Rose Garden

"Are you usually in court?"I ask, she seems even younger than me-she should at least have a maid or some sort of chaperon with her

yes, am princess Cordelia, I been here on and off my whole like looking at here

I raise my brows and suppress my instinctual urges to laugh at how casually she calls herself 'princess'. None of family think that she is really His Majesty's daughter-she simply possesses luck and an opportunistic mother.
I simply nod politely in reply to her statement.

so let me guess your new at court then you must be a new lady for the Lady Anne seeing her reaction I knew that she was working for Thomas

"Not so new. I have been in attendance since I was sixteen however only now have I become a resident in His Majesty's court,"I reply with kindness.

Smiles it is not bad here I do love being here as am close to my family and my friends, I am sure you will make new friends easy enough

I nod upon her talking of family-I can only assume her mother is here,"Oh yes, there are several kind people here. Especially The Boleyns who have quite looked after me since my arrival."

well my lady I wish you the best, but my heart and loyalty belong to the Queen I do now I will also stand by his Majesty not like calling him father in front off people apart from my family,

I shrug,"To stand by His Majesty is to support His Majesty, thus it is our duty to conform to His Majesty's matter."

"It is not my place to judge, His Majesty,"I retort,"I am merely a loyal servant and shall not question my sovereign lord...and yours."

I frown in confusing at her words,"I am what?"

right my lady

(Sorry must have missed that off)

I nod a little, still unsure as to what she is saying...

Smiles nervously please forgive me if I seem rude but my world is crumbling around me I say looking away as my eyes fill up with tears

I instinctively place my hand on her arm,"Hush, my lady. What is the mater?"

I shrug a little with a curt smile. I won't discuss my affairs with her, it wouldn't be seemly,"I cannot say so."

I nod although I do know the pains of unrequited love,"Alas you are a...well enough born lady, your marriage will be arranged. It is something you should accept."

"Women are free with their hearts but bound by duty...you should know that,"I say politely.

yes I know that and we have a duty when we are married even through it is not with the right person

I shrug,"Alack, you must accept you are a woman and have no choice. You should try to attract a profitable suitor and love will ensue."
