| Henry listened Cromwell's words and slowly he remained speechless. A girl! Anne gave birth a girl! It wasn't the Prince he wanted. He just nodded. Then he stood up and left the room to reach Queen's chambers[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] | |

| Henry looked at Cromwell and stood up. He approached him
Yes, Master Cromwell. Princess Elizabeth's legitimacy is not in doubt. But you will submit a law to Parliament. This law must state that succession to the throne is a prerogative of our children. And no one else.. | |

| I listen to King Henry and then after he finished I replied.
"Of course your majesty I shall prepare the law at once and present it to Parliament. Your children with her Majesty are to be the rightful successors of England. There is one thing Your Majesty that may cause trouble within the passing of this new law even though there is no questioning it as Elizabeth is the rightful heir but there are many who are fond of your firstborn daughter the Lady Mary. | |

| Henry smirked while reaching his desk
Lady Mary is no longer a Princess, Master Cromwell. She'll never sit upon my throne. Rather...I know for sure, Master Cromwell, that there are people, stubborn people...prevented people, who don't want to accept the validity of my marriage with the Queen. I therefore believe it is necessary to institute sanctions against them. To each of them, I'll give the opportunity to show their loyalty.. | |

Very well, Master Cromwell. I know I can always count on you. The Queen and my Princess are very well...very soon all people in England will learn to love and respect them. And very soon Queen Anne will give me a son. I'm sure of this.. | |

That's all for now, Master Cromwell. You may go. Just...one more thing: Lady Katherine and Lady Mary won't receive letters or visitors. So read every letters that comes out from this Palace. Is that clear?
He added turning towards him | |

| Anne walked into the Kings chambers upon returning from France. Her step father, the Kings Uncle Lord Lisle requested her to travel with the Fine Wine he was sending over as a gift to the King. She waited, before being let in and she walked into the room with her eyes on the floor and she curtsied lowly "Your Grace." | |

| Henry smiled as she saw the young lady entering the room. He nodded
Lady Anne Bassett! I heard about your arrival at court. And I'm very happy having you here in England. After all, you're part of my family, dear cousin..
He stretched out his arm to allow her to kiss his hand | |

| Anne took his hand, kissing it softly before nodding her head "And I am most honored. My father has sent you some of his finest French Wine as a gift, and also the papers of the accounts in Calais. I am no ambassador, only a messenger so I will not try and explain them." She took the letters from a pocket in her skirts and handed him them "But I hope, it pleases your grace." | |

| Henry took the paper from her hands and read it. Then he nodded and smiled
Please, thank your father for his gracious gift, Lady Anne. I appreciate it very much. I heard that you entered in my Queen's household...is that true? Hope you'll feel like at home here at court. And maybe..I can arrange with your father a good match for you. Such a noble lady like you are..can't be unmarried for long..

| "Yes, your majesty. I find that I have been very fortunate to find a place within Her Majesty's household. I feel more at ease here at the English Court, as if I was meant to be here." She admitted with a smile and she felt a blush creep over her cheek at the mention of them finding a husband for her hand and she laughed nervously "I....Forgive me, your majesty but...I do not wish to be married off too soon. I want to explore the ways and means off love before I enter into marriage blindly. I heard that you are very talented in playing the lute, is that true, Your Majesty?" | |

| Henry smiled before nodding
I understand your anxiety, my Lady Anne. But you have no reasons to worry about. You can be sure that your father and I will choose the best match for you. After all, you're very young..and you can have many children. You're no longer a child. So you're perfectly aware about your duties..
He paused for a moment, before adding
Also..you're a maid. So I'm sure that many noblemen will ask me your hand. And..even if I'm aware about your virtue, after negotiations you'll have to do a virginity text with our physician of court. Just a formality, of course..for your future husband..
He noticed her scared glance and smiled warmly
Oh please, my Lady Anne. Show me your smile. I'm sure you'll be very happy. And...yes, I play the liute. Love doing that. My father taught me. Do you play as well, my lady? | |

| Juana of Aragon had finally arrived, she was a cousin to the King's late wife who he had divorced long ago to be with the lady Anne. Upon her arrival she was met with the upmost respect given her foreign status of being Queen of Naples and Jerusalem in her own right as the granddaughter of Alfonso II of Naples and great niece of the last former King of Naples, Frederick of Naples. Standing near a decorative alter she looked at the different objects placed there before turning her head seeing a servant
"Ahh yes, do tell his majesty I have come to visit him as to his request, I shall await here for him and his blessing of approval"
she spoke running her fingers upon the cloth of the table as the servant rushed off to do as the young foreign Queen asked of them, she did not wish to disturb the King unless he was ready as she knew rulers such as herself had busy lives to uphold for themselves and there loyal subjects.

| The significance of this meeting with the King of England was of great importance, it was no secret his majesty had broke from Rome's holy sea to divorce her cousin all that time ago prior to her arrival but Juana was no ally or someone fond of the Aragonese cousins of Spain who shared the same blood as herself in some ways, as a matter of fact, she did not even make allies with the Emperor which she took full force to ensure Naples and Jerusalem remained independent from Spain all together after the scandal from France and Spain uniting together to take that her families birth right in Naples all together claiming it theres as she put a quick stop to it the minute she risen to the throne as it's rightful heir and ruler as successor to her grandfather and to that her uncle.
The moment she gotten approval from the King of England to enter the room she had come into the room dressed in the purple attire which indicated the high born royalty she was. Purple was the color of royalty after all and Juana often wore dark colors, she was pious but very very strong minded, strong willed and cunning, all traits she gotten from her family in Naples. When she entered she noticed his advisors rise to greet her as her dark hues watched every single one of them in silence before turning her gaze to his majesty the King

"la seva majestat" She spoke fluently in Catalan language which she had learned so well while showing respect for the King but she also knew her latin very well too. Her eyes looked right at him "Thank you for having me here in your kingdom, despite my blood relations to the Aragonese from Spain." She admitted to him once more grateful indeed
"I trust your majesty is in good health?" She wasn't familiar with the ways of England, everything here was quite new to her but her eyes remained upon the King who she was speaking to even if her first words in the room were Catalan language from Spain. | |

| Henry looked at her with a smile. She was very beautiful woman. He liked her catalan accent and her strenght. He just nodded with his head
Your Majesty..Queen Juana..your blood can't prevent you from coming in my court. You're always welcome. Let me say that I find you absolutely stunning. Your beauty is almost a legend in all Europe. I think..our Kingdom should be friends. And I want you to be my ally. After all..we are almost relatives..
He ordered a servant to serve her a glass of wine
Hope you like our wine, my Lady. Since we have a lot to talk about. You know..I 'm looking for husband for my daughter Katherine. And..you have a son, if I'm not wrong.. | |
