I am also looking for a beta to proof read my story please message me if anyone is interested
Today is the day, the day that I am to wed the duke of Suffolk. I would be lying if I said I was calm, my heart is beating like the wings of a bird. This is something that I was not aware that could happen as I am not accustom to this type of feeling, the duke is a handsome man that is for sure but what will he want from me it is true that I do want children and as most girls my age have been married for a long time and have their own children this is something that I do want my own children.
My nerves rise in me when the lady's tell of the wedding night it sound horrible why anyone would want to copulate is beyond me when I tell them this they smile knowingly as they help me into my wedding gown, I look at myself in the mirror I am shocked at how beautiful I look the material is made of silver cloth with gold thread patterns sowed in as well as they there are many many pearls sowed into the dress I look like a glittering angel with my hair loose around my face the herald called
"His majesty the king"
All of the lady's curtsies low, my father is looking at me with an odd look on his face
"Mary you look like a woman just like your mother when she first came to England, when I was just a boy but I remember the beauty that she was and now you will outshine every other woman at the court tonight" the king spoke not braking eye contact with his daughter
"I thank you father" Mary replies not sure of what to say, her father no longer talks about her mother if he can help it.
The king looked at her for some time before seeming to remember why he came to see his daughter, he motioned to a servant to come forwards who held out a small cushion with a tiara on it, it was covered in many, many diamonds
"I had this made for you from the gems you mother brought from Spain" the king explained as a lady came forwards and attached it to Marys head
"There you look ever inch a princess of England now" the king said proudly
As Mary looked at her reflection her thought, no I look like a queen.
The Spanish ambassador was the one who was to walk her down the aisle, officially as a gesture of please to the Spanish and the holy roman emperor instead of the king. However this is something that Mary was happy with the choice as the ambassador was one of the few people who stayed by Katheryn and Mary, in truth he was more of a father to Mary than the king had ever been indeed had life gone differently he could have been her father.
As she walked down the aisle all of the nobles in the land where sitting down and looking at her, the duke of Norfolk was watching her like a bird of prey there is something unsettling about his hawkish gaze.
As they came closer to the alter the king and Anne where sitting in the front row both dressed very royal however there is no longer the closeness between them anymore not a coldness just a distance.
Mary then looked up to the alter to see the duke looking at her with a awed expression he was dressed in a deep blue and Mary thought he did look quite handsome she then stepped up the steps letting go of chapowis hand and taking the dukes
"I Charles Brandon take you, Mary Tudor, for my lawful wife, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and health, until death do us part." "I, Charles, take you, Mary, to be my /wife.
"I, Mary Tudor, take you, Charles Brandon , for my lawful husband, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and health, until death do us part." "I, Mary, take you, Charles, to be my husband.
When there lip touched is was very pleasant Mary thought his lips where very soft and the little bit of stubble felt alien to her.
They were now married and the feeling was amazing she kept looking over to her husband who now had a wild smile on her face as they were greeting the guest then the king and queen came over to them everyone bowed or curtsied low at their arrival
"my pear you look like a vision a proper bride on her day, and you Charles I never thought I would see the day when my friend would become son in law we will need to fit you with a better title for until I have a son you and Mary are the hairs to England" the king greeted them however the queen looked to him
"What about Elizabeth she is your daughter your true daughter "I cannot believe what is happening I hope to god that she will soon realise that her child's claim is week in comparison
"Anne not now" the king cut her off and looked to see the Spanish ambassador approaching them
"Majesty's I come with a greeting from the holy roman emperor" the king nodded for the ambassador to continue
"in honour of the princess his cozens wedding the emperor has named both the princess and the duke infana and offers for them to come to his court for their honeymoon also to help relations" the ambassador finished
"Me a infana of Spain" Charles gasped
"This is wonderful news Charles you will be able to talk with the emperor on our behalf" the king happily expired to the couple
The duke just stood gaping as if still unable to understand what has just happened, Mary just smiled to herself she was of course extremely pleased to have the title of her mother's home land especially as she is one of the last surviving members of the Spanish line, she wondered if anyone was aware that now meant that she has a claim to both England and a good amount of Spain.
Anne and henry alone
"Why did you marry her to Charles he is only a duke she would have been better with my brother he would have kept her under control and get the titles" Anne ranted when they were alone
"My dear I would not treat my horses the way your brother treats his woman Charles will love and protect her"
"I am also having Elizabeth sent to Hampton so that she might have her own house hold" the king continued
"No please can't we just keep her hear with me" Anne begged clearly not expecting this
"I thought you would be happy she will be given the standing that fits her station, and soon I hope for us to have many more children" the king pulled her close
Anne lent into him "yes my love let us have children let us have sons" she whispered into his ear
He pushed her to the wall and started to pull her skirts up…
Marys wedding night
The servants had just left leaving Mary and Charles alone in their night clothes, Mary was not sure of what to do or say really she was not sure where to look Charles came over to her and pulled her chin up a bit so that she were looking eye to eye
"Your nervous" he commented
She nodded
"So am I" he told her
"You why from all the court gossip that even I have heard you have done this before" Mary asked not believing it
"I hope that you did not believe all the roomers, I have however found that experience does not stop me getting nervous around such a beautiful woman"
Mary blushed
"If you want to stop you must tell me I will not force you ever" Mary nodded
"It's just I have never been kissed before I am not sure that I will be able to please you a-a-and the ladies of the court where not very helpful in their advice" Mary confided in him
Charles could not believe his luck she would always be his, he would be her first it was not like that with his first marriage but it would be his first time with someone like Mary and he would work hard to make sure that this pear stayed his
"it would be my honour to show you the ways and what do a bunch of old lady's know about love Maria ?" he lent in and kissed her
Mary was not sure what to do but her instinct told her to just calm down and relax, his lips where softer than she thought the would be, then she felt his tong touching her lips and she pulled back
"What was that she?" she asked shocked
"Mary what's wrong"
"What did you do with your tongue?" she asked just hoping that he would not laugh at her
He smiled and pulled her closer to him with his arms settling on her waist
"It is just another way to kiss done by intertwining the tongs however we do not need to do this if you doing want" he explained to her
"No no it's fine we can try again if you want?" she asked looking up at him
"it would be a pleasure" he purred to her, bending down so that their lips might meet again.
