Bathroom

"Charles was enjoying his bath, lying in thier tub, with Margaret in front of him. She looked as she was feeling better, and he felt happy for that. Trying to hide his worries, he smiled lovingly at her"

Margaret smiled back at Charles and she circled with water with one of her fingers 'Anna was not well, in court' She said breaking the silence, in a barely noticeable whisper.

"Charles was staring at water. He raised suddenly his eyes as Margaret spoke"

Anna? What's...happened to her? And my children?

"He asked worriedly, staring at her"

Margaret sat still and she gulped 'They think she is with Child again, Charles' She said and she blinked a couple of times to get the tears that threatened to spill out of her eyes.

"Charles opened his eyes wide and opened his mouth at the same time"

She thinks...what?!

"He could just exclaim with a shocked face. Another child from Anna?"

Margaret nodded and sighed 'She might be with Child again, Charles...another Child.' She said and she looked down and imagined her own Child, she rubbed her stomach as to what it would feel like to have on inside her. She sighed knowing it would never come true.

"Charles frowned and looked around room with astonishment. He didn't know what to say. Then he stood up from tub and got off from it"

How...how do you know that? Who told you such thing?

"He just could hardly ask, wrapping a blanket around his waist"

Margaret raised an eyebrow 'I was in the room, when she fainted Charles' She said with another sigh and she closed her eyes.

"He leaned his hand against the wall and looked astonished at her"

She...fainted? And you were with her? Why you went to her, Margaret?

"He asked, still confused"

Margaret let the sponge drop out of her hand and splash in the water and looked at Charles with fury in her eyes 'I simply went to her, to tell her to let you and Nan be. But now she can't, she might be carrying another one of your..Bastards' She said.

"Charles was surprised and touched at the same time. Margaret did all this...because of her love for him. He took a deep breath and came closer the tub"

Margaret...I'm sorry. I...I didn't want to hurt you further. Believe me...I beg you...

"He whispered, kneeling on one knee next to her"

Margaret picked up the sponge again and let the water sprinkle down her arms 'You have not hurt me physically, but emotionally. Be with her Charles, you love her' She said.

"Charles grabbed her hand in the water and tried to catch her eyes"

No, Margaret...I won't be with her. You're my wife. And I love you...

"He added almost whispering. He was breathing fastly because of her agitation. He feared she could feel bad and hold her cheek in his hand"

Margaret looked at Charles 'Yet you love her more than what you love your, wife' She said whilst looking at him, she breathed in deeply 'I will not change my mind Charles.' She said whilst looking away.

"Charles stared silently at her. He hated himself for hurting her again. Especially now. Then he leaned on her and met his lips with hers. He kept on kissing her hungrily, closing his eyes"

Margaret pushed Charles away and got up and wrapped linen around her before looking at Charles 'Don't even try that, Your Grace.' She said.

"Charles stepped back surprised, and stood up too"

Margaret...please. Forgive me. I know you have all reasons to blame me. But I love you...

"He could hardly whisperer, trying to approach her again"

Margaret shook her head 'I cannot even kiss you, knowing that your lips have touched another whores.' She said and she took a deep breath 'I am the Queen's sister, yet i am being treated as a commoner' She said as her wet curls hung down her shoulders and back.

"Charles shook his head, hoping to calm her down"

Oh no...how can you say that? I never forgot who you are. I made many mistakes...it's true. But please, give me the opportunity to show you my love. To my wife...

"He added proudly. Then he grabbed her waist and pulled her towards himself. The blanket around her body fell down on the floor"

Margaret shook her head 'Charles, no.' She stated firmly, 'You can have your mistresses as for you have scarred our marriage enough for me even to be a little surprised' She said.

"Charles sighed and kissed softly her forehead"

I know...I know I don't deserve you. But please...don't ruin this moment. You're here...in my arms. Other women are nothing to me...

"He whispered, caressing her wet hairs"

Margaret pushed Charles away with all the strength she had left in her body 'Other women is what you live for, Charles.' She said and she turned to leave 'Also. I am going to tell Henry, about my illness, before it is to late' She said.

"Charles looked shocked at her and reached her with quick steps"

Oh no...don't do that. I'll tell him. If...necessary. I need your forgiveness, Margaret...

"He added, trying to catch her hand with his"

Margaret looked at Charles 'You have my forgiveness, but not my love' She said and she left the room.
