Summary: With the King of England injured during a hunt, on the account of the middle child Anne, eldest daughter Mary takes a chance and pushes her youngest sister into the room to take care of the King instead of herself. This starts a change to history that nobody expected to happen the way it did. -- NOTE: Currently being restored to full length as somehow chapters and notes got moved to one of my stories for Batman still holding their original stats. I am currently copy-pasting and fixing the chapters and hope to finish soon. My original notes for the newest chapter, though, were lost as one of the subjects was nigh impossible to research (RE: Stockholm Slaughter of November 1520) and I found very little that could actually be adapted into a letter from Verity to Suleiman. I am going to be finishing the chapter by adding a letter from Suleiman to Verity. Or, rather, excerpts of his responses to her previous letters. I am hoping it turns out better than the original idea.
