Study Room

Norfolk held his breath as Henry sat down and started to write, but when he spoke he grinned and winked discreetly at Brandon.
Very good Your Majesty, we will show him who is in charge here! he said while Henry handed the paper to Brandon.

"Charles took the paper from Henry's hands and bowed with his head"

Thank you, Your Majesty...

"He glanced at Thomas with a satisfied smile on his face"

Norfolks eyes widened as he sensed the resolution in Henry's attitude.
We will make him leave first thing tomorrow and bring the Great Seal back to you.

He bowed deeply.
Your Majesty... he smiled satisfied at Brandon, waiting for him to come along.

"Charles bowed after him"

Your Majesty...

"Then he raised his eyes and left the room with Norfolk, holding proudly King's permission in his hands"

I walked through corridor towards my brother's study room.,after I talked with Bishop Fisher in silence. As soon as I arrived at the study room door I waited, even more nervously for the servant to announced my presence.

Once when my name was announced I walk in and curtsied low.

''Brother I hope I do not disturb you...I just need to talk with you about something,but if you are busy I can come later. ''

I said,looking up at him.

I sat down on a chair after smoothing my dress behind me.

''Yes I feel better now and I am well.The best thing I could do was to move on even if that cause me a great pain...And you brother,how are you?''

I asked warmly,with a small smile.

I looked at him warmly and spoke softly.

''I have heard about Wolsey and still can not believe that he betrayed you.I am so sorry it must be very hard for you''

I sighed and looked at my hands nervously.

''It is about my marriage...I would like Cardinal John Fisher to celebrate my marriage,of course if you agree with that''

I galanced nervously around the room,purposely not meeting his eyes.

''He helped me a lot when Margaret died,and I don't think that I would be good as I am now if I didn't spoke with him.I think that he would be perfect for it and my future husband think that as well''

I said hopefully,looking at him again.

I looked down in my hands and gave a little imperceptible nod.

''Yes he asked him...But he didn't mean to offend you,he just thought that he will be good man to celebrate the ceremony.After all your big matter have nothing to do with my marriage.''

I said looking up at him again.

I sighed in relief,smiling brightly.

''Oh,thank you brother! Thank you so much!''

I said happily,feeling more relaxed now.

''I think that party is great idea after all that happened we all could use some fun...Then I should start to plan the wedding''

I nodded slightly with a smile.

''Oh yes ,I am very excited and glad that wedding will be here in this palace!''

As I heard his words the lake side come to my mind and I looked down.

''Of course,brother! I will never forget who I am and I promise that I will be careful.''

I had never felt more ashamed of myself as I did at that moment.I remained a calm composure as a fake small smile makes it's way to my face.

''I am sure that the wedding ceremony will be very beautiful...I hope so brother as I hope as well that you will be finally happy ,too.''

I said softly as I stood up and hugged him back tightly.

I smiled softly to him.

''Oh no I am not sad...I am sure as well that he will make me happy...Oh of course brother! You too,brother!''

I said and kissed his cheek softly.Then I curtsied and left the room.

As I walked down the corridor to his majesty's study room, I had never felt this nervous...especially speaking to Henry. He is my good friend. Although, I didn't know how he would feel about how i've behaved.

One of his groomsmen announced me "Sir Anthony Knivert to see you, you majesty" I walked in with my hands tied behind my back, "Good day majesty" was all I manged to say at the moment.
