Black Manor, Ireland

Jasmine Black nee Blount POV

After the birth of two daughters, I have two more chances and I know that I cannot waste them.

I go to my husband and make love to him and then leave him to betroth our daughters to whomever he chooses (is two months pregnant but doesn't know it).

Our firstborn, Rose has her father's red hair, my almond green eyes, her daddy's nose, and my oval face.

Our youngest of the twins, Sage has my blonde hair, her father's blue eyes, my nose, and her daddy's diamond face.

I go and see my babies and nurse them as they need it and I do not trust anyone else to do it.


Adam Black POV

I am writing betrothal contracts for my daughters when my wife comes in and makes passionate love to me and then leaves afterwards.

I call my friend, Seamus O'Carry in afterwards and a maid and force the maid to swallow a potion for my friend to steal her life force to make him younger as he is my daughter Rose's future husband and it wouldn't do for the groom to die before they were married.

Sage is betrothed to Lord Patrick O'Farrell who is twenty years her senior.

Seamus had been fifty years Rose's senior but is now thirty years her senior as twenty years were taken off as the maid's life force took twenty years off his body.

I call in another maid and make love to her as the two maids I made love to have given me sons and I know that Jasmine shall give me sons no matter what.


April 4th 1516

Jasmine Black nee Blount POV

I am puking my guts out so I go to the midwife as I do not know if I am with child or not.

''Congratulations my Grace. You are with child. About three months with child and so you will deliver in October. October 3rd at the latest.''

I go to my husband's study to tell him the good news as he does not like that he does not have a son to take the Duke of Cork position yet.

''Lord Husband.''

''Lady Wife. What do you need?''

''I have the most excellent news my husband. I am with child my Lord Husband.''

When Adam hears that, he picks me up and spins me around as he is happy that I might be carrying a son to continue his legacy.

He makes passionate love to me four times to where I cannot walk without a limp.

I go to my room, which is connected to the nursery and begin to sew clothes for the poor as the Queen does every fall.

I cannot wait to see how the Royal children become as their own person as I believe Crown Prince George shall be a great King.


Anna Reeves POV

I (blonde hair, hooded brown eyes, hawk nose, oval shaped face, thin lips, and pale complexion) am just a maid to the Duke and Duchess of Cork with my husband, Richard Reeves (ginger red hair, almond shaped green eyes, heart shaped face, roman nose, round lips, and tan complexion) and cannot wait to have kids of my own as I wait on the Duchess' children.

My first son shall be named after the King, George as he is the greatest King we have yet to have.

My uncle, James O'Verry (red hair, blue eyes, heart shaped face, tan complexion, button nose, and thin lips) has been known to serve the Queen as her musician and mayhap more as there are rumors of him being caught rubbing her back (just rumors).

My aunt by marriage, Samantha O'Verry nee O'Neil (black hair, almond grey eyes, pale complexion, oval face, heart shaped lips, and a roman nose) who is now with child, used to be Charles Brandon's maid until my uncle proposed to her.

My father, Daniel White (blonde hair, hooded blue eyes, round lips, hawk nose, oval face, and tan complexion), is a merchant and my mother, Rachel White nee Daniels (brown hair, upturned brown eyes, wide lips, Grecian nose, diamond shaped face, and pale complexion), a maid.

I wonder if my children will take after me or their father or if they will be a combination of both of us.

I am determined to do my best to serve Lord Adam and Lady Jasmine to my best potential.

Dear Papa,

I am now serving the Duke and Duchess of Cork so do not worry as it pays very well. I will be able to visit you when I can as I do not know when I will get my first vacation time and I will be busy with Lady Jasmine as she is with child again and she will need me for the coming months. I love you papa.

Your daughter,

Anna Reeves nee White

I wait for the ink to dry, then roll it and seal it, then send it by mail courier.

I remember the day Richard proposed to me and I smile as I know I am not that beautiful but he loves me anyway.

Flashback starts

Greenwich Palace, England

May 1st 1512

I was doing the May Pole dance when Richard stopped me as he wanted to talk to me.

I was confused as to what he wanted to speak to me about as I am not that pretty when suddenly, he drops to his knee and proposes to me in front of both our families, not to mention the Royal Family.

I accept and we marry on the twenty-first of June, a month and twenty days after his proposal.

We had the whole week off for our wedding week and then we worked for the Duke of Florence, William BĂȘte.

But then, he hired new employees who did not like us and we had to move.

Flashback ends

And now, we serve Lord Adam Black and are thought of as thieves.

We tell the Duke and Duchess of Cork what truly happened and they believe us as Anne BĂȘte did but William did not.

Hopefully Anne does not have a hard time at home because of us.
