"Charles smiled tenderly at her"

I miss them. You should bring them more often to visit their old grandfather..

"He chuckled. Then he looked attentively at her"

Are you sure you're fine, sweetheart? You know that you can tell me everything. Please, let me doing something for you..

"He added worriedly, feeling that there was something who saddened her"

"I haven't seen Elizabeth and Mary since they went into the care of their Governess." Victoria remembers the day like it was the day before when her daughters were taken away as soon the days got colder. "If only there is something you could do Papa, there is nothing. There is nothing I can do either." She says as she takes an unusual sip and looks back at him.

"Charles took a deep breath after she talked"

So...Elizabeth and Mary are not with you. I was not aware about that..

"He thought for a moment, in silence. Then he took tenderly her hand and smiled"

You'll have your daughters back, Victoria. As you know, noblewomen have governants to take care about their children. But...if you miss them, it's your right having them back. Furthermore, I thnk they're grown enough to leave their governess and stay with their mother. I'll dismiss the governess..

"He promised finally hoping to make her feel better"

"It's alright. I trust the Governess" Victoria says as she lightly puts her hand on his shoulder "Thomas somehow knew about how I slowly change when the days get colder." She then takes a breath "He instructed her to take the girls until I'm well.

"Charles looked thoughtful again"

So...you don't feel well. That's why the girls are not with you. Hope it's just because of weather, darling. In this case, I can ask to my physician to give you something to make you feel better. That's easy getting a cold in winter..

"He added jokingly, hoping that her illness was just about the cold"

"PaPa!! I do not have any form of sickness and I don't need a physician." Victoria says with a smile and a giggle. "Thomas says it must be some of lunacy, others says that a Witch or a form of black magic did this to me."

"Charles opened his eyes wide"

A form of...black magic, you say? Oh Goddeness! I...I don't know what to say, Victoria. Actually, I don't even believe in such things. So...I don't know how could I help you. I'm not a magician...

"He chuckled nervously, almost shocked by his daughter's words. He took a long sip from wine"

Anyway...just tell me, darling. Why Thomas thinks such thing? Who could possibly use magic against you?

I'm really saying such words? Yes...I'm saying them..

"He was thinking in his mind"

"Somehow he knows that people in my condition go to asylums." Victoria says with a concerned tone "I wish I knew."

"Charles looked astonished at her"

Well...as I told you, I know not so much about that. But I have read somewhere...that in such cases a blessing could be a good thing. We could...try to see a priest..

"He suggested, hoping to help her with right advices in such particular situation"

Victoria thought awhile about the recommendation of seeing someone that works with religion. "A priest would do. But, there could be a chance the holy cure will not work." She somehow fears that Thomas will give up by having her locked up somewhere or worse.

"Charles noticed her perplexity. So he smiled tenderly"

I'm not talking about...locking you in a nunnery, of course. But I heard that there are priests, who use Holy Scriptures against such things. I guess...he would say a prayer putting his hands upon your head...that's all..It works, if you have faith...

"He tried to explain, not wanting to scare her or something"

"I know what you said, PaPa." Victoria says with smile "There may be a chance it may or may not work. Despite the small amount of friends and allies she has, there may be a chance it could work.

Jane Seymour wrote:

Jane wore a crimson-red gown over her French farthingale and chemise. The neckline was trimmed with Italian lace. The dresses' sleeves were long, lined with fur and warm against her skin. Her blonde locks were brushed straightly; and a hood was placed on her head adorned with pearls. The tables - all full of meat pies and puddings and fruit cake and a turkey stuffed with goose inside.

Geoffrey noticed lady Jane entering the Hall. He knew her by her name, because Seymour's were an important family. He was sent in the past to bring messages at Wolfhall to his father sir John Seymour, King's old friend. He approached her slowly to see if she needed something

Lady Jane...welcome. May I help you? Do you wish some red wine, perhaps?

He asked kindly after bowing

Jane Parker wrote:

My father told me that I would spend Christmas feast here. True to his word I was in the midst of merriment and drunk courtiers. My father sent me a letter bidding me of how important my attendance was. At least; when I was married my father wouldn't have to keep pawning my mother's pearls. The courtiers dance before the king as if he would notice them; and give them his unending favor.

Margaret noticed Jane Parker entering. She was George Boleyn's wife, and she was very close to George in the past. But she was alone. So she decided to welcome her at the part. Placing an hand upon her big belly, she came closer with a smile "Lady Jane, I am glad to see you here. Margaret Wyatt..maybe you already noticed me at court.." She said to introduce herself to Anne Boleyn's sister in law

Mary Boleyn wrote:

Mary decided to join the party at the last minute just to enjoy the scene and perhaps the sake of her happiness. She then includes herself amongst the dancing courtiers until her shoes fall apart.

Agostino saw Mary Boleyn who was preparing herself to join dancers. She was Muriel's cousin, but he never had the opportunity talking with her. So he came closer with low steps and bowed

Lady Mary...forgive me. Hope I'm not disturbing you. But I think it's time I intriduce myself to you. My name is Agostino De Agostinis, and I'm going to marry your cousin, lady Muriel Howard. With King's approval, of course. I'm honoured to meet you..

He said with evident emotion in his voice. He cared about the opinion that Muriel's family had about him

Margery Seymour wrote:

Walking into the great hall, I saw every face I knew and heard of and was surprised by amount of foreign people. That had come to witness the upcoming coronation. Where was Anne though. I moved to a more spacious part. My shoes making noise against the hard wooden floors. Above my head was a circle full of candles draped with a festive garland. Mistletoe was hung sparingly around the hall, and to some entries to other rooms. Softly in the background Greensleeves, a song composed for Anne begun to play. A love song written for Anne by Henry for his future queen.

William came back to court after very long time of absence. After his fight with Boleyn's servant, he was seriously injured. He was forced leaving court and retire in his village for some months, until he was completely recovered. Many people thought he was dead. And maybe even his Master, lord Brandon, thought that he lose forever his servant. Although, his arm was not utterly healed. He had still pain because of his enemy's sword. He heard that at Palace there was a Party to celebrate Christmas. So he thought it could be a good opportunity for him to come back. Entering the Hall, he looked around, like it was an unknown place for him. Suddenly he hit someone. He turned immediately his head, noticing that his obstacle was a young, elegant lady. He lowered his eyes

Oh..I'm so sorry, my lady. I beg you to fogive me..I...I'm still trying to remember how this Palace is..

He mumbled with embarrassment, especially because of her beauty

Christmas, it was a beautiful time and Agnes loved the warmth feeling that it surely gave everyone. Walking into the hall, she glanced around and was amazed by the beauty of Whitehall, a small smile came to her lips. She was wearing a deep brown, almost red dress with a French hood and her dark hair tied back from her face. Lifting a goblet of wine, he eyes followed the crowds as they danced.

" Katherine Elizabeth Tudor,Duchess of Richmond." The servant announced as she walked into the room looking around the room and crusty low to everyone she met.

Hearing a young woman being announced into the court, and she had the last name as the King, Agnes curtsied to her "Your Grace." she said and she smiled at her "I take it you are from court, my lady?"

As Mary turns around to see who the voice belongs to, she jumps a little in surprise "My Lord." she says with a smile as does a small dip curtsy "I never knew the name of Lady Muriel's fiancée

"I am." She said to the lady in front of her.

I was enjoying my time at the party and i decide to speak to the young ladies Katherine Tudor and Agnes Blewitt.
"Hello my ladies i trust you are both well? I ask offering them some wine

Smiling at Katherine she heard a male voice and turned around and curtsied "My Lord Norfolk." she said to him "I believe I am doing quite well, and yourself?"

"I am well." She said him turning away.
