Entrace

It had been a long time, a very long time since I had come back home. I was very nervous it didn't feel like my home town, the place off my birth. I sent my lady in waiting Beth ahead to let my mother know that I had arrived. The sun was most welcoming which I was most glad of. They had sun in Bavaria not as warm as this and it would do my bones some good.

I was very much my mothers daughter I had the same blonde looks and blue eyes. I always strived to be like her in every way that I could. She was kind and gentle and I revelled in her presence.

Anne rushed to courtyard with her ladies to greet  her daughter. She hadn't seen Maria for years and missed her dearly. Maria! Welcome home! She exclaimed when she reached her daughter.  My sweet darling daughter, how i've missed you! Anne hugged Maria tightly and softly kissed her cheek before she pulled back to look at her. You've grown in very beautiful lady.

My angelic mother floated out into the courtyard. Everything I had ever been taught I forgot as I ran into her arms like a 4 year old child. I held onto her tightly crying tears of happiness. It had never really occurred to me just how much I missed her. "And you are my beautiful mother whom I've missed greatly. I am glad to be home and here with you for some respite. Things have not gone well with my suitor I hope father shall not be crestfallen." I looked down crestfallen for the two years I had been at Bavaria I had yet to catch his attention.

Anne frowned slightly, then smiled to her daughter, raising her chin so Maria would look at her. ''What has happened with your suitor while you were in Bavaria?'' She asked, worrying about her daughter and experience she'd there. As a mother she was always against of sending her children in young age to other courts all alone, but as Queen she knows that was something expected for her to do. ''You're your fathers angel. He'd never be disappointed or mad at you, no matter what happen. '' She said in soft voice, trying to reassure her.
