Family above all

Sara felt that as long as Charles was looking out for her, Katherine was safe, however she received a very disturbing letter informing her of the last events that had took place, and in the letter Charles wrote.

My dearest Sara: I am so sorry the news I have for you aren't the best. Henry has decided to banish the queen from court, of course under the influence of the evil Boleyn, but he is now desperate to annul his marriage to her, so that he declared himself head of the Church of England as I'm sure your husband has already told you. I had to notify her of this and it broke my heart to see her leave, I truly believe she is my queen and as long as she lives my heart will only acknowledge her as that. I am so sorry if you believe I've failed you again my angel, but I have a family as well and I did as much I could without risking endangering them.

With great sorrow,

Charles Brandon.

Do you see? Everything is wrong, I have to go there and try and talk some sense into Henry – Sara said while Anthony read the letter.

You didn't even tell me you corresponded with Charles. – Anthony said

I am telling you that my brother is wasting his life away and all you can't think of is that I wrote Charles as lousy letter?

It is not just a letter, he calls you my angel! Why does he call you that?

I honestly don't care, all I care for is my family and Henry is that... I have to save him somehow and even if I cannot do that, I have to be there when this all ends badly and he has no one to turn to. – she said walking back and forth through the room

He'll always have Charles to be there for him, you have a family her and we all need you. – Anthony replied not willing to let her go, he was afraid that all of this was a scam from Charles to get her back, he couldn't bear the thought of losing her. She saw he was very upset and held his hand in hers and she sat next to him.

I know what upsets you darling, but you must understand I only want to take care of those I love, allow me to do that. Besides I am your wife, I am yours and no one else's.

Sometimes I think you still love him, it keeps me awake at night.

He's Arthur father and for that he'll always be in my heart. But I have never been happier than I have been all this years with you... you gave the happiness I very much needed and you have to trust in me and my love now, for I trusted in yours a long time ago. Please, I'm asking you something not for me but for the king, for the sake of the whole realm of England

I now you better than anyone Sara Tudor and I know you will stay if I forbid you from going, but you will never forgive me for doing so. I will agree for you to go down to court, but please do your duty and come back to us. – she hugged him and kissed him

I will always come back to you no matter what, for you are my home now and forever.

When Sara arrived to court she instantly went to see Henry, who was very much surprised to see her.

My Beloved Sister, I am so happy to see you here. But, it's everything alright with you? – Henry said, greeting her in the court room

All is surely fine, is it wrong for a sister to pay visit to her brother?

It is when the sister is married and she comes without her husband or her children

You know very well why I came, my lord

Then I suppose it's better to discuss this matter privately don't you think Lady Sara – Said Henry and they both retreated to his private chambers.

You banished Katherine from court? – Sara said sounding offended

She lied to me. Our marriage was never valid, you know that better than anyone, or weren't you Arthur's confident.

What?

It's obvious you will never tell the truth, you always loved him more than you loved me... you even name your son after him... but of course it is also best for you if I never have a male heir, for then you son Arthur would be king. That's what you want isn't it!

No! In case you never have a son it wouldn't be Arthur who inherits your kingdom, it would Mary and if you don't want approve her in your succession line then the kingdom would be Edward's for he is Margaret's son. But of course you trust Brandon more than you trust me. – She replied to which Henry hugged her in despair.

I'm in love with her Sara and all I want is to have a happy life with the woman I love. Why is it so hard?

Because you already have a wife. Henry kings aren't supposed to love as women aren't supposed to love either, we are supposed to care for our families interest's or our people's sake.

With what party do you side? Me or the Spaniards?

You of course, for you are my king and my older brother and I owe obedience to both.

But not because you agree with me?

Katherine is been like a mother to me; you know I never knew our mother so it's natural for me to care. Just I beseech you to remember she is and elder lady alone in a country that isn't hers.

Ah! Why everyone is always trying to portray Katherine as and helpless lady? When we all know she has the strength to crush us with her fist if she's ever given the chance

Then don't give her a reason to want to crush us!

I should have you beheaded for the way you dare to speak to me!

But you'll never do that for you know I am the only one true to you, me and Charles are the only fools in this kingdom who would give up everything to serve you and that would never put personal gain above it... because we are the only fools that still believe that family is above it all

Don't ever leave me Sara – Henry said

I'm not going anywhere Henry; I am here, forever here by your side. – Sara hugged her brother and stayed like that for a few minutes then she walked out of the private rooms and walked to her chambers in court, as she went through the hall ways she could see the Boleyn observing her, knowing she was a bigger threat than they had supposed, believing they could crush every single enemy they ever had was the Boleyn bigger mistake, for they could never crush Sara. No one ever could.
