Don't Lose Ur Head

His Majesty's Pleasure

Margaret smiles as she dances with Henry in the dance area of the great hall as Anne dances right beside them with Mark Smeaton the court's new musician. 

Margaret smiles as Henry twirls her around and then catches her in his arms. "You know, you should be resting my love. All this excitement isn't good for the babe". Henry told Margaret who rolled her eyes playfully at him. 

"I already told you the physician said it's fine. All is well with the babe there's nothing to worry about". Margaret replied as Henry twirled her around again and pulled her into his arms closer to his chest. 

"I'll always worry about you and our son". Henry responded as Margaret stared at him in shock. Before she could even think to utter a reply the music stopped causing the two of them to step away from each other and clap for the court musicians who played the music beautifully for all of them.

Later That Night

Anne is in her bedchambers looking at herself in the mirror as she messes with her wine stained lips from the wine that she is currently drinking at the moment. One of Anne's ladies then walks into her chambers with her brother in tow. The lady curtsies to Anne who hasn't noticed her yet as George then pushes past the young woman to walk over to his sister with a worried look upon his face. 

The lady looks at George who nods and she then curtsies to him and takes her leave. George then slowly but cautiously approaches his sister. "Sister?" George questioned. 

Anne then turns around to look at her brother and then does a double take upon recognizing that it's him standing before her. "I couldn't sleep. I'm sorry". Anne apologized as she walked over to him. 

"Why could you not sleep?" George asked her as he now stood in front of her. 

"I was thinking of her". Anne replied. 

"Who?" George asked confused. "Thinking of who?" 

Anne then breaks out of her daze and looks up at her brother. "The Lady Mary, of course. And her mother". Anne takes another sip from her goblet of wine as George stares down at her. 

"Katherine". George said. 

"Yes. Katherine!" Anne exclaimed. "What's wrong with you?" Anne then hit her brother's chest. 

"I don't understand". George said. "What harm can they do you now?"

"Every harm! As long as Mary is alive, she could be Queen. " Anne said. 

"No! No, no!" George said sternly. "The Act of Succession makes it impossible. Elizabeth, your daughter will be made heir to the throne". George told Anne trying to reassure her. 

"But the King can change his mind". Anne responded. "He can do whatever he wills now. He has absolute power. You know that!" Anne moved away from George. "And what he has given, he can take away, and what taken away, he can give back. And he can still make Mary Queen, even about my daughter". Anne said beginning to cry. 

"He's already thinking about putting Margaret's bastard into the succession!" Anne exclaimed. 

"But why should he?" George asked Anne gently. 

"I don't know". Anne replied. "I just fear it". Anne then turned away from George. "This is all I know Mary: that she is my death, and I am hers". Anne said.
