The Palace Park

A park located in the gardens

I had been travelling for a few days and had finally arrived back home in Sweden after a long trip to England. It was here I was to marry my bride.

I noticed my brother was arriving at the Palace gates and I went down stairs to meet him

I was dismounting my horses and all my guards were unloading things. I saw my sister running towards me and I waited to greet her.

I dismounted from my sweet horse and ran with my sister to greet my brother. It is so good to see him again.

I hugged both of my sisters as they arrived to see me.
"Agnetha, Rebecca it is so good to see you both again it has been too long and I am glad to be home"

I dismounted my horse I saw two beautiful ladies run towards Gustav.
 My dear would you introduce me to your sisters.  Then may I shown to the Queen's room. She has asked to see her when I came to Sweden.  

My dear brother I have missed you so much lady Mary I'm Rebecca Gustav sister this is agnetha we are very pleased to meet you our mother awaits you in her room I do hope we can all become good friends and sisters too.

As i dismounted my horse I smiled as I saw my sisters getting along so well with Mary.

"Mary my love these are indeed my two wonderful sisters. Agnetha whom is my younger sister and Rebecca who is the youngest. They have both been very excited to see you and from what I am told my mother Magda and Rebecca have arranged some wonderful events for us leading up to our wedding. Your brother and sister have been sent invites to attend our wedding Mary and may I welcome you to Sweden it has been too long since I was last here. Rebecca and Agnetha can you please show Mary the way to my mother's chambers? I have something I must do then I will speak with mother privately.

I shall take you to my mother's room

I curtsy Dear Queen Madga. I am glad that you are going to teach me about Swedish culture and how to be a proper queen here and wife that Gustav deserves. I hope that I will be able to think of as mother.

I had heard of the arrival of Princess Mary Tudor and so I had decided to go and greet her at the Palace Gate myself. I approached and she curtsied.
"You must be Princess Mary Tudor am I correct?

Yes I wish for you to teach me.  You let me know that you are the last queen here. I will be also will be honored to have you by my side.

I smiled at the young Princess.

"We can start at once but please follow me to my chambers and I can show you the Palace.

 That would be wonderful.  I would love to see the palace and the country.  I hope that I will be a good queen and that you will be proud of me being Gustav's wife.  .

"Princess if you make Gustav happy then of course I will be happy. Now here in Sweden these chambers you see here on this map those ones are yours they form a total of seven rooms with three private chambers where only royalty and the highest nobles may enter, the ones to the side of yours are your husbands rooms and he too has eight chambers. The rooms directly behind yours belong to me and they are four in number and the ones next to mine are the chambers that belong to Gustav's sisters is everything clear Mary? I say showing her the plan of the palace.
