-Rosalina the now Queen of Hungary had returned to Visegrad palace upon her duties to her now given kingdom, glancing over she seen the Spanish ambassador and she bowed her head in respect to him "Welcome Ambassador, I trust the Emperor is doing well" Rosalina asked wondering how the emperer Charles was doing as of lately, Looking at him she smiled "Yes my lord, and I do thank you for your kindness towards me, I have worked hard making sure this palace is back to it's glory once more and it has finally been once more." Rosalina said to him commenting truthfully "and soon the little prince my infant son I have just birthed will be king and carry on the legacy his father and I fought hard to gain" Rosalina said to the Spanish Ambassador and smiled " Thank the lord, he is fruitful in our cause for peace, as I too am his holiness's and the Emperor's faithful and loyal subject but within these borders I will try my best as a queen to keep them strong throughout Hungary and the neighboring lands"-

The Spanish Ambassador looked around the palace in awe and smiled as he met with the Queen of Hungary. 'It is indeed very magnificent, you have done so well to restore this building and of course it lands and people to its former glory'. Eustace looked at the Queen, 'I am happy to report that the Emperor is in good spirits and sends his father his good wishes and I was lucky enough to meet with His Holiness and he has heard of your gaining the land of Hungary and encouraging the continuation of our religion in this part of Europe and of course he wishes you well in your venture,'

-Rosalina stood looking over at the Ambassador and soon faces him then nods "I will keep the emperor deep in my heart as I too am a mother loving and kind, Yes I accept as I will also keep Hungary in the Catholic spirits, under the holiness's church and I will remain faithful to the holy mother church as I have been since my birth and have taken my first breath" Rosalina said to him "I read the bible and scriptures often, they bring me comfort while my husband is away, it reminds me how lucky I am to have him at my side, I do love him dearly" Rosalina confessed to the ambassador honestly
"Since he had left my cousin Joanna I am afraid I may have many enemies but I hope the emperor will forgive me" Rosalina said to the ambassador once more "But I will try and be a good step mother to the emperor even though I am still young and I trust the Lady Mary in England is doing well also, how is England my lord" She asked him as she stood in front of him and soon her little infant son was brought to her and he glanced at the emperor looking around as he is just a few months old now-

The Spanish Ambassador looked around the beautiful gardens, 'The Emperor sends his best wishes for your newly gained lands and of course it was a concern for him when Your Majesties married but he holds no grudges and only wishes you good will and happiness, God willing there will be good friendships and alliances between yourselves and him,' He looked at the Princess, 'I was honoured enough to speak with His Holiness the Pope and he sends good will and wishes for a prosperous future for Your Majesty and her King.' A lady brought an infant who was crying for his mother in to the gardens. 'Arhh This must be your Youngest, how handsome and strong looks,' he said with a smile. 'The Princess Mary is very well although she misses her mother terribly as King Henry refuses to allow them to see one another presently. I always thought it was too soon for her to be betrothed to any one and I still feel that way as she is still very innocent at heart and she preys for her mothers health daily, it is sorrowful to see sometimes Your Majesty,' The Ambassador looks down thinking of the Princess.

-Rosalina di Calabria looked at the ambassador and nodded "Your right, a child needs their mother as mother is god in the eyes of her child, Queen Katherine of Aragon is a pious women and I loved her dearly as well, she is a good mother to her child as am I to my own children, I wish their was something I could do to help the Lady Mary through her troubles, separation from a mother is never easy as I too know what it is like to loose both my parents" Rosalina said honestly to the Spanish Ambassador "God rest my father's soul, they speak that it was my mother's third husband who murdered him" Rosalina said to him "And like Mary, I recognize no other but my own parents, Mary was right to say to the King's new lover what she had" Rosalina said to him honestly "Only a catholic truly will keep England off it's knees, I hope that my cousin the Queen is well, I miss her dearly, please send her my wishes for peace and good health, that I think of her often." Rosalina said to the Ambassador "she was always so kind to me, please give her this as a gift to her majesty the Queen" Rosalina said to him and given him one of her necklaces
"and please tell the Lady Mary I haven't forgotten her, if she needs me I am here for her in her time of need whenever she desires someone" Rosalina said to her "Give the lady Mary comfort in knowing even though she may not have her mother at her side because of what her father is doing to make it so that she does have a friend in you loyal and kind" Rosalina said to the Ambassador erging him on the matter "I trust she will need someone, a friend" Rosalina said to her "and I pray the King will see to reason that she needs her mother and it is a mistake to separate a child from those closest to her like her mother is" Rosalina said to her and she held her son "my son will never I pray have to endure what the Lady Mary has had to as of late, but I do pray things will get better for her" Rosalina smiled at the Ambassador as she was also concerned for her cousin's well being and that of the Lady Mary-

Eustace the Spanish Ambassador gazed at Rosalina as she spoke and could see she was of pure Aragon blood, her soul protective and pure. He took the necklace from Rosalina and looked at it and placed it in a handkerchief and placed it in his pocket. 'I will be sure to remember you to her Majesty and she will be honoured to receive this gift from you, I will be visiting her very soon as I hear she has not been well and her health is failing her but she is strong and has the qualities to bounce back from anything,' The two continued to walk as Rosalina held her infant in her arms through the beautiful gardens. 'There are many, it is said that fear for the lives of Queen Catherine and her daughter Princess Mary as they are more of a threat to the King's whore than they are to the King himself, but there are also hopeful signs that one day the King will see fit to restore Mary to the succession of England, which by God's blessing I hope will come true,' The Ambassador stopped for a moment and turned to Rosalina with deep thought, 'I will let Princess Mary know of your kind words as I feel I can do so much sometimes, there will come a time she may need a woman's shoulder to rest on and I hope you would accept her as I know you would in to your hearts during her innocent years,' Eustace smiled and nodded.

-Rosalina di Calabria walked the gardens with the Ambassador holding her youngest son and child in her arms and she glanced at him hearing the Ambassador confessing of the treachery against her family and she sent forth her maid servant and handed the infant to her as he slept soundly and had the child brought inside and lay to rest in his cradle "Spain worked hard to see to it this Boleyn never becomes Queen, they say this women would flip England upside down to gain what she desires" Rosalina said to him as she stood there "no matter, I will make haste and see to it I go with you to England, it is time I see my cousin and meet with this Boleyn who has insnared the King of England" Rosalina said to him
"That is if you will permit me to do so, I know his holiness and the Emperor would wish allies at the Queen's side in her time of need and it is time I have met with the Lady Mary as well" Rosalina said to him "I will help in any way I can" Rosalina said to him "I may be a queen but I am also a Borgia" Rosalina looked at him with such honesty to him-

The Spanish Ambassador listened to Rosalina and felt the haste within her stirring as he was reminded of her Borgia roots and he felt hesitant. 'I would wish only you be a friend and guardian to the Lady Mary, I would advise against any rash actions against the King and his whore but to be there for those who are left behind, I know the Emperor keeps his aids in close proximity to events at the Tudor Court so we can only sit and wait to see what will happen,' The Ambassador watched as she lay the infant to rest and her lady returned him to the palace, 'I would of course be honoured to escort you to England, I know your cousins would be delighted to have an ally such as your self and His Majesty, but there is talk of changes with his Majesty King Henry's marriage as she has failed to provide with a living son,' The Ambassador continued.

-Rosalina di Calabria stood silently listening to the Ambassador's advice and she nodded "Your right, and she will need one strong for a guardian and friend which is why I must appoint one such as yourself as a guardian closest to her reach, my place is in Hungary but she will always have my support, but this Boleyn whore like all the others he will tire of her like the others, it is a shame the King had fallen to such lustful acts with this Boleyn, but if I might ask, my son Louie he is in England as we speak, I am certain my son Louie would be a loyal friend to the Lady Mary, he may be a York and a Plantagenet but he too is a true catholic like the Lady Mary, seek him out and he will help in any way he can, tell him I urge him to do so as his cousin the princess is in need of a friend in the situation she is in" Rosalina said to the ambassador "I will come to England in due time, but your right I mustn't be so hasteful to rush to their side even if it pains me not to" Rosalina admitted while walking with him-

The Ambassador and The Queen of Hungary Rosalina Di Calibria continued to stroll in the magnificent gardens as they spoke, 'Your Majesty I would advise caution with your son a Plantagenet being in England, as King Henry has executed many threats to his throne, Louie may of course have Lady Mary's best interests in his heart but I would not want to see him in the tower, It would have to be a visit of the utmost secrecy but King Henry has spies every where, You are unable to speak a word without him knowing about it in his court, he is a very paranoid man and will defend his throne a t any cost,' Eustace knew the Queen could assist in helping The Lady Mary but would be concerned about causing an incident but would want The Boleyn whore removed at any cost and the Lady Mary returned to the succession. 'I am sure lady Mary would be delighted to see young Louie she needs true family of our faith around her at these times,'

-Rosalina di Calabria walked with the Ambassador to Spain and she glanced at him when she came to a fountain in the gardens and she listened to what he had to say "England was once my late husbands home as to that of his family, Edward would not wish this upon his children or England but they speak that the King is not rightfully the King, it was murder that given his father the crown, a usurper to the throne of the Plantagenet line" Rosalina spoke knowing well of that fact "as unkind Edward was to me I know he would hate what has become of England but yes I must be careful and it would be wise to have Louie brought to Hungary, here the King of England cannot get him for my son has already learned of poisoning like his Borgia relatives before him, if tempted he may poison the Boleyn to keep the faith of catholic ways" Rosalina said to him "My son is a ruthless boy, but he is clever and he doesn't give up easily" Rosalina said to the ambassador
"Perhaps it is time this Boleyn took a sudden unexpected fall" Rosalina said to him "but yes we must stay loyal to England but Louie must return to Hungary immediately"-

Eustace Chapuys the Spanish Ambassador listened to Queen Rosalina speak of her first Plantagenet husband the former Edward V. 'Much has changed since my Grandfathers day with England especially, the cousins were always at each others throats and trying to usurp each other for many years, because of that jealousy among them and fighting it weakened them and left it open for false prophets and heretics to try to gain the throne and eventually it happened,' The Ambassador explained, 'But yes Your Majesty you must get Louie your son away from England as I would fear the worse for him if he were discovered by The King, There are agents for the Emperor who would assist in his escape from England and return him safe in to your arms once more, you are all safe here away from the heretics of England's throne,' Eustace had much sympathy for Rosalina's family as they were of not only Plantagenet blood but Borgia and he knew they would be kept safe from harm.

-Rosalina di Calabria, Queen of Hungary who was the princess of the Romagna, Naples, and duchess Calabria and Burgundy as well was a very powerful young women concidering her age and how young she was, touching the fountain she glanced at the Ambassador with those blue eyes, she loved her children dearly but she knew well she must keep them safe for if Louie was ever to become king he would need to be alive and safe, she knew Louie would have many enemies among the Tudor court and she nodded "The Emperor has friends among the King's court, but I know well he is no friend to those who would harm his family, My son must be returned to Hungary, I will send a trusted assassin to accompany my son upon his returning to Hungary, I want no hair harmed on his head by the King of England" Rosalina said to the Emperor "if a catholic is ever to be king they need to be safe from those who would harm him" Rosalina said to the emperor,
"I love my children, all of them but Louie is strong but if he is caught by the King he will loose his life for his bloodline, I hope the Holy Roman Emperor Charles will keep Louie safe from those who would harm him, the emperor has vast armies and even governs Hungary as well, I am fortunate that I am Queen of Hungary now, That the Arpad lands have been handed to me so easily" Rosalina said to him "if I must I will request a Borgia's aid" Rosalina said to him and she stood there "My brother Ercole II d'Este may help if he is requested of" Rosalina said to him "My son is his nephew after all" Rosalina said truthfully to him "Please if you may, send the pope my regards on this desperate matter" Rosalina said to him and she stays with him while walking through the gardens-

The Ambassador Eustace Chapuys listened to the Queen of Hungary and her concerns for the future and worries for her son Louie who was currently holed up in England needing to leave the country to return to his family's embrace and protection. 'I agree with you Your Majesty that you should send someone to assist Louie your son to leave the country of England safely, it would be wise to do that so he can return to you safely and without harm, and I am sure you have many allies to help you in this cause,' Eustace turned and looked upon Rosalina kindly, 'I am sure he will return safely, but it is true for England to return to the true religion it would not be easy but I would say The Lady Mary is the one who could achieve that as she is loved so much by the people as her mother before her, especially in the north of England where the true religion is still practiced daily,' Eustace continued to walk in the beautiful gardens with Rosalina as they began to ponder on Lady Mary's empending visit to the country of Hungary for her safety.
