Never tried anything like this before, I own nothing of the Tudor's plot line but R&R and hope u enjoy my attempt.

Anne Boleyn the undercover lover

Spring 1527:

Anne paced up and down awaiting her audience; just over a week ago she had been sent a letter to her mistress Margret in Austria requesting that she travel down to Italy to be received by his holiness the pope on an urgent matter.

Anne dearly loved her mistress and her home from home at Habsburg court, she had been well educated from a young age by Margret and was now fluent in many languages and knew of many poems and compositions. From the age of 12 when she arrived at Margret's court, Anne was showered with the best education that any girl of high standing could ask for; in fact it often rivalled that of the monarchy.

It was for this wit and education as well as her background that the pope had selected her for his task. She was an English born lady whose family had a good standing in England, making it easier to get her the access she would need. Her beauty was not that which would stop men, but it was as if, according to Margret, her eyes drew you in and she had the charm that made up for her lack of typical English rose beauty.

But most of all, even though she may have been taught in the French ways, she was picked for her stout belief in the Roman Catholic Church.

Anne was not told the reasoning for her summoning, only that her services were required to help out with the situation in England. She had heard of the problems that the king was causing to his queen and country; apparently some country harlot was causing an upheaval, the king had become besotted with her and couple that together with his rage over the son he had yet to receive, this girl had managed to make him obsessed by denying him yet promising him a son if they were to marry... an so the king was now seeking a divorce all because of an empty promise from a country harlot.

So she supposed that she was being sent back to England to be a spy for the pope, because of whom her father is she would be strait to court; her sister was already accepted at court but not for what she hoped. Mary Boleyn was considered the great prostitute of Europe, and considering that she had been in both the French and English king's beds the title was rather apt. Anne was not like her sister, she did not believe in extra marital relations or using your body to gain power, but that did not quell the hurt Anne felt when her sister died just days after giving birth to what people assumed was King Henry's illegitimate child. The question of the child's parentage was never solved though as the infant died not a day after its mother.

Broke out of her internal musings, Anne was summoned into the papal offices where his holiness sat clutching a parchment. He raised his hand to summon her from the doorway to stand before him, once she was close enough she fell to her knees in a deep curtsey of devotion.

"No need for the formalities my dear, please stand, I want to see why Margret praises you so highly." His holiness said in a deep rasping voice which only hinted at the power and wisdom Anne knew he must possess.

She raised her head and accepted the pre-offered hand given to her. Raising herself up to her full height she looked with steely gaze into that of his holiness, and with the boldness he was hoping she possessed she asked, "why am I summoned here sir?"

This cheek would have got her reprimanded under any other circumstances but this was what the pope was searching for, he had been told of her great wit and charm along with the teasing she would give to those whom others would not dare, it caused a great many to admire her vivacity and spirit.

"You are here my lady, as Margaret's recommendation, to receive the task of going back to your home country to be my eyes and ear in the English court as to what the king has planned and how he intends to achieve his annulment."

...

Not two weeks later found me on English soil once again and in the carriage that would lead me towards Hampton court palace.

AN: ok so I had no clue what to do but this is what I felt was right, not sure if it is like anything already wrote but I did get some inspiration from Caroline's 'path to the golden age' so don't hate but I wanted to give my idea a go.
