Queen Joanna's bedchamber

My sister had already written to me of this whore that the king seemed to prioritize, but I hadn't thought such a fleeting desire would grow and cultivate.


Que horrible. Sólo un lobo de un hombre como este rey tal, puede hacer algo así a una mujer maravillosa como Catalina . ¿Qué sabe usted acerca de esta puta de su ?

Inigo looked at the Queen before replying

Anna Bolena es una familia muy ambiciosa, Majestad. su padre y su tío le llevaron a convertirse en reina..

I smoothed out my skirts.


"Por supuesto , es siempre los hombres que dictan el futuro de las mujeres" I murmured thinking of my father, my husband, and my own son, who all helped put me here.


"Y supongo que la dama lleva a cabo sus deseos para cada grado , incluso a destrozar un reino ..."

Inigo nodded after her words. It seems that Queen Joanna knew very well that kind of women

Supones bien, Majestad. El Rey se da cuenta de cada uno de sus deseos. Lo siento mucho por su hermana Catalina. Una mujer santa que no merece todo esto..

He replied feeling sorry for Queen Katherine. He wondered if something could be made, even there in Spain. A great nation ruled once by two great monarchs: King Fernando and Queen Isabella. He met them when he was younger. And now he could see Isabella's strenght into Joanna's eyes

I had bitten the inside of my lip so hard that I could taste blood. However, I put on a face of indifference to this woman whose intent was to destroy my sister's reign and her life.


"Dime cierto , ¿cree que el rey se cansará de esta mujer ? O tiene ella que algunos sostienen hechizo sobre él ?"

Inigo glanced fastly around, before replying

Majestad, muchos piensan que esta mujer es una bruja. Dicen que han utilizado la brujería seducirlo..

He added lowering his voice. He wasn't sure if the Queen heard about these rumors about Anne Boleyn being a witch

This piece of news definitely piqued my interest. I wondered if I was the first to hear of it in this country.


"Una bruja , dice? Muy interesante. ¿Qué prueba hay de que ella posee tales poderes del mal ?"

Inigo noticed that the Queen was very interested in such matter. He cleared his voice, trying to reply as much rightly as possible

Majestad, Dama Anna tiene muchas damas de compañía. Algunos de ellos dijeron que veían extrañas manchas en la piel. Otros dicen que ella tiene seis dedos en una mano..

He explained, looking carefully at her expression. These were delicate matters. He wondered if the Queen believed in witchcraft

A little smile came over my face.

"
Otra manera segura de comprobar para ver si ella es una bruja es preguntar a su decir la oración del Señor . Si la persona pertenece al diablo entonces no será capaz de decir la oración . Alguien ha pensado en eso?"

Inigo thought for a moment. Then he shook his head

No, Majestad. Nadie. El Rey no cree que estos rumores. Pero tal vez...una de sus damas se podría hacer esta prueba para nosotros..

He added hopefully, wondering if the Queen agreed with his idea

Joanna nodded at Mendoza's words.


Y ¿cómo una de sus damas de hacer eso?

Inigo smiled. Then he thought for a moment, in order to choose the words to explain his plain to Queen Joanna

Majestad, tal vez usted puede enviar una de sus damas de Inglaterra. Cos 'que puede espiar a Donna Anna. Pero tiene que ser una persona de confianza..

He explained, wondering if the Queen approved this

"
Tengo una señora muy digna de confianza. Su nombre es Joan Fitzgerald. Ella haría cualquier cosa por mí, y no dudo que sería alejarse de esa tarea."

I said, looking into the fireplace.

Inigo smiled and nodded, seeing that his idea was appreciated by the Queen

Bueno. Entonces podemos hablar con Donna Joan, Majestad. Sii está de acuerdo..

I nodded and put my fingers locking together in my lap. For once I felt the surge of power rising, as though I held a great court and was not locked away in shame.

"Estoy de acuerdo con la idea por completo. Será lo mejor y Joan será sin ser detectados."

Inigo smiled and nodded after the Queen

Muy bien, Majestad. ¿Hay algo más que pueda hacer por usted?

"Usted puede orar por mí, y si es posible, por favor enviar mis mejores deseos a mi hermana. Ella necesita mi consuelo en este momento."

I looked sadly into the fireplace where shadows danced.

Inigo nodded

Ciertamente, Majestad. Gracias por haber admitido a su presencia..

He bowed deeply and then he left the room with slow steps

"Embajadora, por favor, venga mi doncella Lady Joan. Hablaré con ella de lo que hablamos."

I called out after him.

A servant came to tell me that my company was requested by queen Joanna without hesitation I went to her. "Your majesty wished to see me is there anything you need."

I smiled and patted the seat next to me for her to rest herself while we spoke.

"My Lady Joan, you have been a most faithful servant to me. Once more I will ask you to serve me in a way that will be helpful both to myself and to England."

I seated myself my mind taking it the words she was speaking. "Of course! If I can help you in some way then I shall do it. What is it you require of me your majesty."

I could not believe what I was hearing! Was I really held in such high regards by the Spanish queen inside I felt truly honored. "If I fail to get close to this queen, then I shall simply befriend her nearest and dearest. No corner or stone will be left upturned." This was risky business for me if caught then I dare not think of the outcome. But I would do it... as I was more loyal to this queen more loyalty than I had ever given any person in my life.
