Claude looked over at Henri.

The King was bent over his desk writing furiously. He kept picking up the paper. He would look at it and scratch his chin before discarding it.

“What are you doing, friend of mine?” Claude asked standing up and walking over to him.

Henri dipped his pen into the well.

“I am writing to Lady Anna,” Henri said.

Claude opened his mouth surprised.

“Surely you mean the Lady Marie?” Claude asked.

Henri looked up from the paper. He glanced at Claude before crumpling up the paper again.

“No, I am writing to Lady Anna, my friend.”

“But why?”

“I find her to be the most beautiful, the most graceful, and most charming woman I have ever met,” Henri said fingering with a ring on his finger.

“But you are involved with the lady’s sister. She is pregnant with your child.”

Henri stopped writing and looked up at Claude.

“Do you have a point?”

Claude laughed. “I don’t know, I guess it would be uncouth of you to be writing one sister when the other is heavy with your child.”

Henri clicked his tongue.

“Do not act as if you’ve never done this before. Have you forgotten the Dufor sisters? You seduced both of them, my friend.”

Claude coughed. He had forgotten about that.

“I am need of your opinion though, Claude. Do you think I should send the lady a token of affection? She gave me this ring I wear before she left, but I do not think it was out of affection. I confess I nearly had to beg it off of her.”

“A token of affection would let the lady know that you are thinking of her,” Claude mused.

Henri smiled. He stood up.

“I have an idea for a ring made in the shape of rose. I think it would fit her, my lovely little rose Anna.”

Henri passed Claude and opened the door before stepping out. His guards followed him.

Claude shook his head and looked over at the pile of discarded paper.

“I do believe he is enamored by the Everart girl. Those Everarts…what is it about them?”

They're wonderfully foppish in this. It makes me wonder if there's going to be a comeuppance eventually.

Henri, you are a shallow, fickle man. I guess he can get away with that, being the king and all.

Well, there's a king for you. Poor Marie.
