The White Queen: Pawn

The Storm

Tower Of London 

No one POV 

Matilda was walking around the cells, Matilda kept walking up the stairs and she looked through all the doors. 

Elizabeth walked up and said "Matilda? What are you doing?" and Matilda turned around and looked nervous. 

Elizabeth walked up and said "You do not need to worry about Mad King Henry, He can't get out of there." 

Matilda looked down and kept looking down and Elizabeth bent down in front of her and said "Your not looking for him, are you." 

Matilda said "I thought my mother would be here" and Elizabeth sighed and said "I know it's complicated, and she's your mother, but your father, Edward" and Matilda said "My step father turned against him, not my mother." 

Richard walked up and said "Matilda." 

Matilda turned around and said "Where are we going?" and Richard said "The Talbots have offered to support us, and we have to come, Because of what your step father did, You need to come with me. Come on." 

Matilda said "Will he release my mother" and Richard said "That is up to the King, your Father." 

Matilda looked over at Elizabeth and Richard. 

Matilda looked down and said "Please, Uncle Richard, could you help me?". 

Warwick Castle 

Edward slammed his hand on the table and said ""Advise me", Warwick? Not lock me up or take away my throne, but, no, you would "advise me"?!". 

Warwick said "Edward, the council feels..."and Edward said "No, it doesn't! The council feels nothing but what you tell it, and you will turn them against me". 

Warwick said "Edward, all we ask is that you take back your old advisors and dismiss the Rivers family." 

Edward said "Which you know I will never do! So, the game is that you make demands on me you know I cannot agree to, and use that as your excuse to keep me here while George rules in my place! But really, you rule through him". 

Warwick said "Edward! The loyalty that we had to..." and Edward said "No! I am "Your Grace" to you, cousin! The Lord's anointed king and ruler of this kingdom!" and Warwick said "And Your Grace needs to understand that this is a betrayal and that the Queen's family...". 

Edward said "Are loyal to me! Which is more than can be said for you and George. Now, where is the Queen because if you have harmed a single hair upon her head..." and Warwick said " She would have likely sent the Devil down upon me! But she is barricaded in the Tower. Along with Lady Matilda." 

Edward said "Now that, dear cousin, is treason! As is this. But, if I must hold court at Warwick Castle," and he sat down on the chair and put his feet on the table and said "then you may bring me some venison and some small ale so I may eat at your expense as I run my kingdom! Is that clear to you? Yes, and bring me brother George as I have words to say to him." 

Isabel and Anne went to go in to get the dog out and Edward looked over and got up and said " Brother George's new wife, Isabel, married without my consent. I do hope you're not expecting loyalty from him!". 

Warwick said "Will you get them in there! Go, go!"  and Isabel and Anne walked out. 

Outside of the Room 

Warwick and Countess Anne walked up to Isabel and Anne. Warwick said "She's not bled yet?" and Countess Anne said " She's with child." 

Warwick said "A wedding night child shows we have God's blessing. Is it a boy?" and Isabel said "I... How would I know, Father?".
