“So you are sure that your sister will be there?” Henri asked Lord Selle.
Jean Luc nodded his head. “She will be alone. She should be embroidering or something or another.”
Henri smiled. “Thank you for helping me, my good man.”
Jean Luc returned the King’s smile. “It was my pleasure.”
Henri left Jean Luc and walked up the stairs leading to the Lady Anna’s bedroom. He knocked slightly when he arrived there.
“Come in,” came the reply.
Henri turned to the knob and entered the room. Anna was pulling out stitches from her hoop. She didn’t look up immediately.
“What can I do for you?” She asked stilling concentrating on her hoop.
“I have an offer for you,” Henri said huskily.
Suddenly Anna looked up. She quickly stood and curtseyed low.
“You may rise, Lady Anna.”
Anna rose and stepped back a bit.
The room was quiet while they looked at each other. It was Anna who finally broke the silence.
“You said you had an offer for me, Your Majesty?”
Henri stepped closer to her. He ran his index finger over her shoulder.
“Yes. I would like you to become my mistress.”
A confused look crossed her face.
“Excuse me?”
Henri smiled at her again. “I said I would like you to become my mistress.”
“No,” she said sharply.
Henri stepped back a pace. “What do you mean?”
Anna cleared her throat. “To your inquiry I say no. I will not become your mistress.”
Henri ran his hand through his hair. “But why not? The position comes with perks. If we have children, they will be given prestigious titles and you will never want for anything.”
“If we have children they will be bastards,” Anna said lowly.
Henri chuckled. “Well yes of course. But they will never need to ask for anything. They will have the best educations and great opportunities and-“
“You mean the boys will,” Anna said walking away from Henri.
He followed her. “The girls as well. My daughter Princess Marie is very well educated.”
Anna turned back to him and smirked. “Yes because she is the heir”
“Yes,” Henri said reaching for her. Anna held herself back.
“I have to decline your offer, Your Majesty. Not only because it dishonors my virtue, but I am promised elsewhere.”
Henri frowned. “What do you mean?”
“I am promised to Lord de Villy.”
Henri started to laugh. “That upstart! What could marriage to him possibly offer that I haven’t?”
“He offers the children of my body the security of being born legitimate.”
That stopped Henri’s laughing.
“Now if you would be so kind.” Anna said opening the door.
Henri sighed and walked toward the door.
“You underestimate me if you think I will give up that easily, Lady Anna. I will have you.”
Anna didn’t say anything as Henri left the room. She closed the door behind him.
“The nerve of him,” Anna said. “If he thinks I’ll go the way of my sister…”
Anna sighed. She went to the window and looked outside. The sun was just setting. She wondered where Rainer was. She wanted him to hold her and tell her everything would be okay. But in her heart, she knew things would never be the same.
