WHO: The Boleyn girls WHAT: A rivalry of sorts WHEN: After Mary is ordered back to court by Daddy WHERE: Their shared rooms at Court
Mary disliked being back in the zoo of the Court. Not only did she miss the countryside and her children, she missed the freedom afforded her and the privacy she and William took advantage of. Now, back in the splendor of the royal court, unpacking her belongings, all she could focus on were her sensitive breasts, painful because they were bound so tight, and the memory of her father's words. Remind the King of the two children she had given him, win him back, or go to a nunnery.
Sighing softly, she removed her cloak, tossing it on the foot of the bed. She would have to go present herself to the Queen soon, she was certain. And she was definitely dreading it, dreading the disapproval she knew would be radiating off Catherine. First she and then her sister the objects of the King's desire. Oh dear.
