Henry's anger radiated off him, when he finally looked at the two women he saw the cut on Katarina's face, the blood on her face. "Anne what have you done?" He asked in anger as Katarina broke down in tears.

"My reputation, Anne i get your anger but i have no desire to be with the King." She cried as she whipped the blood of her face.

Anne looked down in regret, "You go near Katarina again Anne and your whole family will lose their head. " Henry spat at Anne making her gasp in fear, and look down. Anne began to cry, she started to say Henry's name but was cut off. "Do not, you address me as your highness!" Henry shouted at Anne. Anne looked down, replying with yes your highness. "Now leave." Henry said deathly monotone.

When she left he placed his hand on Katarina's cheek the one that was not cut. "Don't." She begged, she knew that she was close to breaking. She had finally come to terms with how much she loved the King. "My reputation is ruined, now how am i ever going to marry." She said her voice cracking, she knew she was not getting back to her time.

"Marry me my love, i will look after you." Henry whispered to her, kiss her cut gently.

"Henry, i cannot." She whispered as tears began to fall once again. She loved Henry but she did not want to be given the same fate as the others.

"Why not!" He shouted, not in anger but in sadness and confusion, "Do you not love me as i love you?" He asked in a small voice, never had he felt so broken by a woman.

"Henry, I love you more then i love life itself. But i could not be with a man who will mistresses whenever he wanted. I want a husband who will be loyal to me, and me only." she spoke tears falling as she crouched in front of him, as he leaned against the table. It was when she did this that she noticed he was crying too. "Henry do not cry for me- marry another. "She begged.

"I will never lay with another women if you promise to be my wife." Henry begged, He pulled her up from ground and kissed her deeply. Katarina starting to kiss him back forgetting all reason not to be with Henry. Henry began to kiss down Kat's neck, she threw her head back in pleasure. "Be my wife." Henry whispered into her ear, He looked into her brown eyes. Filled with worry but also filled with love and desire.

"Yes." She spoke, capturing Henrys lips once more. Henry pulled away, not believing his ears. "Really?" He asked, to which she nodded with a bright smile. Henry picked up Katarina and spun her around in happiness. All the while kissing her deeply. "I love you, Harry." She said, giving him the nickname she had called him only one before. Henry smiled at her. In all his life he had never been so happy. "I love you too." He spoke and kissed her again.
