Author's Note: Sorry for posting a little late, I had to do a bunch of homework and I barely had time to write out this chapter. I just wanted to say before reading the chapter that there is a new poll on my profile that I would like for you to check out. Enjoy!

After what felt like a life time to Anne – and she could bet that Jane felt the same – it was finally time for her to leave Jane's rooms. She had been very lucky to be able to leave her rooms as most of her ladies in waiting had to stay with her through out the entire night in case she woke up and needed something. Anne got up from her seating position and walked over to where Jane and her sister were sitting, she watched as the two women looked at her as if she was nothing before she spoke.

"Your Majesty, it is time for me to leave." Anne said as gracefully as she could. She didn't want Jane to run her mouth to everyone that she was being disrespectful and rude to the new Queen, even though half the court wouldn't blink an eye at her behaviour.

Jane on the other hand was too caught up in her relief to imagine any slight or wrong doing, "Very well Lady Anne, I shall see you tomorrow morning." Jane was so glad that Anne would finally be leaving the only reason she had given into her family's demands was so she could find her weaknesses and exploit them, but so far Anne had been the perfect woman and everyone at court saw how she looked at her when she thought no one was looking so if she were to accuse Anne of neglect or some other crime she would have to wait for one to happen so that her ladies to back her up. Jane watched as the woman in front of bowed with all the respect one should give her as an anointed Queen of England, expect for the fact that she was Queen in everything but name. Henry had told her that her coronation had to be put back as the weather outside was getting colder be the minute and that Christmastide was around the corner and he didn't want the holiday to distract people from the occasion.

It was lie and Jane knew it, Henry was the type of man who would never wait for anything. No, if he wanted something he would take just as her took her when it was made clear that he would get no heir from that dried up Spanish whore and instead try to pawn of a sickly daughter as the next Queen. The only reason he would try to put off her coronation was if he did not want her anymore, it made Jane laugh to think that the man who had fallen head over heels for her and had made it his life goal to wed her now refuses to handover the crown and to make things worse he has kept his bastard daughter in the place only the heir to country should live, perhaps she should be grateful that her husband had ordered both Mary and her mother Katherine to sign an oath denouncing that they ever had the right to call themselves a part of his Majesties immediate family and from what he bother Thomas had told her Katherine had given in and if the past had given Jane any indication she knew that Mary would follow suit.

"Sister are you all right?" Dorothy said as she placed a gentle hand on her sister's arm. Jane looks alone told Dorothy what was wrong and she could already guess what the cause of her problem was. "Jane, you need not worry yourself over Anne Boleyn, she has only been in your service for a day. We will find her weaknesses and she will be gone and the King will welcome you back in his heart as a good husband ought to." Dorothy said in an attempt to comfort her younger sister.

"Even if by the time she is gone – that is if we can get her out – it will not be that simple to make the King fall back in love with me." Jane retorted as she put her needlework onto the small table next her and instead picked up a goblet of wine to which she took a small sip of.

"And why is that? Do you not remember how in love he was with you back when he first started to take interest with you, all the promises he made and look at you now? You are the Queen of England, the most powerful woman in the country and one of the most prominent figures in Europe." Dorothy couldn't see why Jane was upset surely once Anne was gone the King would act like nothing ever happened between the two to drive their marriage apart and he would love her tenfold.

"People only know my name because I drove the King of England to break from the Church of Rome and dispose of a very popular Queen, like it or not all of Europe hates me." Jane said, Jane liked to think of back when Henry first told her of his plan to divorce Katherine and make her Queen. At first she loved to idolise the adoring crowds pushing and shoving to try and catch a glamps at her and the baby boy she would have bundled up in her arms as she protected him from the cold winter morning, she had envisioned that the people would love her for all eternity from freeing them from the Spanish Queen and making their next King a child of pure English blood – not some puppet that would only ever speak in the interest of Spain – unlike the Lady Mary whose Spanish blood tainted her ability to make decisions that would keep England from becoming a part of Spain's empire.

"They will get over Katherine and in time they will thank you for what you did for them." Dorothy promised her.

"It is not just a matter of winning over the people, Henry he, I have reason to believe that he still loves Katherine." Jane splattered out. It was less heart break over the fact that her husband had lost interest in her and to do with the dangerous position it put her in. If Henry still loved his old wife then there was nothing stopping him from divorcing her and returning to Katherine and she was the one who had opened the door for that possibility to become a reality when she made getting a divorce so easy.

Dorothy however couldn't believe that, that was true in anyway shape or form. A man could not simply go though and hurt a woman as much as he did to the Dowager Princess and still have feelings for her, not after he declared that she was his brothers widow and that their relationship was one of incest and sin, "Jane calm down you're simple over-thinking this whole situation."

"No, I'm not how could the King be married to a woman for twenty long years and then turn around and say that never, not once he loved her during those years. That is unlikely even in most political marriages where the wife and husband have never met." Jane replied. Dorothy said nothing in response and instead squeezed Jane's hand as a show of support as she went back to her needlework these were all questions that were based on fear and paranoia and soon her sister would see that the is nothing to fear.

Anne walked out of Janes chambers and headed towards her own, whilst she defiantly felt glad to be of their it wasn't because it was bad. More to say it was boring and while she did become friends with Lady Miseldon she found it overall to be incredibly boring, all she did was sit there and do needlework the only interesting part of her day was when it was lunch and dinner because at least then she had something to do and she was sure that it was no accident that Jane had chosen her to prepare and clean the table for both lunch and dinner they wanted to see her snap, but Anne refused. As much as she would have loved to see the look on her face when she showed her the reality that no one in the room save her sisters truly supported her but she couldn't. If Jane wanted to make Anne snap then Anne would play the same game and could bet that it wouldn't take long to do so given the look of frustration on Jane's face when she completed the tasked she had given her perfectly and without complaint.

It was as if Jane forgot that Anne had served as a lady in waiting to Margert of Austria, Claude of France and the then Princess Mary who were better people then Jane could ever hope to be. Anne knew how to serve someone and be fine with it, to have them insult you and to still do everything they asked of you right down to the letter. If Jane wanted to break her then she would certainly be in for a surprise.

Anne walked in to her rooms and quickly got changed into one of her own outfits before she asked one of her maids to take it down to the laundry room to be cleaned so that she could wear it tomorrow. The gown that Anne was now wearing was a simple one: it was modestly cut and sported the new French fashions. Even though Jane was trying to make it so that the old English fashion was made popular instead of the Spanish trends Katherine had brought with her, but no matter how hard she tried no one was willing to go back to the fashion trends of England that was ruled by the Plantagenets which brought back dark memories for many, the King included.

Anne left her rooms and began to walk towards Henry's chambers remembering this morning when he asked her to come to him when she had finished her duties to the Queen. Anne was glad that he still took an interest in her even after making her serve as a lady to his wife and whilst he had told her that he had done it to keep her safe there was still a little piece of doubt in her mind as she had no idea that if behind closed doors Henry and Jane's marriage was doing well and that she was just making her out to be a fool in love. Brushing those thoughts out of her head Anne heard the voice of one of the King's personal men announce her name. Anne carefully walked in and silently thanked God that there was no one around to see her enter the King's rooms unattended, it was alright when she was with Charles or Mary and sometimes both of them as it would only give off the impression that she was there as the King's friend but if she went in alone it would make more than a few suspicious.

Henry watched as Anne walked into his rooms. He had already begun to regret his decision to place her into Jane's household as it meant that the two spent less time together, not physically but emotionally. Henry was so used to having sex with a woman before he even learned her name let alone got to know her but he was glad that he had done it with Anne, who he could tell already that she would deny him access to her bed because of her friendship with Katherine. He didn't blame her for that instead he respected her, too many people these days would gladly forget they were even friends with someone if it meant the could rise in power but again Anne was unlike any woman or person he had ever met and he was sure that she would be happy when Katherine was moved into Eltham place.

Henry would be happy too. Just because he divorced her didn't mean that every 'I love you' he ever said her was now erased from his memory nor the emotions they felt when Mary, their first child to live was born how happy he had been and she too. Unfortunately, all good things had to come to an end and their marriages end came quickly when Henry had discovered that Katherine had lied when she said that she was a virgin after the death of her first husband Arthur, his brother. Growing up Henry had always envied Arthur for being older than him and getting better stuff and Katherine of Aragon was no exception that was why he was so distraught to learn that she had consummated their marriage it was such a blow to him that the woman he loved was really his sister in law and he was living in sin he could not in good conscious be married to her and so he sought a divorce and once she was settled at Eltham and Mary had accepted her position as the Lady Mary he would make plans to see them both and to beg for them to understand that he had no alternative and that the security of the country took a higher priority than matters of the heart and Henry could only hope that they would forgive him and that they could all live in piece to honour his late brother.

"Anne how was your day?" Henry asked her. He wanted to know every detail there was if there was an issue with Jane he would make sure it was dealt with he didn't want Jane ruing other people's lives just because she had some petty jealousy over them. She should know more than anyone that it is a wife's duty to grin and bear it if her husband was to be unfaithful to her which he already was. Not in the sense that he had been sleeping with other woman but in the sense that she no longer held his heart. However, he would at least attempt to not take a mistress so their marriage looks to be stable.

"It was okay. The Queen payed me no more attention than she would any other lady on her first day." Anne replied smoothly, she didn't want to create false drama with Jane because it would only be a matter of months before one of her family members fall victim to a scandal of their own which would taint the new Queen as well.

"Good, good. I expect her to keep up the good behaviour be sure to tell me if she ever does something to disrespect you." Henry warned. Anne only let out a smirk and the two began talking about anything that came to mind. This was something Henry enjoyed, when he talked of politics with Anne he knew that she would give him an honest answer because she was not one of his councilmen who always had something to gain by advising the King, but Anne was different. She was a woman and a woman had no right to hold money in her own name and Anne had so far not been married so there would be nothing she could do the only thing broke that rule was that he had given her a title in her own right which Henry presumed would be passed on to her cousin the young Howard girl even still Henry knew that Anne only wanted what was best for the people and maybe she was a little too friendly with Katherine for his tastes but her friendship with high members of the French could, particularly the Queen who could influence the King balanced it all out.

The two of them continued their conversations until there was a banging noise on the door and a boy who said that he had an urgent message from Cromwell. Henry quickly let man in as his fears began to rise, "What is it boy? What news do you have?"

"New from Ludlow your Majesty, the Lady Mary has fallen ill. The reports say she has a fever and constant vomiting." Henry's heart fell into his chest. No, it couldn't be possible! His only child of his last wife to ever live could not be taken away from him not as long as he had the ability to stop it.

"I want you to send Dr Linacre to Ludlow immediately, tell him that the crown will personally pay him for any requirements he needs whilst restoring my daughter's health." Henry ordered at this point he would be willing to pay every once of money he had just so that his beloved Mary would feel no more pain.

"Yes, your Majesty." The boy said as he quickly left the King's chambers in search of Dr Linacre. Henry termed to see Anne deathly still and pale, he knew that while she had been tutoring the then Princess the two had gotten close so they would almost share the same amount of pain at news that Mary may be on her death bed. The two stood there in silence before Anne slowly spoke, "Henry I know that you may not agree with me sine Mary has yet to sign the oath but I think it would of great help to her of she could have the comfort of a mother to heal her. Katherine would be too caught up in her daughter's health to even think about anything else and if you re that worried let me go to watch over their interactions and report them back to you."

Henry only nodded his head in response as he pulled Anne in to a hug and kissed her forehead. He couldn't argue with her logic both Katherine and he were similar in regard to Mary with the fact that they would drop any no matter how important if their daughter needed then. All he could do was silently pray to God that whatever sin he had committed that it was not great enough to take his beloved Mary from him.

Author's Note: I hoped you liked this chapter. I tried to make Jane a bit more human and I also added in the fact that Henry wasn't completely over Katherine when he divorced her but anyways I left the chapter on a cliff-hanger and I hope that you enjoy the next chapter. Be sure to leave your thoughts in the review section down below.
