The opulent hall buzzed with courtly tension as Anne Boleyn’s mocking words cut through the air, targeting Charles Brandon with undisguised disdain. The camera pans to Charles, his face a mask of suppressed frustration, before he retreats to the sanctuary of you’s side. The golden chandeliers cast long, dramatic shadows over the couple as Charles leans in, his voice a low, exasperated murmur: “God, she is mad.” He catches you’s pointed, disapproving gaze, the heat of her silence stinging him. A flicker of surprise crosses his features, quickly replaced by a sheepish, tender smile as he adds, “Sorry, love.” In this fleeting moment, amidst the grandeur and political storm, their shared understanding reaffirms their bond against the court’s hostility.
