Mary Tudor's First Love

His letter

August 12, 1544

I just received a letter from Duke Philip something I didn't think that I will get since he left England 1 year ago from now there are times that I am still broken hearted but I just forget it, I heard that he is marrying my cousin Catherine of Portugal my mother's niece her mother was the one and only Joanna of Castile my aunt we never met before I remember my mother showing me her picture which I find it very odd my aunt Joanna visit in here when I was younger she gave me a necklace that until now I still have it, I just forgot that I have to read his letter his last letter.

Dear Princess Mary,

I have been so distant to you lately but do not worry I never forget about you when I got here back from England my brother is already planning a marriage between me and Catherine of Portugal I was very upset at the moment he only do that just to make me forget about you, I knew when you find out about this you will be very upset however I didn't agree to that marriage i notice since Catherine and I are not in common she is Catholic and I'm a Lutheran I feel like I just repeat what you have said before.

It was never my intention to marry again ever since we got almost betrothed I was happy and I cherish every moment of it you are all I ever wanted and I truly appreciate you no one else but you princess.

I hope one day you soon find your true love I hope he makes you happy like i use to make you smile everyday.

Yours truly?

Duke Philip

I just fold the paper and I just went straight to my chamber I just cry privately I truly missed him so much it makes my heart die that he won't be here with me for the rest of my life only god knows when am I going to see him again I knew his love for me is very unbreakable and nothing can compare to it.

He is the Prince that I know who never give up his love for me and surely he is a perfect devoted husband for me unfortunately my father had to ruined it, like the way he did to my mother just to marry Anne Boleyn I have never been so happy for my life until he came to me I feel like god send me a blessing and I never knew that my blessing would be gone I thought it was forever until I realize there is no such thing as forever the only forever I know is heaven I bet Philip and I might met each other in God's Palace and I'm surely that we are together forever. Till death do us apart.
