→ MAUDE OF HOUSE TUDOR
THE ENGLISH HAVE always been an enigma for someone like him. A country that’s presented itself as a worthy ally, though not by his own hand. For his sister is one of the only ties he bears anymore. But Fernando can’t help but wonder if he were to ask her now how she felt, she’d be dissatisfied. The conflict only left her without a husband and a b a s t a r d on their throne. And while he wonders how far loyalty can spread before it’s too thin, the king remains passive. If events continue the way they have tonight, their problem may just solve itself.
He leans back against a wall as panicked onlookers pass by. Their hushed whispers of the prince and poison do little for him. It’s all a facade. When they return to their chambers the r e a l emotions will come out. ❝ To only be a fly on the wall. ❞ The king mumbles to himself.
