The Truth isn't Hidden For Long
After blurting out this sensitive information to Lord Henry, Lily felt guilty sink in. Was Lily getting married worth risking her friends and her queen's life? Lily asked her self this over and over again in her head. Yet, she couldn't come up with an answer.
To people looking at this relationship, Lord Henry seemed like an evil and manipulative person. But in Lily's eyes, he is a drug. When she is with him, most times he is vile and cruel. Sometimes with him, Lily can see a side no one sees. When Lily leaves him, she doesn't know what to do so she goes back to him. In Lily's perspective, it was right to tell Lord Henry everything.
While Lily laid next to Lord Henry thinking about what she did, Camila had many things on her head. If Camila didn't find a solution to whether she would marry, she will loose everything. Camila paced back and forth thinking. "Should I marry someone that would provide me with the wealth and stability I need, or have an affair with someone I might love and would provide me with wealth?" thought Camila.
Then, Camila heard a knock at the door and a servant came in. "My lady, a letter has arrived from Lord Charles." said the servant after bowing. Camila took the letter and read it to herself when the servant left.
"Dear Camila,
I am sorry to give you this unfortunate news. Now that there is going to be an alliance with England and Rome, I am can sell my goods more freely. By the time you get this letter, I will be selling away to England to sell goods. It is now Winter when I write this letter to you my dear, so I will return from my travels in the Spring.
Your Dearest,
Lord Charles"
After reading this letter, Camila jumped around the room with joy. Now that Lord Charles was gone, she would have more time with the king and more time to think of her decision. Camila that night secretly went to the king's chambers. Camila peeked into the king's bedchamber and saw something that she didn't want to see. She saw the king kissing one of his servants. Camila closed the door quickly and ran back into her bedchambers.
Camila put her head into her pillow and screamed. Then she cried all night. Camila was ready to give up everything for him and yet he betrayed her. Now she knew how the queen felt.
That night, Elizabeth was in Antonius's room. "Antonius, why haven't your parents let us marry yet?" asked Elizabeth.
"Don't worry your little head about things like that." said Antonius calmly. 611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡna57y4Xjpi
"Antonius, we must marry. I have been waiting for this for weeks." said Elizabeth. "If we don't marry, and soon, the alliance between our two countries would be demolished." 611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1dGoNkmjZ
Antonius's face turned when she said this. If the alliance with Rome wasn't kept, Rome would fall to crumbles. Antonius help Elizabeth's hands in his and said in the sweetest tone, "I will talk to my parents about the marriage." 611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEZrdIn406
The next morning, Camila came up with her plan. She would indeed marry Lord Charles. "The king thought I was only one of his play things instead of the woman he doesn't deserve." thought Camila. She got out a piece of paper and a pen. With the pen she wrote that she would be glad to accept the lord's proposal. 611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHyNGvvvDe
Camila was so caught up with this, she forgot to join the girls for breakfast. Camila went as fast as a lady should to meet her friends in the hall. "Sorry I was late." said Camila. "Don't worry about it, breakfast hasn't even started yet." said Elizabeth. Both Lily and Camila could tell something was different about her. 611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmh9lNW5Y7
They all took their seats at the dinning table. As Camila ate, she couldn't help looking at the king. More than anything she wanted to stay away from him, he only caused heartbreak. But, Camila for some reason liked that. As she looked, she could see Antonius talking to his father about something. 611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPUhzHQUGW
Elizabeth too noticed that he was talking to the king. "There is hope for our marriage." thought Elizabeth. Soon everyone exited the dinning room, Camila stayed behind because she thought the king had a right to know her plans. But when she went to find the king, she saw him talking to Lord Henry in the dinning room. 611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pBHxC1Mtu
Camila hid behind one of the pillars to listen to the conversation. "Your honesty, I have something very important to talk to you about." 611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCaXqvlVtM
"Everyone says that, Lord Henry. I have other things to do." 611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS57DQwYnVT
"I know you would be pleased to hear this. For he deals with Elizabeth and the alliance with England. There is something she is hiding from you." said the lord. The king was very interested in this and didn't stop him from talking. If the king knew of Elizabeth's pregnancy, everything that Elizabeth achieved would be crumbled. 611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnJW33d2Wn
Camila came from behind the pillar and walked towards the king. "Your majesty!" said Camila with a bow. 611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZa5soznvCs
"What is it?" asked the king impatiently. 611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8cPFKarSv
"The queen needs you quickly. She says its important." said Camila. The king jumped out of his chair and went to find the queen, leaving Camila and Lord Henry alone. 611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VVcLazuoC
"You lied to your king to save your friend?" snickered the lord. 611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0i6JnDy4Y
"I didn't lie to the king for a friend. I did it for my queen." said Camila. "The more important matter is, what were you going to tell the king?"611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrnLNQCZuo
"I was just going to tell him the truth. Which is that Elizabeth is pregnant and trying to pin the baby on his son." said the Lord Henry. 611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48vJDVsC0C
"That is just a lie. Who told you such a thing." said Camila. Rage built up in Camila. 611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyqWyGF1MA
Lord Henry just laughed a bitter laugh and left the room. Camila thought of who would tell him such a thing. The only people that knew were Elizabeth, Camila, and Lily. Camila had a hard time believing Lily would sell them out. She Lily was a gossip, but that much of one to sell out her friends?611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAoDk1LsBJU
Soon Camila and the rest of court will find out that Lord Henry has a lot planned and it isn't in Elizabeth's favor. 611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPENKqVODoA
