Outside- Royal Family (K)
The King was out in the gardens with his wife, Queen Catherine Parr, and children, Prince Edward and the Ladies Elizabeth and Mary. The King seemed pleased. His health was slightly improved and he enjoyed the company of his family. Henry was pouring the Queen some wine as they watched the Prince "protect" his sisters from a dragon only he could see.
Then, the tranquility of the afternoon was shattered by the appearance of the Lord Chancellor. Catherine noticed him first. Turning to her husband, she asked, "What is this?"
The King asked the Lord Chancellor, who responded, "I am here to arrest the Queen and her Ladies."
This announcement caught the attention of all three of Henry's children. Edward stopped his sword fight. Both Elizabeth and Mary stood from their spots on the grass. Catherine slowly stood as well, visibly trembling. Suddenly, the King began yelling. The Lord Chancellor left quaking in fear followed by the guards that had accompanied him, without the Queen.
Henry sat back down still seething from his outburst. He watched Catherine sit next to him, clearly relieved. Edward remained staring at his father, not entirely sure what just happened. Elizabeth seemed unfazed by what had happened, unless you looked closely. There was fear in the young girl's eyes that she was trying to hide. Mary, who was always more open with her expressions, looked angry, but recently so. When the Lord Chancellor left, the smirk she had adorned vanished.
