I smiled softly when she spoke about her daughter.

''I am glad to here that you are both well...Oh I agree with you it is better if she stay inside while this cold weather don't pass...Oh thank you,Emilie...

I smiled little sadly.

''There is not so much happy news...Margaret is still very ill,and I don't know how to help her and of top of that my brother decide that is the time for me to marry again...''

I looked at her and asked softly.

''Oh tell me Emilie what is new with you?How is your school?''

Emilie's smile disappear as Mary evocate Margaret, her best friend who have caugh pneumonia, she try to don't think to her the gravity of her state and to don't show her worrying to another people, but recalling of it make rise deep sadness in her.
Her best friend who is like a sister for her, who have accompagny her while all her life here in England, could die, she don't want to admit it, but she can't prevent from thinking to it.
She nodd, a veil of sadness in her eyes, biting her lips.

I know, I have go to see many times her recently, I has been able to see how weak and pale she is ... I have request the better physician, Linacre, in her bedroom for examinate her ... his pronostic hadn't surprise me nor her since her evident symptomes.

She shake her head sadly and add.

It isn't good at all, Mary, I am very worried for her, even if I don't show it and to remain strong for can support her .

She is surprised by Mary's another news.

Your brother have decide to remarry you ?! with whom ?

After her question, she think to all what happened in her life since the last time she saw her, just after she left court for the last time, there has been the encounter between her daughter and her father, George and then he and herself getting together again, then in september the arrival of many new girls in her school and more recently, her daughter's second birthday and the great feat that she did at this occasion.
But, in spite of herself, the thing that take the most of place in her recent memory is the rupture with George, after seven months of love and family life, that have let a injury in her heart that still make her suffer at times when she is alone, mostly at night, then a deep sadness and melancolia invade her, prevent her from sleeping.
But she don't share this secret pain with anybody, in more Mary, as far as she know it, don't know anything of this love she had with him.
In fact, among her friends, only Margaret, Charles have know about it and even them are far from knowing the story in its fullness and George's mother, Elizabeth, only know that Olympe is his daughter, without knowing anything of their story until know at last and nobody else than Elizabeth know exactly about Olympe's paternality.
The air lost in her thoughtfull while all theses memories cross her mind, she smile and tell her.

Ah yes, my school is working well, many new girls arrived in september and from the informations that I recieve regulary from the governess and the teachers, all is going well. I have take a journey here for spend holidays at court for christhmas and new year celebration, I will return there in some time.

She glide locks of her hairs behind her ears under the hood and add.

There isn't very important thing to tell ...

She feel getting happier in thinking again to her daughter and to the good moments that she have spend here at court since the begining of her journey.

My daughter have grow up so much while these last months, she isn't a baby anymore ! And I enjoy my journey here since, aside the great celebrations it have it have allow to see again many good friends and to encounter new ones.

I nooded sadly with tears in my eyes.

''Oh Emilie I am so worried about her,each day she is getting worse and worse,and I can not help her...I don't know what to do,I fear that she will not be better...''

Looking at the ground I said sadly.

''Yes he thinks that it is time for me to remarry and my future husband is Duke Royce Westmoreland,and Cordelia is in love with that man...''

I smiled a little.

''I am glad that your school is doing well...Oh the last time when I saw your daughter she was very little,but I am sure that she is grow up now...''

I asked kindly.

''And did you meet someone interesting in the celebrations?''

Subject: Re: Royal Maze Tue Feb 14, 2012 3:45 pm

Emilie nodd sadly.

I know, I go to see her in her bedroom nearly everyday and she isn't getting better at all, Linacre gave her a mixture of fortifying medicinal herbs to take in infusions three times by day and she do take them, but they don't seem enough efficace for renforce her.

Worried, Emilie shake slighty her head.

He also told that she need to remain warm, to rest a lot and to eat well, each time I see her, she do rest in her bed and seem to do it most of the day, under many covers,, she isn't enough strong for walk a long time anyway and when she get up, it isn't for long and she always wrapped up warmly and though, there isn't amelioration at all !

She sigh.

In more, even if she try, she don't succed in eating as much as she would need to, she have a little appetite ... So I don't really know what I could for help her of more than to hold her compagny, encourage her to eat more and to rest well ... I.

She bite her lips, feeling tears feeling her eyes and add.

I have the terrible feeling that the illness is too strong for her ... though she was so strong and fulll of life before to get ill, for me, Margaret had always been the life itself, I don't even want to think that ... she could lost her fight against pneumania.

Looking at her foots, she fastly wipe her eyes, for don't make her friend feel worse than she must yet feel in showing too much her worrying and fear, then she lift again her head for look at Mary as she tell her about her arranged marriage, a understanding look on her face, she answer her.

Oh, with her loving him, it must complicate a situation that must yet be difficult for you, I guess, after four years as widow to must remarry, without having choice it ... myself I wouldn't like to be in this situation.

She reflect and take a positive tone for comfort her friend.

Your brother must have a good reason for take this decision, certaintly, the Duke Westmoreland is very close to Scottish King from what I heard of him, it must be a matter of alliance with him, and I am sure that he must think that it you will be happy to have a new husband of your age and the possibility to found a family with him.

She smile, thinking to her own situation of still maid and in more single mother and add.

I think that men, even his majesty, your brother, don't really understand us, the women, they imagine us as being all the same, they think that marry a woman forcedly make her happiness, that a husband, many children, especially if they are boys and a good and rich household is a king of magical formula of happiness that work in all of us. They can't imagine that an unmarried woman can be happy, appreciate her independance and don't want to risk to lost it.

She chuckle and look at her with a knowing look, then ask her.

About Cordelia ... is it reciprocal ? is he in love with her love too ? did they secretly project to marry ... I guess that if there was anything of serious, it's would has been knowed around court and your brother woudn't have decide to marry you to him, right ?

She look at her with curiousity.

And what about him ? I guess that the king have inform him too, did you yet encounter each others ? while knowing that you was to be married ? I seen him around court, he is handsome even if not my kind of men ... but I am special ... especially complicate and difficult in this matter.

She giggle and add.

For see the beauty of a man, I need to be in love with him, to feel my heart beating each time I see him, or either I remain insensible to it.

She blush, not used to evocate this matter and fastly add for change of topic.

Anyway, he seem rather nice and courteous, even if looking a bit strange ...

She smile as Mary evocate her school and her daughter, rcalling of how Olympe was while the last journey that she had take at court with her, when Mary seen her.

The last you seen her, she was between one years and, one year and a half old, at time, she was still a baby, did began to tell her first words and hadn't much hairs on her head !

She giggle and add proudly, a tender air on her face.

Now, she can talk like a book, in english as in french, she is now perfectly potty-trained, her hairs are getting long and thick, she have an amazing memory, cleverness and eager to learn, and she began to act as a true little lady !

She giggle again, then her air grow serious as Mary ask her if she have encounter interesting people, she think to the new good friends she made while her journey, her dear cardinal and his mistress Joan and Elizabeth Boleyn, her daughter's paternal grandmother.
But she guess that Mary musn't like any of these people, especially Wolsey couple, whom she is nearly the only one to really like aside Cromwell, and since she don't like to hear talking badly of one of her friends, she think that it's better to don't evocate her new friendship with them, she decide to answer her vaguely without naming them.

[color=violet]Yes I made a few new friends ...[//color]

Then she realize that Mary was maybe meaning amourously, she feel her cheek getting hot as they become scarlet, she is always embarrassed by this kind of topic, she rub the snow with her shoes and answer her.

Oh you meant a men, no, nobody of interesting, of course there is the usual suitors and womanizers all around court, I have send away all of them as usual.

Edward has been away from court for some family bussines. It wasnt gonna be easy to get used to English life after they moved on from Russia with his sister Rebekah. After almost a month he came back to court. It seemed nobody noticed his absence.It was normal. There was almost noone he knew in court as a friend.But he was determined about staying here contrary even his sister didnt want it at all. They have to stay here.

He wanted to have a walk in garden after he had some rest in his chamber. He was wondering where was Rebekah but he could find out that later. After a little walk.

Subject: Re: Royal Maze Tue Feb 14, 2012 6:39 pm

As I walk through the Royal Maze I see a man walk through too. I bow my head respectfully but as he approaches me and gets closer I recognise him-Niklaus!

I smile-does he recognise me?

"Hello My Lord..."

Klaus was deeply lost in his thoughts about England and his sister. Suddenly he heard a voice calling towards him. He blinked for a second and turned his face to her. That lady. He stopped for a moment and after few seconds he could recognize her. A suprised smile came onto his lips and he took a step to her. "Elizabeth!" He said almost whispering.

Subject: Re: Royal Maze Tue Feb 14, 2012 6:45 pm

I curtsy and smile. I am surprised he has returned he just ...disappeared.

"How are you my lord...you have been gone for a very long time..."

I feel myself blush a little in the cold...

Count of Luga Posts : 669 Join date : 2011-11-25

"A long time?" He thought after she said that and raised his eyebrows a bit with a smile. Did she really notice his absence? Probably she was the only one. It was actually kind her to notice his absence. After what happened between them before he left. "Yeah, yeah i'm finally back to..." He couldnt say home. England was not his home. Not yet. "to my new home." He finished his sentence with a out breathe. "How are you.. since.. i'm gone?" He asked kindly.

Subject: Re: Royal Maze Tue Feb 14, 2012 7:00 pm

I smile happily and begin to walk with him through the maze,"Oh I am well...my brother married and it was such a happy occasion. I also began working for the Queen as a lady in waiting...I never thought I would see court as home. Now I...now I see it as a second home..."

I laugh warmly and wrap my slender arms round my cold body...

Count of Luga Posts : 669 Join date : 2011-11-25

Nik was listening her carefully while they were walking among maze walls. He glanced at her for a moment and nodded his head. "Your brother.. Edward right? I'm happy for him. I would ask who's the bride but probably someone i dont know" He stopped for a moment and looked at her again "If we remember you're the only person i know here" he said with a cute smile and kept on walking

Subject: Re: Royal Maze Tue Feb 14, 2012 7:08 pm

I smile thoughtfully,"Yes...well you were the first person I talked to in court. Your absence was noticed...where did you disappear to-did you return home?"

I can feel my fingers get a little cold and I wring them together to try keep them warm. I glance at Niklaus and feel butterflies...

Count of Luga Posts : 669 Join date : 2011-11-25

He looked at the sky for a moment. It was getting dark. Didnt mind and looked at her. He could see she was getting cold. "Some family bussines. I dont think i will be dissappear again for a long time" he said with a nice smile and put out a couple of gloves from his pocket. "I dont know if they fit you well but.." he said with a smile

Subject: Re: Royal Maze Tue Feb 14, 2012 7:18 pm

"Well then I am glad that you are here to stay. I would miss you if you left so quickly again..."

I take the gloves,"Thank you," I say softly as I pull them onto my delicate hands. I then giggle a little as they are quite large on.

Count of Luga Posts : 669 Join date : 2011-11-25

"Miss you?" he repeated inside again. She was really different. Whatever happens she never gave up being nice to him.He looked at gloves and laughed "Wouw looks better on you than me" He took one of her hand and pointed the empty spaces in gloves fingers

Subject: Re: Royal Maze Tue Feb 14, 2012 7:24 pm

I feel my heart flutter a little as he takes my hand, I gently squeeze his and give him a warm look. I did miss him...only now I realise how much.

Count of Luga Posts : 669 Join date : 2011-11-25

Nik watched the way she looked at him. They waited in silence for a moment. There was nothing but their breathes. He could finally smile a bit and brought his other hand to her red cheek.He touched it with his fingertips.

Subject: Re: Royal Maze Tue Feb 14, 2012 7:31 pm

I smile a little and sigh softly as I feel his hand on my face, I bite my lip a little. There is no noise just the sound of the wind rustling through the trees.

I blush but it is barely noticeable as the light fades from the sky.

Count of Luga Posts : 669 Join date : 2011-11-25

Nik had to bow his head to see her face better. He tried to catch her eyes "Are you fine?" he asked quietly. He could feel she was trumbling a bit.

Subject: Re: Royal Maze Tue Feb 14, 2012 7:35 pm

I laugh softly,"I am fine...just a little cold. I...should be getting back to castle,"I glance at the changing sky,"It is getting late."

I then add,"If it pleases you-I'd like to see you again. Perhaps tomorrow?"

Count of Luga Posts : 669 Join date : 2011-11-25

Nik glanced at sky again. She was right. It was getting late. He nodded and pointed way to castle "You're right lets go back" he began to walk towards castle with her. "You can see my anytime you wish."

Subject: Re: Royal Maze Tue Feb 14, 2012 7:40 pm

I smile as we approach the castle. I then take the gloves off and return them to Niklaus,"Thank you..."

I pause for a moment and then go on my tip toes and kiss him lightly on the cheek,"Good night, my lord."

I smile playfully...

Count of Luga Posts : 669 Join date : 2011-11-25

Nik smiled after her kiss and bowed deeply "Have a good night my lady.." he waited her to leave and walked towards his room
