Queen Akasha wakes the next morning to a knock on her bedchamber door. She puts on her robe and answers her door. To her serprice the Kings servent charlse was waiting for her to open the door. "Your Majesty the King Henry would like to invite you to jion him on his weekly hunt." Queen Akasha looks at charlse with a question in her eyes.
"Is Her Majesty going to be joining us? Ive heard she is a very good huntress."
Queen Akasha steps aside to allow the servent entrance. Charles explains why Anne will not be coming along.
"Her Majesty Queen Anne is with child and is confined to her bed till the babe is born." Akasha understands perfectly why Anne has to be careful. She herself had lost at least three babes over the years."Well tell his Majesty that i would be delighted to jion him on his hunt,so go now and let me and my duaghter dress." The kings servent leaves promtly to relay the message.
Akasha and Margrette dress for a royal hunt. Akasha dresses in gold chain maile, her hair is braided in an elabrote bun. She wears her husbands old riding tunic. Akasha had her seamtress alter it too fit the curves of a womans figure. Margrette wears a gray riding habit with a peacock plume in her hair.
her hair is down and hangs in long midnight black ringlets down her back. As they make there way down the staircase King Henry has to catch his breath they were so breath taking. And to say the least Akasha is wearing a mans tunic! "My lord may i interduce you to my hunting party,you know my duaghter Margrette, this is johns cutting my husbands old horseman, jacob philips my groomsman, and my duaghters personal body guard william misco.
These men are most execelent at hunting and most trusted by my family."King Henry sizes up all three men.
They are quite empressive, just as long as they dont get in the way of his courtship of Queen Akasha.
The groomsmen bring out there steeds, including Akasha`s odd stead.
