Easter Party

Hall is beautiful. I can't wait until the Easter party begins.

Margaret joined the Hall with Anthony. She was very excited. Holding her husband's arm, she looked around to see some familiar face

Catherine crept in on the springtime celebrations. Glad to be away from the terrifying clutches of that Howard family and his ghastly daughters. Who reminded young Catherine of things she had heard of spoken from ladies in waiting. From what Catherine gathered people at court favored the Boleyn side of the family more which suited her just fine. Standing on the tips of her toes Catherine searched to find her mother somewhere amidst the crowd of celebrators.

Mary arrives wearing her old Easter dress that she wore when the Boleyn daughters were once ladies in waiting. The dress was a little tight but, it still fits her. She saw a small group of Anne's ladies and decides to join them.

*I enter the Great Hall gingerly so not let others notice that I am coming into the room. Looking around the room is beautiful. I hope that I can see King Henry. I would like to see Marjery because she was so kind to me. To talk to me and help me thru. I know that she will be with her husband but I hope that I can let her see that I came if only for a while. Maybe I shall dance if I am asked. But I will try to enjoy myself.

*I see Margeary coming towards me. I look at her so happy to see her for it was her that suggested that I attend.* I am a little nervous about being here with all of these people around. I feel exposed here Margeary. I am not sure hold long I will be here. I should rest. The physician said that I should rest after passing out in front of Charles's bedchamber. So I will enjoy the festivities and if I feel faint I shall go to my chambers. *smiling at her*

I am glad that you are here with me. I need a friendly face to talk to. I am worried I don't want to see Charles's wife whether he is here or not. I love seeing the people chat and dance. The dresses are beautiful and the food smells and look delicious so let's get something to eat. * I walk over to get something to eat. I am hungry. *

I shall always be by your side when you need me, But tonight we shall eat and be merry and maybe dance a little. I had hoped that talking to Anna into coming would show her that life at court would be fun, I walk over to the table and take a seat next to Anna.

Juana of Naples entered the room announced, she was of the house of Trastamara like the late queen as they were both cousins, it was Easter a moment to celebrate such a great holiday and more importantly that of the Lord and his son, Juana was very pious as well, wearing her Spanish attire, her hair covered by that of a Spanish cloth as it was pulled back and her dress was a red one lined with black and gold as well while some curls caressed her fair skinned face. It was rumored she was the most celebrated beauty of Naples, entering the room she saw the King and bows her head respectfully to him, seeing the Boleyn enjoying themselves among the crowd Juana thought of her cousin the late Queen who's health wasn't so well.

Soon she went for some wine and took a drink of some as she stood there.

*looking around the room I see the people looking happy and beautiful. I was a little nervous but my friend Marjaery was there with me. Helping me not to focus on the ones around me.* So how are you doing dear. I am glad that you are here with me. I don't that I would be able to do this without you being here. Thank you for being kind to me.

I am well, Thank you for asking but my tone in my voice turns to sadness I have not heard from Francis in a while and now I think I may have rushed things with him I look down to the floor and then I look back at Anna.
I am not sure if he feel in love with me or wanted something else from me.

I am so sorry that you are going through something like this. Maybe he is not able to come as of yet and I believe that he must care for you. And for your sake I hope that you have found someone who will love you for that is a real treasure.

I take Anna's hand. Thank you so much dear friend, I am going away for a few days I have been invited to go to Navarre to meet with the king, But I will write to you.
I take the last sip from the goblet and look at Anna.

Please stay Anna, I hope when I return you shall still be here and maybe we could go horse riding if it pleases you to do so.

That will be nice. I hope that you will have a safe trip and when you come back I will have so much fun to ride a horse with you. You are a wonderful friend to me and I thank you so much. *I reached over and give her a close hug*

Thank you for your kindness. You have been a true friend and I am glad of it. You have extended your hand to me and I am grateful. Have a safe trip.
