"You lied to me. You have always lied to me". Henry tells her with his back still turned to her as he continues to walk away from her. 

"Have mercy. No". Anne says. 

Henry then turns around in anger to face Anne as he pointed an accusing finger at her. 

"You were not a virgin when you married me". Henry accuses her. "You were not what you seemed. Your father and your brother arranged everything". Henry then turns his back on Anne again as she begins to chase after him once more. 

"No. I loved you..." Anne tells him. She then moves to stand in front of him blocking his way. "and I love you still". Anne says as she clutches onto his chest in a pleading manner. 

"Please after everything we have been to each other

"Please after everything we have been to each other. After everything we were. Please". Henry goes to walk around Anne but she moves further up the steps and continues to block his path as she turns to face him again. "One more chance... One more..." Anne says with pleading in her eyes as Henry looks up at her in anger and then walks up the steps of the garden, "Henry..." Anne pleads but he ignores her and continues to walk away from her. Anne struggles to hold onto her daughter as she adjusts Elizabeth in her arms again and watches Henry's retreating figure walk away from her. "Your Majesty..." Anne calls out her estranged husband who continues to ignore her. Anne lifts up Elizabeth again, "Your Majesty... I beseech you". Anne calls out once more but it's no use. Anne then falls down onto her knees and begins to cry as she holds onto her daughter tightly.
