Elena sat on the edge of the cliffs in-front of Whitehall castle.
Even when she was a child she loved the sound of the ocean,she made a promise to herald that when she grew up she would have an estate near the ocean.
Often times the noise of the waves helped her drift into sleep.
"Bookworm..."
"Your grace-"
She responded,keeping her eyes on the water.
"-you know my name now,you needn't call me bookworm"
"Mm I think it suits you"
Charle expressed as he sat next to her on the cliff side.
"How so?"
"Well every time I see you,you seem to have a book in your hand"
She chuckled
"You say that like reading is a bad thing,your grace"
"Well I did not mean it like that"
He said sincerely
A few more moments of silence passed before a spoke again
"Do you like the ocean Bookworm?"
A loving smile graced her
"I adore it,your grace"
"What about it?"
"Everything,the sounds,how beautiful it looks...even the smell"
They both looked out toward the ocean and just sat.
In silence.
In peace

"Elena!"
Anne called out
"Yes?"
"I need to make myself more desirable to his majesty,how should I do so? Seduce him,maybe lower the front of my dress. He gave me jewels too,should I write and thank you note?"
Anne raved
"No.Give the jewels back and just as I said,act timid,act like you believe you are unworthy of his affections"
"I shall also go back to our family home in Hever,I shall make him miss me"
"I wish you luck sister"
Elena smiled as Anne gave a cunning laugh and walked away

Elena stood next to the queen's throne at the jousting tournament.
"Your favours,Bookworm?"
Charles asked as he put his joust out toward her
She simply smiled and undid the fabric on her wrist,tying it on the joust.
"I Thank you,Bookworm!"
As he rode it to joust lance
The flag was waved and Charles knocked lance of his horse
"POINT TO THE DUKE OF SUFFOLK"
Elena clapped to his victory as he bowed his head when he rode passed her.
Next was the king and Anthony.
Though the king had forgotten his visor.
Everything was yelling "hold" but the men on their horses didn't ear.
The king was hit on the head.
Everyone rushed to him.
Elena escorted the queen to the kings side where thankfully he was not hurt.
"Do not fret,my lady,I indent to ride again to prove to everyone here that I am healthy,well and unharmed"
As Elena and the queen went back to their seats Catherine looked at Elena.
"Thank Lady Boleyn,you were much help to me back there"
"Of course,your majesty"
They shared a sweet smile and then turned back to the jousting king
Guilt guilt guilt...

Anne was back at court and they were all at a banquet for the evening.
Anne was dancing with a man in the middle of the room and Elena was watching the clock.
Her father told her that she was not allowed to bring one to this event and that she should go socialise,she of course wanted to jump off a cliff at that point.
"No book with you today"
Charles approached her
She only gave him a glare
"Wooow some ones made you angry,care for a dance"
"Not really"
She sassed
"Not a dancer I'm guessing"
"You would guess correct"
"You hate it here don't you?"
He teased with a smile to which she gave a flat look that screamed
Shut up
"I'm not good with people"
"Yeah I guessed...one dance?"
That glare again.
"Just one?"
He almost begged
"One,then I leaving"
A gave her a bright smile and they entered the dance floor and while so she almost didn't realise that she want miserable.
She was having fun,dancing
Dancing with him.
And during that one dance they never took their eyes off of each other,not even when it ended.
