“Pastime with good company
I love and shall, until I die.
Grudge who list, but none deny!
So God be pleased, thus live will I.”

Solo | "A final farewell to a beloved mother"
It wasn't that long ago that he had just lost his brother. Arthur had always been his parents' golden son, which didn't bother Harry, because being the second born son gave him the freedom to just be himself without major consequences. But when Arthur left them because he had died unexpectedly, his heart sank. How many times he wished then that he had treated his brother with more respect. But it was too late and he could only address his words to God and hope that he would accept his grief.
His heart was already very hurt, melancholy was his new companion, Catherine of Aragon, who still gave his life a certain lightness, tried to give him good moments for which he was very grateful. She had become a new companion that he had come to appreciate very much. Of course he wasn't supposed to have feelings for her, but he was still young and he couldn't deny that he really did have a crush on her, to the dismay of others.
When the day came when his mother left him and died, he didn't know if he could really carry all that grief on his shoulders. They felt heavy with each more day and his father was very sad as well and lost in his grief. After all, he had lost everything that had been very important to him over the years.
Now Harry was standing there at his mother's grave, touching the stone she was lying under, his mind spinning and, like Arthur, imagining what it would be like to lie there, dead and taken from life. It had to be so unbelievably cold there. It was perhaps stupid this thought but very lively. He now said another prayer, he hoped that God would guide him through the difficult time, he could not lose his father, even if the relationship was very tense.
The feeling he had in his heart area made him feel like he was losing his ground, he was too young to lose his mother. The thought of how he lost her made it even harder. No one understood what was going on inside him, even if he could have talked about it, it was very difficult for him. The tears rolled down his cheek with every thought of his mother. He still wanted to say so much, to spend so much time with her. He missed her very much.
After some time, his grandmother came to him, she did not need to say anything to know where to find her grandson. There were only a few left of the family and the newborn child, which was very weak. They had named it Katherine, so she was the little new sister.
Harry glanced at his grandmother and wiped away his tears, but the harder he tried to hide the tears and sadness he felt, the more it crept up inside him and overwhelmed him, pulling another sob from his lips.
"I pray for my mother and my brother, do you want to pray with me?" He asked her and without saying anything she came over to him and put an arm around her grandson and then she nodded. "We pray together and then we go to your father, he needs us now more than ever." And with that Harry gave his farewell to his mother and thought of her in this prayer and hoped that God would listen to him.
Prince Harry Tudor: "I don't know how you ever came to England knowing you might never see your mother again. I know it sounds foolish, but I'm afraid that she's... that she's cold down there."

He hadn’t been thrilled that Cardinal Wolsey had to leave at exactly these times. Church matters, but who would he be if he wouldn’t let him go? Wolsey had made sure he would have representation at the royal court and so Henry was satisfied for now.
There were now important matters that he urgently needed to pursue and for that he now counted on Thomas Cromwell. His gaze lingered somewhat on the man, who he felt was showing humility, which might be good for him, but the king also valued honesty around him.
“Cardinal Wolsey, ‘made it very clear: you are the best man for it. Is he wrong? I need someone by my side who I can trust completely. If he has proposed you, his word counts and you are the right man for the job. You will accompany me. Various important people are expected at the royal court today, such as “Duke of Buckingham, find out what he plans against me or if he is still part of my family which I trust.” It was a test, Wolsey had talked a great deal about Thomas and if the young man would do his duties well and the king would do well in that time of his, there was a fitting place for him permanently at the royal court.
Whenever the cardinal was gone from court, Thomas was his eyes and ears, and would dutifully report to him all that had gone on. He was proud at hearing that Wolsey had spoken well of him to the king, for that was no small thing that he should think to mention to the most powerful man in England. But he could never have expected that it might lead to his. He was given what seemed like an extremely important task… and Thomas could not bear to imagine failing. Neither for his own sake, but most importantly, for Wolsey’s. He could not be the reason that the cardinal might lose credibility in the king’s eyes. “I vow to serve you as faithfully as His Grace would if he were here,” he replied, so even though it was Thomas might do the job, he cared not about getting the credit, and that he was fine with the cardinal getting it instead. “I will discover any plots against your person.” But he didn’t even know if there actually were any or not. Who would dare to go against the king? “What makes you suspect him, Your Majesty?” He inquired, hoping to get a little more information about the matter. Thomas knew that in this he could no afford to be wrong… that if he did accuse the duke, he had to be certain about it. Because he was just some lowly servant… he could not imagine what might happen to him, going up against a nobleman.
He watched him throughout the conversation, seeing the effect he was having on him. Kind of fascinating, what a power it was, almost reflected on his face with a small smile. Henry leaned forward slightly.
"I know the task is not an easy one, but if I knew for sure if there was any truth in it, don't you think I wouldn't have passed judgment already? He wouldn't be in the Tower already, screaming for mercy? It's rumours, and even if it's rumours, it brings damage to me and the crown. Some say he wants to take the throne, find out what's true and tell me all about it!" He had raised his voice a little, hoping that Cromwell would have understood the urgency better.
Then he sat back again and looked outside for a moment to get another matter what was urgent. "As it is also time to start looking for a suitable wife to be my new queen. Will you support me there too? I was thinking about Jane, I found my soulmate but she was taken from me. Let Master Hohlbein make some portraits that suit me but I won't take just any ordinary she has to suit me and the English folk have to love her. Because she will be the next Queen of England." He said now more thoughtfully and looked back at the young man. He had a lot on his mind and while some things needed to be done quickly he tried to sort things out that bothered him very deeply.
He was utterly disarmed by the offer. He was nothing but a servant to the Cardinal Wolsey, which meant that he was ignored by everyone else at court. To think that he might have even caught the eye of the king was something he could never have imagined. Customarily, Thomas remained at court while the cardinal was away, so that he could tell his master all the going-ons when he returned. He was so taken aback by it that he wasn’t quite sure how to respond. “I am honoured to be thought of, Your Majesty,” he replied graciously, for to be taken as part of the diplomatic party was a great honour. “But I am not sure that in good conscience that I could take the place of a man better suited for this esteemed position.” He showed the humility of one lower born, who could hardly expect that he could presume to do what a nobleman could. Though… what he truly felt might be different.
