Chapter 53
June 25th 1509
Westminster London
Kingdom of England
King Henry VIII the 2nd Monarch of the Tudor Dynasty sat back on his Throne next to his wife the beautiful Spanish Princess now Queen of England Catherine of Aragon, the Court was a hive of entertainment what they did not expect was a man in the Armour of a Spartan Officer is face shrouded by a white hood to appear before them in a burst of White Light.
"Greetings King of England I bring a message from her Divine Majesty the Immortal Queen."
Henrys best friend and trusted confidant Charles Brandon grabbed one of the Swords decorating the wall of the Court placing himself between His King and Queen and the Spartan.
"Make one move Monster and ill kill you were you stand"
The now standing officer merely smiled at the young court member with a mere wave of his hand the Blade disintegrated to dust much to the shock of the entire court.
"Do calm yourself Mr Brandon had I wanted you or your king dead you would never have seen me Afterall lets face it you are not much of a challenge. Your majesty I am only here to deliver a message from my Queen nothing more".
Not wanting to start a brawl or massacre in his own palace the King stood from his Throne much to his wife's worry, "Very well hand me this message from your Queen the leave my Kingdom"
The Spartan done just that he gave the King a salute before once again vanishing in a flash of White Light leaving a dumfounded English Court, sitting back on his Throne Henry opened the letter from the Mysterious immortal Queen.
To his Majesty
King henry VIII
I congratulate you on your coronation an marriage to the Daughter of the legendary Isabella however I write to you to warn you about France King Louis XII has been sending feelers out to see the reaction to his plans to push your forces completely out of France if you do not agree to peace with him like your father did.
Also be aware of the two members of your council you arrested Sir Richard Empson and Edmund Dudley have powerful friends I recommend that you kill them before they tear your realm apart in civil war.
You may wonder why I give you this information it is quite simple your Grandmother asked me to watch over you as we are old friends, I also supported your father with his war for the Throne with Spartan Gold and Greek mercenaries.
I will leave you with one last warning young King beware the Duke of Buckingham.
Yours sincerely
Kassandra Agiad
immortal Queen of the Spartan Empire
Queen Consort of the Amazonians
Pharaoh of Egypt
Henry sat there as he handed the letter to his Wife before turning to his chancellor to have the two members of the council executed, he would also keep an eye on his Duke of Buckingham his fathers work to build this Dynasty would not end with him.
However, his grandmother knew the Queen of Sparta that was an interesting development he would have to speak to her about it.
Later that night
The King of England walked into his Grandmothers chambers she was sitting in front of a fire but before he could say a word to her, she had beaten him to it.
"You wish to know how I know the Queen of Sparta my King"
"How could you have possibly known that Grandmother" Henry asked completely shocked that she knew exactly what he had come to ask her she lifted a letter with a spartan Seal on it.
"I still keep in contact with Kassandra while your father was not to keen on keeping good relations with her even thought it was her Gold he used to pay for his Army as well as her mercenaries but I refused to accept his blatant dismissal of her aid."
For the next Hour Henry sat there in shock as his grandmother told him of visiting the Empire before he was born visiting the mysterious lands of Egypt the naval city of Byzantium the cities of Persia even the Capital of Sparta itself.
A capital that dwarfed London hell the City of Kassandria in Egypt had a population of 1 million People that called it home the royal family were well loved and respected by its citizens with the immortal Queens 3 Daughter's ruling over 3 Cities.
Before he left, she handed him a book saying that it was only to be read by a worthy Monarch and not to disappoint her.
Looking down at the Book he read the title (the truth about Christ. By Richard the Lionheart)
Henry would to his own shock not read the book until his Daughter Mary was born it would be then he would seek to change the balance of power in Europe he would have to do it slowly as the people of England were Catholics and any attempt to break from Rome could cause Civil-War.
Kassandria Egypt
The Great Library
Princess Diana was overseeing dispute an Author was causing chaos in the Library apparently, he was displeased that his Book was not being accepted into the Library's archives.
"This is Camel shit I wrote this book I demand I be compensated for my labour".
Diana looked at the book and to her shock it was in Egyptian specificity from the Old Kingdom it was what she read though made her Spartan Blood Boil.
"So, tell me you wrote this book citizen" the weasel of a man nodded his head thinking the Duchess believed his lie, "yes my princess it says my travels of the Sands of Egypt"
He regretted his choice of words immediately when the Duchess unleashed her Goddess form like her mothers could. "You dare lie to me Mortal you have stolen this from the valley of the Kings this belongs to the Pharaoh Tuthmosis I you are a grave robber and will suffer the fate of grave robbers.
The man was dragged Screaming through the streets of the Capital as citizens jeered and spat at him cursing his family as grave robbers as city Guards Dragged him to the city barracks to be interrogated by the mages.
It was also on this day Diana would task a division of the Medjay to garrison troops at the valley of the Kings After all when Queen Kassandra took the Throne of Egypt, she made a promise to the gods and her new subjects to protect the tombs of their dead Pharaohs.
Sparta
Kassandra was witnessing a change in the west the hidden magical communities were unifying into magical nation states she predicted that it would take a few centuries until they truly united into something worthy or something so backwards it would be laughable, she would just have to wait and see.
(Authors note: hey people hope you like it the chapter until next time.
P.S the SRU stands for the Silk Road Union an organisation started by Queen Kassandra unifying Sparta China japan and now India in an economic and military pact that will stand against forces such as the ICW.
