Authors Note: so I saw this idea done in a couple of stories and I wanted to give it a try. So basically the plot is 'what if Anne was Henry's 3rd Queen and Jane was his 2nd.

And for those who are following A New Life the chapter should be up in a couple of days, sorry for the delay.

Anne Boleyn, for the first time in her life, was nervous. And she had good reason to be. She had just travelled from her home in Heaver all the way to Whitehall palace. If she had her way she would off put going to Whitehall off for another couple of weeks as she had only been back in England for a month after spending most of her life in France.

But sadly that was not to be as she received a letter from court telling her to come immediately to begin her serveries as lady-in-waiting to the Queen, Katherine of Aragon. Inside she felt sorry for the Queen she had all but heard that the King was setting her aside so that he could marry his new love, Jane Seymour. Anne didn't know much about this Seymour girl but she knew that she must have no heart. What kind of woman tries to steal away a woman's husband?

Suddenly though she was pulled out of her thoughts as she looked up to see the doors of the chambers of the Queen. They were easy to spot as all around them you could see the carvings of the Tudor rose with the pomegranate, with an illustrious HK in the middle. Anne rose her hand to knock on the door and almost instantly it was opened by another one the maids who looked at her before allowing her entrance.

As she walked in all she could see was the grand furniture placed around the room and the great Spanish tapestries that hung on the walls. In Anne's eyes it made the room look a little to miserable but she was in no place to judge the Queens decisions.

"Her majesty will be her in just a moment. You are not to speak to her unless you are invited to, understood?"

All Anne could do was give a small nod of her head before she heard footsteps emerge from the bed chamber. Seeing that everyone else began to bow Anne did so as well hoping that the Queen didn't view her late bow as an offence.

"Mistress Boleyn, rise." Anne slowly rose into a standing positions but was still keeping her head down.

"I trust that your journey her was a good one"

"Yes, your majesty the weather held out very well."

"Good. I will have one of my maids give you your uniform for you to get changed into and I expect you back shortly. You may leave now"

Anne dropped into another curtsey before turning to see one of the other ladies holding in front of a dress as well as a headpiece which she handed to her before giving her instructions on where the ladies quarters were.

Anne had made her way quickly and quietly to her rooms where she got changed into her new uniform. Before going back to the Queen's rooms with an added pace to her feet. The last thing she wanted to do was to disappoint the Queen on her first day no less. When she got back to the rooms she was given the task of sorting out the jewels and putting them back into their proper place, the job was easy and after she was done she wasn't given any other job.

Deciding to do something with her spare time Anne walked over to the corner of the room where there was a pile of books that Anne was told were for the ladies-in-waiting to read when they finished their duties. Picking up one of the books she began reading it, for about ten minutes before she felt a pair of eyes looking at her.

"Lady Anne" Katherine said snapping Anne out of her reading. "What are you reading?" she asked.

Anne lifted the book up from her lap and read the title out loud to the Queen. When she looked back up to meet her eyes all she saw was confusion. Anne thought that maybe she had picked up a book from the wrong area and was ready to apologise until she heard Katherine speak up. "You can speak Spanish?"

"Yes, your majesty"

"Can you speak any other languages?"

"Yes. I can speak Latin, French, English and Spanish."

Katherine looked at her lady-in-waiting in shock. Never had she had a lady in her employ who could speak more than one language fluently. Sure she had her Spanish ladies but they could barely speak English and only did so when they were talking to members of the court. Katherine became curious to see what else she knew.

"Where did you learn to speak these languages?"

"At the court of Margaret of Austria, your majesty. She took a liking to me and allowed me to be taught alongside her children."

"You had the education of a princess?"

"Yes."

Katherine paused for a second before continuing "How would you like to teach the Princess Mary French. She has been having trouble with it for quite a while and I was hoping that you could help her?"

Anne looked at the Queen in shock for a few moments. "There would be no greater honour your majesty. I have heard that the Princess is a very intelligent child so it would not take long for her to pick it up."

"She is isn't she? Lady Anne can you promise me that you will always be a true friend to her, for I fear she will not have many soon."

"Why not? Sorry for my lack of knowledge it's just that I've only been in England for a month so I know nothing of the politics at court currently and I heard some rumours but I didn't think anything if it."

"I forgive you. It's just the King is trying to divorce me." Anne let out a gasp on hearing this "He is planning to put me aside so he can marry his new love Jane Seymour and that woman is so vile that I fear that if she could she would kill my daughter to sure her bastards a throne."

After Katherine explained the whole situation to Anne they moved onto a different subject back Anne couldn't get it out of the back of her mind. She hadn't even meet Jane Seymour and she already had a dislike of her. From what Katherine had said to her the King was desperate for a male heir and this Seymour girl had played on his desperation by promising that she could give him a son but the turned around and pretended to be all moral and virtuous when telling him that she would only enter his bed as Queen.

The nerve of that woman! To put on this mask of being a pure untouched maiden whilst trying with all of her strength to dispose of a good Queen and leave her daughter a bastard. However apparently Anne wasn't the only one to have a dislike of the woman. Half of the court hated her for getting rid of a popular Queen and the other half disliked her because in order to get his divorce he had to break from the church and in their eyes that was unforgivable to them. The only people that supported her was her family who benefited the most from her rise to power.

Currently Anne was sat on bench in the gardens reading a passage in French to the Princess Mary who was looking at the book with a great concentration, Katherine had been right when she said that Mary wasn't the best at French. But she was quickly taking to it. The way she was teaching her was that Anne would read a passage to her and the she would translate into English before putting it back into French.

But, the lesson was cut short when she heard the sound of Mary's ladies saying 'Your majesty' and seeing them bow. Putting the book on the bench beside her she watched as Mary jumped down from the bench and ran towards her farther.

"My precious pearl, how are you." He asked as he picked her up in to her arms.

"Well. I've just been having my French lesson with Lady Anne" the little girl said as she pointed to Anne. Whatever Mary had said to him next he was not paying attention. All he could think about was how beautiful the woman before him was, with her dark hair and piercing blue eyes she was the complete opposite of his lovely Jane. Maybe when the two were married he would make her his mistress.

"Lady Anne, your Katherine's new lady right."

"Yes, your majesty"

"And you can speak French"

"Yes, I can also speak Spanish and Latin."

Henry looked at the girl in shock. He hadn't expected her to be able to know four different languages after all she was just a lady of the court. Maybe on second thought he could use her as friend and as someone he could turn to for advice or to distract him from life as king.

Authors Note: so that was the first chapter, I hope you enjoyed it. I will try to have the next chapter up soon but I will have to try to balance it with my other stories so it may be updated at random times but I will try my best to update weekly.
