Under the cover of nightfall and armed with nothing but her silver tongue, Anne had managed to sneak you through the elegantly decked halls and into one of the possibly of hundreds of uninhabited rooms. A stag head loomed over the ornate space, it looked as if nobody except the cleaning staff had stepped foot in there for many years.

"I'm not too sure about this." Anne took your hand and once you were in, silently closed the doors behind her. She waltzed her way around the room, drawing the curtains and lighting the candles that littered the walls one by one. Slowly the cold ambience warmed.

Anne crawled onto the bed and gestured for you to join her, you wanted nothing more from the world but Anne was Henry's... King Henry's wife and if he even saw the two of you alone in a bedroom your head would be next for the block. "I said, I don't know if this is a good idea." As if she was in control of your every move, you walked forwards.

Once you were within reach she grabbed onto the bottom of your shirt and pulled you in, you almost fell on top of her, but a quick twist saw you lying next to her instead.

"Don't worry. Henry's out on one of his late-night hunting adventures, probably getting his staff to do something that he can return home to brag about. He won't be back until tomorrow." Her leg stretched across your waist as she attempted to clamber onto you. "So elegant yet such a hassle these dresses. If only somebody could unlace it for me, I would be able to move much more freely. I'd be much more... flexible." Still half on top of you she turned to face the other way, and held her hair above her head, letting a few strands flow down.

"Are you sure about this? I wouldn't want to be accused of leading the innocent Queen down a dark path." Your hands un-wove the lacing of her dress, and she stood up allowing the fabric to almost fall straight off her figure.

"I've been driven to this, it's really isn't my fault. To be honest, the only thing Henry's hunting is other women. Just because he's the king, why should he get all the fun?"

She strode forward, making her way around the room, blowing out almost all the candles.
