Great Hall

I go into the great hall the morning after my lady's miscarriage. I will visit her after breakfast.

I open the door to see Lady Francis good day Lady Francis how is her highness looking at her worriedly

I stand and curtsey,"Lady Mary."

I then sit back down to my breakfast again,"Her Highness is well as can be expected. I plan to visit her after my meal."

Smiles i do hope she is well, am sorry if I have come over rude towards you it has been a little mad here for the past few weeks, sometimes I wish i could go back to Whitehall

I smile and sip on my tea,"Yes, this country life as a lady is unusual for me too."

"Do you not wish to stay and supervise your children?"I ask.

i would love to but my family needs are more important at the moment and they will not let me I say sadly

I nod,"Perhaps one day you will achieve this desire."

I would like that I just wish Anne would invite Catherine to court she is her niece. I hope time will come when she realise she no threat to her but who knows but at the moment am happy to be here with her and William at least I can watch her grow I say looking at her warmly

"I am glad,"I say and dab the corners of my rose lips with a handkerchief,"I had better get about my business. Do you need anything?"

no thank you, good day Lady Francis I sit there in silence and decides to go and visit the chapel to prepare for the service

As we walk in to the grand hall knowing we are alone do you want a drink? I say smiling to her

Yes please. I would love to get right royally drunk but I shouldnt. I sit down at the table with Mary. I sigh deeply, unsure of what to think....

As I pour two glasses I sit next to her yes I wish I could get drunk but I got to make sure this baby comes to no harm

I will not get drunk as it will not mask the anger and pain I feel. I take a sip. Oh what I wanted to tell you was that after much legal wrangling, I am giving you have of my 100,000 yearly income to help with your children. Its the least I can do for you being so kind to me.

Goes white i do not know what to say, but thank you, thank you gets up and hugs her

You are most welcome. Believe it or not, my father the King of Italy, insisted upon it. I hug her in return...

Smiles i can not ever thank you enough wait till I tell William, I would wish more then anything to be his child some times I wish I had never met him he promised me he changed Cesare but I do not think he has nor will he am sorry for the pain he has caused you

I sigh, He is in the past. I need to look forward to the future and whatever the future may bring.

I can only smile, Marry him now then mary so your child isnt deemed illegitimate
