Arrival of Mary Boleyn

I have received a letter from Mary Boleyn that she was now on the shores and so I had sent one of my most trusted men to meet her and escort her to me. He had gathered on the beach with a small group awaiting her arrival.

. Yes Brother how can I help you. You asked for me. You look nervous I have been told that the Lady Mary Bolyen has arrived. I smile at him

I see Natalia and Alexei. . So Brother I hear that a Lady Mary Boleyn has arrived. This is the young lady that you spoke to for quite some time at the celebration of King Gustav's marriage to Queen Mary.

Finally George and I finally reached the Ukrainian shores. We saw a carriage come towards us. The coachmen said that he was here to bring the Lady Mary Boleyn and her brother Lord George Boleyn. So please get in and I will have you at the palace where Prince Alexei Olegovna is waiting for you. . Thank you very much.

We were told that the carriage is coming now. Alexei looks so nervous. So I stood next to him and held his hand.

The carriage that has the Lady Mary Boleyn and her brother Lord George Boleyn approaches. My dear brother is so very nervous now so as Natalia held one hand I held the other.

I looked at Natalia as Mary Boleyn was arriving and I smiled at Elena as she had come too.

"Natalia, do you think that our country will be suitable for her. It worries me that she will not like it here.

I could see the carriage approach that Mary Boleyn was travelling in and as it approached I held both of my sister's hands tightly and smiled at them both.

"I cannot believe the moment is finally here.

Alexei looks nervous so nervous that he held my tightly. I understood because he finally had Mary Boleyn here in Ukraine. I smiled at him

My hand started to go numb as he tightly held my hand and I am sure that Elena felt the same. I am glad that she has finally made it to see Ukraine and especially Alexei.

Finally I am here. The were opened and I escorted to the prince. I smiled when I saw him. All I could see was him and I almost forgot everything else around me. Finally I came to my sense I curtsey. . Your Highnesses. It is a pleasure to see you again.

I smiled at Mary Boleyn as she arrived.

"Lady Mary, it is an honour to see you again. I believe you have met my sister Natalia, but please let me introduce my other sister Elena.

I feel so nervous so I am happy that George excepted to come with me. . Yes I have met Princess Natalia in Sweden. It is a pleasure to see you again. Princess Elena it is a pleasure to meet you. This is my brother, George,

. Nice to see you again Lady Mary. Lord George. I am Princess Natalia Olegovna. Welcome to the Ukraine. I hope that the voyage was calm. Your chambers are prepared and the servants will take care of everything for you.

I curtsey and I sit across from Alexei but next to Natalia and Elena.

I took my seat at the table next to Mary and held her hand under the table as she was nervous.

"It is a pleasure to meet you both. You are most kind with your welcome to us. Mary is very excited to see Alexei again and good news comes from England that King Henry and our sister Queen Anne have given their blessing too. Uncle Thomas is not so easily convinced but I am sure he will warm to this fine family. May I ask, are you are Prince Alexei close? King Nikolai, is ruler here correct?

. We are pretty close to each other. Both of us wanted to be here for both Alexei and for Mary as well. I know that both of you are nervous about getting to closer. .

I smiled at both of the sisters.

"I am sure that I will be able to get to know both of you better. Our family, is quite complicated and I for one want to see Mary happy again. I am sure that the festivities will be amazing. When are we due to meet Prince Alexei?

. I wanted to ask you how is your mother feeling. I knew that you all had to leave the celebration in Sweden.
