Great Hall

I listened her carefully as she spoke.

''I am sorry to hear that,my lady.I don't know your father but I am sure that he would be happy and proud if he knew that you are his daughter.Maybe one day you will meet him.''

I said softly to her.

" Thank you.But i now a bastard or ?"

''You are not my lady not for me anyway.''

I replied politely.

" Thank you you are so kind. I am afraid to meet my father perhubs he say he have not a daughter and say my mother lie i have nothing unless the letter of my mother.I will see what comes in the future."

Ursula take a gulp of wine.

" Where is your husband in moment i see him not here?"

''Don't worry I am sure that your father would never do that.''

I said kindly to her.

''He is doing some things for King.''

" I am inquisitive what the King say to Cordelia."

Ursula look at the door witch conduct to the Kings Chambers.

''I am sure that everything is fine my lady.It is probably nothing to make us worry.''

I said with kind smile.

" I like Cordelia and Mary very much they both so nice."

Ursula smilie friendly.

I smiled back to her.

''Yes they are...They both have a good heart.''

" Oh yes they both are so good princess and one day will one of them be the Queen of england so God will."

Ursula lift her goblet and bring a toast.

" On Princess Mary,Cordelia and of you your Highness and God save the Queen."

I raised my own goblet at her toast.

''To them and to you lady Misseldon.''

I said,smiling to her and took a little sip.

" Thank you your Highness."

Ursula make a worry face.

" I can not forget what for a anguish must our Queen stand.
I admire her so much she is a powerful Queen."

I nodded softly to her.

''I can not imagen how she is feeling,but Queen is strong and she will never give up.''

" Yes she is a daughter from Ferdinant of Aragone and Isabella of Castille she will never give up.
But what she can do ? The King became at end what he want.Perhubs he disown her and Mary lost her claim of the Throne.I will hope that it never come to that."

Ursula take a deep breath.

I shook my head slightly.

''I don't belive that would ever happen,my brother would not do such thing.''

" Let us hope that it never happen.But you see how your brother love Lady Anne.
We can not closes our eyes of the truth.I f we like it or not.The King needs a son and the Queen can`t give him a son.The King must think at his dynasty.Mary is too young Cordelia is iligitim who will take the Crown when God forbidden if something happens to the king?"

Ursula look at Mary with a intent face.

" Fact is the King needs a son and Lady Anne is a young woman,she can birth him a son."

I listened her carefully and thought for a moment about what she said.

''Yes you are right my brother need a son,but this is not the way.''

" And what is the way when the Queen can not give him a son?"

Ursula make a inquiring face.

I sighed a little and took a long sip from wine.

''I don't know my lady...''

" I think it gives nothing what the King bring up for his intent.Its so sad for the Queen.
But we can do nothing we must accept the determination of the King for what he determination
is."

Ursula make a meditatively face.

" Perhubs its better to make a view in the future.When it comes how i think i must my position reconsider.
I love the Queen but the King have more power as she have.I must think at my future.My Mother needs my help.
Will you condemn me when i will be a Lady in waiting for a other Queen when it comes ?"

ask Ursula careful.

I shook my head a little.

''Of course I will not...Everyone is doing what is best for them and they make sure that they future is safe.How can I judg something like that?''

Jasper strolled into The Great Hall that evening and took a goblet of wine from a servant and sipped a little. He smiled warmly at the dancers and musicians. He then nestled himself in a window seat and enjoyed the nice wine.

As I enter the hall, I look around being new at the court I do not know that many people and my stay is short so. I will not get to know the people that live here, as I curtsy on my entrance I pick up a gobet of wine and take a sip as I look on

Jane walked into the hall with her sister on trail, her small hand upon her small bump she debated if to take a goblet of wine or not and she turned and chatted with her sister.

Anne smiled at her sister "How big your little well not so little bump has grown and how motherly you look!"
