The Queen's Mistress (GirlxGirl)

Whitehall

Anne looked up at the walls of Whitehall palace in amazement, she never believed that when her uncle first told her to pursue the King she would actually become Queen of England. She had grown up with wealth, but never had she been able to live in a place as beautiful as Whitehall and call it hers. She continued to walk taking in the beauty of the building and the grounds she had been staying there near a year but still the palace has yet to bore her.

 She heard the sound of men's voices from the courtyard,  Anne could just see the maroon hat of Thomas Cromwell, she knew that without his help she would never have been in the position she is now. Thomas walked towards her and bowed, he removed his hat as a sign of respect and kissed Anne's hand.

 Anne had started to like the authority she now had over men, she felt a sense of pride as she was probably one of the only women in England with the power to do it.

"What is it Cromwell, why are you disturbing me?" Anne spoke out, making sure to hold Cromwell's eyes.

He looks away and then places his hat back upon his head "My lady the King sends for you, I believe it is important" Anne gives Cromwell a cold glare and turns in the direction of the exit of the rose garden and makes her way in the direction of  her husbands chambers.

—————————————————————————————————————————————————

"Henry is anything the matter, you sent for me?" Anne asked kneeling beside her husband, Henry looked back at her and gave her a quick nod before standing and pushing Anne's hands from his lap. 

"I am fine, I will be visiting Windsor Castle I have a meeting with the French ambassador, you can stay here Cromwell will look after you. In a few month I will call for your presence at Windsor, but for now relax and take care of my son."

"I will Henry soon England will have an heir, you will have an heir" Anne bowed in respect to the King, although she was his wife he was still the king and expected even his wife to submit and respect his titles and laws. 

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Henry had left earlier that day and Anne was sat by her window, she suddenly heard a loud scream and a sort of crashing noise from outside her room, she threw the door open and saw a almighty mess outside, metal plates had been dropped, she looked around for the cause of the uncalled for disturbance,but no-one was there, she could not work out what had caused the noises. 

Until she heard a groaning noise, come from down the stairs, she looked down and was surprised to see her maid Isabelle in a dreadful state slumped on the floor, she must have fallen. 

Anne ran down and tried to help Isabelle she spoke to her softly "Isabelle what happened?" all she got in response was a jumble throw of words, Anne screamed for help. She heard the patter of footsteps from above and was met with the sight of Cromwell before her, he picked the young women up and carried her back up the stairs and along the corridor Anne followed "please let me follow, I need to know she's okay" 

Cromwell turned "I'm sorry your majesty, but that is not possible please may you return to your chambers." Anne sighed and gave a nod in acceptance to Cromwell's ask, and returned to her room for the night.

-----------------------------------------------------

Anne the next morning was given the the news she had been waiting for, news on Isabelle's health, Cromwell sat opposite Anne and gave her a sympathetic look, "I'm sorry Anne, but Isabelle could not be saved we could not stop the bleeding, she was taken by God in the early hours of the morning." 

Anne wept at the loss, she had always been close to Isabelle, even though she was her maid she felt they understood each other and she was overpowered by the sense of sadness at the thought of not being able to go to Isabelle when she needed guidance on decision, she was her only friend at Whitehall the only person she could wholly trust apart from her family.

"My Queen, I am sorry but this does mean that Isabelle position needs to be replaced I will discuss with you who I believe is right for the role tomorrow good day."
