AN: Thank you to all that read my first chapter. I was a bit nervous but it seems that I am getting positive responses.
Thank you to reviewers: stephers1707, BoleynOfArgaon21, Major Grai and cocorocks. Also to answer Major Grai's question, I may eventually put the rest of the Cullen Coven within the story but that won't be for awhile yet, I want to establish Rosalie's story first. As for Bella, well I'll have to see where I can fit her in.
I want to again apologise for last chapter being short, I promise this one is longer.
*Jane Seymour is entering in this chapter as a Lady-In-Waiting to Queen Anne. I know in the show that she came later just after Anne was pregnant for the third time, correct me if I am wrong. I am not quite sure in actual history but in this story she will appear from know.*
DISCLAIMER: I do not own Twilight as it belongs to Stephenie Meyer and I do not own The Tudors as it belongs to Michael Hirst and to history.
January 27th 1536
Mistress Hale's presence at court was not unnoticed. Queen Anne already had a hatred for the girl but she had a hatred of most that she thought that could usurp her own power. Rosalie Hale was in the same boat as Jane Seymour, the woman that seemed to be the King's new flame.
As Rosalie put the freshly cut fire wood within the fire place, the King made his entrance into the Queen's rooms. It was the first time the King had not been seen with the Queen in over two weeks and now he was here, in the same room as his wife and his infatuation.
All of the Queen's ladies bowed as his majesty came in. Rosalie was standing in the back behind Nan Saville, who was in front of her. As the ladies were dismissed back to their duties, Rosalie grabbed Nan's arm lightly and pulled her to the side.
"Why is he here now? Especially with Lady Seymour within this very room and don't think to play me for the fool, I know where favour is heading," said Rosalie with as much kindness towards the woman as she could muster, she already did not like her.
"His Majesty is here to dine with the Queen, it is his wish. Some of her ladies will be asked to wait back and attend on their majesties but I hardly doubt that you would be honoured with a position such as that," replied Nan.
Rosalie turned away and went back to the fire. She had to have a chuckle to herself. All of the Queen's ladies and the Queen herself already hated her. Rosalie knew she wasn't here to make friends but she was slightly envious but then she knew not to get close to anyone. It was her safety, her protection; she needed to keep herself distant from any scandal or gossip. News can travel fast in her neck of the woods.
As she put the last log into the burning fire, she turned around and was startled. A man of great height was right up in front of her. She was no short thing; she was taller than all the other women at court and the top of her head reached just around the King's nose.
"Excuse me your majesty," said Rose, she gave a quick curtsey and then tried to move out of his way. "Excuse me your majesty but you are in my way."
"My lady....what is your name," asked the King who was bedazzled with her beauty.
"My name is Mistress Hale, Mistress Rosalie Hale, and you are in my way," replied Rose, who's temper was one to match the King's and it was surely rising at the moment.
"I am sorry Mistress Hale but I have not seen you at court, when did you arrive?"
"I arrived exactly a week ago your majesty, at the permission of Lord Cromwell and Queen Anne," replied Rose swiftly. She wasn't in the mood to discuss her life story, especially since she would surely die for speaking it. "Your majesty, shouldn't you be with the Queen?"
She looked over after saying this, Queen Anne was not there. "The Queen is distressed and left, I am here merely admiring the view," said Henry, who was trying to coax the beautiful young lady into becoming his mistress.
"I am sorry but you must be mistaken for the window is on the other side of the room."
"My lady," said Henry, he took her hand and was surprised at how cold it was but thought nothing of it. "Do not play hard to get with me; I can see desire in your eyes."
Rosalie suddenly turned her head towards the door. Lady Jane was standing there with tears streaming down her face. Jane wanted to believe so much that she had the King's true heart but she could see right in front of her eyes that he had not changed for her.
Rosalie quickly snapped her hand out of his and gave him one hell of a stare. "Do NOT ever try doing that with me again your majesty!"
She quickly bowed disgusted at the King's advances. She slammed her feet as she walked out of the room right pass Lady Seymour.
Lady Jane Seymour was shocked. No woman would knock the King back so bluntly. She may do it seductively, making him want more, just like Anne Boleyn, the Queen of England had done. Little did Jane know, Rosalie's blunt refusal just made the King want her even more. There were now three women playing at the King's heart.
AN: Okay, I know, it is not that long but it is longer than last time and I wanted to get another chapter out to you guys. Anyway I hope you enjoy.
Please don't forget to review! Your advice, suggestion and support makes me be more creative. Cheesy but true.
Until next time, I hoped you enjoyed.
