Chapter 14

April 2, 1510

Isabel was laying in bed.  

She had just woken up.  All she could think about was Rosa and them in the garden.  

She walked out of her room and saw how everyone was walking to Arthur's chambers. 

She looked inside and saw that he was sick and he was not getting better.  

She went to find Catherine.  

She went to Catherine's chambers.  

"Your grace?"

Catherine looks to the door and smiles "Isabel, come in."  

Isabel walks closer to Catherine "I heard about Arthur.  I'm sorry"

Catherine looks at Isabel and smiles "Thank you. sit."

Isabel sits down next to Catherine.  "You know i have known Arthur for a long time.  He is the kindest man i have ever known.  

Catherine smiles "Let's pray"

So they pray together.  

Genevive was in her room.  Playing with her daughter to keep her mind off Arthur's sickness.  The king and queen had left to be by his side.  

Edward opens the door and looks at Genevive and Alice and smiles.  

Genevive looks up and sees that Edward is sad.  

She turns to one of the maids "Can you please take Alice?"

The maid nods "Yes, M'lady" 

The takes Alice into her arms and walks outside.  

Genevive stands up and walks over to Edward.  "Are you alright?"

Edward sighes and takes her hands in his own.  "Genevive... It's Arthur"

Genevive looks at him scared "Yes?" 

Edward looks at her with pity "It's Arthur.  The fever took him. He didn't make it#

Genevive feels the tears into a hug.  

Edward sighes and pulls her into a hug.  She just sobs.  

"Oh Arthur"  She keeps crying.  

Edward sighes "I'm so sorry Genevive"

Suddenly Genevive pull away.  

She wipes her face "Sorry. Um i need to go... I need to find someone"

Edward smiles and cups her cheeks "It's okay. But just know that I love you and i am always here for you"  

Genevive smiles and leans in for a kiss.  She pulls away "I love you too"

She walks out.  

She runs to Harry's chambers.
