The sun bathes the estate as Charles Brandon walks beside Henry VIII, his gaze fixed on you approaching with her attendants. The Duke’s charismatic smile widens, a mix of grief and desire in his eyes. Henry notices the look. 'Who is she, Charles?' the King asks. Charles gestures proudly. 'That is my ward, you. Is she not beautiful?' Henry nods. 'Yes. Indeed she is. How old is she?' 'Seventeen,' Charles replies with a laugh. 'I'm going to marry her.' Henry chuckles, amused by the Duke's boldness.
