"Oh my darling, I missed you so much," Anne said as she hugged her beloved daughter.
"I missed you too mama," Elizabeth said in a sweet voice.
"You have grown so much; I will have to send you new gowns. Would you like new gowns?"
"Oh yes, mama." Elizabeth was happy; her mother always sends her best gifts.
Anne was so happy that she could see her darling Elizabeth. She was so afraid that she won't see her again and that her little girl will grow up believing that her mother was an evil woman.
"I love you, Elizabeth, you must always remember that." Anne would always be grateful that she got one more chance to say these words to her daughter.
"I love you too mama."
When former Queen of England looked in eyes of her daughter she saw what kind of person she wanted to be, a person that her daughter will be proud to call mother.
At this moment, Elizabeth was the only bright spot in her life, and Anne will always be grateful to God for a gift that He gave her.
"Come, darling, let's walk through gardens. Would you love that?"
"Oh yes, mama."
They spent an entire afternoon in gardens chasing each other and playing all sort of games.
When they finally sat at the small bench near pound Elizabeth asked her mother a question that was bothering her.
"Why aren't you Queen anymore mama?
"Because we are no longer married to each other. Have you met new Queen?"
"But why mama? I did, but you will always be the best Queen to me."
"You will understand when you get older. I'm very glad that you think so highly of me, but you must always respect new Queen. Do you understand?"
"I do."
"I'm glad." As much as she would like her daughter to hate Jane, Anne knew that if she wished Elizabeth to stay at Henry's good graces that she must treat Jane as Queen.

Edward didn't know what to do with himself. He couldn't stop thinking about Anne. He should hate her; she was scheming, manipulative, loud, flirty, ambitious woman. But in this few days he met another side of her, her more human side. He saw her breaking as she watched her ex-husband getting remarried, he saw her angry, happy and excited about seeing her daughter, he heard her passionate moans under him, her saw real Anne Boleyn. People thought that she seduced King to get the crown; he thought it too, until he saw tears in her eyes at King's wedding. Now he knew the truth, she was just a woman in love. And that bothered him a lot more than to think that she was a just ambitious harlot. He felt his stomach tying in knots as he thought about Anne loving King.
After realizing that he just can't concentrate and do anything worth he decided to find Anne, after all, he didn't saw her since morning.
When he got to their chambers, servants told him that Lady Beauchamp was with her daughter in gardens. Edward decided that it was a good time to meet his stepdaughter.
When he got to gardens he saw another side of Anne, a loving mother.
She was chasing her little daughter who squealed from delight. At that moment, his wife looked so beautiful. Her long raven locks were spread across her glorious shoulders. She was blushed from all running and lifting Elizabeth, but what enchanted him the most was her smile. This wasn't fake like the rest that he saw on the face of former Queen. This smile made her look like a young and innocent girl.
"You're Highness, my Lady." He said, making his presence known
"My lord," Elizabeth said and nodded her head.
"I'm very pleased to meet you, Princess."
"Elizabeth, this is Edward Seymour, Viscount of Beauchamp, my husband, and your stepfather." Anne introduced him.
"I'm very happy to meet you. Do you love my mother?"
Edward didn't know what to answer. He couldn't love her, she was in some way his enemy, but deep down in himself he felt that he was starting to fall for. After all, King has lost his heart to her, who was he to remain untouched by her charm?
"I like your mother very much Princess."
"Then I like you, my Lord."
