Mary Rose Tudor's bedchamber

I sat quietly next to the mirror brushing my hair.Today is my sister funeral and this was the last day I would be able to see her.I looked at myself in the mirror,my skin was pale, and there was a look of despair on my face and my eyes were red and swollen.I wiped the tears from under my eyes and set the hat and veil in such a way that my swollen eyes were hidden.I didn't notice that someone entered in the room I just felt someone's arms around my body.I looked up with tears in my eyes and saw Royce and hugged him back.

''Thank you...Just stay here with me I don't want to be alone''

I whispered,nodding weakly.

His arms felt so warm and comfortable that I surrendered myself to them and pressed my face into his chest, my tears dampening his shirt. I cried miserably, not caring how I sobbed or how I gasped for breath.

''I will never see her again,and I never told her how much I love her...And now she is gone never coming back''

I said quietly, through tears.

I nodded weakly and wiped the rest of my tears away from my cheeks.

''Yes she stopped suffering now,and my brother Arthur is now with her in heaven..I just need to accept that,but it hurt so much.It hurt to move. It hurt even to breathe.''

I said quietly,looking at him sadly.

I sat on the bad with his help.Then I laid my head on his shoulder as he hugged me tight once again.

''Thank you for staying with me...I really appreciate this''

I managed to say.I was so tired and my eyes was closing down.I wanted to sleep but I couldn't because every time when I closed my eyes I could still see Margaret's body,so I tried my best to keep them open.

not seeing my aunty for a while i go to check on here and knock on her chamber door

When I heard a knock on the door I weakly turned my head,looking towards the door surprised.I did not have enough strength for visitors,but perhaps it is something important.

''Come in''

I quietly shouted and then looked at Royce again.

As I enter nervously I see Mary and Royce I curtsy to them. Am I disturb you I do apologise if you wish I shall go

I tried to smile, but my lips failed my mind's bidding.

''No not at all...Please come''

I said weakly,trying so hard to keep my eyes open.

auntie i was wondering how you were faring i am sorry to hear about your sister a servant had told me what happeni walk closer to the bed kneeling in front off my aunt[b]

I nodded and softly touch her cheek.

''I am fine now....just a little tired,my dear.''

I said trying to be strong.

I could feel the tears in my eyes again but I took a deep breath trying to calm myself and to be strong.Then I leaned against his arm and rested my head on his shoulder and relaxed,nodding in agreement.

unsure to leave or not [baunty you know i am here for you [/b]

I looked at Cordelia gently.

''Thank you my dear...It means a lot to me but now I really need to rest''

I said very softly

I understand as I curtsy I leave the room

I sighed deeply and sadly when she left her room.

''She never had opportunity to to get to know Margaret better''

I said quietly.Then I looked at Royce and added.

''You know ,you don't need to stay...You already done to much for me and I really appreciate everything but I don't want to trouble you more''

He helped me remove my coat. I nodded agreement and lay on the bed.I really needed the rest even if i didn't want to admit to myself how tired I was.

''I'll never forget what you've done for me''

I said softly with a small smile on my face.
