Queen's Chambers, Hampton Palace, England
Queen Jasmina Potter POV
I come back from the midwife with the news that I am with child with the heir to the throne of England.
I look in the mirror, my raven black hair in a bun with strands of hair purposefully hanging from it and my emerald eyes showing their beauty as the maids put a shade of eyeshadow that makes them pop out.
Henry comes in and I prepare to tell him the news.
''Henry, I have some great news my love.'' I say.
''And what is this great news? Did your brother find a bride?''
''I am with child my love.'' I say and Henry smiles, picks me up and spins me around. Henry gets to his knees and kisses my stomach and puts his ear to it as if he could hear the baby.
''Also Siriana has feeings for Prince Carlos.'' I say and Henry has a few thoughts as Siriana is related to the French Royals but someone had committed a crime and blamed Siriana's father and they were banished from France.
''Since Siriana is related to royalty, she can marry Carlos when she's 12 my love.'' Henry says.
I know soon that Siriana will have a good life and won't be made to marry the one who wants to betray Henry. I shall do anything for Siriana as she's my dear little cousin.

King's Study
King Henry VIII POV
I write to the Spanish Royalty with a marriage contract for Carlos and my distant cousin as she would make a great Queen for Carlos in four years. Hopefully, they will agree and Siri shall be married to a great Prince.
Suddenly, Jasmina comes in and comforts me.
''What will happen will happen my love. Only God chooses and knows these things. I wish I could help you more but my mother raised me to know that God chooses what shall happen.'' she says.
I hug her in thanks as I needed to hear that as I worry about my family, even distant cousins.
I then think of Mary as she should be a wife and a mother by now. I send a betrothal contract to Francois, Count of Angouleme and next in line to the throne of France.
Mary might be mad at first but she will be taken care of and might even a Queen of France should King Louis XII die without a son.
Queen Marie of France sounds amazing and I know that she's meant to be France's Queen somehow.
I hope Francois accepts the contract. Two weeks pass and then I get Francois' response He accepts Mary as his future wife gladly and shall come in a week's time for the marriage to take place.

Groom's Rooms
Marie Tudor POV
To know that I am to get married today to someone who isn't Charles saddens me and I want to run away with Charles. But they have people guarding door in the case that I would run.
I go through with the wedding and become Princess Marie Valois, the Countess of Angouleme and should the King of France die, the next Queen of France.
We leave for France and I say my goodbyes to my family.
September 15th 1509
Siriana's Chambers
Lady Siriana Malfoy POV
After Marie left, I cried as I thought I lost a cousin forever all because of marriage. Hopefully, Jasmina has kept quiet about my feelings for Carlos. Oh, this is Jasmina we are taking about. Of course, she told him! And I will be a laughingstock in a week. Maybe I could obliviate the memory and then I won't be England's laughingstock. But then I realize the problem is I don't know when she told him.
I can't just erase months of his life. But I don't want to be embarrassed. What should I do?
