with her kindest voice and shining eyes.

Victoria smiles as her father introduces her to his wife. "it's a pleasure to meet Lady Catherine. He has told me much about and you look beautiful in person." Victoria also bowed her slightly in respect also. "ever since he talked so much about you, I have been wanting to meet you."

"Charles sat down again and a warm smile came on his lips"

Ohh...it's so nice seeing you both finally talking. I'm sure you'll be good friends. You know, someone doesn't like the idea of having a stepmother. But you both have almost the same age...

"He said looking at Catherine with a tender glance"

Im finally here and all these new people. Of course Im a little shy but hope someone will come and say hello. And of course thank you to my Lord Suffolk for informing me of this occassion

Catherine looked at him with a smile then at Victoria "I will not have to be called step mother, we shall be good friends if you wish it." she said softly "I also heard you have a beautiful child."

"indeed. Her name is Elizabeth and she is the sweetest child if you met her." she smiles as she signals the servants for some wine

"I don't mind at all. You can visit any time you would like she said as she receives the wine and takes a sip "I think it's possible to be us like friends. It could make the relationship a bit easier." she looks at her father and then smiles back to Lady Catherine

Anne looked at Thomas Wyatt for a moment and she saw Nan. She smiled and walked up to her. She opened her arms and hugged Nan.

"Nan Saville! Where were you?"

ff99ff]"Catherine Willoughby"]She smiled at Catherine "I would like to visit her." she admitted to her and she kept her smile "I would like to be friends" she said to her softly "How about during the week you can come and dine with me and your father? You can bring your daughter."[/quote]

"I would be delighted to dine with the two of you." she said with a wide grin "Elizabeth would be happy to see her grand Papa again. It had been some time that she has seen him." she motions for the servants Would you like anything to drink madam?"

I came into the hall, paused in the doorway steps, I took a breath while I was scanning the room, and here I see Charles, I went directly to him,

"My dear old friend" I smiled and hugged him and bowed to the ladies "My Ladies",

"Charles how are you, it seems you are surrounded by women, how is it going?"

"Charles was listening silently Catherine and Victoria talking, when he saw his friend Anthony entering in the room. He stood up and patted softly his shoulder as he reach them"

Anthony...so long time! I'm happy to see you. Yes...I'm surrounded by women of my life. You already know my wife, lady Catherine. So...I would like to introduce to you my daughter, lady Victoria Brandon...

"He said motioning at Victoria with a smile"

A gentleman came to our table as her father introduced her "Pleasure to meet you Sir Anthony" she stood up as she smiled and did a little curtsy "I have heard much about you. A friend has told me." she smiles

Nan looked at her old friend Anne and smiled wide. She hugged her back tight with a shining smile

Oh god Anne! I missed you so much!

She said with joy but couldnt talk more because they were will with queen White. She smiled at queen and bowed slightly

If you excuse me your majesty...

She said and walked away from her with Anne. She saw Anthony Knivert coming into hall and looked there

My lord Knivert! How nice to see you again!

She said with a chuckle and kept walking with Anne towards another table.

Mionetta entered the room, quietly, nervously looking about at what would be her first party at the English court. She knew she wished to make friends, but she never had been to such parties in Italy, and even if able, she knew her mother never thought them appropriate. She walked about the lovely room for a moment, looking around at the nobles and courtiers in attendance and wondering who was the hostess.

She was a little late to the banquet, having misplaced a pearl earring and one of her satin shoes. Finally, dressed in a gown of deep pink, her hair in curls, she made it to the great hall and her spirits livened at seeing so many people, familiar faces and new ones as well. She saw Mionetta, and waved to her, motioning that they would talk soon, and soon after she spotted Anthony. She caught his eye and smiled, making her way towards him, feeling a million butterflies in her stomach.

When Charles introduced me to his wife and daughter I felt really proud,

"It is nice to meet you my Lady" I said to Lady Catherine bowing my head and kissed her hand, then I turned to Charles daughter which looked really beautiful, bowed to her too and kissed her hand.

"Pleasure is all mine my Lady, and I have heard a lot about you from your father, he loves you dearly"

After I talked to Lady Victoria I turned around and saw my beautiful wife and said:

"Ahh here is my beautiful, lovely wife Charlotte Rosenauer" I smiled

"Darling this is my best loyal friend, who saved my life so many times Charles Brandon Duke of Suffolk, and his wife and daughter Lady Catherine and Lady Victoria"

Victoria smiled at Charlotte "Lady Charlotte, it's nice to see you again" she said as she gave her a little greeting hug. She then smiled at Anthony. "Does he? That sounds interesting. I'm sure he doesn't talk about me too much that he is gloating."

"Charles laughed, looking at Victoria"

Oh I did...I like talking about my jewels...Oh, lady Charlotte, nice to meet you...

"He turned towards Anthony's wife and bowed at her"
