Light. Trees. Grass. This is not 2089. Green is rare. I check the disk like object. 23 March 1529. Near Richmond England.15:37
New World. It worked. Hurry Steven. Ok. First I need to change and then I need a place to stay for the night. I am so excited.
I place my bag on the floor and took out the dress, chemise, shoes and french hood. I looked around just in case one is here. I am in the woods I doubt anyone is here. I started to to take off my blouse and leggings. No one wears underwear and bras in this era. I can live without a bra but underwear. But if I wear an underwear and I go to a village for example and get a wedgie it's too noticeable. I took my bra off and hesitating still my underwear. I stood there naked then bend down to get the chemise to put it on, then the dress. I ditched the french hood because it is hard to put on so instead I just did my hair in a braid. It did not match the brown dress anyway. It was the only thing left in the school for drama class. I dugged my clothes and the bag. My hands and face covered with dirt. I also noticed that the dress was covered with dirt and branches from the floor.
Now a place to stay. I started to walk west.
King Henry VIII
"It was a good hunt Charles."
"Not as well as the hunt for a beautiful woman at court Harry" I laughed. Always after women.
"I have my beloved Anne. No more mistresses but her." I sighed thinking about her. Charles just nodded. He doesn't approve of Anne.
"Charles. Look a lady in the woods."
"Maybe she from Richmond.
"Maybe."
She was walking towards us, looking at the floor. She hasn't noticed us. I start to approach her.
"Harry!!" Charles and Anthony whispered.
"Stay" I ordered.
I walked towards her.
"My lady" She looked up with a smile on her face and became stunned by her beauty. She is light skinned, it is possible to tell even though she has dirt on her face and hands, her eyes are hazel, perfect pink lips and her body. She is an angel.
"Oh good I found someone. Sir which way is Richmond? I been walking for hours but still haven't found it." She asked in her sweet voice. Beautiful.
"Richmond is southeast of here."
"Is it still far?"
"3 hours away. If I may ask, why are you covered in dirt?" I asked remembering.
"Well...As I was walking, I tripped and roll on a hill of dirt. I am actually lost. I am new here in England, I have no where to stay. I actually trying to reach London but decided to rest in Richmond for the night. Can you take me to Richmond?" she asked still keeping her smile but with a worried voice. She shake the dirt off with the sleeve of her dress. She became less covered in dirt than before.
"I'll take you to London instead. We are actually on our way there." I turned around to point out the others.
"Really?" She asked with excitement.
"Yes really. Why don't come with us to Whitehall Palace? I can offer you a position as a lady to the Queen."
"I would be honored"
I got off my horse and gestured her to get on. I helped her and rode towards the others.
"What is your name?"
"Margaret. Margaret Regui." She said proudly "And yours?" she asked curiously.
"Henry." I decided not to tell her I am the King right now.
"Yo…" I lifted my hand so he wouldn't call me your majesty. "Henry it is time to go if we want to arrive before the sun goes down"
"Of course. Margaret this is Charles the Duke of Suffolk."
Margaret Regui
"Your Grace" I bowed my head.
"My lady it is a pleasure to meet you" he said as I smailed and nod. He is a handsome man and quite more muscular than Henry. He has green blue eyes and fair skinned. Henry in the other hand his blue eyed with light skinned and fairly muscular.
"Shall we go?" He ask as we started to move.
I am so excited to go to London and to have found these men to take me there. I will also meet the Queen of England, how my grandmother would say, the true Queen of England, daughter of the warrior Kings of Spain, Queen Katherine of Aragon. She was proud of her Spanish heritage.
I am so tire of walking that I want to take a nap but I can't before I am on a horse therefore I am scared to fall off the horse. A horse, I finally meet a horse in real live. They are so rare in the future so I only saw them in pictures and movies. I am happy and scare still.
We rode to London in silence.
I saw a great palace in a fair distance.
"My lady we have arrived London and will arrive to Whitehall Palace." Henry said.
I nod, speechless to say anything.
We rode for a bit more and we arrived.
"Your Majesty" a young man said. Your Majesty?
"Are you the King?" I asked him. He nod with a grin.
I cursty.
He walks up to me and helps me stand up.
"Forgive me, I did not tell you earlier. I wanted to help you not scare you off."
"I forgive you, your majesty." I said sincerely
"Call me Henry, in private" he whispered "I won't confuse you anymore."
Charles walks towards us, laughing.
"Your Grace" I said as I cursty
"The future Lady Margaret." He said with a smile. I return the smile. "Majesty" He bowed his head and left to the palace.
"Shall we?"
He enter the palace as I follow him everyone curtsy and bow as he walks by. But when I walk behind him, the court stares and whispers among each other. I wonder if I look different, like if a sign is on my forehead saying "From the Future" and also my dirty hands, dress and face makes me stand out .
When we exit the Main Hall, he turned around and walked by my side.
"Tell me about yourself."
"Well…" What should I say? "I am...from Spain."
"A Spaniard. My Queen will adore you" he proudly with a grin.
I nod and smile.
"I was traveling here but there was a shipwreck not far from the shore. Since then I have been traveling from town to town to arrive to London."
"But now you are here as Lady Margaret"
"Thank you, Your Majesty"
"No need to thank me. As King of England my duty is to protect its people especially beautiful damsels like yourself, now part of England" He stops in front of a double door and knocks.
A blond lady opens the door and he asks for the Queen.
We walk in. Chills runs down my spine. Breathe i told myself.
The Queen walks in. I curtsey. And she curtsey at the King. She is very beautiful and regal. She is every inch of a Queen.
" My Queen, I brought you a lady to replace her." The Queen glared at him when her said her. "Her name is Margaret Regui. She is in distress after a shipwreck off the shores of England."
The Queen's eyes soften when she hear that I was in a shipwreck.
She nods "Thank you Henry"
"I am leaving. Lady Margaret, welcome to Court." he said and left. The queen, ladies and myself curtsey.
"Lady Margaret, come and sit with me."
I nod and sat down in a chair in front of her.
"Your Majesty,I apologize for my appearance.I had an accident"
"That is alright.You will be cleaned once the water is heated" I nod in response. "Tell me about yourself."
"I have no experience waiting on a Queen but I am willing to learn."
"Alright.The Lady Elizabeth Darrell will help you and teach you. Continue"
"I am from Spain. My mother was a Spaniard and my father was an Italian decedent.They both died in...they were murdered" I said trying to keep my tears from falling.
"Oh. I am sorry about your parents." she said softly. "Lets not talk now you need to wash and rest."
"Your Majesty" I curtsey.
"One last question for the day. How old are you?"
"20 since yesterday. Your Majesty."
She nodded so I curtsey again.
After I washed, Lady Darrell told me that my lessons will start tomorrow morning after mass, so I went to sleep immediately.
