Study Room

Margaery entered the King’s study room in the hopes that he would be there. She hadn’t seen him for a long time, not since she had to leave court because of some family issues. Now she longed to see her childhood friend. “Your majesty, the Lady Margaery Tyrell wishes an audience with you.”

Margarey thanked the chamberlain before she headed inside. She removed the hood that covered her head. “Your majesty,” she curtsied low, trying to hide a smile. “I hope I don’t disturb you.”

I was on a mission. Howard women were like Howard men strong, independent and stubborn to the core. I liked to think that I was a lot nicer than some. I needed the kings help with a suitor refusing to marry me and an secret engagement I needed to be guided in some direction in which to go. And I was adamant that my uncle Thomas had no control or say over my private affairs. I had nothing wrong against them Anne was one of my close cousins but it was nice to seek advice out of the family. I let the guards announce me.

Guard- Duchess Howard your Majesty.

As I entered the room I smiled and curtsied. I'm Muriel Howard your majesty. First cousin to Anne, niece to Elizabeth Boleyn her mother. I explained so he would understand exactly whom I came from. If your highness is free I have come to seek permission to marry.

At the kings request, I seated myself placing my hands in my lap, my posture straight. Yes Anne has a certain allure about her. We have a cousin who is a midwife her name is Sabrina. The man I wish to marry is well known to your majesty his name is Agostino. I held my breath preparing myself for his temper or something else.

I shot him back the same frown being a physician was a much gratifying rank than others. Yes and he has always cured you're leg, The problem your majesty is this, if Anthony Knivert does not wish to marry me as was already planned. Then what other man am I suppose to marry and humilate even further my family name the Howard. I was calm on the outside but inside I was angry. Thomas Boleyn was no where near as noble or as loyal as the Howard family. It was after all my father who suggest Anne come back from La French court. To keep the kings thoughts with nothing but thoughts of Mary. I was so very tempted to spill this truth but I didn't like to stoop so low as to blackmail. I wish to no further humiliate my family. I'll be honest with you even if this is un-lady like, I have still kept my virtue, if you think that I am marrying him. It is just love after all and I feel as if I have to apologize for that.

-Princess Rosalina Borgia di Calabira of Aragon had traveled far from Italy, from the shores of Calabria she had set sail from so she could seek a audience with the King of England, it had been a while since she had come to England since she was but a young girl merely a child, Once arrived in England she was escorted to the King at once only to be seen by the guards "I have come seeking a audience with the King of England, the guards simply nodded and the princess was let in the room, looking at the king she smiled "Your majesty" Rosalina spoken and bows to him gracefully-

I was about to answer when I was so rudely interrupted. I rolled my eye's and waited for her to leave. If this is a busy time for your majesty I can come back. I said impatiently I knew I should of gone to Anne about this matter first.

I held my breath whilst he spoke I was expecting him to burst into anger. But he remained calm and I had to laugh. I love him very much I've never loved any other before so it's all so new and fresh. He has the most georgous freckles that rim just under his bluey, hazel like eyes. I sighed dreamily not really caring if the king noticed. It's just love your majesty. He may not be noble but to me he has the most noblest jobs.

How was one to act when the king had personally given his permission. Inside I was extremely happy I sank into a deep curtsey before him and kissed his hand. Your majesty is most generous and I am forever in your debt. The king was not so bad after all and he loved Anne which was most important.

I think it is just and right that Anne has a worthy title to her name. I hope that in the eye's of those who doubt your love for one another, that it will keep them quite. I arose sitting back opposite the king. Their were some courtiers who still thought that it was a little fling. Anne loves you very much, your majesty. I hope that when Anne is granted the Marchioness of Pembroke that, in future she might be given a more regal status. But my lips are sealed and I shall not tell her of your surprise you have my word.

I found it hard to contain my excitement at hearing this wonderful news. Anne is family I will always support her. I am just so happy that you two will finally be wed. Will the duke of Suffolk be coming as well.

I would make the duke of Suffolk attend. You see when he attends your marriage he can never say anything bad about her in public as he paid witness to the whole thing. I had never met neither Charles or Thomas and I wondered if they had both met each other. Anne is a virtuous lady she wouldn't sleep with a writer not when she can have a king.
