Thomas looked at Ambassador Chapuys and smiled warmly
Ohh...dear Chapuys! Thank you, Excellency. As I said, I'll do my best to deserve such great honour that His Majesty gave me. I introduce you my wife, lady Alice. Would you join our table?
He asked kindly, showing him an empty chair next to them
Alice smiled kindly to Chapuys, knowing it must be difficult for him to bear witness to such an event where the Boleyns were gaining even more precedence at court. "I am honored to meet you, Excellency." She glanced around the room, inadvertently catching Anne Boleyn's glance. Alice knew the horrible thing that girl had said about Queen Katherine.. that she would rather see her hanged! And that she wished all Spaniards at the bottom of the sea! Wearing a little smile she turned her eyes back to Chapuys. "We are very pleased to have you dine with us!"

Henry arrived with Margaret, her arm linked in his. He looked proudly around the room, seeing that the party had started and everyone was having a wonderful time. He smiled at Margaret. "What shall we do first? Dancing? Drinking? Mingling?" Then he had an idea. "Perhaps we could introduce one another to each other's friends..?" he asked shyly.
Margaret was happy being escorted by Henry. Looking at him made her relax some. "Perhaps we can get a drink and then mingle. I don't see a single friend of mine here yet so maybe I could meet your friends?" She said, hoping he wasnt disappointed her friends hadn't shown up yet.

"Charles noticed his pupil Catherine entering in the Hall. He was still on the Balcony and looked secretely at her. He had absolutely talking with her about what her mother asked him. Lady Maria De Salinas asked him to marry her, in order to save their family from ruin. But she still ignored all this. He sighed, waiting for the best moment to face this subject with her"

'As would I' I said to Ursula genuinely intrigued about this mysterious Richard. At least my fiance was present! 'Yes they are all Seymours' I said pointing vaguely towards the others with my goblet. 'Go and introduce yourself' I said hoping to get Edward to myself.
Ursula drink a gulp of wine. " Your family is very friendly i am happy that you present me. " What you say to the highness table? The Boleyn family is very present at court. I ask me at the time that the King know that Lady Anne have a small affair with the poet Thomas Whyatt. I don`t believe that she is a virgin." Ursula take again of a gulp.
When asked about my feelings toward the Boleyn family, my first act is to fake a polite smile, glance approvingly at the table where the wretched family is seated, and give an approving nod. "I think it is no secret I am not a supporter of Lady Anne. She, and her entire family, are upstarts. They have ambition surely, they have that in spades. But I do not think Anne possesses the humility that comes with being the object of desire of the King of England. She does not play it safe enough. Yes she kept him waiting all these years, but who is to say that once he has her he will not think she is like any other female? Men love to pursue, and once the prey is caught, the fun is over. We only want what we cannot have." I looked off into the distance. "Be assured, these are two restless souls who wants what the other has to offer. Mark my words: nothing good can come of it. For if we are merry now, who is to say how we shall be in a years' time? Two years? More?"

She look at him attentively, curious about Mary's future husband, then she turn to her friend, listening to her, wondering if she mean something in particular about hard time, then she nodd and smile.
Indeed a party at court can make forget all your worryings, problems and pains and enjoy fully your time here. I do hope that you do enjoy it ?
She turn to the king with her friend Anne, smiling softly in seeing the tender gestures of love between them and can read the happiness and emotion on her face.

It was a little too sweet for him, but nothing could spoil this night with such a beautiful woman as Margaret Sheldon. He was able to tear his glance away from her so he could see around the room, searching for his friends. The only available one he saw was Francis Bryan, and he wasn't so sure he wanted Margaret to meet him; he seemed the most womanizing out of all the men in the privy chamber. "His Majesty held a hunt for his gentlemen, and allow me to brag that I killed a deer, a great big stag. I was the only one to catch one." He said this with pride, hoping Margaret would not think it was terrible; some women were sensitive towards animals.

I scrutinized what Lady Ursula had said about Anne Boleyn. "My lady, did I hear correctly? You claim that Lady Anne is not a virgin? That she has had an affair with Thomas Wyatt?" I could not hide the incredulity in my voice, but all the same I could believe it of that woman. She had a practiced grace, a practiced smile, a practiced way with words. Indeed she was artifice personified.
As my fiancee Anne said she would be going to see others I held back from having her remain with me. I decided she could have a little freedom for now, and I would keep a watch on her. Whatever anyone said or did I would make i known that she was mine.

This Lady´s are so gossips.And i have hear that Thomas Wyatt often was at Hever Castle to visit ´Lady Anne.And ago few month she says to him that he will never come back to her. And when he will not lost his life he say never that they known another."
Ursula look that Edward was a little bit shocked.
" Edward i say it you ,this woman and her family is a danger for this Kingdom."
Ursula witness Anne out of corner of her eye,she saw that Anne tease Edward.

Eustace smiled warmly, took Alice's hand and kissed it gently. The honor is all mine, missis More... thank you, I would like to join you. He sat down next to sir Thomas and a servant handed him a goblet of wine. Your husband and I met several times, I admire him deeply and so does the Emperor. You must be very proud of him, I guess. he said while he looked at them alternately. I look forward to doing business with you, sir More. he smiled kindly.
He looked curiously around. It has been a while since I have visited English court, I see many changes. he said thoughtful and sipped his wine.

And, she smiled happily as she saw her youngest daughter.....Anne. She was so very, very happy for her daughter.....but sad at the same time.
Standing by her mother's side as she adress to Mary, Olympe look around and percieve her grandmother Elizabeth, she smile, come closer to her, tug at her dress for to get her attention.

Elizabeth felt a pair of small arms wrap around her, and she looked down, and smiled. It was her little Olympe. Oh, how sweet! She loved this little girl. Elizabeth gently picked her up, and placed her on her lap. "How are you, my sweet girl," she said, happily as she nuzzled her.

Bridget sat by herself, and just took a long sip of her ale. She was so incredibly bored. No one was speaking to her. And, worse of all......her stepmother had found her. Slowly she lifted her goblet, and took another long swig...... Was this ever going to end?! Had she not suffered enough?! Of course she hasn't! God just loves seeing her miserable. Everyone loves seeing her miserable. Oh, what was she thinking?! Bridget had to relax....but it was hard. It was hard. With that she sighed softly, and looked out at the people chatting & gossiping.

"Do they really have to show off like that? Really it is quite annoying," she whispered, so only her husband could hear her. Elizabeth picked up her goblet, and took a sip of it, and then put it down. This was going to be a long night.

Nan silently watched around while she was taking sips from her wine. It was really cold outside but she was getting warmer here. She noticed how much new faces around since she's gone. She tried to recognize them but it was obvious they have just come to court. She saw some Seymour family members. She could see the unpleasent expression on Anne's face when she saw Seymours. She glanced them quickly and kept on listening music with her wine.
