Two weeks had somehow passed blissful for Anne since she gave herself to Henry. They seem to spend a lot of time together, things like playing cards to reading books. Though most of the time they weren't alone because Charles was with them to protect the reputation of Anne's. A week ago her brother George was made the Duke of Rochford and now was he could be found at court. With him living at court made Anne really happy because she could see him every day because they were really close. Recently Anne got two new ladies'-in-waiting and their names were Nan Seville and Madge Shelton. At this moment Anne was running a brush through her raven locks in her chambers when sudden loud knocking brought her out of her thoughts.

"Yes?" She asked has she put down her brush and turned around as Madge came in.

"My lady you got letter from Dowager Princess of Wales and note from King"

"Thank you Madge."

Anne firstly opened Katherine's letter.

'My dearest friend,

My feelings are mixed. On one side I'm glad that you got Henry's attention and love, and then on the other side it pains me to hear that he loves another. I know that you will do your best to help my daughter. There is nothing more that I want than to see my sweet Mary. I have to say to you to be careful around Seymour's. You are threat to them and they may try to get rid of you. I beg you to be careful.

Be safe,

Your friend

Katherine'

Anne put letter down thoughtful. She wanted to help Mary but she wasn't sure how Henry would react. She quickly read Henry's note. It said that he wanted her to go to hunt with him. She smiled at thought of being with him.

Henry waited for Anne in courtyard. As always Charles will be with them to protect Anne's reputation. He already heard that rumors were circling. As much as he wanted to protect her; he knew that soon everybody will know about them. He made Jane start her lay in early. He was happy, he expected heir and had woman he loved, but part of him wished that he met Anne earlier. Last week he made Anne's brother a Duke, and he saw that Seymour's weren't pleased. He could see that they expected to gain some titles too, but until Jane gave had given birth to son they won't get any. Charles told him that people called Jane a harlot and concubine. He felt little sorry for her. It wasn't her fault that he fell in love with Anne; she was good wife but too boring. Then he saw Anne. She walked like Queen, dressed in dark blue riding habit. She had small hat with feather on her head.

"My love, you look beautiful," He said as he kissing her hand. Oh, how he wanted to kiss her on the lips, but he was afraid that someone will see them.

"Thank you, you look rather handsome too."

"You are just saying that to flatter me Anne," He smiled

"Maybe and maybe not," She returned smile to him, but then her face grew serious.

"I have to talk with you about something."

"What it is my love?"

"Well you gave me permission to exchange letters with Dowager Princess of Wales and I was thinking why you won't let her see her daughter. Maybe Lady Mary could visit her."

"Absolutely not, she will poison Mary's mind against me. Both of them have to be punished for their disobedient."

"Mary is your daughter."

"She is nothing but a bastard!" He yelled

"Our children will be bastards too!" Anne yelled back and rushed away from him,

/

Anne furiously stormed in her chambers.

"Leave me alone," She said to her maid's .How angry she was at Henry. She hated word bastard. It hurt her that her children will be bastards. If Henry treated Mary, who was Pearl of his world once, how he will threat their children then. Suddenly chamber doors flew open and Henry stormed in.

"You can't go away like that Anne, I am King of England, and you have to respect me!" He yelled

"I will respect you when you deserve my respect and now you didn't deserve it."

"What do you want woman? I gave title to you and your brother. "

"I want you to treat your daughter like she deserves."

"She deserves this."

"No, she is just a child. If you treat her like this how will you treat our child," Anne said and her voice broken. Henry rushed to her and embraced her.

"Oh Anne, our child will have everything."

"Can you at least let Mary to write to her?"

"Alright Anne, but all letters must be seen by you first, and if you find something suspicious you must report it to me. Do you understand me?"

"Yes, I did," Anne said and kissed him.

"Now, shall we go to that hunt?" Henry playfully asked

/

Jane was lying in her bed .She was so sick of just lying all day and she had four more months. Her brother Edward told her that Henry was spending most of his time with Boleyn Harlot, but she tried her best to remain calm for child's sake. Henry visited her almost every day, but his visits were short and he looked distant. Only time that she saw affection in his eyes was when he touched her belly .She hoped that she was carrying boy ,because if she didn't Henry may go back to his Spanish dried up wife .If she had a boy she would be safe and she will Henry's love once again. Oh how she wanted to go back to days of their courtship. Suddenly her brother walked in.

"Jane, how do you feel?"

"I'm good."

'Good. You better pray that you have son, because your husband has gone once again with Boleyn woman to hunt."

"Is she his mistress?-

"I don't know, most of time Charles Brandon is with them."

"I am sure that she is husband steeling whore like her sister."

"You mustn't say anything to him Jane; you must be obeying wife and look at the other way."

Month passed since Katherine sent letter to Lady Anne and she still hadn't got respond. She was sewing when Elizabeth Darrell walked in with smile on her face.

"You got letter your Majesty."

Catherine took it. It was from Mary .Happiness overcame her. She quickly opened it.

'My dearest mother,

My father finally allowed me to write to you thanks to Lady Anne's encouragement. I can't describe you how much happiness I felt when she wrote to me telling me that from now on I can exchange letters with you. My only wish now is to see you. How I miss you mother. I miss your gentle words, your kisses and hugs that make my day better, your laugh that sounds like music in my ears. My dear mother, only memories of your words make easier for me to endure all this hardships. How are you? Are they treating you with respect? Do you have everything you need? I can't wait to receive letter from you.

Your loyal daughter

Mary, Princess of Wales'

Katherine cried as she read her daughter's letter. She made mental note to pray for Lady Anne to thank her for this good dead.

Anne and Henry were in his chambers playing cards. They were lovers for two months.

"You will not win this time Anne," Henry said squeezing her free hand.

"You said that last time." She smirked

"You won only because I let you."

-"don't think so."

"We will see."

Game was quite intense, but at the end Henry won.

"I told you that you wouldn't win," He said and kissed her

"Next time I will," She answered and bit his lip.

-You are such fighter my love.-He mumbled in her dark hair.

"Always…I have to tell you something."

"What is it?" He asked concerned

"Well, Jane is due in two months and I was thinking that it would be for best if I wasn't at court then."

"She will have to deal with that, you are my lover and you will stay."

"It isn't because of her. I know that she is your wife but it hurts me to see her give you a child. I don't want to see that .And I wish to see Kitty too .I misses her."

"As much as it hurts me to let you, I will grant your wish, but promise me that you will come back no matter of what."

"I promise you," She said and kissed him
