Pathway Near The River Thames

"I too have come to greet her majesty and congratulate her but i do not know if i should as i believe England would not welcome a Spanish princess after what happened to Katherine.

Perhaps i should return to Spain now i have visited England. What do you think my lord?

Richard took a long, deep breath while walking and glancing around

Well..what can I say, my Lady? Of course, Spain is not in good relationship with England right now. Katherine is your aunt, after all. Have you already met the King and Queen Anne?

He asked turning his eyes towards her

"No my lord i have not yet met with his and her Grace but i would like to see them.

"Do you think i would be welcomed into the English court?

Richard took a deep breath

I think you would, my Lady. You have nothing to do with King's decision to marry Anne. Maybe..they could think you are at Katherine of Aragon's side..

He replied looking at her

"What are they like the king and queen of England?

Richard smiled a bit, before replying

Well..I met them officially at my Queen Eleanor's coronation. They are nice and kind. Henry is a good man..and good King, I suppose. Queen Anne is very beautiful. We talked a bit about poetry and books when she came in Bavaria. What about Spain, my Lady?

He asked

"Things in Spain are very different my lord. My mother held prisoner by my brother and things here in England are much more peaceful

Richard looked astonished at her

Yes..I have heard about your mother, my Lady. I'm very sorry. Hope your brother the Emperor Charles will find a way to fix things. Anyway..things in England are not so peaceful as you think, Your Highness. King Henry and Queen Anne already have many enemies at court..

He added turning his glance towards her

"How did they get some many enemies so quickly for i think she only became queen recently?

Richard looked at her for few seconds before answering

Well..many people here still love your aunt, Queen Katherine. They see Anne just like an usurper. Also, your uncle King Henry broke with the Church of Rome. And many catholic are no happy about that, as you can easily imagine, my Lady..

He answered while walking slowly at her side along garden

I can totally see that my lord as it was horrible the way he just put Katherine aside to marry his new queen.

That i can assure you did not go particularly well in Spain for as a strong Catholic nation we were not impressed by his break from the church my lord

Richard nodded

Of course. Anyway, I suggest you to show respect towards the King. And towards your brother the Emperor also. Maybe it's the only way to fix things. Anne Boleyn is now Queen of England. This can't be undone, my lady..

He replied thoughfully

I understand my lord. Perhaps I should write to my brother about this and when may i see the queen and his grace here in England

Richard shrugged a bit

I don't know, my Lady. Maybe you should ask an official audience. About your brother...yes, it could be a good idea. You're his sister, after all..

He added glancing around garden

"I am new in England my lord and sorry as i am not sure of their ways. How do i get an audience with them?

Richard looked tenderly at her

Oh...just go to King's chambers and ask to a guard if he is available for receiving you, my Lady. I think he will do that gladly..

He replied

"I was told that i may not be welcomed to England with myself being Spanish.

Which chamber do i go to my lord?

Richard let out a small sigh

I think..that the King knows that you have nothing to do with his divorce's matter. Katherine is your aunt, this is true. But he is a kind man. Especially towards foreign guests..King's chambers are always surrounded by guards. But I guess they will let you come in..

He said while looking around garden

"Thank you my lord. Do you think i can speak to the king about problems i am having with my mother being held captive. I wanted also to congratulate him on his marriage

Richard sighed before replying

Well...I think you may, my Lady. He is a very good politician, after all. Please, don't be scared of him..

He added reassurengly

I look at him closely.

"I am not afraid my lord for i am like my mother strong.
Now where can i find his Grace is he at Whitehall?

Richard nodded

I think so, my Lady. I wish you the best. For yourself and all your family. Maybe I'll arrange an official visit in Spain after Christmas..

He said stopping his walk nect to Palace's entrance

"I would happily welcome you to Spain myself my lord. You would be my guest and you can right to me if you like and i will prepare arrangements for your visit.

Where will you go now

Richard nodded while smiling

Very well. Can I escort you until the Palace, now? It's getting rathar cold outside, my Lady..

He suggested offering her his arm

"I would like that my lord for you to escort me and is the weather always this cold in England my lord?
