The death of the bandit laid heavy on the young girls heart, she felt that she had ruined a family. But that was it, she couldn't dwell on it because he was ready to kill as well. She knew that in the depths of her soul she would always dwell on this, she couldn't help it. Her hands were stained in the mans blood, her dress that was once pure white was now stained red, she tried desperately to wipe the blood of her hands. She knew that the blood on her hands would always be there in her mind. She realised that this probably wont be the last person she kills, the longer she stays here the longer her soul will be tainted. It dawned on her, the world has always been cruel and unforgiving.
She quickly found her families chambers that they held at the palace, once she did she called for her maids. They all gasped loudly at the blood on her, they all believed that someone had tried to kill her and someone had to save her, they were throughly shocked when they came to learn that it was she who killed the attacker. "Ladies, i may have killed a man but i am still a woman. I still need help to change." She said to them, annoyed the women had yet to help her change out of her bloody dress. The women all gathered around her, some warily, and began to change her out of the bloody clothing. They preprepared a bath and washed her, Kat had to admit it was extremely strange to have people tending to her like this but at least she could actually put a dress on right for once.
Kat picked out a dress that one would not wear in Tudor court, not that Kat actually cared as it made her stand out and look stunning. As she dressed the women gave her look of admiration, envy and disgust for being different. They all rushed to start her hair when Kat stopped them "I can do my own hair ladies, you are dismissed." The women gave another look of disbelief but bowed anyway and quickly left the strange woman. Kat put a few braids in her hair, but left it flowing something that was not done in this court. Yet she didn't care what other people thought of her, I mean she came from 2017 and this type of thing didn't matter. Hopefully she would get back soon, because she could feel herself want to stay In this time period.
She stood up and whipped her hands on the dress, still feeling the blood on her hands. She wanted to find out what happened with the bandits, she had too. So with a small sigh the woman opened her apartment doors, noticing the way people looked at her with shock. She held her head high and headed to the king's thrown room.
The two guards, the ones from earlier,looked down at the young girl. You could clearly see the lust in their eyes, now she was not covered in blood they wanted to ravish her. But she glared at the men. "I'm here to see the king." She said, her voice held such dominance and confidence that the two men opened up the door. Where the king and Lady Anne were sat in the throwns.
"Your Majesty, lady Anne" she said as she bowed deeply, her voice sent chills through Henry. Anne noticed Henry's eyes ravishing Lady Katarina's body.
"Lady Katarina, I see you've... Cleaned up." Anne said teasingly, she hated that this woman managed to protect herself. It made every woman envious of her.
"Indeed, although my ladies were mildly scared of me. I wanted to ask you, your highness, what happened with the bandits?" She questioned, her eyebrows pulled up ever so slightly.
"My men dealt with them, with minimal injuries to us." He said, a smirk on his face. Proud of their achievement.
"Brilliant." Katarina smiled, "thank you your majesty, now I would like to look around. With your permission of course?"
"I shall accompany you, as My dear Anne wanted to meet with her brother." Henry said, which made Katarina's heart flutter. Anne became enraged, but she smiled at the too.
"What a wonderful idea my love." She said, not knowing how she just sent Henry into Katarina's arms with a warm smile.
