England:
1536
Arthur Kirkland observed his King from a safe distance as he prepared himself for his wedding.
His third so far.
With one wife divorced and another executed, Arthur pondered what fate was in store for Jane Seymour, the Queen-to-be if the King grew tired of her.
Still, Arthur wasn't going to say or do anything that would indicate an aversion to the wedding and/or the union. His duty lay with the King and Country after all.
Besides, Arthur had to be fair to Henry, his main priority wasn't just to get a Queen who would suit his opinions on what a wife should be like; he was also interested (and pining) for a male heir. Something which neither of his first two wives had given him.
-Ah, there You are England, Henry said when he caught a glimpse of him in the mirror. Come forth, come forth.
-Anxious about this wedding, Sire? Asked Arthur politely as he walked closer.
-Well, you know what they say; third time's a charm.
Author's notes:
Did they use the Expression "Third time's a charm" in 1500s England? Or anywhere else for that matter?
