The Queen's Mistress (GirlxGirl)

Windsor bound

It had been two weeks since Isabelle's death, Anne was slowly accepting the fact her dear friend was Gone. She had received the call from Henry to attend court at Windsor in a week. She has received word that she would meet on of her new ladies in waiting when she had arrived at Windsor. Cromwell had given his word to Anne  that he had chosen a lady who was perfect for the role.  Anne would miss Whitehall Palace she had loved everything about it.  It was the palace where she has married Henry and become the Queen Of England, something she and hundred of others girls in the kingdom of England had dreamed of as small girls. 

Anne would miss the security Whitehall gave her, she was more at risk of being attacked by those serving the Pope in Windsor. She knew as soon as she married Henry there would be risk, but an attempt at her life had already been taken and that had shaken Anne up quite a lot, so she took refuge at Whitehall and took comfort in its security and beauty.

The time had come Anne looked at herself in the mirror and gave herself a simple nod, she thought her hair could look a little better, but it was a windy day so there was no point in trying to make it as perfect as possible for it to all fall out. She walked  through the courtyard which led to the brass gate, which had guarded her during her time at the palace.

She watched as the carriage pulled up outside the iron bars, the carriage door was opened and Cromwell exited, he nodded for the guard to open up the gate, as Anne exited she heard Cromwell sigh in distress "Come quickly my Queen we want to be arriving at Windsor by nightfall" Anne gave a quick nod and raised her knee and grabbed the bars of the door she pushed down hoping it would give her enough power to help her enter the carriage without ruining part of her dress. She has been successful Cromwell entered shortly after, she heard the noise of the horses hooves and knew she was now on her way to see the King.

Anne had been trying to look out and see the scenery as they rode out of London although she the task was becoming harder as the glass kept steaming up, the journey would take them longer as Cromwell had decided that in order to stay out of danger we would travel the whole length of London instead of going straight through as he believed it was safer for Anne and his job was to keep Anne and the future heir she was carrying safe. 

Anne smoothed out her dress and placed her hand on the now ever growing bump, she secretly wished for the baby to be a girl but she knew if that happened she could be saying goodbye to her crown. Anne knew Henry wanted a son and his wishes went above everything else, although she wanted a girl it did not mean that if she had a boy she would not love him the same, quite the opposite she would love all her children unconditionally...
