Queen Isabella of Denmark// King Henry VII

Chapter Thirty-Five: Elijah

Queen Isabella

I kept my sword pointed at Elijah who smiled at me. 

"This is Elijah?" Henry asked and I nodded. 

"My bastard brother. How are you in England?" I asked and Elijah smirked. 

"Well when I heard my sister was married I thought whoever told me had to be false because I wasn't invited. But then news spread of you giving birth to twins and so I thought I could come and see them." Elijah said as he took a step forward. 

He was met by both mine and Henry's sword.  

"Don't you dare take a step closer or I will gladly let my husband slice your head off." I hissed and Elijah stared at me. 

"Well, the true daughter of Queen Maria has shown." He said and I rolled my eyes. 

"State your business or leave. You can be forced away by the guards or walk away by yourself. Choose Elijah." I said and he smiled. 

"I have come to back peace with my sister. I have missed you terribly Isabella." He said and I shook my head. 

"You sold me out to the Dauphin of France. You are the reason they sat on England's border. You have known all this time I was in England." I stated as I stepped closer. 

"I challenge you to a draw little sister." He said and Henry stepped closer and pushed me behind him. 

"You cannot challenge a pregnant woman. But you can challenge me." He said and I handed him my sword before walking back to our four children who waited for me. Edward began to hide his face in my skirts while Elizabeth held Amelia close to her. 

"Shh, it is alright. Your father won't get hurt." I whispered as Greer handed me, Christian, before standing beside Bash. 

I watched as the guards moved the tables away before Henry charged at Elijah. Elijah didn't see it coming and was knocked on his ass before glaring at Henry. 

"You did not give me a chance Prince." He growled and Henry let out a laugh. 

"In England, I am a King. And you shall respect me as one." Henry said before he spun around and the swords clashed against each other. I gasped in horror as Henry was cut in the cheek. 

"Papa!" Elizabeth cried out as she ran to him but Greer caught her and held her close. 

"Lizzie listen to me. Your father is doing this for Bella's honor." Greer whispered as she carefully took Amelia and Elizabeth out of the room. I felt Edward shake as he hid under my skirts. 

"Edward please. Go with Greer," I whispered but Edward shook his head. 

"I will not leave you, momma." He said and I sighed as I turned around and saw Henry moving towards Elijah. When he pointed his sword towards Elijah's heart someone blew the horn. 

"Point." I heard Henry say and I handed Christian to Bash before rushing towards Henry. I threw my arms around him and held him close to me. 

"Oh thank God," I whispered before I heard Elijah chuckle. 

"Well, well, well. You finally found yourself a man, little sister. Even if he has killed three of his wives." Elijah said and I glared at him. 

"How dare you?! How dare you?! You waltz in here like you own the damn place and then you have the nerve to challenge me then fight my husband and throw in his face that three of his wives are dead." I screamed before Henry held me back. 

"Get out! Get out of this court! Get out of this Kingdom!" I yelled before I felt a pain and almost dropped to my knees. 

"Bella?" Henry asked and I let out a groan in pain. 

"Something's wrong," I whispered and Henry stared at me before looking at Elijah. 

"If something happens to our unborn child I will kill you." He growled before he picked me up like a child and rushed me towards the physician bay. When the doors opened the physician ran to me and let Henry lower me onto a bed. 

"Your Majesty I have to ask you to please step out of the room." He said as one of the midwives began to check on me. 

"She is my wife!" 

"I know! Everyone knows how much you care for her. But for her sanity please step out of the room." He said and when I heard the door closed and when I opened my eyes the physician was standing over me. 

"Your Majesty, what happened?" 

"My bastard brother has come to court and then he dueled with Henry and I felt pain," I said and the physician smiled softly at me before looking towards the midwife. 

"Your Majesty, your unborn child did not like the violence. It was just scared and wanted you to be calm." She said and I let out a sigh in relief. 

"Oh thank you, Lord." I cried out and the physician stared at me. 

"Your Majesty. I recommend you take it easy in your pregnancy. No traveling unless it is necessary." He said and I nodded as he helped me up. 

"Yes. I completely agree. I do not plan on losing my child." I said before the door open and it came to Henry. 

"Are you alright?" He asked and I nodded. 

"Yes, the baby did not like what was happening," I explained and I watched as Henry physically relaxed before holding me close. 

"Please don't ever scare me again." He said and I smiled as I took his head in my hands. 

"I did not mean to Henry. Seeing Elijah has just made me so angry. I have never felt like that before. Only when I go to battle." I said and Henry chuckle. 

"And how many times have you gone into battle?" 

"Oh, would you like to know, I have been in battle since I was thirteen. I have cut the heads off of evil people and those who have decided to defy me." I said as I went to stand up but Henry just scooped me into his arms again. 

"I knew we were a true match when I first met you."
