Music Hall

Myself and Kyla followed father and Marie into the music hall and I looked around and there were many people here. I noticed aunt Charlotte close by and I smiled towards her as we reached King Gustav and Queen Mary and I dropped into a curtsy before them.

I knew this place so well as did my wife Anosova. The Svensson family and ours went back some way and this was the first time back in a while and now we had a new addition in Mary Boleyn. We were announced and we came forward to where Gustav and Mary were. I was with Anosova and behind us came Alexei and Mary then behind them my two daughters Elena and Natalia.

"Your majesties, can I say that it is a true honour to be back here in Sweden and you are both looking well. May I present my wife Anosova, my son Alexei, my daughters Elena and Natalia and a soon to be member of our family Mary Boleyn.

I smile at the King and Queen and at my husband as he introduced us and I then bought our gift forward.
"Your majesties, I would like to present our gift to you and wish you and your daughter a wonderful life.

I came into the hall with my sister Alexandra and I did notice that before us the Ukrainian family were there and it was only recently that we had agreed terms between our countries. I came forward and was introduced to Queen Mary and King Gustav.
"Your majesties, it is very nice to see you both again and may I congratulate you on your child. I am not sure if you had the chance when you were in Russia not long ago to have met my sister, but may I present you my sister Alexandra and here is our gift to you as well.

I stood beside my husband holding our gift. I curtsey.

Your Majesties. We were not properly introduced when we were at the marriage celebration. But I am happy that I am able to The hall is beautiful. I too just given birth to a healthy son. I am happy to meet your beautiful baby.

I smiled and I curtsey.  

Thank you for inviting us.  Here is the gift I wish to give.

I see that the King and Queen are standing at the entrance of the Music Hall. With Alexei and his family I entered the room. I curtsey and smile.

Thank you Your Majesties for inviting me to the celebration of the birth of your daughter. Here is the gift for your baby daughter.

I arrived in Sweden and I wait to be announced before entering the Music Hall.  I was announced and I walked to them.

Your Majesties Thank you for your invitation. Congratulations to you both.  I would like to give you this gift to celebrate her birth.  Her name is beautiful.  It means shining light or bright one.  I pray that she will bring you joy.

Isabelle of Portugal,

It is lovely to see you. Its been ever so long it feels like.

I walked towards Queen Claude and hugged and kissed her cheeks.

Yes it has been quite awhile since we have seen each other. How are you?

I walk towards Isabelle of Portugal and Queen Claude.

"How lovely to see you Queen Isabelle and you look quite lovely Queen Claude. How fare things?

I see no real warmth in Queen Anne's expression. She is merely being polite and making conversations.

"Thank thee for noticing my new gown. I fare well thank you. Hope you fare just as well. I have been emersed in my prayers, as I have always done. How is King Henry?"

"Things are rather pleasant where we are. King Henry finds much companionship with thee. Yes I have always known you to be very religious. There is nothing wrong with that. It is good for the soul. I do hope you are enjoying thyself. Is there anything I can do for you?'

"If it pleases you some music would be nice. Do you not agree my husband." I turn to King Francis for his approval.

While Henry gently holds Elena.  I smiled at them.  I warned my heart to see him with Elena.  I saw Charles, Katherine and Anne Brandon.  I smiled at Katherine and embraced her.  

Katherine you look lovely.  I hear that you have given birth to a son am I correct.  Is he here with you?  Hello Anne.  I am happy that you were able to make it here   Katherine I would like to give you a gift for your son if I may?.  I can give it to you later.  But I am happy that you are here.

Thank you your Majesty. You are very kind I will appreciate your gift. It is very kind of you. I looked at Anne and then at Charles.

I see Charles Brandon and his family. I walked towards them. That is when I saw his daughter Anne.

Hello to everyone. I am sorry that I interrupted your conversation forgive me. But it is good to see you Charles you look well. You must be Katherine. It is very nice to meet you my dear. Anne it has been a while since I saw you last. You look lovely. How are you?

I smiled back at Katherine and then looked towards Queen Mary.

"Queen Mary, I congratulate you on the birth of your daughter and yes it is true, myself and Katherine, we have a wonderful son. I thought it best to leave him with a governess whilst we came here. I thank you for your gift Mary, we too have one for you and your daughter. I say handing it to her.

I noticed Margaret of Austria come over to where we were and she interrupted our conversation with the Queen.

"Lady Margaret, it is nice to see you here again and do not worry that you interrupted our conversation it is fine. I do trust that you are well?

I looked at Queen Anne of England then back at my wife.

"Queen Anne, you do look lovely in your gown today. Tell me, have you met the young Princess of Sweden yet? I think Claude is right, we could do with some music here however, we are in Sweden and not England so it will be down to Queen Mary and King Gustav to decide on the matter.

I smiled at Mary Boleyn as she stood and curtsied before presenting her gift.

"Your majesties, I hope that you will like our gift too that we have her and I am not sure if you heard but young Mary Boleyn here is getting married to my son Alexei too. She will be one of us.
