6 July 1553- 11th July 1553
Henry VIII opened the door, slowly.
"Edward?" he called, his eyes lingering on his son, who was, haphazardly sat up in the bed
"Your Majesty" Edward weakly replied, his voice hoarse
"No, there's no need to call me 'Your Majesty', father will be fine" Henry told Edward, sitting on his bed, placing a hand on his son's shoulder, to attempt to comfort himself, and his son, in the process
"Ok, father" Edward replied, before coughing up blood tinged saliva into the bucket near his bed, as he had been sick regularly, and had quite a high fever, this along with violent fits of sweating and shaking, made his survival unlikely
Henry put a hand on Edward's head and ran his hand across it "Get well soon Edward"
"I'll try father" he quietly replied, Henry smiled to him from across the room and then left, closing the door quietly behind him, leaving Edward to recover in peace
E-H-E-H-E-H-E-H-E-H-E-H-E-H-E-H-E-H-E-H-E-H-E-H-E-H-E-H-E-H-E-H-E-H-E-H-E-H-E-H-E-H-E-H-E-H-E-H-E-H-E-H-E-H-E-H-E-H-E-H-E-H-E-H-E-H-E-H-E-H-E-H-E-H-E-H-E-H-E-H-E-H-E-H-E-H-E
"Your Majesty!" Henry looked up, from his position at the table, where he was resting to reduce the pain from his leg
"Anne Boleyn has been seen heading this way" The page informed him
"I knew I should have beheaded her when I had the chance!" Henry snapped, if she and Elizabeth met, Anne could make Elizabeth go against him
"What do we do Your Majesty?" The page asked
"Keep her away from Edward, Elizabth and Mary" Henry ordered. If Anne ws kept away from his children, then at least, they wouldn't go against him
"Yes Your Majesty" The page gave a bow and left the room, calling orders to the guards
E-H-E-H-E-H-E-H-E-H-E-H-E-H-E-H-E-H-E-H-E-H-E-H-E-H-E-H-E-H-E-H-E-H-E-H-E-H-E-H-E-H-E-H-E-H-E-H-E-H-E-H-E-H-E-H-E-H-E-H-E-H-E-H-E-H-E-H-E-H-E-H-E-H-E-H-E-H-E-H-E-H-E-H-E-H-E
Henry returned to his son's room
"Edward?" Edward looked up, as the door opened, revealing his father
"Father" he greeted, nodding his head
"How are you feeling?" Henry asked, clapping a hand on Edward's shoulder
"Better, not as bad as I was" Edward replied, smiling at his father
Henry placed a hand on Edward's forehead, before turning to the nurse, who curtseyed and smiled "Prince Edward is on his way to making a full recovery"
"Good..." Henry stroked his son's head "Get well soon son" he planted a single kiss on his son's forehead and left the room, missing the sad look that passed over his son's face
And get better Edward did. He recovered from his illness and was back on his feet within the week, which pleased Henry to no end, but angered Mary, as she was hoping he would die so she could be next in line, she was furious, she however, was wise enough to keep quiet, once her father was dead, perhaps the subjects would see that she was the true hei
11th July 1553
Henry VIII passed away, Edward, Elizabeth, Mary and Catherine Parr by his death bed.
Edward was crowned two days later and on the 12th of October 1553, Edward would meet with his siblings
Elizabeth and Mary entered the room, Elizabeth curtseyed to Edward, who was now on the throne, and he nodded in reply, smiling brightly and gesturing to the chair on his left, to which Elizabeth took "Thank you, Your Majesty"
Mary refused to curtsey, and moved towards the chair, Edward's smile disappeared, the guards nearby, held Mary back, by pointing spears at her, Mary gave a glance to Edward, who nodded to the guards, they lowered their spears and Mary took her seat.
The large, wooden oak door opened again, and someone all three Tudors recognised entered, Jane Grey. She was dressed in a crimson gown, which accentuated her figure.
Edward's emotionless face burst into a large smile as Jane walked towards them
