The Parr Girl | Henry VIII

Chapter 10

Margaret and another servant were arranging the queen's cutlery when Jane ran into the kitchen.

-Ladys! Run quickly to Queen Anne's room!.

Both ladies saw each other and without thinking they got up to run to the queen's room, while Margaret ran to the room and heard Anne's screams of pain.

-Everything is going to be fine, your majesty, stay calm.

She said one of the ladys as she held Anne's hand, this was the first thing Margaret saw, Anne writhing in pain while she seemed to be in labor.

-A-aah!.

Anne complained of pain, while all her lads did what they could, it was the afternoon and the royal doctor simply did not arrive, Margaret was bringing her clean towels, while she was drying the queen's sweat, the screams filled the entire castle, and while the ladys were trying to help their queen, blood began to drip down their legs.

-N-oo! This can't be happening!.

Anne screamed, torn with pain, while deep down she knew perfectly well what was happening and unfortunately no one could do anything.

-Your majesty, we need you to push.

Jane said trying to calm the queen.

-N-oo..., it's not the time...

Anne said with tears and pain in her words, but then she had to agree and began to push, the castle was full of screams, crying and all the pain that the queen gave off, when she lost her baby, until the baby finally came out, and indeed he had no life, after all he was gestated for 5 months...

-help me cover it...

She said Jane to Margaret in a whisper and they both cleaned the baby's body and then placed it out of the queen's sight.

-Jane this is not right, you are hiding it from her...

-She can't see it, Margaret, it would be too much..., how sad it was...

Margaret didn't feel it was right to take the baby's body out of her mother's sight but deep down Anne's screams and cries confused her, was it the right thing to do?.

-w-hhy...

She said the queen crying while she hides her face between the pillows,The other ladies limited themselves to cleaning her while they tried to comfort her.

-Ready, i take it outside.

Jane said, positioning herself next to Margaret.

-Where did you take it?.

-I took him to an empty room for now, the king would want to see him, I told one of his advisors what happened, the king should not take long to come...

-i-it just can't be...

The Queen said, crying and sinking into her sadness, Margaret and Jane looked at each other, and they knew what would happen when Henry came..., what he would say to Anne..., It only makes everything more heartbreaking..., It was then when everyone present heard the footsteps coming from outside..., they knew who was coming.

All the ladies looked at each other with pity when they felt the door being opened abruptly..., the king was here and he was not exactly happy...
