Victoria Cambridge, the daughter of the Duke of Cambridge was brought to Hampton Court to distract the King from another miscarriage from his wife Catherine. What she didn't expect was falling in love with him.
"What makes you so scared?" Henry ask...
I thanked Morgana as she finished with my hair as she placed the crown on my head. I stood up and walked out of my chambers and saw Henry waiting for me.
"I thought I was meeting you in the throne room?" I asked as he stood up and smiled at me.
"I thought we shall walk together." He said as he offered his arm for me. I stared at him for a moment before I linked my hand with his arms and we began our way to the throne room.
Everyone bowed lowly to us as we got to our thrones and Henry helped me sit down first before he joined me.
Ten minutes have passed before trumpets began to play and I stood up as the doors opened and it came both James IV and Margaret.
"Meg!" Henry said as he broke apart from me and rushed into his sister's arms.
"Oh, Harry! It's been so long!" She said before the broke apart and she turned to me.
"Your Majesty," I said as I went to bow but Margaret held up her hand.
"We are sisters, Victoria. We do not bow to one another." She instructed before she brought me into a hug.
"Oh, you look ready to give birth. I do hope I am here when it happens." She said before her husband stepped next to her.
"Victoria, this is my husband James. James this is my brother's wife, Victoria of Cambridge." Meg said and I bowed.
"Welcome to England, Your Majesty. I do hope you enjoy your days here." I said and James nodded.
"The last time I was here was our wedding. England is far too warm for me. I rather enjoy my days in the cold." James said and I raised an eyebrow at him before nodding.
"Well, hopefully, you will enjoy your stay here," I said and James smiled before he offered me his arm and led me to my seat before sitting beside me.
"How is little Mary? I haven't seen here since her christening." Meg asked and Henry grinned.
"Mary is very well. Victoria has done wonders with her lessons. She has finished her Latin lessons and will start Spanish." Henry explained as everyone sat down and maids began bringing out our food.
"Our nation's food. You have done your research." James said and I smiled softly.
"I did mean it when I said I hope you enjoy your time here and I wanted to make it as easy as possible."
James stared at me for a moment before nodding as I turned to Meg.
"You are a wonderful Queen. My brother has chosen well." Meg said and I stared at her for a moment before sighing.
"Some would think so. But if you did not know, your brother took a whore." I hissed and I watched as Henry chocked on his wine.
"Hmm, let's see how long that will last." She said and I chuckled softly.
Soon our food was taken away and music began playing.
"Victoria, care to dance?" Charles said as he stepped towards me. I stared at him for a moment before giving him my hand and allowing him to led me onto the dance floor.
We bowed to each other before Charles placed his hand on my lower back and I grabbed his hand as we spun around the dance floor.
"Why are you dancing with me?" I asked as I spun into his chance.
"Meg knew of Henry's mistress. Morgana told her. Meg says Henry will get jealous with me dancing with you."
"Jealous?" I asked and Charles nodded as he dipped me softly.
"If Henry did not marry you I would have. I always thought you were a beauty." Charles said and I froze softly before smiling.
"Thank you, Charles. I can say you are quite handsome." I said before the song ended and we broke apart and I clapped towards the band.
"My Queen," Charles said as he bowed lowly and I smiled before picking up a piece of my white dress and walking back to the table.
"How much longer?" Meg asked as I saw her holding a little baby in her arms.
"A little over a month now. Is this Albert?" I asked and Meg nodded as she laid him in my arms.
I wrapped my arms around Albert and rocked him softly.
"Oh my. How sweet and precious you are." I whispered as I pushed some of his hair back and he opened his eyes and winked at me.
"He likes you," Meg said and I smiled as I laid him down in her arms.
"Are Elizabeth and James here as well?" I asked as I reached for my chair but Henry jumped up and helped me sit.
"They are but they are with their governess right now. Being in the carriage for so long tired them out." She explained and I nodded.
"Tomorrow, I will have archery in the courtyard. Will you join me?" I asked and Meg smirked.
"Of course Victoria. I do want to get to know my new sister." She said before Henry stood up and everyone fell silent.
"If I may have all of your attention. We welcome back my sister, Margaret, Queen of Scotland. Along with her family. Who have not seen England in so long." Henry began and I smiled.
"For a short time we will have them we will cherish it. To make our bonds between our two countries much stronger. I know our parents would be so proud to have you here now." Henry added and we all cheered.
Henry lifted up his goblet and I reached for my own as I clinked glasses with Meg before turning to James.
"May we have a wonderful time in England." He said and I nodded.
"I pray we will."
