Coronation feast of Anne Boleyn

William saw his Master, Lord Brandon, coming towards him. So he stood up from his chair and started walking towards him. When suddenly, Thomas Boleyn kept walking in the same direction and he had to stop. He hated that man. Once, he attemped at his own life. But he saw that Boleyn was going to talk with Brandon, so he stopped next windowside waiting for his turn. From there, he could hear what they were saying:

Thomas Boleyn: "Your Grace...Since you have been nominated head of Guards, it is up to you solving what's happened. I want to know who shoot that shot.."

"Charles stopped and rolled his eyes as he saw Boleyn standing before him. He sighed before replying"

I'm already doing anything it's possible, my lord..

William was still standing silently next the window, waiting for Boleyn to leave, in order to greet his Master. He was glancing around, but he could hear their conversation:

Thomas Boleyn: "Oh..I'm sure you're doing it, Your grace.."

"Charles looked straight into his eyes and stepped a bit closer"

I haven't forgot Pennington. In that case...it was up to you...

"Then he bowed and stepped away"

William saw Thomas Boleyn leaving and Lord Brandon coming finally towards him. So he walked towards his Master as well and bowed

My Lord..I'm glad meeting you again. I..I have listened everything. Thomas Boleyn tried to kill me and he is still around. As father of the new Queen of England..

William knew he could share his hate for Boleyn with Charles because he had the same feeling about Boleyn's family

I entered the hall to find it very busy and many had come to honour the new queen and i had come to see the king

"Charles walked finally towards William and patted friendly his shoulder"

William! So good to see you. We all...we thought that you were dead. But thank God...you're not. I still need you, William. Especially now. Come, join me at my table. My wife Catherine will be happy to see you again. Also, I wish to introduce you to my guests..

"He said with a relaxed smile"

I saw Lord Brandon at the far end of the hall talking to a young man and i go and speak with him.

"Greetings Lord Brandon please do forgive my intrusion i was wondering have you seen his Grace?

William was going to reply to Charles when Cromwell came to interrupt them. Noticing that his Master rolled his eyes, he decided to reply at his place

I think His Majesty is over there, Secretary Cromwell, next windowside..

As he left, he could finally talk with Lord Brandon

Yes..I'm alive and I'm fine. Glad to be here again to serve you. Of course..I would be honoured greeting your wife and your guests, my Lord..

In the meanwhile, he could hear Thomas Boleyn saying loudly:

Thomas Boleyn"A pledge to Boleyns!"

"Charles patted his shoulder friendly and lead him until his table"

My ladies...I'm glad to introduce you William Pennington, my secretary. He was away from court. His help is very precious to me..

"He said to Catherine, Anne of Cleves, Princess Madeline and her friend lady Isabelle"

William bowed with the respect due at such high ranked ladies

My Ladies..I'm honoured to meet you..

He showed a small smile, feeling grateful to his Master for being at his service again. Especially after what's happened with Boleyn's family

Royce smiled at his wife

Yes, I'm enjoying, dear. Especially because you're here. You know..I was thinking about our son's future. They're King's nephews. I suppose they can't marry a commoner. James and Oliver have to marry two noblewomen. Do you agree?

He repplied while servants were bringing some more wine

"Ah but what kingdom should they marry into. Should they be Scottish or English. Either way, we anger one king."

I pursed my lips and hummed softly to the music.  

Royce smiled and approached his mouth to her ear in order to let her understand his words in spite of music and people chatting around them

I don't think we should go so far, darling. Lord Suffolk's daughter, lady Victoria Brandon, has two little daughters: Lizzie and Mary. They are almost the same age of our sons. They both are duchesses or Somerset, and their grandfather is the most important man in England after the King himself. James and Oliver could join our dukedom with Suffolk's and Somerset's ones. Maybe...we could talk with lady Brandon and her husband about that. What do you think?

He asked after explaining his suggestion to his wife. Then he smiled cheerfully at her

"No!"

I abruptly stood from the table shaking in anger.

"You do not have my blessing for such an arrangements with the Brandons."

Many years ago there have been persistent rumours of my husband and lady Brandon. There were many whispers and rumours spread about them both and how close they had gotten.

"Leave me , for i need to be on my own for awhile. "

Turning on my heels, i left for some fresh air.

"You had no right, no right at all to make a decision without me. You forget my sister died whilst married to that man."

I was so angry at Royce also deceived and betrayed for the first time in our marriage.

"You have completely lost all of my trust. If you make our sons marry into the Brandon's family i will flee to France, with our sons."
