Falling for Henry.

Boxing the King?

I have been at White Palace for nearly 2 months and I am still getting lost...
Guarding the king is worst then babysitting!

He is always going horse back riding and hunting and sleeping around, since I am his personal guard I get to fucking watch the damn door! I swear he is like a teenage boy!
Then he is always making passes at me and to all the women in court, even though he is married to his first wife Queen Catherine, she is with child at the moment and if I remember my history right it is Mary.

I would not mind the horse back riding but I really don't understand how to work a horse...
I have been faking it...I am not sure how long I can fake this shit.

So here I am faking knowing what the hell I am doing, the King hasn't seemed to notice yet so that buys me some time. I am worried about being thrown in the tower then being beheaded.
I haven't even been here long and there has been a number of people sent to the tower and beheaded, I can always try to time jump but I am not sure where I will end up, I had thought of 1977 Hawaii and I ended up in the 1500s England! So who knows where I would end up! I need to figure this shit out.

I managed to keep my own clothes but I have had to tweek my outfit, I turned my T inside out so people would stop asking whom this man of iron is, and I was able to get a awesome red leather jacket with sliver buttons.

Every day it is the same thing I wake up in my room that is ok sized it has a 4 posted queen sized feather bed and a cool canopy that has black fabric and the comforter is a deep green, there is also a armoire made of Oak and a nice window and a fireplace.
The room actually joins the Kings living room, at least that is what I think it is? It's not his bedroom but it is joined with his bedroom by a door and there is a fireplace and some chairs.

He said that it would make it easier for me to protect him if I can hear him yell, what bullshit, if I recall he was a real manly man that could handle anything.

I roll out of bed and slip my clothes on and my combat boots and new awesome jacket, I grab the sword that the king gave me since mine broke in a fight with some robbers, well I had to make something up, I strap it to my waist and walk into the Kings room to see if he is awake.

He is not in the living room or whatever it is called here, so I go to his bedroom door and knock.
No answer, so I knock again, still nothing so I open the door and walk in.
He is laying in bed with his face in the pillows, he has no shirt on.

'Man I hope he is wearing pants.'

I walk to the bed and try to wake him;

"Hey. Hey, king! Wake up." I whisper.

"Yo! Yo! King Henry! Wake up!" I say louder and start to poke his back.

"Wake! Up!!" I say shaking him.
He grabs my hand and pulls me into the bed with him and some how my upper body ends up under him and he is looking in my eyes with fire in his.
"Do all personal guards in your land talk to their King like some pirate?"
He says holding both my hands in one of his. "Umm I don't know, we don't have any." I said

"What? A land with no king!?!"

"Yeah we have no kings." To avoid explaining what a President is I decided to go with when the Native Americans only had the land.

"What kind of land is it that you are from fair maiden?" He says leaning in.

"It is a land of wild men that are more civilized then any English man, and the land is owned by no one."

"Then what bought you here."

"I was thrown in this land by chance and I have just been traveling and fighting for a living."

"What kind of fighting?"

"Just fist fights." At me saying this he let go of me and gets up.

'Aannd- he is not wearing pants.'

I turn my head away and look at the floor, he puts pants on and walks up to the bed then leans on the post.

"I want you to fight me."

"What?"

"You heard me I want you to fight me."

"Why?"

"I want to see your skill."

"Well fine, I guess.."

I jumped off the bed and walked out the door and lean my back against the wall.

'Me boxing Henry the VIII!?! Just what?'

I breathed out a heavy sigh, he came out of the room dressed in dark clothing, he looked at me and winked.

He started walking and I followed behind him, keeping my eyes on him.
At first I tried to walk in front of him but he said he wanted me to be behind him so I could watch his back, I think he is worried about being stabbed in the back.

He went about his kingly duties and then I followed him to the fencing room;

"This room will have to do."

"For what your highness?"

"For us fighting." He said raising his fist up.

I laughed a little before saying "okay whatever you say." I swing a fist at him hitting right in the jaw, I face him and raised my fist near my face and danced my feet to confuse him on where I was going he took a few swings at me that I duck from and dance my feet how You do in boxing.

"Fox stop moving so much and fight me." He says as he try's punching me. I only smirk at him as I upper cut him

"Float like a butterfly and sting like a bee." I say as I punch him in the gut
He returns my punch with a punch of his only to my gut.
"Indeed."
At this point I remembered how he is crazy and if he loses and gets angry then bad things could happen to me.

I let him punch me a few more times then I fell to the floor;
"You win! Your highness, you win."
He got a weird look in his eye then held his hand out to me, I take it and he pulls me up to his chest and looks deep in my eyes like he was looking for something then he said;

"You let me win, if you ever do that again...I will have to punish you."
He pushes me away and started walking to the door, I run my fingers through my short hair breathing hard from the workout.
