Christmas Party

I speak to lady Agnes i am quite well thank you my lady and i do say you look stunning tonight my lady.
Would you like some wine

Smiling at him she nodded her head "You are far too kind, my lord." she said to him and she took a deep breath "Of course, more wine would be lovely. May I ask, how is your wife? Lady Stafford?"

Would you care to try some of my wine from my estate my lady? The king bought some himself.

I hear her speak of my wife.
"Lady Elizabeth is quite well thank you and what about your family

Katherine would you like to try some of my wine? I ask Katherine Tudor

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

I noticed the man that called my name but couldn't remember whom he was. No, thank you. I am content enough as I am. I sense it, that a great change had taken place, something that only a few people knew. Forgive my rudeness but we have met before.

Smiling at him she nodded her head "I believe my family are quite well, your grace." she said and she took another sip from her goblet "Of course, I am always intrigued to try new wine, my lord."

Great hope you like it my dear. You are very pretty my lady

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

Janes' smile was gentle but made her eyes shine of joy when she looked at Margaret. Jane had been, quite honestly, quite the lonely picture for a good portion of the evening.

Lady Margaret sister to poet Thomas Wyatt is it good to see you.

she replied as pleasant and charming as she had been all evening, but with a genuine warmth and affection, it was simply good not to be utterly alone anymore.

"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.

"Charles took a deep breath"

I know what you mean, Victoria. But I think we should try. Otherwise, we'll never know if it really works. Two drops of Holy water never harmed anyone. Don't worry, I'll take care of this matter and I'll be at your side. You'll feel immediately better, you'll see..

"He smiled to reassure her"

"Oh alright." Victoria says with a sigh. "We will try."

"Charles nodded"

Good, I'm happy you agree. Just let me time to contact someone I trust, darling. Don't worry...

"He smiled again, hoping that Thomas would support her too"

Niklaus decided to join the Christmas Party. He was not keen in it, at first. But then he thought that it could be a good opportunity for him to be involved in court life, and for his daughter Esther to have fun and to be officially introduced to the King. He also hoped that Elizabeth would join. She leaded a very isolated life, recently. Smiling at people around him, he reached his table and started looking curiously around

Dorothy enters the hall late hoping she hasn't miss a thing. While she starts looking around looking for any of her sisters, Dorothy notices a gentleman sitting alone. So she decides to give him some company and walks over. "Is anybody sitting here beside you?"

Geoffrey smiled, a bit embarassed

No..I don't think we met before, my lady. But I came at your home at Wholfhall to bring some King's messages for your father. But I never met you, or your sisters..

He replied

Margaret smiled her back "Yes..Thomas Wyatt is my brother. I am glad that you know his poems. He would be proud to hear it.." A passing servant offered them two goblets of wine "I am happpy to finally meet George Boleyn's wife. Your sister in law is going to be Queen. Maybe..she will be Queen when I'm going to give birth.." She said caressing softly her big belly

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

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

Agostino smiled kindly towards her

We're going to get married soon, my lady. She talked me a lot about you and your sister. I know...that I have no title. I'm just a physician. But I love deeply your cousin Muriel. She is the reason of my life. And the King gave us his blessing..

He explained with quite voice

Niklaus was sipping his wine, lost in his thoughts. As he heard a female voice addressing him, he turned his head "Dorothy! No..no one is sitting here. Would you join me, dear sister in law? How are you?" He asked, happy to see some familiar faces around "I trust you're well. Have you news about Elizabeth?"

"Yes. I am well" Dorothy smiles as she lightly plops on the chair next to her brother in law "No I have not. I wonder if she felt homesick and went to Wolf hall? She says as she thinks of more possible places her sister could be.

Katherine Elizabeth Tudor set down in the corner trying to keep to herself the best she could and feeling a bit out of place there.

"That is wonderful." Mary says with a smile "The Howard's would be glad to have someone working with medicine."

Agostino laughed a bit her her words

Oh..I really hope they won't, my lady. For what I know, Howard's family is in good health. Anyway, I'm glad you have nothing against my marriage with Muriel. This is important to me..

Niklaus looked around, letting out a deep sigh "Esther misses her very much. And so do I. I have intention to go to Wholfall in these next days.." He poured her some wine "In the meanwhile...Esther could spent time with her aunt. I'm sure she will show you her paintings.." He smiled "And what about your husband, Dorothy? Is Clement here with you?"

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

I shift uncomfortably from foot to foot. When I am nearly knocked over. I frown in annoyance, looking at the apparent new courtier.

[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

His hair is a dark shade of brown, which curls down to his eyebrows. He is in his older years, the laughter of other courtiers breaks my daydream, I go stand next to him. I look into his deep, hazel eyes. I could not help but feel flutters in my chest, a true gentleman of old stories,perhaps. All is well, my lord. I am Margery Seymour lady in waiting at the palace. You are?

William stared at her eyes for a moment before replying. She looked young, much more than him. And very beautiful

Margery..

He repeated. And after a second of silence, he showed her his relaxed smile and bowed

Ehm..I'm honoured to meet you, lady Seymour. I heard about your family. My name is William Pennington. I'm Lord Brandon's servant and his personal secretary. At least...I once was. This is my return to court after...long time. But..that's a very long story. I don't mean bothering you with that. Rather..just hope I didn't harm you..

His gaze never left her eyes and her elegant figure. While saying his last sentence he touched her elbow for just a moment in concern. But he removed immediately his hand fearing of being untimely at her eyes

She quickly stood up to leave the party.

Juana looked at the King of England who kindly welcomed her and congradulated her on her own marriage, smiling at him she nodded "Yes, he is the Duke of Northumberland's brother, Gerome Dudley your majesty" she explains to him "he is a kind man, worthy indeed of my hand but his family thought he for the church life instead, They were proved quite wrong, he now is not only a good husband to me, but we have bare many children, our own first born is a son" she say toward the King "Our son is Ferdinand, we have together 5 sons and 3 daughters" when the King ask if her husband is with her she nodded "Yes, he has come with me, I do believe he went for some fresh air." she say and turned toward the door "I am certain that his highness my husband will return to my side soon, which he will be most pleased to honor your majesty with his company as well." she stated to him,

Juana then smiled delightfully when her husband returned then to her side [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] "My darling, I was just speaking with the king, about how good and dutiful a husband you are, he seems most pleased." she smiled kissing her husband gently, of course at the same time acting most approppriate in the presence of the King.
