Welcome banquet to the King and soon-to-be Queen of Bavaria

I hear chatter and then realise it is Anne Boleyn walking in-she has more ladies and grandeur than The Queen Katherine ever did. She wears a gown finely made -you can tell that immediately- and a crown intricately designed and elaborate. It was not just a gown or a crown-it was a statement. A powerful one. A statement that she would soon be our Queen.

I reluctantly curtsey as she walks by us but stay quiet. I grudge curtseying to her-she was not meant to be Queen. What will happen to Katherine now? I glance up and notice she looks at me and I look back boldly. She really does have the most piercing eyes.

I wonder if she will speak to me? Does she know that I am Edward's sister?

Felicity saw a woman walk in, she looked like a Queen, so thinking she was she got up and curtsied and waited for her to walk past before standing up, she had heard little from his majesties great matter, she though Katherine was still Queen, looking around she raised an eyebrow confused a little before taking another sip from her goblet and looking around.

"Your Majesty!"

"Majesties!"

Nan shrugged after Elizabeth question and didnt know what to say. According to things Anne told Nan Wolsey was nothing but a liar. She was not sure to tell all details to Elizabeth, not yet. "I dont feel like Wolsey wants to help Anne. I never thought that he's against Katherine. He says he's looking for evidences to prove that marriage is invalid but it seems he's just delaying, i think." she said and suddenly everyone made way. Nan thought Queen Katherine finally arrived. She looked at the door but it was Anne. Nan grinned , confused. She waited her to curtsey kings and queen in front of royal table. She saw how Henry was looking at her with desire. King and Queen of Bavaria were also seemed impressive but Queen Eleanor was a little bit confused. She looked back Elizabeth "Wait, i'll be right back in a minute" She said and walked trough Anne. She bowed deeply and giggled "Your maj- I mean my lady Anne" she said whispering and looked around. "You look like a queen Anne, what are you doing?" She asked curiously.

Eleanor was watching around silently, drinking from her wine. Henry and Richard were talking about the kingdoms. This conversation was not for her. She saw her lady Felicity was looking at somewhere with a confused expression "What is it Felicity?" she asked and looked at the place which Felicity has been looking. A young woman was walking towards their table with slow steps and everyone was bowing deeply her. She was wearing a crown. Really big one, like a queen. She couldnt be Katherine could she? As she heard Katherine was much older one. She wondered who she was. The woman finally stopped and curtseyed them all deeply. Eleanor tried to smile and bowed her head. After she passed Eleanor looked at Richard and King curiously.

Jane walked in with her hands clasped at the front of her dress, she wondered were Queen Katherine was, when Anne walked in, she curtsied and stood back up and went over and got a goblet of wine and took a sip from it. She took a small look around and caught glimpse of Nan and gave her a smile, and she took another sip from her goblet and took another look around.

Felicity looked at Eleanor 'She is not Queen Katherine..she could not be...unless Katherines looks have got younger' she said and she looked back at the Lady with an confused expression again and took another sip from her Wine then she looked at Eleanor 'My Lady..do you not find this exciting? she asked.

Anne smiled at Eleanor and Richard and she turned to Nan

"That's what I want Nan.Everyone must know me! I'm the King's woman!"

Eleanor was looking around confused. She looked back Felicity and smiled "No, no i'm fine. she tried to smile and drank from her wine. "Why dont you go and dance with others. You dont have to sit here with me all night. I'm the queen. I'm the one who should get bored" she said smiling warmly.

"Hush.." Nan pulled her to table slowly and looked at her confused "Already? His marriage is still valid Anne. You're having so much attention, you see?" she said and glanced at everyone who's looking at them. "Come i'll introduce you someone" Nan walked toward Elizabeth with Anne and smiled at her. "Anne, have you met with Elizabeth?"

Anne looked at Elizabeth carefully

"Lady Elizabeth? Hello!"

She smiled sincerely

As Nan brings Anne Boleyn over I gulp-I didn't imagine this would happen. I brush my hands against my dress and sink into a shallow curtsey,"Lady Anne,"I whisper with my eyes fixed on her. I curtsey befitting her station and nothing more-she is not queen yet...

I gently rise and sip my goblet.

Felicity smiled a little 'I think i would rather prepare to sit here, My lady, as for i do not know much people here...the English court is much different than the Bavarian Court' she said.

"I have seen you before but forgive me I could not remember you very well.I remember that you are a viscountess, right?"

"Charles walked inside Hall. He still felt a bit tired and needed to stay alone. But he heard that King and Queen of Bavaria were at court, and he couldn't avoid to welcome them. As he entered, he noticed that everyone was there. The King, Nan...even Anne. He looked at her with a fake smile on his face. She was acting like a Queen, while she was not! But since he was still allied with her father, Thomas Boleyn, he bowed at her. He tried to be kind and approached silently royal table. The future bavarian Queen was very beautiful, even if a bit shy. He bowed deeply at them"

Your Majesty...

Amanda walked into the hall wearing a deep red gown, she looked around and saw Nan and smiled and walked over to her 'Nan!' she said with a grin, and she looked around and saw Anne Boleyn, she looked like a Queen..she sighed and curtsied to Anne before looking upon the new Bavarian Queen then to Nan with a smile.

I nod,"Yes-Viscountess of Windsor. Forgive me for I have never seen or spoken with you before...although I have heard of you,"I say smoothly.

Anne was looking at Henry sometimes with a smile on her face

"We met officially now.Nice to meet you Lady Elizabeth"

I bob another shallow curtsey with a faint smile,"Perhaps you have not been made aware...I am to be your lady in waiting...my lady. My brother secured the place for me."

Richard greeted Henry with a smile and bowed with his head

I'm honoured of being here, Henry. The alliance between our countries is very precious to me. Also, I bring you my deep condolences for your recent loss...

He said kindly. He noticed that the Queen was not there with him. But, at her place, a young and beautiful lady entered. She must be lady Boleyn, whom everyone talked about, even in Bavaria. He bowed with his head as she came closer to them

My lady...I'm very glad to meet you personally...

Richard looked at Eleanor after greeting Anne. She looked surprised. Then he nodded kindly at the Duke of Suffolk and sat slowly with her

She must be lady Boleyn, my darling. King's official mistress...

He whispered in Eleanor's ear, glancing at Anne

Margaret entered in the Great Hall looking shyly around. She wanted to see King and Queen of Bavaria. She had no title to greet them, she was just a common lady in waiting. So she sat silently at a table and kept on watching them. King Richard was very handsome. And Queen Eleanor was very different from Queen Katherine. She was young and pretty, and her husband looked so in love with her. She sighed and took a glass of wine while looking around

Henry nodded gratefully after Richard's words and smiled kindly at Eleanor. He almost envyed him because of his happy marriage. While himself... he had to fight against Pope to live happily with his Anne! He sat next to Richard and looked at Anne, wearing her magnificient crown, his gift. He felt proud noticing that everyone were looking at her. After taking a sip from wine, he noticed Nan talking with a blonde lady. He nodded and smiled gently at them

Noticing that Eleanor was not surrounded from people in that moment, Inigo came closer and hugged her gently

Cousin Eleanor, I'm so happy to see you in good health. I'm here for...Katherine, as you can imagine. Hope you and the King will remain in England for a while...

He added with an happy smile

Catherine walked into the hall with slow steps, she was wearing a creme dress. She nodded her head to a few people before going over and lifting a goblet of wine, and looking at its contents and taking a sip of it, she caught eye of Charles and smiled at him before nodding her head.

"Charles noticed his pupil Catherine walking inside all. He interrupted their lessons because of Margaret's sudden death. So he decided to apologize. He walked towards her and bowed"

Lady Catherine...I'd like to apologize for having interrupted our lessons. But you know...

"He tried to explain, showing a kind smile"
