It’s the year 1525. There was a grand celebration in whole England because it was their King’s birthday. King Henry VIII. The son of King Henry VII and Elizabeth of York. He is the youngest of his siblings. His public image is frequently depicted as one of a lustful, egotistical and harsh king. Henry was known to be an attractive and charismatic man in his prime, educated and accomplished. Every woman wanted to be his mistress or just to have a night with him.

He was sitting in his throne with his friends Sir Anthony and Sir William and was eyeing all the ladies in the room when his eyes lands on a beautiful brunette women. She was not that beautiful but she has a nice body. Henry called one of his guards and whispered in his ear “Tell that women that is wearing the purple dress to meet me privately” the guard nods and went away to that women and tell her that the king wishes to meet her privately. Understanding what the guard means she makes her way to the king's bedroom. After the party the king went to his bedroom and dismissed all the maid from his room and turned to the brunette women sitting on his bed. As soon as the women saw him she stood up and bowed down.

"What is your name?"

"It's Camilla your majesty"

"Camilla, do you know why you are here?" he was now standing in front of her

"yes your majesty, I know very well why I am here"

The whole night the sounds of moans were coming from the king's bedroom. The guards sitting in front of his bedroom was used to this. This happened every night like a daily routine. And thank the lord that the Queen was not home today although she knows that her husband cheat on her all the time. Catherine of Aragon. She was the widow of king Henry's brother Arthur. After he died and she was married again to his little brother, king Henry VIII.

Next morning the king and queen was sitting in the dining room and having breakfast when the queen suddenly asked "darling are you free this afternoon?"

"why sweetheart do you need something?"

"yes actually I wanted to go to see this opera that is being held in the royal opera house. The show is also held by one of my dearest friend and they have invited us. They will be very happy if we go there"

"But sweetheart don't you know I dislike opera and why don't you go alone"

"Please the will be delighted if you go there with me"

"Alright I will go with you"

"Thank you dear" she smiles at him and they continue eat their breakfast

That night the queen was getting ready to see the opera. She was happy because today after a long time she was going to meet her dearest friend after a long. When she was ready she walked down the grand staircase of the castle with her maids in her tow and walked outside to see the King already waiting beside the carriage for her. When he saw her he smiles and put his hand forward so the queen can take it and he helped her to get inside the carriage and he went inside the carriage as well and sat in the  opposite seat from her

"you look happy" the king asked suddenly

"yes dear like I told you earlier I'm going to meet my dearest friend today"

"how do you know him?"

"Well you know when I went to visit my mother and father in Spain we were trapped in a terrible storm and we took shelter in their house. That is how I meet him and his wife. They had two children, one was boy and one was a girl. They welcomed us to their home and gave us such hospitality that I am forever grateful to them. But next morning I found out that his wife died because she had high fever last night. The children were very heart broken so was Benedict but I helped them and from there we are really good friend" She smiles at her husband who was listening to her every word very carefully.

"That was very kind of you sweetheart"

"Thank you"

When they arrive at the opera house everyone in the room stands up and bows down to show respect to the King and Queen of England. They went to sit in their private box that was near the stage so they can see the opera without any problem.

Henry's POV

I was sitting next to Catherine waiting for the opera to finish. But it didn't even started yet. Just then the house filled with the most sweetest voice I have ever heard .
