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.

I shall never marry
This day was a brillant one for King Henry's daughters. Both of them were recognized by their father and their rights upon the english throne were restored. If Mary was thrilled, her happiness grew cold when she saw Elizabeth's lack of reaction.
' If you are pleased, then so am I.' She said sincerely
' Elizabeth, what's wrong?' Mary asked when she saw her half-sister in deep thought
' Because of what happened to Queen Katherine, I've made my mind up.'
' In what?'
' As God is my witness, I shall never marry. Never.'
Elizabeth saw throughout her father's affairs how risky it was for a woman to be a wife. Her mother and Mary's mother were casted away because they were sonless, her mother killed because of rumors of adultery, Jane died because of motherhood and the way to motherhood passed by marriage, Anne of Cleves was divorces because her father did not like her appearance and Katherine
Howard was killed because she dared love. Being a man's wife was too dangerous. And Elizabeth cared for her life too much. She wanted to live. To be free to act as she wanted.
And marriage was the path to an early death.
