Queen Mary Tudor

Sister,

I was sorry that I was not invited to attend your most wonderful wedding. I wish you much joy and happiness.

Lady Elizabeth

To Lady Elizabeth:

Thank you for your well wishes and once I am with child and ready to give birth, you shalt come to Court and of coarse, you shalt meet the King of England and Naples. Until then, you are to go to your estate in Dotteringham and remain there until the blessed event of my womb quickening happens. I may go to Naples with my husband but that is yet to be seen. If I leave to go to Naples I shalt of coarse, inform you.

Yours Mary R.

Queen Mary,

Why do you not wish me to be with you at all times? Have I done something to displease you? But yes I shall do as you wish I will remain at Dotteringham. I wish you a most happiest in your being with child.

Lady Elizabeth

"Elizabeth, I 'm looking forward to going to Naples. It is not that I do not wish you near me. Of coarse I wish you near me but I will now have a husband who will take the burdens of rulership off my shoulders plus I have to spend time in bed, getting an heir, Elizabeth. I will not have much time to spare for you any more but I still love youi never the less." Queen Mary said, practically.

"I am most sad to hear this about me but I shall do as you wish and keep you and your child in my prayers every day. I will always love you my Queen Mary. Do you know when the child shall be born?"

"I am not yet with child, dear Elizabeth. But I so wish to have a child. I am plaesed that you loveth Us. We lovveth you as well. I will always look out for your interests." Elizabeth did not wish to wed. Well, fine. Queen Mary shall make very sure that she does not wed. It wilt be hard with Philip for he may wish to wed her in Europe but she and Elizabeth are sisters and the least she can do is make very sure that Elizabeth does not wed. She can not comprehend the idea of not wedding but she understands Elizabeth"s concern over the man lording it over her. She and Mary come from two different schools of thought.

"I shall reprimand my ladies for giving me false news of you. That is very wrong of them. I still do not wish to wed. Though I wish you much the best in your happiness."

"Thank you, Elizabeth. I am happy. It shall be wonderful to see Naples for I am now its Queen. How lucky I am to have two such fine countries to rule over." What are her ladies doing spreading false tales. She must learn not to listen to them.

"I shall miss you when you leave for Naples. How long do you plan to be gone?"

'Philip and I plan to be gone about three weeks and hopefully by the time I return, my womb will have quickened.' Queen Mary said, contentedly.

"That is a long time to be gone. I wish you the best sister Queen Mary."

"Thank you." Queen Mary said in return.
