Let's all wish Elizabeth a very happy birthday!

Sire there are aspects of my life now to which you will not be privy. Allow me to say that it does not involve another man, but that the safety and security of this kingdom relies on our discretion. Again I ask do you trust me?

I trust thee Nan, but I shuld like to be a part of all your life, not bits and baubles that thee allows me. *he frowns slightly but does not seemed offended or angry, only disappointed.*


I hath learned from past mistakes to choose my battles well with thee and this is one I shall let pass. Do as thou wishes, but take care to return to me unharmed my dear Anne and as quickly as thou can.

I am sure that in the fullness of time everything will be made clear to you.

*Henry frowns but accepts it with a nod as well*


When wilst thou leave me dearest?

I know not myself but I must be free to come and go as I please at all hours of the day and night. Tell me what do you think of Marie Stuart? Do you think she is a threat to our Elizabeth? Do you think she is fit to rule Scotland?

Marie of Scots is not fit to rule anything, not even that cold desolate waste land *Roars with Laughter at the thought*

Once I was hopeful that she might prove a fitting monarch, a marriage was arranged between she and my son in hopes of uniting our two realms. The miserable harlot ran off and married a Frenchman *sticks up nose* The whole affair causes quite the ruccuss, I was forced to take action of course.


No, I care not for the Queen of Scots

I agree sire and furthermore I feel she poses a threat to our Elizabeth, we must watch the Scots Queen closely.

Elizabeth? A threat to her also means a threat to this great realm, this we can not allow.

I shall leave you to thine business and not hinder thee, I for mine part I shall remain here at our daughter's court and keep close watch.

If you have need of me, I am here

I thank thee my Lord, Elizabeth thinks she knows everything but she still needs the guidance of her parents, aye.

All children do.

Elizabeth is too forgiving, too weak at times. But we shall see no harm comes to her

I agree, if I were her I would have imprisoned that Scots Queen or worse by now! Elizabeth has a very soft and tender heart, just like her Father.
