King Henry VIII to Margaret of Austria

I look towards Margaret of Austria.

"I am travelling to Romania myself and will confront this woman to learn what she has done to my daughter. Would you care to join me Margaret and can you spare any of your own forces?

I read the letter from Agnetha Svensson.

Dear Agnetha,

Thank you for your reply. I am pleased to hear that Gustav shares the same thoughts on the matter. I cannot stand for my daughter to be missing and I myself am coming, with the English troops to Romania to deal with this Elizabeth Hampton. Please do not inform Mary of anything as she gets very upset when she worries and I will not have her upset.

King Henry

I looked into Henry's eyes and I can see his worry for his daughter,

. Henry of course I will go with you and my guards are at your disposal. Anything that I can do it is yours.

I looked into Henry's eyes.

. Of course I am ready whenever you are.  Do not worry we will find Katherine.  And no matter what else happens this Elizabeth Hampton will rue the day that she took Katherine. She will be severely punished along with whomever helped he.

Dear King Henry,

I hope that this letter finds you well I am writing to tell you that Katherine has sent me a letter.  She fine and is on her way back to Romania.  Elizabeth Hampton has been detained.  In her letter Katherine told me that Elizabeth Hampton had her kidnapped and was taken to Hungary along with Abigail Smith.  Princess Nadia, on the suggestion of Elizabeth Hampton, was going to have them executed. Katherine was very brave.  You would be proud of her.   Abigail was able to get free and she and Katherine ran from their captors.  As we speak they are on the voyage to come to Romania.  When Katherine gets here Gustav has suggested that we should to go back to Sweden.  If you are still considering coming to Romania by all means so . We await your response or your arrival.  Mary is well and she not been told about this matter.  I am trying to keep her mind occupied with other things.  

Princess Agnetha

I was about to speak when a servant came in and handed King Henry a letter. As he read the letter, his mood seems to have changed.

. Henry has there been an update on the matter of Katherine. I hope that all is well and that this letter brings good news.

I looked at Margaret then at the letter.

"There has been news indeed Margaret. It appears that Katherine was kidnapped by Elizabeth Hampton, but then she was able to escape from her captors. Tell me Margaret, do you know a Nadia Kovacs? I say as I replied to Agnetha.

Dear Princess Agnetha,

I thank you for the update and I am very pleased to hear that Katherine is safe and returning to Romania. I myself will not be making the journey there as I have affairs to see to in England. I will send my representative there. I do hope that Mary is still keeping well?

King Henry

I looked at Henry and I read the letter that he handed me.

. This is wonderful news Henry. No I do not believe that I know any monarchs in Hungary. I am sorry that I can not help you with this matter. You are going to send someone to go to Romania.  Could you go to Romania to see Mary and Katherine.  I would enjoy going to see Romania.  See Mary and meet King Gustav.  Also meeting Katherine would be nice.  If you want I can represent you in Romania

I looked at Margaret then a sudden thought came to my mind.

"Margaret, I cannot travel to Romania, for I need to attend to the state business however, I am informed that they have captured Elizabeth Hampton and I have requested to King Marius that she be bought back to England. I would very much like for you to go there and escort her back here, where she will be taken to the Tower.

. Of course I will leave right away. I look at my servant. . Make ready for my departure. Henry I will try to go as quickly as possible to see your daughter.

I was surprised by what he said. . Do not worry I will keep you informed about what I find there. I hope to have a chance to see your sister and her husband while I am there. But I am surprised that you would want Katherine to go back to France. I was under the impression that you did not like King Francis. That her staying in Sweden would be more appropriate

Dear Henry,

I have reached Romania and I have Elizabeth Hampton in a cell. My soldiers are guarding her and some of the castle guards are also helping them. It is beautiful here. I will let you know when are on the journey back to England.

Margaret

Dear Margaret,

I am pleased to hear this news. I do hope that you enjoy your visit to Romania. If you see Mary, send her my love. I trust that you will have a safe return here.

King Henry

Dear Margaret,

I hope that you are well and that you are enjoying your visit to Romania.
I write to you today as I inform you that this very morning I received a messenger from Romania, whom I had a very interesting conversation with and I learnt some interesting things that are starting to get me thinking.

King Henry

King Henry,

I know that Elizabeth has had a message sent to you.  I am sure that she has said that everyone hates her and that she has done nothing to anyone. She has not physically touched anyone but she put the wheels in motion. So I am writing to you to tell that she has lied to you.  Elizabeth said that she knew that Mary was with child and she was giving her a tonic to help her.  But it was Agnetha and Katherine that stopped it noting that the sickness that Mary was feeling was normal and that she did not need it.  Gustav wanted a physician that he knew and trusted to care for Mary.  Elizabeth did not like Katherine watching her.  So rather than harm any of the Swedish royals she had put something in Katherine's drink to calm her down.  Then sent her Hungary to meet her niece Nadia.  But why did she need to do this?  Why did she specifically wanted Katherine away from Romania?  I do not trust her.  You know me well.  Do you think that I would give you a false report.  I am going to investigate this further.

Margaret
