Eternal Flame

Rebellion-1528

          I came to court wearing a French purple dress with gold palm leaves, scattered all over the bodice. It was a gift from the King. I wore it to court today, to see the reactions of everyone, and to please the King, to let him know I cherish his gifts.
         I strolled through court gracefully and elegantly, smirking at everyone whose eyes were filled with disgust.       
        Whispers and murmurs echoed and ringed throughout the room. "How was she able to get that dress?", "Only royalty can wear that!", "What a whore!"
         The two ladies of Queen Katherine approached me. One of them spoke. She was of my stature with long curly dark hair, though she had pale skin and a face shaped like a heart, and eyes the color of blueberries. "Miss Boleyn."
"Yes?"
"Why are you wearing a purple and gold dress? Those colors are only to be worn by royalty and you are not royal, you are just a servant. Like us."
I smiled smugly. "I do not see the reason why I should not wear this. I wear what pleases me."
She scoffed. "I will tell the Queen of this. She will be very angry."
I laughed. "You know, I sometimes wish that all Spaniards were at the bottom of the sea."
        Gasps echoed throughout the room. Everyone at court were shocked by my words. The other lady, taller than the lady who just spoke, had straight dark golden brown hair and eyes the color of the sky that sat on top of a pale round face. "Mistress Boleyn, you should not abuse the queen's honor with such language."
I smirked. "I care nothing for Katherine. I would rather see her hanged than acknowledge her as my mistress."        
       I walk away, hearing the gasps of every wide-eyed person at court. I could feel them staring at me in disgust. I care not and left a smug smile on my face as I walked until I greeted the King.
