chapter 13 - catherine. The Marriage of Parr

 Edward stayed up all night and then instructed Lucy to leave him alone, he needed to catch up on his sleep as he was still feeling quite weak and couldn't hurt himself too much for the sake of his brother.

 Lucy did her part well, too, and without her usual mischievousness, began to attend to Edward's undressing.

 When Edward lay down on the bed, unable to bear the fatigue of his body any longer, he slowly closed his eyes.

 Lucy helped Edward with the goose down comforter and gently closed the door to his room, Lucy knew that Edward couldn't have any noise before he went to bed or he wouldn't be able to sleep.

 I don't know how long it took Edward just felt a sore neck, a foggy brain, and a mouth that was dry as hell. It was all he could do to get up in a daze.

 "Lucy! Lucy! Get me a glass of water quickly." The first thing Edward did when he woke up was call for Lucy to pour water.

 And Lucy didn't let Edward down, not long after a sound of footsteps came, Lucy held a glass of warm water to Edward's lips, who gulped it down.

 After drinking a whole large glass of water Edward breathed a sigh of relief and burped, the whole person was quick to get up, the tiredness of staying up all night one was gone.

 "Your Majesty! Don't stay up all night if you know you're not well, you don't know how worried we are about you!" Lucy said with concern as she helped Edward dress.

 Knowing that he was in bad shape and that he was at a disadvantage, Edward couldn't do much to argue, so he had no choice but to helplessly raise his hands in surrender.

 "Okay! I surrender, Sister Lucy has to be all right I'll try not to stay up later!"

 "Huh!" Lucy laughed at Edward's tired look, "Your Majesty, while you were asleep, Princess Mary, Princess Elizabeth, and Queen Dowager Catherine came to see you!"

 "What? The sisters and the Mother are here!" "En, and the Lord Duke of Somerset has sent to greet you as well! And Archbishop Cranmer, the Lord Earl of Walkley ... have sent to greet you."

 Edward hadn't realized that he'd ruffled almost everyone's feathers just by sleeping.

 Edward had not yet adjusted from his position, even if he had little power at the moment, but he now represented England and Wales, as well as the less obedient Ireland, and his every move was noticeable.

 Just moments ago, the sixteen Regents outside Windsor Castle breathed a sigh of relief in unison upon hearing that Edward had awakened.

 Because if anything happens to Edward, it will be Princess Mary who, unsurprisingly, will take the throne, and the Council of Regents will have no need to exist, and they won't be acting for the king anymore.

 Edward hadn't even caught his breath when a gust of wind blew in and a figure wrapped him in a tight hug, strangling Edward until he couldn't speak.

 Without needing to, Edward knew it was Elizabeth, and helplessly Edward could only hint at Lucy with his eyes.

 Lucy saw this and immediately understood and said to Elizabeth "Your Highness, please let go of His Majesty for a moment, he's out of breath!"

 Lucy's prompting was effective, only to see Elizabeth ahhh and let go of Edward, looking down at her feet with a red face.

 Edward took this opportunity to take a big breath of fresh air, and Elizabeth's head dropped even lower when she saw this.

 "Isha! Don't be so reckless in the future, you need to behave like a princess!" Edward took this opportunity to teach Princess Elizabeth a lesson, and Elizabeth lowered her head in embarrassment without saying a word.

 Edward was pleased with Elizabeth's obedience and was not pleased with himself. But such happy times did not last long before Elizabeth was back to her old self.

 "Hey! Edward, you're even lecturing your sister, stop it, okay?" "Yes! Aye! I understand, I understand!" Facing Elizabeth who had regained her fighting strength, Edward could only back down.

 Edward's backing down obviously worked, and Elizabeth gave Edward a haughty blank look that was extraordinarily cute. Once she saw that Edward was okay, she turned around, tossed her long, beautiful blonde hair, and bounced out the bedroom door on her buckskin boots.

 "Oh! I almost forgot, when you wake up, Catherine has something to discuss with you!" Elizabeth was almost gone without a trace when she suddenly dropped such a sentence that made Edward puzzled.

 Edward couldn't care less about that for now, the priority was to fill his stomach.

 Half an hour later, Edward walked with his maid Lucy to the bedchamber of Queen Dowager Catherine.

 Along the way Edward pondered Queen Catherine's life and wondered what she was doing looking for herself for nothing!

 In the year of , Catherine, aged , married Edward Bowe, 2nd Baron Borrow of Gainesboro. Edward died in the spring of the year. Catherine Parr in the year she married John Neville, 3rd Baron Latimer of Snape in North Yorkshire. Catherine was taken hostage by northern rebels along with her two stepchildren during the events of the Seeking Grace Parade in the year. John Neville died in the year.

 At the home of Princess Mary (later Mary I), daughter of Henry VIII and Catherine of Aragon, Catherine Parr caught the king's eye. After the passing of her second husband, the wealthy widow developed an affair with Thomas Seymour, 1st Baron Seymour of Hewdley, brother of Queen Jane Seymour.

 But the king loved her so much that she had to accept his affection.

 According to history, is it possible that she has rekindled an old flame with Edward's cheap second uncle, Thomas Seymour, natch! It must be!

 Edward arrived at Whitehall Palace with Lucy, "Knock, knock, knock!" Lucy walked forward and knocked on the door.

 Soon a shapely maid came out and led Edward into the bedchamber, and a feeling of opulence and grandeur came over Edward.

 Because Edward felt that he was already the king of England, Wales, and Ireland, his status was too noble to go any further with the decoration. On the contrary the simple decoration was more forced.

 In fact, Edward's thinking was wrong at this time. A French emissary visited England in the time of Henry VIII, who received the emissary in a great deal of gold and silver because he had money from the Reformation.

 As a result, the emissaries returned to France with great praise for England, calling it an already enlightened and civilized country. Yes, the former continental European countries had always considered England a barbarian country, uncivilized.

 From this we can see to what extent people at that time worshipped gold.

 Edward can't control her either, because the Lord Queen is free to use her dowry as she pleases.

 With respect, Edward met Queen Catherine, while Lucy, the lady-in-waiting, had remained at the door.

 The Queen's face is particularly delicate, different from the roughness of the West, and the figure has not gone out of shape, and then with a hint of nobility, no wonder Edward's cheap second uncle still likes her.

 She looked as if she wanted to say something, and then after a moment she seemed to have made up her mind, and said with a little shyness "Edward! I have decided to marry your uncle Thomas Seymour!"
