Little Lake

I was a little surprised when I recognized the person in water.

''Your Grace!''

I said surprised,smiling a little.

''It is very nice to see you as well....Me?I just needed to leave palace and somehow I end up here''

I said honestly.Then I blushed as I noticed his naked body under the water and looked away.

I smiled, looking up to the bench where his clothes were.I nodded my head as I looked at him again.I felt my face heat up, I knew I was blushing again. I was so tired of blushing all the time.

''Of course''

I said and started to walk towards the bench.Smiling I took his clothes in my hands and walked back to him.

“Is the water cold?”

Handing him his clothes I asked.

I smiled a little at his question and sighed deeply

''You know when I was a child,I was swimming in the lake all the time.I remember how much I loved it''

I said with brightly smile,remembering my childhood

''But I do not think now it would be appropriate for me to do it.Anyway I was just curious''

I said as I looked at lake,wondering If water could wash away this pain and sorrow that I feel as before when I was a child.

I looked at him when he started to laugh,realizing that he was teasing me.

''Your Grace like to tease me, don't you?”

Then I nodded and turned around ,waiting patiently for him to get dressed.

I was looking around at the trees.The jocund breeze was rushing through the trees, dashing their masses of foliage hither and thither, turning up the silvery undersides of the leaves at one moment,and changing their views into all shades of green the next and the birds were glancing and chirping amongst the branches. As he get dressed I turned around with a little smile on my face.

''Yes very soon there will be no need for us to be so formal but for now we need to be,even if your grace find this very amusing''

I said with brightly smile,noticing for the first time how long his hair is.I felt a shocking urge to run my fingers through it, but I kept my hands safely next to me.

Suddenly I felt a light touch of fingers on my shoulder. I turned around.

''It is fine,your Grace! You could not know that I will came here ,and I should be the one who need to apologize,I'm the one who ruined your swimming.''

I said, smiling at him.

I looked at him and my half smile turned into a full smile.

''I can see why you choose this place...Here is so peaceful and beautiful''

I softly spoke to him as I looked around.then I nodded slowly.

''Yes''

I replied,smiling slightly.We walked over to the bench and I sat down,putting my hands in my lap.

I smiled softly looking at the lake.

''Do you miss Scotland?''

I asked curiously.Then I looked at him right in his eyes and frowned,knowing that my brother would not be happy with his choice.

''If you think that he is good choice for it,then I agree.But my brother would not be very pleased ,for me he is perfect for it and he would be my first choice as well''

I said,thinking about my conversation with Bishop Fisher the other day.

I lowered my head and sighed quietly.

''Yes he is very good and honest man but he is also the only one not on the side of my brother in his great matter.I am sure that you have heard about Cardinal Wolsey .They were great friends and now he is not in his favour anymore and all because he did failed to give him a divorce.So now you tell me do you really think that he will be happy with a man who openly don't support his divorce to celebrate his sister marriage?''

I asked as I looked at him

Taking his hand in mine, I gave it a gentle squeeze and said.

''If you want him to celebrate our wedding ceremony,then he will do it,I will take care of it...You will not do anything...I will speak with my brother and try to convince him that Bishop Fisher is the right man to celebrate our wedding ceremony''

I looked up at him with a small smile.

I looked at him and shook my head slowly.

''You didn't cause me any trouble...And don't worry everything shall be fine,you will see''

I said gently and sighed quietly.

I smiled when he kissed my hand.

''I am sure that he will listen to me but I can not promise that he will accept Bishop Fisher to celebrate our wedding ceremony...You will not be to disappointed if I fail to convince him?''

I asked quietly,looking at him.

''I hope so as well''

I added with a brightly smile.

I smiled widely to him.

''Yes indeed he is very stubborn and as you said it our marriage is not connected with his divorce,so we don't need to worry to much.....Yes everything shall be fine''

I said still,smiling.

''I talked the other day with Bishop Fisher in the Chapel.... I think you should know that''

I said quietly,looking up at him.
