Tomb of Daniel Brandon

"Charles decided to spend a day far from court. Margaret's sickness made him remind people he lost, like his friend William Compton. And, above all, his son Daniel. He felt suddenly the strong need to visit his tomb, and he arrived at Hartfield House because of that. Nan was not there, cause she was living at court actually. Then he walked slowly towards tomb and put a flower on it"

Hello, my beloved son...

"He whispered. Then he crossed and started to pray silently"

I slowly walk up behind my father place my hand on his shoulder as I and my father pay respect to Daniel our light light that left this kingdom to soon

"Charles was praying deeply for his son. He was lost in his thoughts. Suddenly he felt an hand upon his shoulder. As he turned his head, he saw his daughter Frances. He smiled, surprised"

Frances...my dear. I wasn't expecting to see you here...

"He said with low voice"

Something deep inside me I need to be with my father during this tough time

"Charles smiled tenderly"

Thank you for being here, my daughter. I missed you. How are you?

"He asked with low voice"

Very well ( something weighs on your mind ) as you look your father in the Face

"Charles frowned a bit"

What's wrong, my dear?

"He asked concerned"

I believe I missed my bleeding. *covers her face with her hand and cries and says in a muffled voice* I'm so sorry father

"Charles opened his mouth in surprise"

Are you trying to say...that you're with child, Frances?

"He asked astonished. He didn't even know that his daughter had a suitor or a lover"

Yes father

"He sighed but smiled tenderly, shooking his head"

I'm not angry at you, my beloved. I...I'm just surprised. I mean...I didn't even know that you had a suitor. So tell me...who is the father?

"He asked taking softly her hand in his"

His majesty the king

"Charles opened his eyes wide"

W...what? Are...are you sure?

"He mumbled frowning, being utterly astonished to hear that"

Yes father I am sure it was on the day you bought me to court

"Charles was perplexed. He still couldn't believe that"

I...I had no idea that you...were in love with the King, Frances. But...this could be dangerous, my darling. Anne Boleyn hates all King's mistresses. Does he know about your pregnancy?

"He asked, frowing and with concerned voice"

Not as of yet

"Charles sighed deeply"

I see...But don't worry, Frances. You can always count on my help. As you know, I'm grandfather already. And I'll be at your side with your baby...

"He added tenderly, smiling at her"

Thank you father.What about the king shall we tell him father or just keep it a secret

"Charles raised his eyebrow while sighing deeply"

I...I don't know, my daughter. But I think he should know. Maybe...not now. But once we'll be back from France. And I'll choose a good husband for you, who will take care of you and your baby...

"He added, hoping to reassure her"

Thank you father kinda like what lord Boleyn did for his daughter

"Charles raised an eybrow while sighing"

Well...not exactly, my dear. You know...I'm not that ambitous like him. Of course I wish the best for you. That's why I'll look for a good husband...who will take care about you and the upcoming baby...

"He said, still not realizing that he was going to become grandfather again"
