I take a seat on the sofa and wait nervously. What would my future be? Henry held the outcome of my life in his hands... but I would do as he obeys! He was my King but also my brother and my love and loyalty to him was unquestionable!

Subject: Re: Bedroom Thu Aug 15, 2013 10:58 pm

Henry stood in front of her and nodded

Yes...you understood. Your future. I'm thinking to arrange your marriage, sister. I have great projects for you. Tell me, Katherine: would you like to marry?

He asked smiling while looking at her

"I have been raised to be married...and it is something I've only dreamed of until now" thinking my answer through more..."and I shall serve you Henry how ever you wish" I smile faintly at him, folding my hands in my lap. Our Aunt and the nuns had readied me for marriage...it was my duty as a princess to marry for England's advantage.

Henry noticed she was in tension. So he finally spoke

Prince Francis of Navarre is still unmarried. He is heir to the throne and this union will bring many advantages to England. I heard he is kind and handsome. And in this way you could be Queen of Navarre, as your poor sister Margaret had been Queen of Portugal before you. I have intention to invite him to Palace..

He said with excitement and waited for her reaction

"I see." I look at him, slightly scared by the idea "Navarre is so far away!"
The fear penetrates my voice as I speak; my breathing deepening. "Is the prince my only suitor? I will happily meet him and be betrothed to him but I would be so far from you and our family!"

Subject: Re: Bedroom Sat Aug 17, 2013 10:46 pm

Henry shook his head with a soft smile

Uhm..it's not necessary, actually. Just in case that he would get the throne of Navarre and you would be Queen. But his bother is still young and strong, and I guess he will rule his Kingdom for many years. Yes...I received proposals from some spanish and french dukes. But none of them seems interesting and suitable for you..

Henry smiled and approached her taking her hand

Don't be scared, sister. You can remain in England, if you wish. Just tell me: are you ready to meet him?

Subject: Re: Bedroom Sun Aug 18, 2013 11:46 am

I smile faintly "Yes" nodding my head gently "Will he be presented to me before the court?"
I wanted people to be there, people that I felt safe and comfortable with. "Will Mary, Lady Anne and Charles be there?"

Subject: Re: Bedroom Sun Aug 18, 2013 11:18 pm

Henry nodded again

Of course, dear. You'll meet him next week in my Reception Room. And I will allow Charles and your sister to attend, if this pleases you. I wrote a letter to Prince Francis. So he should be already at court..

He smiled warmly extending his hand towards her

Taking my brother's hand I rise. A smile crosses my face as I look at him; my beloved brother. "I shall look forward to it, Henry" Bobbing a small curtsey, my golden hair tumbles over my shoulders.
"I'm sorry to have disturbed you darling" I place a kiss on his cheek "But, I have one last question; Do I look like Mother?...Only everyone says so; Aunt Catherine did, even the nuns told me it was why Father couldn't bare to look at me..."

Subject: Re: Bedroom Mon Aug 19, 2013 10:46 pm

Henry's face turned in surprise. He took gently her hands in his

Oh my dear..how can you say that? Father loved you. You were his little, delicate Princess. If our Mother is now in God's hands, it's not your fault, my darling..Now, go back to your room. Next days will be very exacting for you..

He smiled and kissed her hand after his words

Subject: Re: Bedroom Tue Aug 20, 2013 2:16 pm

I smile at him "Thank you Henry...I shall look forward to it." Kissing his cheek, I curtsey elegantly. "Your Majesty." I open the door, turning to look over my shoulder; I smile at him again.
Turning around quickly, I smile at him "Henry, please send for the prince and I sooner...if I may ask you to? And Charles as well...We will soon have a state wedding to plan." I smile brightly and curtsey once more.

Subject: Re: Bedroom Tue Aug 20, 2013 10:41 pm

Henry kissed her forehead before she walked towards door. He nodded

Of course..the whole court will be invited. My sister's happiness is a matter of State. I wish you good night, sister..

He said jokingly but the meaning of his words was serious

After Katherine left, Henry took a breath and sat next to fireplace

Henry was still lost in his thoughts when he saw Anne entering. She looked more nervous than usual. But he didn't mind. He smiled and stood up quickly

My beloved!

Anne was very angry. She stopped and looked at Henry

"How could you do it?"

Henry was confused. He couldn't understand what she was talking about and kept on walking towards his bed

What's about?

"Your shirts! She still makes your shirts! How could you let her?!"

She followed Henry

Henry reached his bed and stopped to look at her. He shrugged

I didn't even thought about that..

"You told me there was nothing intimate between you and her, anymore!"

She looked at Henry

Henry rolled his eyes and took a deep breath. He was becoming nervous

That's true. Where is intimacy? They are just...shirts, for God's sake!

He almost shouted

Anne tried to keep calm

"They are not only shirts, they are you and me! They are you and her!"

Subject: Re: Bedroom Thu Aug 29, 2013 11:07 pm

Henry took a breath and shook nervously his head. He shrugged, still astonished by her reaction

I can't understand..

"Than you ought to."

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

She laid her knee on the bed. She was clenching her teeth

"It's so hard when we're about to get married, and she's still here! You can't have three people in a marriage! Why can't you see that?"

Subject: Re: Bedroom Sat Aug 31, 2013 11:24 pm

Henry couldn't refrain his anger this time. He leaned on bed too to be close enough to her face

And can't you see that I have much more important things to think about rather than my shirts?!

He shouted. Then he left fastly the room with quick, angry steps
