Part 1
2 Days later
Anne was eating lunch with Elizabeth in her room. Mary hadn't left her chambers since they had gotten here and Anne was worried. Mary took her meals alone in her room and had been alone for 2 days now. Anne decided that she would go and talk to her this afternoon while Elizabeth was at her lessons. She smiled as Elizabeth began to talk about how she wished she could be a sailor.
"Elizabeth dear, a princess can't be a sailor, in fact a woman can't be a sailor."
Elizabeth screwed her face up, "Why not woman are just as good as men," she said matter of factly.
"Yes dear I know but it's just not the way things are and if you were a sailor it would mean you would have to spend a great deal of time away from home."
"Oh I wouldn't like that, I would miss you and Papa far too much," Elizabeth said.
Anne winced, at some point she would have to have a chat with Elizabeth about her father and she wasn't looking forward to it. She put the thought of that conversation out of her mind and tucked into her lunch listening to Elizabeths ramblings.
Meanwhile Henry was in his office when he recieved a message from Hatfield.
Dear Majesty
I am writing to inquire as to what time the carriage will arrive to take me back to court to be reunited with Elizabeth and be at the Queens service. The Queen had said that it would arrive sometime today but there has been no sign.
With many thanks Lady Bryan.
Henry stared at the letter, Anne should be at Hatfield with Elizabeth. What on earth was Lady Bryan talking about ?
Henry called on a servant, "Ready my horse boy."
Henry rode hard to Hatfield along with his groomsman. He reached Hatfield to find it totally quiet. There were no servants milling around as usual. Henry entered Hatfield to find it virtually empty. Suddenley a young maid popped out of the kitchen humming.
She immediately dropped into a curtsy, "Your Majesty."
"Get me Lady Bryan."
Lady Bryan returned a while later,
"Your Majesty."
"Lady Bryan where are all the servants, where is my daughter and wife?, Hatfield is like a ghost house."
Lady Bryan scrunched her face up in confusion, "Forgive me your Majesty but Queen Anne took Elizabeth to court the day before yesterday and I was to follow on today by the carriage that her Majesty was to send."
"You mean Anne didn't come and stay?"
"No your Majesty, her Majesty arrived the day before yesterday and ordered for all of Elizabeth's things to be packed and said that they were going to court and I was to follow today."
Henry's face turned white, "Get me the Lady Mary, now."
Lady Bryan now knew something was very wrong and whispered, "Lady Mary went with her Majesty."
Henry's face went red, "When you say Elizabeth's things?"
"Everything your Majesty, her chambers are bear and so are the Lady Mary's."
Henry strode out of Hatfield and he and his groom rode back to the palace. Henry burst into Anne's chambers, where were her ladies? Henry looked around, the place was empty, everything of Anne's was gone, including the jewels that belonged to the crown.
Henry shouted to his groomsman, "Get me Cromwell."
It was a few hours later and Henry entered the Privy Council meeting to be met by anxious faces staring back at him.
"WELL WHERE ARE THEY?"
Cromwell spoke slowly, "Her Majesty is on her way to France."
Henry felt his stomach drop and his face was slowly going red. Annes brother, father and Uncles faces dropped.
"WHAT THE HELL DO YOU MEAN ON HER WAY TO FRANCE."
"We have discovered from an informant that at the nearest port to Hatfield a ship left for France and on board was the Queen and your two daughters sire."
"AND NO ONE THOUGHT THAT IT WAS STRANGE THAT THE QUEEN WAS GOING TO FRANCE ALONE WITHOUT ME AND THAT NO ANNOUNCEMENT HAD BEEN MADE ABOUT IT, MY BLOODY PREGNANT WIFE, MY PRINCESS DAUGHTER AND MY BASTARD DAUGHTER WITHOUT THEIR KING ALONE?"
"It appears that bribes had been offered in return for silence until her Majesty had gotten away."
"AWAY FROM WHAT? GET ME THE FRENCH AMBASDOR NOW!"
Cromwell ran from the room hurriedly.
About 20 minutes later the French Ambassodor entered the Privy chambers, he bowed, "Your Majesty you requested to see me?"
"YOUR DAMN RIGHT I DID, TELL ME OF MY WIFE, SHE IS ON HER WAY TO FRANCE WITH YOUR HELP NO FUCKING DOUBT."
"Your Majesty Queen Anne is seeking refuge in France as she is worried for her lifes and that of her child and growing child. My master has granted her request and Anne will be arriving in France shortly."
Henry looked at the French man incredously before saying, "Cromwell get me the Spanish Ambassodor," and he spat, "Your master has just started a war!"
The Ambassodor said slowly, "And who will you fight against France with your Majesty?"
Henry laughed, "Spain of course you dimwit."
The Ambassodor said, "Sire I am afraid that Spain and France have already formed an alliance and this means that a war for England against the two nations is simply impossible."
Henry stared at the man before he pinned him to the wall,
"YOU FUCKING BASTARD YOU PLANNED THIS. GET OUT MY SIGHT," Henry screamed at the man.
He turned to his privy council members who were all looking very nervous,
"HOW THE HELL DID WE NOT KNOW ABOUT THIS CROMWELL, A FUCKING ALLIANCE HAD BEEN FORMED UNDER NOSES. ANNE HAS LEFT WITH MY DAUGHTERS NOT TO MENTION MY CHILD IN HER WOMB. WHAT IF IT'S A SON? AS OF NOW ENGLAND HAS NO HEIRS AND THERES NOT A BLOODY THING WE CAN DO ABOUT IT?" Suddenley the King turned to the Boleyn family and said, "DID YOU KNOW ABOUT THIS?"
"No your Majesty, they all said in unison, we believed that she was at Hatfield resting for her unborn son and to visit her daughter."
"HOW COULD NO ONE KNOW OF THIS ITS YOUR JOB TO KNOW THESE THINGS, MY QUEEN HAS RUN AWAY," then Henry said quieter to himself,"My queen has ran away with all of my children and heirs and I am powerless.
