The morning light pierced the heavy velvet curtains of the bedroom, illuminating the disarray. King Edward VI sat abruptly on the edge of the bed, his gray eyes cold and devoid of remorse. He hastily donned his royal robes and placed the crown upon his head, the metal clinking softly. Turning to you, his expression was a mask of fierce contempt. "I don't recall my drunken actions last night," he said, his voice steady and cruel. "I offer no apology. This remains our secret. You are merely a lowly woman, tainted by your mother's shame, far more despicable than Elizabeth or Mary in my sight."
