November 14th, 1501
Greenwich Palace
Princess Genevieve POV
I am twelve and am about to be a bride as I am betrothed to Prince Arthur of Wales, the next King of England, Ireland, and Wales.
I slip into my wedding gown, and we are then taken to Saint Paul's Cathedral for the wedding.
''I, Prince Arthur Tudor take thee, Princess Genevieve of Aragon to be my wedded wife, to have and to hold, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, till death do us part and thereto I plight thee my troth.'' Arthur vows.
''I, Princess Genevieve of Aragon take thee, Prince Arthur Tudor to be my wedded husband, to have and to hold, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to be Bonaire and buxom at bed and at board, till death do us part, and thereto I plight unto thee my troth.'' I vow.
''I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride.'' the priest tells us.
We kiss then the archbishop comes over and we have our coronation as Henry VII and his wife, Queen Elizabeth had passed away last night.
And we are pronounced as King Arthur II and Queen Genevieve of England, Ireland, and Wales.
My sister, Catalina of Aragon has married Edward Stafford, the Duke of Buckingham and thus a cousin once removed to Arthur.
Later that night
King's and Queen's Rooms
King Arthur II POV
I have combined one chamber into the rooms for the both of us as I don't want to be apart from my wife.
I see my wife naked and I strip from my clothing and make rough and passionate love to her (impregnating her).
I cannot wait to see how our children will look like as my wife is my ravenette beauty.
She has black hair, almond shaped ice green eyes, a heart shaped face, plump kissable lips, and a small nose.
At the same time
Edward Stafford POV
I see my beautiful Catherine and strip both of us of our clothing and make sweet and slow love to her (impregnating her).
With her looks and mine combined, our children shall be beautiful as I need heirs as I am a royal family member even if they don't recognize me as such.
November 21st, 1501
I can't get enough of my sweet Catherine and consummate our marriage every time we're alone.
I have taken her in the study, the gardens, and the secret passageways.
When the servants leave the dining room and since we have no guests, I take her again trying to make sure she is pregnant, and I love how we can make love for hours.
I get on horseback as I am needed to see to one of my properties, leaving my Catalina alone with the staff.
November 28th, 1501
King Arthur II POV
As I look at my beautiful Genevieve, I can't help but think of how lucky I am to have such a beauty as my bride, and I go over to her and kiss her passionately.
I lead us to our rooms and as soon as we're in the rooms, I make sweet love to her not caring of who hears as it is just me pleasuring my bride.
By the time we come out, it is time for dinner, and we are greeted by my little brother, Henry.
''Hey, Arthur everyone is saying you're King now. Is it true?'' ten-year-old Henry asked in a sad tone.
''I am sorry Henry but yes, it is. I know how much you loved mother and father.'' I told him.
Genevieve then hugs Henry showing him that no matter what, he has us and that will never change.
I kiss Henry's forehead and kiss Genevieve silently thanking her for comforting my little brother.
I see that she will be a great sister to my siblings and a great mother to our future children.
With mother and father dead, it leaves a hole in our family but one that Genevieve is trying to mend as she wants to help Mary, Henry, and Margaret as they grieve for mother and father.
December 1st, 1501
Hearing the news that King James IV of Scotland is looking for a bride, I send him a peace offering in a letter saying that I have two unwed sisters and one is of age to marry and shall be his bride should he accept the peace offering.
I also betroth Mary to Francis Angouleme to be married in 1508 when they reach marriage age.
And Henry I betroth to Eleanor of Austria, the three-year-old Princess and in nine years they will wed.
Queen Genevieve POV
I look at my husband who has just sent three letters to Scotland, France, and Austria and I know that it must be about his siblings as there is nothing else that comes to mind when it comes to Scotland, France, and Austria as we have yet to have any children.
With the thought of Margaret leaving us so soon, I begin to weep as I have just gotten to know her, and I don't want her to leave so soon.
Arthur comes to comfort me and tells me that it is to achieve peace with Scotland that he is betrothing his sister to the King.
I hope that he is good to her and will be a kind husband to her and that even though it is an arranged marriage like mine and Arthur's that they come to love each other like Arthur, and I have.
I tell Margaret and she is not happy and can see that I tried to reason with her brother and so is not mad at me as she knows indeed, I did try.

''Arthur please let us wait. She has just lost her mother and father and I just don't want her under any more stress.''
''I know my love, but we need this peace with Scotland, and I have already sent him the letter. She has two months to prepare and then she will become a bride.''
''But-''
''Enough! My apologies I didn't mean to yell at you. It is just the stress of it all. Do you really think I want to sell my sister in marriage? I love her but we need peace.''
''I understand.''
He kisses my forehead and shows me how sorry he is.
Flashback ends
In the end Margaret is going to marry King James IV of Scotland and there is nothing we can do about it.
A/N what do you think so far?
