The fear of a Queen

7 years ago....

Anne's  POV:
It was summer, I had been sent off to the french court to serve the Queen as one of her ladies, i was rather close with the Queen she gave me rather good advice one day that i would never fully understand until later on in my life , little did I know her words would have helped me alot...

I was helping her get ready for bed as I dried of her feet after she soaked them she looked down at me with a emotionless face  as she leaned over to speak "Anne here's some advice if one day you were ever to marry , A man likes to think he can rule a woman and they most certainly can especially a king but don't let him rule your heart....you must rule his." She stated leaning back as I then looked up at her confused.

"Pardon me your grace but what do you mean?" I asked.

"A son is more important than anything in this world to any man give a man a son you're safe , you must not ever forget how to present yourself and keep your virtue close as they can bore of you fast if you're not careful"  she smiled slightly.

"It's never to late to make a man desire you , your majesty " A girl spoke I looked over at her to see her smirking as she sat beside me.

"Katherine..." She spoke softly.

"You must not forget that he married you , he desired you , make him remember it and he shall remain yours." Katherine looked over at me with a soft smile.

"Anne Boleyn yes?" Katherine asked , I nodded at her question.

"Yes I am. And you are ?"

"Katherine Petrova" she smiled at me brightly something mysterious about this woman.

Now

Now my old friend was here, I was confused to why we immediately went to my chambers after greeting each other outside, I looked at her as she curtseyed at me i shook my head sighing "no need for that Lady Katherine you are a friend to me...why are you here though ?" I asked confused and surprised, i know I probably didn't seem to happy or excited but I was. Maybe this court will be easier live in with a good friend by my side.

"I got your letter Anne. You're in danger how could I not come help. Has your marriage really came to this? King Henry adored you so much he made no hesitation to hide his love for you." Katherine spoke removing her hat placing it down sitting down on a chair where I decided to stay standing.

"After Elizabeth he began to bed mistresses, I was stressed ....heartbroken and more worried on giving the king a son I miscarried after that he began to pull away , becoming distant and cold barley taking me to bed. Jane Seymour arrived and I just knew this was it , my third pregnancy I saw them together." I looked down as I could see Katherine frown in sadness hearing my pain.

"He is trying to get me convicted of treason, adultry!" I raised my voice beginning to Pace once more biting my finger a habit of mine when i become worried , nervous or Anxious.

"Jane Seymour you say?" She asked smirking "George , your brothers lover? " She arched a brow , I snapped my direction to her and laughed.

"Not funny Katherine! "

"But it's true. He told me himself he has love letters from both of them " she stood up and poured us some wine.

"...This doesn't make sense...." I said sitting down taking the cup into my hand jugging it down completely.
