For Charles this was a great moment, although he had no idea that his majesty was to announce the engagement of himself and Lady Harrington.

" Your majesties His Grace The Duke of Suffolk and Lady Harrington"! Announced the Kings herald.

" Charles, Isabelle come sit with me"! Henry smiled as lovingly kissed Isabelle on both cheeks.

The Duke lead Isabelle to the table where Lady Anne sat with her father, brother and Uncle The Duke of Norfolk.

The Boleyns gave her a scowl and his Grace gave them one back Isabelle was innocent.

The Earl of Wiltshire nodded and smiled at Lady Isabelle ... " Its good to see you up and about my Lady"!

His majesty continued his attentions with the Lady Isabelle as he guided to the seat next to him.

" Lords ladies and gentlemen of the Court! My dearest Cousin here Lady Isabelle and His Grace The Duke of Suffolk are to be wed"! The King announced with joy.

The entire Court erupted in cheers and clapping and merriment but Lady Anne wasn't happy about this marriage. The King has not announced their marriage yet.

Isabelle chided her Cousin " Your majesty! Please no"!

" nonsense my dearest cousin you are to have the wedding here at the palace"! Henry announced.

Isabelle greatly missed the Lady Mary she enjoyed with chatter and joyful laughter..
