The following day the Earl of Hertford was anointed chief of the over the Pole's and Lady Elena. Lord Montagu paced his small room. "I want to see my son, what have you done with my son?." He asked the Earl who stood by the door with an unimpressed look on his face.
"Your son is safe and unharmed." The Earl replied. "He will remind unharmed until we know that your family aren't all traitors like your brother Reginald Pole" He said simply causing Henry to turn and face him in shock.
"You know very well, that my family has disowned my brother long ago, my mother and myself confess are loyalty to his gracious Majesty. The King." The Earl ignored his words with a small smirk across his lips as he looked down opening his fur jacket and took out a large letter; opening it he spoke every word clearly.
"I like well the producing of my brother, the cardinal but I like not the producing of doing of this realm and I trust to see a change in this world. I would wish that we were both over the sea. The world in England waxed and crud the God's lord has been twisted; Abbeys and Churches are over thrown."
Henry turned away from the Earl as he spoke his words that he had written in the letter. "Who gave you that letter?.." He asked the Earl looked at him. "Do you deny writing this letter?" He asked as he watched Henry slowly sat down on his small bed in the corner of his cell.
"It also has a post script: The King will die one day suddenly, his leg will kill him and we shall have a jolly stirring." Earl spat the last part harshly causing Henry to flinch and blinked away his tears as he noticed his freedom was disappearing from him quickly. "Your profession of Loyalty were all hallow my Lord Montagu." He said casually he fold up the letter in his hands.
"After all you are the Kings cousins and my Lady Elena is the last of the Plantagene, the white rose." The Earl kept a stern voice as he watched Henry stare at the wall in fear as he continued to speak. "Some say you Poles are the rightful heirs to the throne." This caused Henry to turn and look up at the Earl. "Don't they?.."
Meanwhile Lady Elena stayed in her cambers, after last night conversation with the King she felt unease about showing her face since her family was in the tower for high treason. Her pale blue eyes stared out the window at the large lake; she sighed softly to herself and blinked as one of her ladies has returned from somewhere.
"My Lady Beth could you please run me a bath." She asked her softly and smiled. "But My lady you haven't went out and you've had a bath only several hours from now." Beth said looking at her master with concern. "Would you like be to get you some books to ease your discomfort?.." Beth asked Elena who nodded slowly to herself, slowly standing up from her chair.
"If you like, I shall head to bed for a while for I feel ill.." Elena said and smiled at Beth who nodded and bowed to Lady Elena as she watched her mistress walk into her bedroom, sighing softly Beth ran her fingers through her auburn hair and turned her gaze to the door to see Elizabeth another lady-in-waiting for Lady Elena.
"Where have you been?.." Asked Beth quietly as she began to knit.
"I have been attending my husband; it would see he wishes for me to be with child." She said quietly her green eyes scanning the large room to not see her mistress anywhere. "She's sleeping." Beth said not looking up from her work.
"I see and how is she?.." Elizabeth asked concern showing on her face as she took a seat across from Beth.
"What do you mean?.." Beth asked curiously, moving her chocolate brown eyes to meet Elizabeth green ones.
"The King has charge Lord Montagu with high treason, they say that even his son is to be charge as well and he is but a child.." Elizabeth leaned forward as her voice became quitter. "They say that his Majesty is to get rid of all noble blood that can succeed to the throne." She said quietly and just when Beth was about to say something, there was a knock at the door.
Lady Anna who was one of the Ladies outside the door, slowly opened the door with the Earl of Hertford. "The Earl of Hertford is here to see our Lady." She said softly as the two walked into the room.
"Sorry my Lord but Lady is sleeping."
"Wake her up." He said simply Beth who was the head Lady for Elena bowed and quickly rushed to the other side of the room. "My lady, Wake up." Elena blinked and frowned ever so slightly as she slowly sat up in her bed. "What is it?.." She asked her quietly as she looked over to Beth slightly displeased she had been woke up.
"The Earl of Hertford is here to see you." With that Elena rushed out of bed although she regained her composure with grace as she re-entered her big room. "My Lord.." She greeted politely and signal all her ladies to leave.
The Earl watched her Ladies leave; slowly turning his head back to Lady Elena, his ice blue eyes washed over the lady figure, bust was pushed up to perfection, her milk and honey was like a touch on heave and her face was of a true beauty. Edward could already tell was pure nothing like his wife, she was still a maid.
"My Lady, I am here to ask you a few questions regarding your cousin Reginald Pole." He said seriously and stepped closer to Elena, smirking ever so slightly as she backed away from him until her back had hit the wall. The Earl placed one hand on the wall to intimate her. Edward was going to enjoy this.
