The first things that Anne noticed when she woke up were strong arms that were wrapped around her. At first she thought it was Henry holding her like he did in the first year of their marriage. But then she remembered everything. Arms around her belonged to her enemy and husband. She tried to get out of bed without waking him up, but as soon as she moved she felt his arms tighten around her.

"Good morning, Anne."He mumbled against her shoulder. She hated that he called her by first name.

"Will you let go of me so that I can get out of bed?"

"If you insist"

"As the matter of fact, I do."As she said that he finally let her go. She felt instant relief.

"I will call your maids. You have to look your best today. After all, this day is very important to our family."

"What is today?"Anne asked dreading the answer.

"Today, my dear, is King's wedding to our dear sister Jane. Can you imagine how exciting must that be, wedding to a King?" Edward said mocking her.

"We all know, my lord, that King won't be interested in her longer, she is too boring and plain to hold man's attention." She answered him trying to stay calm and composed, but in truth she was burning inside.

"Maybe, but by that time she will have a son, so she will be secure."As he said that he turned to leave.

"I won't go to the wedding. You can't make me." Anne yelled after him.

"But I can, my dear."He said and come closer to her.

"I will drag you if I must, but you are coming to the wedding." He stroked her cheek gently as he spoke

"King's orders. And I'm sure that you wish to see your daughter."

"Elizabeth is coming?"

"Of course, she is King's daughter, is she not?"

"She is, Elizabeth is true Tudor, unlike any child that your milk-faced sister will give to King."

"I must recommend you not to speak like that about future Queen, someone may hear you."

"I don't care; I only want to see my daughter."

"You will see her if you come to the wedding."

It wasn't a grand affair, but it was larger than Anne's first wedding. Anne watched as Henry and Jane stood together before the priest. Hall was full of guest's and the majority of them looked happy. Anne wanted to burst into tears and run away, but she knew that if she did that she wouldn't see her darling Elizabeth.

As Henry and Jane said their vows Edward took Anne's hand. He felt little sorry for her so he tried to comfort her. He saw that she was trying to stay calm, but he could see tears in the corner of her eyes. At that moment, she looked so vulnerable and young. He remembered how he felt when he discovered that his beloved wife Catherine was having an affair with his own father. He felt pain like never, Surely Anne felt that way now. He gave her hand a light squeeze in hope to comfort her a little. Nobody deserves to feel that way.

When Jane and Henry finished their first dance as man and wife everybody clapped to them. Anne felt as nobody noticed her, well anybody except her husband, but she would rather have him not noticing her either. She was grateful that he held her hand through the ceremony, but that didn't mean that she hated him any less.

She felt his gaze on her almost through the feast.

"When can I see my daughter?"

"Tomorrow."

"But you said..."

"I said that you can see her if you come to wedding, but I never said that you can see her today."

"I really hate you."She hissed

Suddenly the music stopped.

"My beloved Queen and I will retire, but everybody is free to stay at the feast and drink to Queen's healthy," Henry said

Anne watched as he and Jane walked away to consummate their marriage. She felt as something was breaking inside her.

"O God."She whispered. Tears were once again in her eyes, but she refused to let them fall before all these people.

"Come, Anne, it's our time to retire, after all we are a newly married couple," Edward said and took her hand. Anne came with him willingly. She hoped that he will make her forget about everything at least for a while like he did tonight. She hated Edward Seymour, but he was good at making her forget.
