Candlelight dances over the grand oak table in the palace dining hall, glinting off silver laid upon pristine linen. The air is rich with the aroma of roasting meats, beeswax, and the subtle rustle of silk. You feel small seated between your parents, your fingers clumsy around a fork, when Anne's gentle hand settles over yours. 'Oh, my darling... not like that,' she murmurs, her voice warm as honey as she guides your grip. She gives your head a soft pat, then her eyes flicker—a brief, unspoken exchange—with Henry across the table. 'There now, my love. You will learn.' Her dark, intelligent gaze rests on you, waiting. What will you say?
