-So, your name is Margaret?

Anne asked sitting from her chair, while she placed a hand on her pregnant belly.

-That's right, your majesty, Margaret Parr.

Anne saw her from top to bottom, Margaret was not ugly, in fact she followed several ideals of beauty at that time, pale skin, light brown hair, brushed lips and a thin and delicate body.

-I hope you know how to work like a good lady in waiting, and that you know how to do your tasks correctly, otherwise I will have no choice but to say goodbye.

-Do not worry, your majesty..., I will please you in all possible tasks...

-I certainly don't expect anything less, so you can start with your tasks, today's task will be to take care of your Princess Elizabeth.

-This will be her majesty, if she allows me I will go and take care of the princess.

Margaret bowed to Anne and left for the princess's room. The princess was there along with two maids. Margaret began to serve Elizabeth her milk and dress her, then take her in her arms and take a walk with her.

-Do you know who is that woman?

The minister turned his gaze and saw Margaret.

-She is Lady Margaret, Queen Anne's new lady-in-waiting.

-Lady Margaret!

-The king, our lord, requests her presence in her office, and hopes it will be this afternoon.

Margaret nodded.

-Tell the king that I will arrive as soon as possible.

With this the minister returned inside to tell the king and Margaret too, but she went to leave Elizabeth with the other maids while she began to walk in the direction of the king's office.

-Could you inform the king that Lady Margaret is here to see him?...
