Hello guys! English, it is not my motherly language, I'm French so I apologize if there are some mistakes. Don't hesitate to tell me where they are so that I can improve.

This little story is based upon a deleted scene of the Tudors.

Anne of Cleves invited Mary and Elizabeth to dine with her. It was quite late and Elizabeth fell asleep. Anne smiled and Mary took the little girl to a bed.

' Goodnight, sweet Elizabeth.' Mary whispered, kissing her forehead

' Poor Princess Elizabeth.' Anne said

' Why do you say so?' Mary asked

' The king has reduced her household again. I wish she was not neglected as I was.'

Mary's heart skipped a beat. What did she just say?

' You were neglected?'

' Ja. Of course. Always. I was only a girl. What else did you expect?'

Anne had a small smile. Mary realized that Anne and herself were alike. And daughters seemed less important in this world, and religion did not count in this matter.

She was just like her.
