- In Cold Blood
𝙄𝙏'𝙎 𝘽𝙀𝙀𝙉 𝘼 𝘾𝙊𝙐𝙋𝙇𝙀 𝙊𝙁 𝙒𝙀𝙀𝙆𝙎, Wolsey was sitting at his desk signing important documents when the door opened and the page announced told him, " Eminence, Lady Armstrong and Lady Evans are here"
"Very well," Wolsey replied rolling his eyes in slight annoyance, " let them in" Sophie and Emily both walked into the room as the door closed behind them as the blonde looked at her sister with uneasiness before walking over to Cardinal Wolsey, "Your Eminence" Sophie greeted with a slight smile as she curtsied before him.
"What can I do for you, Sophie?" Wolsey asked, looking between the twins not using formalities since he's known them since they were children as he was close friends with their parents just like Thomas was. Emily stepped closer to her sister taking ahold of her hand nodding in encouragement as Sophie took a deep breathe and revealed, " I am... with child, your Eminence"
"Yes, what of it?" Wolsey asked with furrowed eyebrows not seeing why she's come all the way here just to tell him she was pregnant. "It is his Majesty's child" Emily answered for her sister causing Wolsey to freeze as he stopped what he was doing looking up at the blonde twin with wide eyes.
"You are certain?" Wolsey questioned causing Sophie nod her head in confirmation as she quietly answered, " Yes" looking down at the ground uncomfortably. "Have you told the King?" Wolsey asked making Sophie shake her head with tears forming in her eyes and explained, "No, I haven't seen much of him lately"
"Good," Wolsey exclaimed as he sighed before placed his quill down on the table, " I will inform his Majesty in due time. In the meantime, you will say nothing to anybody on pain of death. Just like we did last time. Do you understand?"
Sophie nodded her head as she glanced at her sister and replied, "Thank you, Your Eminence," the twins both curtsied going to walk out of the room only to stop when Wolsey spoke up."If you give birth to another boy, I can't promise you will be able to keep him like you did the other two. His Majesty might decide to publicly announce this one, which will ensure that he will remain at court and not join you at Armstrong Place." Wolsey explained
"Yes, Your Eminence" The blonde softly replied before walking out of the room with her sister following after her, " What am I going to do Em? If I have another boy Henry will surely take him away from me" Emily brought her sister into a tight hug stroking her hair as she assured, " Henry loves you Soph, so much, but the only person who's given him what he wants is you. You've given him two sons and even if Henry announces this one you know he'll be in safe hands"
