Chapter 2: Letter arrival
July 26th 1536
Jane Boleyn pregnancy as well so far, despite she had to comfort George every night he woke from nightmares she was well. Elizabeth was excited, just a little girl and she acts maturely than a noble family does. George vowed to god and his innocent sister, no matter the consequences he shall let blood run loose of the murderers who told those lies. The victims of a horrendous king, who got brainwashed by a pale whore, was now beside king Henry on the golden throne. Welcoming his true bastard daughter back into his court and arms since the Lady Mary Fritzoy signed the oath declaring her illegitimate. Awarded gowns, chambers and a title, everyone was sure that meant she'd be heir to the throne till a son is born.
Many knew that was to not be true, the king was still under the "witches spell" and he will behold of it till he lies dead in the tomb where his body will rest for the rest of eternity.
During the early hours of the morning, George awoke to the creaking of the chamber floor. He saw Elizabeth smiling at him, holding onto a small handmade doll. Anne made it for Elizabeth when she was just a young babe. George welcomed her in the bed with open arms, Elizabeth ran towards her uncle still clutching onto the doll, she jumped into his arms and smiled as George kissed her forehead.
"Hello, dear Elizabeth how are you this fine morn?"
"I am well, how are you uncle?"
"Tired, now today I will be busy so please look after your aunt Jane for me. Do you promise?" Elizabeth nods happily.
"Where is auntie mary?" Elizabeth asks.
"Probably with your aunt Jane, there is something I would like to give to you later today".
" What is it, uncle George?"
"I can't say little Bess. Now get dressed and I'll join you for breakfast soon" Elizabeth nods and leaves the chambers. George stares blankly at the ceiling. Every night he prays that Jane Seymour would never birth the king a child. At gods mercy, he hoped Jane will miscarry if she does become a with child too. Every night was heartbreaking, he swore he heard the painful, trapped screams of Anne and the innocent men's ghosts.
After breakfast, Elizabeth was sent to her lessons while Mary and Jane read books near the window. George smiled as he saw Henry Percy enter, he trembled at the sight of his former fiancee's brother. The smile Henry was given showed no sign of forgiveness. George kept his mouth shut tight, rubbing his now sweated hands together.
"Lord Percy thank you for coming today" Henry nodded slightly. He feared about what George might do to him.
"I know you may never forgive me, Lord Rochford, but I beg you in the mercy of your sister..."
"My sister was given no mercy especially from you or my pathetic controlling uncle. My niece has no mother to hold her tight if she has a nightmare. No warm caring love from her mother, her father is a cold-hearted, vile, pathetic use for a man. Why in gods name should I give you mercy?" Henry steps back and turns his head slightly to the side, letting a few tears fall down his face. George was right mercy was far beyond it. He caused a little girl to become motherless when he dies the lord will never have mercy upon him.
"I didn't want to upset..." George cuts him off again.
"The king, well he is just a stubborn child who cares nothing for anyone. You still have your life, will never be buried as a traitor" Henry knew George was angry. Of course, he would never forgive him.
"I know you will never forgive me, but each day I will pray for your health and the life of your sister" with those words he left the room, George watched him leave before throwing a goblet of wine and the wall. The king had everything while Elizabeth has no parent to love her. Who would he take away from the king first, his blonde pale mistress, stubborn bastard daughter or his many "Friends" who helped gather the evidence to say his sister had committed "Adultery, treason and incest". Lady Mary was always sick, she was most likely to die an early death anyway.
August 1st 1536
There was still no announcement of Jane Seymour being with child. When or if she does how would she feel about the pressure of making sure the child she carries is a boy.
A few letters arrived that morning for George, he was shocked to read a letter from his uncle and one from his father. The two begged for mercy and for him to lend them some money as the king stripped the two from their titles. He wrote an angry letter to them saying
" I will never forgive you for using both my sisters as your toy. For they both should have had a happy and faithful marriage. Without the pressure of making sure, they kept in the king in their view"
He signed the letter will his signature at the bottom. His mother Elizabeth Boleyn wanted to protect her children and now lost her youngest. George wrote secretly to his mother asking her to send a chest of Anne's dresses, jewels, French hoods and shoes she had when she was a child. Books of poetry, love and many other types, as well as Anne's diary. Elizabeth was too remember her mother no matter what bad things she will be told. Anne wanted her daughter to be raised a Protestant, to be smart and to make her father proud of her. George intended to make Elizabeth achieve those things.
Piles of unopened letters covered his desk, tossing a few into the burning fire in the room, George ripped open a letter with the Tudor rose symbol on it. Reading the letter slowly, George sighed folding the letter and placing it in his desk draw. He ordered a servant to summon Jane to his Chambers when she arrived Jane saw the look of sadness in Georges' eyes. She ran over to her husband and wrapped her arms around his neck.
"What is wrong George? please tell me" Jane begged to kiss his cheek softly.
"Master Cromwell is taking money out of Elizabeth's welfare. His Majesty is going to crown Jane Seymour Queen next month and Cromwell is taking Elizabeth's money so he can pay for decorations and plan the perfect coronation" Jane looked at George with shock. He smiled slightly at his wife, they are still lucky to still get given money by King Henry but Elizabeth needs the money too.
"Why Elizabeth's money? the girl has lost everything. Is master Cromwell trying to make her life worse?" Jane asks George who slightly shrugs at the question.
"Who knows, everybody doesn't care about Anne or Elizabeth. Lady Mary Fritzoy has been stored to the king's good graces. Whatever master Cromwell does or plans nobody cares. As far as the court and country knows, Elizabeth is apparently the bastard child of King Henry VIII". Jane rubs Georges' shoulders softly she kissed his cheek again before picking up a few letters on the desk and began to read.
George watched Jane and saw a letter in the corner of his eyes. Latin writing was written on the back saying " Important information". Ripping open the letter he read the clearly written words.
George Boleyn,
Life in the English court has changed since your sister's death. People believe now we are free from the "Witch". I along with other supporters even from other countries are on your side in secret. Lady Katherine Parr is a fellow supporter of Elizabeth and she would like to become Elizabeth's governess.
from your fellow supporter
George smirked wickedly, opening his desks draw once again he picked up a knife from out of it. He wrapped it in a cloth and placed it in a chest box. Jane watched him and knew she must stay calm for the child she carries. George was a good man, he doesn't mean or want to hurt people. He just wants revenge, no matter what happens. She spoke in a clear calm voice.
" Be careful about what you're doing George, I don't want to lose you and I am sure your sister Mary and Elizabeth don't want that too" She left her husband after saying those words. George sighed and nodded to himself. Jane was right maybe now wasn't the best time for revenge. But it doesn't mean it won't.
Sorry about the late update, I have loads of school work. If you really hate Jane Seymour you will definitely enjoy what will happen to her. If you haven't yet Fav and follow. please review and the winning story on my vote is Anne being Henrys 3rd wife with a total of 17 votes.
