Unbreakable Bond
Sorry about the late update, all our family has been packing for our I will not be able to update from Friday to Friday because I am on holiday. Anyway, here is chapter 5! xxx
Jane sat in her chambers, brushing her hair, when there was a gentle knock on the door. "Come in." she said, turning to the door. Charles Brandon stepped into the room and said with a slight bow, "Your Majesty." Jane nodded, "Your Grace, to what do I owe this pleasure?" Charles walked forward and sat on the bed, "Your majesty, I fear the King is growing suspicious." "Why?" asked Jane with a slight not of panic in her voice. "The Lady Mary was a good friend of the whore's, and may know the truth." He replied. Jane stood up and began to pace, "Then we must stop her from telling the king."
Mary walked down the corridor to her chambers when she heard voices from Jane Seymour's chambers. She dismissed the guards and pressed an ear against the cold oak doors. "How?" Mary was shocked to hear Charles Brandon's voice, "She was the witch's best friend and stepdaughter, she must have told her she was with child. Surely Henry is going to favour her over us!" "NO!" Jane shouted. It sounded like she was almost crying. "Don't you see? If the Lady Mary tells the King, it could ruin everything, for both of us!" Mary heard Charles walk across the room. "Jane! Pull yourself together! We just need to keep our heads. Now, as for the Lady Mary, " Mary was shocked and pressed her ear closer to the door. "We must find a way to be rid of her." Mary frowned, she did not like the way the conversation was going. "But how?" Jane inquired. "Did you say Mary had a letter from the witch that held details of her pregnancy?" Charles asked thoughtfully. "Yes." said a confused Jane. "Well if we could convince the King that Mary had kept it until after her execution, she would almost certainly be charged with treason." Mary had heard enough, she strode down the corridor, to her father's chambers. She had to tell him what she had just heard.
Mary walked into her father's chambers. "Your Majesty." she said, dropping a curtsey. "Mary please, I am your father, call me so. Was there something you wished to tell me?" Henry asked. Mary rose slowly. "I have just witnessed a most interesting conversation between Charles Brandon and Lady Jane." She began, " It involved me and the letter I gave you." "The one from Anne?" Henry asked. It looked painful for him to say her name. "Yes Father. They were discussing you and me. They fear you are growing suspicious of them and wish to be rid of me. They plan to do this by telling you that I kept the letter until after Anne's execution." Henry turned to look at her, "And did you?" "No!" Mary replied angrily, "I found it after her execution. I was going into the queen's chambers and it was on the dressing table!" Henry nodded," Very well. I will send for them now-" But before he could finish, the guards announced the arrival of Charles Brandon.
