Jewels of the Grand Duchess

Oh, Lourdes, I envy you! You have so many beautiful jewels!

You give us no chance to present you with any if you already have them all! -smiles-

-Smiles- Well it's kinda of hard not to have them all when I was very close to becoming your Queen.

Some beautiful brooches for you, my darling...

My dear cousin Lourdes,

You haven't said a word about my gift. Do you like it or not? I must say I'm really curious...

Oh! I'm so sorry. With all that has happened I have not been able to even look at them!.

-Looks at the gifts and eyes immediately open wide-

These brooches are so beautiful! Thank you so much cousin. These shall by far be my most favorite to wear of them all.

I'm glad to hear that you like them, Lourdes. I shall give you more, as soon as I have something that really satisfies me... You know I'm sometimes way too perfectionist. What can I say, I'm also a human being, though I'm Queen Anne Boleyn...

*silently sighs*

Even though you are the Queen of England Anne, to be you will always be the Anne I have grown up with and idolize. Out of everyone in the family...-looks around making sure no one would listen- I love you the most!

Oh, Lourdes! Your words mean so much to me! You know I feel exactly the same things for you and that you are my favorite Boleyn! *looks around* But, shhh! don't tell my sister that I told you that!

I know you're not perfect, and neither am I, but I love you, no matter what you do to me, and I will do my best to protect you, as much as I can! No matter what happens, you're still my little duchess, Lourdes!

*takes Lourdes into her arms and hugs her*

I would never tell Mary, you know how Mary is. -Rolls eyes- But! we can't tell George either. You know George as well, he can't seem to keep his mouth closed. Especially when he takes more than he can handle, he gossips like us ladies at court! -giggles-

I couldn't dare do anything to truly anger you, or betray you in any way. Of course we would get mad at each other, but that's the way it is at times. Forever and always we will love each other, even if I don't have as much power as you. I will do my all to protect you and do my best to shield you from any ill words being thrown about you. I can't have that, I won't stand for it!

-Wraps her arms around Anne and gives her a tight warm embrace-

Oh! That is so nice and sweet of you, Lourdes! Don't worry, I don't think I have so many enemies... But, who can possibly know?

*Anne looks around, as if she were worried*
