"I have yet to met them."

She said to him.

Niklaus nodded again "Family is an important thing. So keep them close. You're still young, my lady. And I'm sure you need some adult's advice.."

She giggles to what he said.

"My lord I can take care of my self."


She said with a smile on her face.

Niklaus turned his eyes to her immediately "Oh..I have no doubts about that, my lady. But you see..I'm very protective with people I love. I just imagine that your father is protective too.." He replied

"My lord I am sure he is."


She said with a smile on her face.

Niklaus nodded while walking "I think every father is. And tell me, my lady..has His Majesty already arranged a marriage for you?" He asked, knowing that Henry liked having everything under his control. Even his children

"No my lord."


She said walking with him.

Niklaus took a deep breath "Hope he'll make the right choice for you, then. Happiness in marriage is a very rare thing. But I have to say that I have been lucky. I'm deeply in love with my wife and I'll become father soon.." He said smiling thinking about Elizabeth

"My lord what are you talking about I never said I was with someone."


She said walking with him.

Niklaus stopped walking and looked at her. He rolled his eyes and took a breath "Sorry, my lady. I'm talking about something I don't know. Now..forgive me but..I need to go back into Palace. I don't want leaving my wife alone for too long. Maybe I'll join the Party..Hope to see you soon. My Lady.." He bowed at her and walked towards Palace again

Katherine Elizabeth Tudor Stood there for a moment before walking over to the roses and smelling them. She started to think about the first kingdom she will go see. Maybe Germany or France or even Scotland.

Jane was dressed in black due to her father's death. She missed him so much. She ran her hand long the roses. She was thinking of leaving court but was not sure if she had a place to go. The sunlight hit her red hair just right.

Benjamin was on his way back to the castle when he took a short cut through the gardens and saw a woman dressed all in black. This intrigued him, as he approached her he noticed the woman was his friend Jane. "Jane are you alright?" he asked when he saw her saddened face.

"I am thinking of leaving court. Since all my family is dead. I have no home anymore."

She said to her friend.

Benjamin had been away and didn't know this "Leave court? but where would you go?" He was concerned for her she didn't look or sound well. Perhaps there was a way to help her.

"Maybe back to Ireland."She said softly.

"Ireland, what's in Ireland?" he asked feeling uneasy about that decision.

"You know I was born there and came from there." She said as tears rolled down her face thinking about her father.

"Yes but like you said you have no family there anymore, there's nothing there that can give you peace and solace." He said and took his kerchief out of his pocket and wiped the tears from her eyes.

"I only have you and Lord Brandon here in court.She said still in tears.

Even though it may have been inappropriate, Benjamin embraced her and held for a few moments. "Jane, I hate to see you like this and I refuse to let you go back to Ireland. stay here with me." He said hoping he could get her to meet Viola and the two of them could become friends.

"I am not like others in court. I am not noble like many others in court. I don't belong here."She said softly.

"Well I am and once the other courtiers see you with me they will accept you." He said even though he had been in France for the last six months.

"I can't. They will find out my past who my family is."She said looking at him.
