December 25 1515
Greenwich Palace, England
Queen Nadine POV
I have heard the news of my sister Clara's first husband's death, her second marriage as she was still Queen as she was carrying Bogislaw's child, her second husband's coronation, and her miscarriage.
I sent my father to investigate what exactly happened as Clara might have killed Bogislaw and I have yet to hear from him.
With Beryl and Primrose with child, I need to make sure Clara knows her role as a Queen.
I do not mean to sound harsh but with my reigns as Queen, I need to make sure she knows how to be a great Queen and when to shut her eyes.
In knowing that Norway will not take a Queen that questions everything her spouse and King does.

Palace Courtroom
King George I POV
I see my lovely wife worry over what the silence from her father could mean as she sent him to Norway but then I see Raphael enter the courtroom.
''What have you found out?''
''Clara did not poison Bogislaw. His poisoner was none other than his sister Catherine, and she will be dealt with as she has killed a King.''
I see Nadine (Isabella) sag with relief as she did not want to call for her sister's beheading.
''What of her miscarriage? Or her marriage to this Thor character?''
''She had drunk a bit of the wine and thus she miscarried. And Thor is the son of Thor Ericson, Bogislaw's closest friend. Bogislaw felt something may happen to him and so asked his friend's son to marry his wife should she still be with child when he died. And Queen Clara is with child once more.''
With hearing that, we are satisfied and the Court of England recognizes that the killer of Bogislaw is not Clara but Catherine, the sister of the deceased King of Norway.

Somerset Manor
Mary Seymour nee Boleyn
I go to my husband and while he is making marriage contracts for the other four as we decided Cecily shall wed Edmund, the future Duke of Cleves.
Ruth, he hopes to marry to Jasper Mair, Duke of Montrose who is twenty years Ruth's senior.
Lucien, he is trying to betroth in a contract to the unborn babe of Antonio and Primrose Garcia if a girl.
Thomas, to the newborn daughter of the Irish Viscount William Preston, Grace Preston who is to become Grace Seymour nee Preston.
And finally, Nicholas, who Edward wants betrothed to William Herbert's daughter, Nadine Herbert.
With seeing Edward is done with that, I kiss him passionately and he removes our clothing, and we make passionate love five times (conceiving child/ren) and then redress.
I leave, letting him go back to his paperwork and for me to go back to knitting clothes to the poor.
February 4th 1516
Greenwich Palace
King George I POV
I invite King Thor and Queen Clara to come to England for the celebration ball for their marriage as we did not get to be there for their wedding.
They agree and they say they will be here within a month as they have duties to attend to.
Oh, I know how that is as I need convene the court to hear the people's cases and see who is lying and who is speaking the truth.
After that, I have to train the Knights to fight for any possibility of war, not to mention going to every town to see if they have enough food, water, and jobs so they can pay the taxes.
At first, I also had to worry about my wife producing an heir but now that she has given me six sons and maybe more, I never have to worry again unless my wife's enemies are successful in poisoning our children.
I hope that this pregnancy goes well as the last one was taxing on her body.
We never told anyone as she had been fine at first, but then she had started bleeding and the physician and midwife came in, seen the blood and rushed everyone out so they could stop the bleeding.
Her fertility wasn't affected and so, she could continue having kids until her body cannot handle another birth and she is rendered infertile.
But that isn't now as she is very fertile as I see her eight-month round stomach carrying our children.

Queen's Chambers
Queen Nadine POV
I am humming to my stomach as in a few months, Henry, Edward, and Eric are to join their siblings at Hatfield House and are to come back only for special occasions.
Oh, how I hate being away from my children as Beauregard, George, Mary, Elizabeth, Artemis, and Arthur are away at Hatfield and I rarely see them.
My babes are expected on the seventh of March, only a few days away at the most.
Oh, I cannot wait to welcome them into the world and no doubt it will be another multiple birth.
March 3rd 1516
Queen's Chambers
I am sitting in my rocking chair, knitting for the poor when my husband comes in to tell me King Thor and my sister, Queen Clara have arrived.
As well as Primrose and Antonio Garcia and Beryl and Hans Wolff.
Apparently, their ships docked within minutes of each other and with Primrose and Beryl five months along, they shall have to stay until the babes are born.
Throne Room
I enter the throne room and go to my throne as George will not let me bow when I am this heavily pregnant.
I greet everyone with the formality a Queen shows.
''We present clothes for the babe or babes that you are carrying along with two presents for King George as well as yourself, Your Majesty.'' King Thor and Queen Clara say.
They present George with a male wolf pup which he names Fenrir and they give me a female wolf pup from a different litter who I name Ruby.
Before Primrose and Antonio can present their presents, I begin to have cramps and I realize that I am having contractions when I stand up and my water breaks.
George rushes me to my rooms/birthing chambers and calls for the midwife and wants to stay but as is tradition, he is told to get out and to wait out in the hallway.
He leaves just as the midwife comes in and after seeing how far the babe is, tells me to wait to push as I am only five centimeters.
King George I POV
I am pacing back and forth as I hear my wife groan as she is not yet ready to push as she only started getting the contractions a few minutes ago.
As I am thinking of how my wife is, Thor comes to me to ask me a question.
''King George, perchance do you happen to have a sister?''
''Yes, why do you ask?''
''Well Norwegian law states that the King may have two Queens and I need a second Queen.''
''You may marry her as long as you treat her like the Queen she will be.''
''I thank you.''
Thor and my sister, Ingrid marry with Charles Brandon and his wife Luna as their witnesses as I am still pacing after ten hours of hearing my wife groan and now, she is screaming as she is giving birth.
Queen's Room's/Birthing Chambers
Sarah Cromwell nee de Flores POV
''Push my Queen push.'' I tell the Queen.
She pushes and pushes until a baby boy comes out and then another boy is born.
She pushes until 5 more babes in total are born into the world.
Queen Nadine has given birth to four princes and three princesses and I leave her to tell King George the good news.
Hallway
I find the King pacing and once he sees me, I know what he is about to ask me so I tell him the answers.
''Her Majesty is fine and so are the babes. And yes, I said babes there are seven before you ask. And yes, you may go in.''
I see him bolt into the room and I know that I have done my job and go to my chambers until I am needed.
King George I POV
When I go into the room, I see my Queen of my heart, Nadine nursing one of our babes and I also see ribbons on the babes left wrists showing which ones are the sons and which are the daughters and on the right wrists showing in which order they were born.
Platinum for first-born, gold for second, silver for third, bronze for fourth, cobalt blue for fifth, emerald green for sixth, and ruby red for seventh.
''The first son shall be named Frederick, Duke of Killarney, the second-born shall be named Gideon, Duke of Rochford, the third son and fourth-born of the babes shall be named Daniel, Duke of Londonderry, and the youngest of the sons but fifth-born shall be named James, Duke of Kent.''
''And our daughters shall be named Morgana, Duchess of Edinburgh, Guinevere, Duchess of Skye, and Angelique, Duchess of Windsor.''
With that, I leave my wife to recover from the birthing as giving birth to seven children must be hard.
March 4th 1516
General POV
The bells were ringing as town criers cried out the news.
''Hear ye, hear ye, Queen Nadine the first has given birth to Prince Frederick, Duke of Killarney, Prince Gideon, Duke of Rochford, Princess Morgana, Duchess of Edinburgh, Prince Daniel, Duke of Londonderry, Prince James, Duke of Kent, Princess Guinevere, Duchess of Skye, and Princess Angelique, Duchess of Windsor.''
With the news that the Queen succeeded again and now she has given the King ten sons, the enemies are ready to go even further to kill Queen Nadine and her sons more than ever as they believe someone else should be Queen.
Someone like Princess Diana of Scotland, who is now married to Eric Gavin, Duke of Lourdes and is now Duchess of Lourdes, would be more preferable than the witch who is sitting on the Queen's throne right now.
At least in her enemies minds she would be.
March 7th 1516
