Anne Boleyn, Queen of England was sitting in the Tower, she was charged with treason against the King. Five other men will die with her, claimed to be her lovers. But Anne had done no crime, King Henry just wanted her dead because she only gave him a daughter. Elizabeth, her precious Elizabeth. Her own daughter will be declared a bastard, for her marriage to the King was invalided.
Today was the execution of the five men. The six men accused were, Sir Francis Weston, Henry Norris, William Brereton, Mark Smeaton and even her own brother, George Boleyn. The first of the men to be executed was Mark Smeaton, and Anne had to watch it all.
The axe, which will behead Mark, was getting ready. Anne watched outside a window, silent tears making its way down her face. The something happened outside. Out appeared about 50 horses, with a rider upon them. One rider, a knight dismounted the horse. He walked down to the executioner and his axe. Mark's head was on the block, but he lifted his head, to see what caused the dealy.
The knight spoke loud and clear "You will release the accused men and Queen Anne. Then if you could show me and my knights where the King is. The men and the Queen will come with."
One of the guards walked his way to the knight his sword drawn. The knight held up his hand. "I do not wish to harm anyone I just have a message to the King, before anyone dies here today."
The guard was forced to stand down, knowing he and the rest of the few guards could not disarm 50 people. Quickly someone went to fetch Anne and the rest if the men, they were free, for now.
King Henry was sitting waiting for this knight who as a messenger said, wanted to speak to him. King Henry was not pleased. One he did not have a few weeks notice, and second, the knight was bring the whore and her lovers. Why? Henry did not know.
King Henry did not have to wait long, soon the knight, with the few companions and the traitors were here. The knight spoke, not him but to one of his companions. "Find a room to have these men wait there. I only want myself, the King and Queen Anne to be here. I will call everyone when I am done speaking to them."
King Henry wanted to object but he did not know how to, instead he asked, "Who are you?"
The knight pulled off his helmet. But he was not a he, she was a woman. "I am Queen Everline, a Queen of a Kingdom most do not know of. Only my neighbors know who I am and the customs of my land."
"Does your King know where you are?" Questioned King Henry.
Queen Everline "Yes he does, but it's not of his business where I am."
King Henry gave her a questioning look.
"Where I come from, woman are more prized than men. Baby girls are more expected them boys are. They take over their parents incomes and states. It's the men's job to provide a female heir. I am proud to say that I have 9 heirs. Five of them are girls and four are boys. My oldest is Princess Susan and Prince Carter, they are twins, 16. Then I have a 15 year old daughter, Eliza. Nine year old triplets; Princess Faith, Princess Isabella, and Princess Monika. Then two five year old boys, Princes Charles and Edward and then a year old son, Prince Henry."
Henry was shocked, not only that where this Queen came from, woman ruled but she had nine living heirs. Five of them girls which other countries may not want, but FOUR sons, which any ruler would be happy to have, much like himself.
"How is this possible?"
"We have a special medicine that helps the mother and child live during childbirth. And we also have a special medicine that allows woman to have children till the day they die."
Henry wanted to ask more but he needed to know why she was here. So he did.
Queen Everline explained "After I heard Queen Anne's case, I wanted to find out if these accusations were correct. So I had someone gather the same 'evidence' as your Cordial Cromwell collect, I also had someone follow and keep track of Queen Anne, for her perseverance made me interested. After I went through everything, I found out she and the men accused were innocent. So I will place my evidence in a trial. If you do not see reason, then I will take Queen Anne and the men to my Kingdom were they will live in peace."
"But I need sons. Janeā¦" his voice trailed off. Anne who had not said a word, flinched at this.
"Don't worry I have some evidence against her and her family. I will provide it in a trial, a fair trial."
Henry only nodded his head, sure he will let this though. He will attended and his trusted friends. Anyone this Queen wanted to question. What's the harm, he knows the truth, even if this Queen says its wrong.
