New Year Celebration

Henry VIII of England wrote:

Henry laughed again

Don't be so sure about victory, Anthony. You could remain...surprised. Rather...I trust you heard about Trial at Blackfriars. I want you to be there too to support me. Can I count on you?

He asked, then took a sip from his wine

I laughed, "is that a challenge?" I asked wanting to have some fun again.

"Indeed I have heard about the trial. You can always count on me to be at your side in full support majesty!" I said in reassurance.

"Yes, Henry you are my brother as well and I would be there for you though anything." He then mentions William "I too mourn Will, I wish he was here to share these times with us. But life is short and we must live each day as if it were our last" I say as with smile.

Lancelot stood there, and stared out into the crowd. He watched all of the people dance, and have the time of their lives. But, he was too sad to enjoy anything. He had suffered so much.....he was completely numb. He took a sip of his wine, and saw someone coming to him.

Mary Tudor had her eyes searching the crowd and she was most pleased with the court gaiety. She watched as a pretty little blonde-haired girl was coming over with her Mother. She looked close to her age. Mary watched her carefully. She liked to see children her age at court. Perhaps, they could be friends.

Wolsey watched the crowd in silence, everyone seemed to have a good time and all was taken well care of. Henry was talking and laughing with his friend Anthony and Katherine was cheered by her daughter. When his gaze roved through the crowd it captured Norfolk, smiling unpleasant at him and raising his glass. He was accompanied by Thomas Boleyn and both men seemed very satisfied. He stared back intensely and noticed that they turned off. He chuckled but then he saw the reason for their attitude, Henry was dancing defiantly with Anne, not caring about the people staring at them.

He rolled his eyes and suddenly he noticed a man he had never seen before. Even though Henry was the official host this evening, Hampton Court was Wolsey´s property so he made his way to the newly arrived guest..

´My Lord, welcome to Hampton Court... I am Cardinal Wolsey, Lord Chancellor. And you are...?'

Henry VIII of England wrote:

Henry nodded and patted his shoulder

Uhm...and what about ladies, Anthony? Since I made you Sir, I noticed you're very admired by them. Oh! You're not like Charles, but...

He said teasingly. Then he winked at him and laughed with joy

I smile and laugh. "Well after my ordeal with Alfonsina it made me a changed man. I feel ready to settle down. I lost her." I lower my head. "I will never gain the love that I had with her back, and now I must move on." I said with a sigh.

Norfolk nudged quickly Boleyn as he saw Henry approaching them.
... the king! He is on his way to you, my friend! whispered in his ear.

He smiled submissive at Henry and bowed.
Your Majesty, what a great evening!

Thomas bowed deeply in front of His Majesty approaching them.
'Then we shall meet very soon and play chest or even cards to relax you, my lord.'
Encouraged the king and smiled.
'The trial must end with success... At least, I do myself believe it will.'

You're a good boy, Anthony. Prepare your things. We'll leave to Blackfriars soon and I want to see you there...

He looked meaningfully at him and left him, reaching Thomas Boleyn on the other side of hall

I looked at him and bowed. "Yes sire right away." I said and left to prepare for the journey.

Lancelot had been stuck in his own thoughts, and then he heard someone speak to him. He jumped, and his goblet flre out of his hands. "I am so sorry, your grace. I am so very sorry. Yes I am new to court. I have just come back home from the America's," he said to Wosley. Guildford gathered up his mess, and bowed to the cardinal. "Your grace," he continued," I am sorry."

Grimhilda was not enjpying herself. She was strictly here for two reasons...those girls. She growled and, looked at the people dancing. "I will find you both,' she said to herself. Grimhilda took a sip of her wine, and felt someone bump into her. She looked down and, noticed a small maiden. She roughly grabbed her by the arm, and shouted,"WATCH WERE YOUR GOING YOU! YOU LITTLE WHORE!" Grimhilda raised her hand, and smacked the girl across the face.

As Olympe see that the princess look at her too, she dare to come a bit closer and introduce herself to her, imitating the way her mother use for introduce her to people, recalling that she must call her "your highness" because it's a princess.

Hello, your highness, I am called Olympe de Fontanay, how old are you ?

Mary Tudor looked at the little girl and smiled. She thought she was quite lovely.
She spoke sweetly, but regally, "I am 11 Lady Olympe. I just turned that age. I am almost full-grown. How old are you?" Mary watched the little girl carefully. She had good manners.

Wolsey smiled friendly and frowned a little as the man dropped his goblet. He nodded at a servant who quickly helped the man to clear up the mess and waited paitiently untill they were finished.

'America...' he spoke. 'And what was your mission there, my lord?'

Suddenly he heard someone shouting behind him and when he turned around, he saw a woman smacking a girl in the face - Olympe!
'Excuse me...' he nodded shortly at the man and in a few steps he was with the woman, grabbing her arm .

'My lady! What is this! Who do you think you are to hit a girl!' he spoke calmly but his eyes spit fire. A small gesture was enough and several guards approached them.

'Bring this lady away, immediately .. I will speak with her myself, later!' He bowed and took Olympe careful in his arms.
'Olympe... my child, how are you?' he whispered, caressing her curls.

'Well... My lord... I think you have made a good choice.'
Said calmly and nodded.
'At least she will not share our wide tension in relation to the trial... She will be very happy to come back later and hear good news.'

While Wolsey takes care of Olympe he notices Emilie rushing towards them and slap the woman´s face, then she approaches them and he gently hands over Olympe to her.

´Emilie.... I have seen this all happen, she will be punished, I assure you! Now first, let us have a look at Olympe´s face and comfort her, but not here, let´s go to the Adjacent Room with her, it´s quiet there. Let me carry her, Emilie, you are trembling yourself.´ he speaks softly but persuading, while he squeezes her arm softly.

He takes Olympe careful in his arms and carries her to the Adjacent Room, together with Emilie. On his way he orders a servant.

´Call a physician, a nurse... someone who can check on her! And this... woman.... tell the guards to bring her to her own room and let her stay there untill I call for her, no matter how long it takes for me to call her, you understand!´

@Olympe
Grimhilda looked at the child, and let her go. "Get away from mer," she said to her. Grimhilda watched as all stared at her. She looked at them, and hissed.

@Emilie
"Maybe if you would watch your child, and teach her how to be obident then this would have not happened. You whore," she snapped at her. The childs mother was lucky she was not in Romania or she would have been sorry. Before, the woman hits Grimhilda...she grabs her hand and, squeezes it tightly. And, leans in and whispers," Watch your back....or I'll get you."


@Wosley
Grimhilda stared at him with daggers. Her eyes were bloodshot red, and she was boiling hot. Her daughters had caused her to be this way. "You dear sir," she continued," I am Grimhilda Tepes, Queen of Romania. I am here for my children."

(OOC: Grimhilda had orignally not hit the child. It was a chambermaid.....)
