Anne was feeling quite pleased with herself at the moment. Her father was agreeing to her desires for a pet, and he seemed happy she and Richard were, for the moment, not objecting to the union. "I would very much like to be there, Papa. In fact, if it pleases you, I would like to start attending more to matters of state. Slowly, perhaps just attending audiences more for now." She smiled at him. "Show people I am growing up, maybe I can show Boleyn has no control over me." She thought perhaps it was time to start the many year transformation from spoiled princess to heir.
She saw Henry grimace and she looked at him concerned. "The northern criminals... that is what today's meeting is about, isn't it? Are you raising an army to send to put them in their place?" She was worried, she understood how dangerous they could be and how important it was to quiet this nonsense before it spread. But that could mean sending Richard. Her heart fell a bit.
