I smiled back at him and say
Your Majesty, i can see that you are very well and very fit and your are indeed a
fine figure of a man my lord and i am most happy that you are so well indeed for your majesty's health is always most important to me and to your majesty's court.

your majesty if i may speak freely, i am but a woman and i consider myself to be very wise and
in such matters. for it does come from deep with in my heart and my soul my great concern for your majesty
as i can see in your eyes when i look at you such great sadness in them and i can feel it in your heart for the eyes are the windows to the soul your majesty. so it is said and is so true

i smile at him and i ask him if i may move closer to him and i take my hand once again and place in his and hold his hand as i touch his cheek with the palm of my hand.and i smile at him. I say to him a woman knows what a woman knows your majesty deep with in my heart .I know and feel your heartbreak.

I smile at his majesty and say

your Majesty, yes i am being very well treated i thank you for your love and kindness
as i am most gracious to your majesty and his court for welcoming me here it is quite lovely
and i do love the gardens so.


my first husband was quite young and very ill it was not a happy marriage and so i have had any children nor have i know the great undying love of a man , yes it is true that john is good to me and i am most gracious to him. alas my husband John is quite ill and can not travel any longer, and we were badly treated durning the marches i feared for johns life and my own and the lives of his children during that time,

but we made it through and i just want to be happy with the hopes that god will take john peacefully and he will not suffer any longer.

there is the matter of Treason looming over his head and i do not wish him to die with that in his heart
i would hope that you majesty could see mercy on him and pardon my husband for what little time he has left
i would like it to be happy for him your majesty


i sit and i wait for his majesty to reply , nervous about what he will say

i smile and say

thank you your majesty for seeing me and for listening, and thank you for your love and kindness
i wish you a lovely evening at the Party

i stand, i smile curtsie and and i take my leave of his majesty's chambers.

Henry came back to Palace, holding the book that Anne gave him. He entered in his bedroom and left the book on the table. It was raining outside. He stared at the book for a long while

Then he took it in his hands. Tyndale's Bible! He opened it with trembling hands and started to read

While listening rain's noise against the window, Henry read it with interest: "A king can be King and Pope at the same time in his kingdom. Pope is just a temporal prince. He can fail like everyone in the world..."

I walked through corridor towards my brother's chambers in silence with my head hung down,tears streaming down my face and the pain in my chest was unbearable.I came in front of the door and waited for the servant to announced my presence.

Geoffrey nodded at Mary and entered in the room. He bowed deeply

Your Majesty...Princess Mary Rose is here...

I took a deep breath and entered in room slowly.

''Brother..''

I whispered and rushed to him and flung my arms around him, hugging him tightly.

Once the Princess entered and ran towards King, Geoffrey bowed silently and left the room. He knew they needed to stay alone to comfort each other

I wrapped my arms around him and laid my head on his chest. I tried hard not to cry, but the whole time I could feel a lump in my throat, and it was hurting to speak.

''We must be strong brother and find comfort each other in sorrow''

I nodded in agreement.My shoulders were still shaking.

''I know they are now together in heaven...But still it hurts to much knowing that she is not here anymore''

I wiped tears for my face,clasping my arms to my chest to control my shaking

I nodded and took a deep breath.

''Yes now it's just you and me...A date for my marriage? I do not even think about it now when this happened but whenever you think it should be I will not complain''

I said in surprise.I did not expect for him to mention my future marriage.

I sighed,looking at him.

''Of course we will stay together as family,no meter what happen.You are my brother only family I have and I will always be on your side even if I do not agree with everything you are doing.''

I said quietly,still shaking.

I nodded softly.Of course I didn't agree with things he was doing but he is my brother only family I have,and no matter how wrong I think he is I would always be on his side.

''I do hope with all my heart that you are doing the right thing and that you'll eventually remove my doubts.''

I said,looking at him

I sighed deeply,nodding softly.

''Of course brother...It was very long day''

I said as I curtsey.Then i left the room.
