Katherine's Living Room

Jane was in the living room of Queen Katherine, clearing away her Jewelry and some items, she got a book out since she had no more duties that day and sat in one of the chairs and read the book whilst twirling a strand of her curly hair. She closed her eyes a little listening to the peaceful attire around her.

Looking over to lady Jane, I believe her to have fallen asleep. I go over to her quietly. She looks so peaceful, just like my darling Mary when she is asleep. I get a blanket from one of the tables and place it over her

Jane heard someone come into the living room and she opened her eyes when someone placed an blanket around her and she stood up and curtsied 'Majesty' she whispered.

Wolsey approached the room, again the messenger of bad news, but someone had to tell Katherine.
He nodded at the servant, standing by the door.
'Please, announce me, I should see Her Majesty immediately, it is about Her Highness, the Princess Margaret.'

"Jane how are you feeling?"
I ask as Wolsey is announced. I turn and see him. What is he doing here? What could he possibly have to say?
"Cardinal, what brings you here?"

Jane looked at Kathrine and smiled 'Fine Madam' she said and she looked as Wolsey came in and she curtsied lowly at him 'Your eminence' she said.

Wolsey entered and bowed deeply.
'Your Majesty, I have bad news... Her Highness, the Princess Margaret passed away this morning.'

He waited for her to process the news, his hands folden and his head lowered.

I can not believe what I have just heard. I feel my hands reach up to my chest and make the cross on me praying for her. I feel so shake. I grasp hold of a near by chair, finally able to speak
"How? What's happened? I did not even know she was ill. How is the King?"

He nods slowly and makes a movement as if he wants to come closer and comfort her but he remains where he is and bites his lips.

'Almost no one knew she was ill....' he speaks slowly.
'Not even the king. And I don't know actually how he is, though I heard he is broken by the news.'

He blinks his eyes and lowers his head.
'... to be honest, I don't know, Your Majesty. Actually... I also came here to say goodbye, I don't think I will stay here at court for long anymore.'

He looks at the woman who bothered him and who he bothered for so long, due to the king's Great Matter. Despite everything, she is the true queen of this kingdom and he respects her very much.
'I wish you all the best, Your Majesty.' he whispers and bows deeply, before he leaves the room quickly.

Lady Misseldon knock on the door to the Queens Living - Room and wait that somebody say that she can come in.

Lady Misseldon knock again at the Queens living room again. *knock *knock.

'I think the Queen wishes to be left alone. Suits me' I nudged my friend playfully. 'Shall we go to the hall for a drink?'

Lady Misseldon saw Lady Anne Stanhope.
" Oh my Lady Stanhope yes i wait so long of a answer,perhubs the Queen is very busy"
Yes let us go in the Great Hall .Perhubs i came back later for asking of my wish"

Lady Misseldon follow Lady Stanhope to the Great Hall.

I smiled at Ursula and walked arm in arm with her to the great hall.

I hear the ladies outside my room leave me, and I fall to my knees and pray where I stood, for I am so scared about what is happening here in this Kingdom..

Eustace, still shocked by everything he experienced so far at the English court, approaches Queen Katherine's room and nods at a guard.

My name is Eustace Chapuys, the new Spanish Ambassador, and I would like to have an audience with the Queen.

He waits patiently for the guard to announce him.

I hear the words "Spanish" and "ambassador" outside my door.
So I call out "Come in!" My order is clear and strong. I sit in a chair by the fire. I know he must have had a hard time here at court. So far especially he must have had a cold reception from the Howards, Boleyn and the King..

Eustace enters as soon as he is allowed and bows deeply.

Reina más graciosa....most gracious queen, I am so grateful to meet you, please, allow me to be your most humble servant on behalf of the Emperor himself. he speaks, his head still lowered in respect.

Princess Mary knock on the Door from her Mothers Living Room and wait that she come in.

I know of the ambassadors work for my cause. I know I can trust him and he is for my cause. Upon hearing the knock I call for them to come in. I see it is Mary. I signal for her to come and for her maids to remain outside the door
"Ambassador, I would like to introduce you to my daughter, the Princess Mary"

Mary open the door and go into the Living room of her Mother.
She saw that her Mother have visit of the ambassador.
" Me alegro de conocerlos senore embajador".
Mary givers her and and make a curtsy.
" I hope you understand my spain i lern it not so long time. I hope i am better in the Future."
Mary saw to her Mother.
" Mummy i am happy to meet you but i saw you very busy.Its better for you when i came later"?

He turns around as someone enters and smiles warmly as he notices it is the Princess Mary.
He bows deeply and nods approvingly.

El gusto es mio princesa, puedo ver que aprende sus lecciones de español muy muy bien. he answers her friendly.
You have grown, Your Highness, if I may say so, you've become a young lady! he winks at her.

He looks at the queen again and notices the changes in her appearance, too, but to his dismay, not in her favor. She looks older, pale and unwell. Her face is puffy and under her eyes are deep, dark bags. He bows to kiss her hand respectfully and compassionately.

Dear madam, how are you?
