A/N: Now, this time, well, just wait and see. Without anymore rambling, I give you, Chapter 48 of Edward's Reign!

October 1556

"Her Highness, the Princess Jane Tudor!" The double doors opened, and Jane entered. When she reached the thrones, she curtseyed, deeply, to her father and Elizabeth "Papa. Aunt Elizabeth" Jane looked to Anne, and did not curtsey "Madame," Anne did not even nod in acknowledgement, she ignored Jane completely, and Edward lifted Jane onto his lap, smiling.

"My daughter, Princess Jane," Edward began "is to receive her own household, at Hatfield. Away from the lies and deceit of court life, and away from people who might want to harm her," here Edward cast a swift glare to Anne, before raising his goblet "To the Princess Jane,"

"To the Princess Jane!" everyone, except Anne chorused, raising their goblets.

"The Princess Jane will move into her new household in February of next year, and it will become her perminant residence," Edward continued "And any children I should have, will have households of their own,"

Jane smiled, happily at her father, showing a toothy grin. Elizabeth smiled, thank goodness Edward wasn't like their father, and was willing to give Anne another chance...

Mary Knollys watched the scene, smiling, happily, whatever her first-cousin, Elizabeth was thinking, she was completely wrong, completely, completely wrong.

"Her Majesty, Mary, Queen of Scotland and the Isles!" The double doors opened and Mary Stuart, the Queen of Scotland and the Isles, entered. When she reached the throne she curtseyed and Edward rose, kissing her on each cheek in acknowldgement, as they pulled away Edward whispered "Can I see you tonight?"

Mary Stuart gave a smile, and nodded, a small, discreet nod, that was hardly noticable but both Mary Knollys, Jane, Elizabeth and Anne all noticed it. Anne frowned, and Elizabeth looked troubled, Mary Knollys gave a small smile, and Jane giggled, clapping her hands childishly.

Mary Stuart gave a small wave to the Princess Jane and she waved back, smiling.

Edward smiled, watching the scene unfold. At least his daughter was getting along with one Queen, if not the current Queen Consort of England, Ireland and France. Perhaps one Queen could replace another?

Edward smiled, a large grin, to Mary Stuart, who smiled back.

"What do you think of Mary Stuart?" Henry Knollys asked Mary Knollys.

"I think," she began "that she might be just what The King, The Princess Jane and the Princess Elizabeth need,"

"Hmm," he replied "I think so too,"

Mary regarded her brother with a small nod
