chapter •permission

° IMMA JUST SAY IT AGAIN THAT I DON'T SPEAK OR KNOW ANY RUSSIAN SO IF I GET IT WRONG PLEASE FORGIVE ME. ANY SORRY IF YOU DON'T LIKE THE CHAPTER, IT WAS A LAST MINUTE CHANGE.

Many days have passed by and Kathleen had kept quiet. Anastasia was starting to get suspicious that Kathleen was planning something, together with Henry. She wondered... No, it couldn't be. Kathleen isn't... Henry's mistress, right?

Kathleen wouldn't do that to Anastasia, they have been friends since they were children. Maybe Anastasia was just being paranoid, Anne Boleyn was the same way. But she will not end up like Anne.

Anastasia sat my the window and stared out of it. She still missed her child with all her heart. Maria walked over with a smile planted on her face. She bows.

"My Queen, Lord Ambrose is here." Maria said.

"Why are you smiling like that Maria? Is he here for you?" Anastasia teases, but Maria shakes her head. Maria leans in.

"I believe he is here to ask permission to court Anna." Maria smiles. Anastasia stands up and walks over to were Ambrose stood with two roses in hand. The other ladies were there as well, Sarah, Anna, Kathleen, and Caroline. He bowed to Anastasia, handing her a pink roses.

"Your Majesty, you are well, I hope?" Ambrose asked. Anastasia looks at the rose and smiled.

"Yes, very. What brings you here?" Anastasia questions.

"I have asked permission from His Majesty and now I ask you for permission..." Ambrose spoke nervously. Anastasia looked at Maria as if telling her she was right. Anastasia looks back to Ambrose.

"Permission for..."

"To court the Lady Anna." Ambrose spoke. Anna immediately looks up. A tiny hint of blush appears on her cheeks and looks down with a small smile. Anastasia looks at Anna and smiles.

"I believe no other has made Anna blush like this. My answer will be what Anna decides. If she agrees then I will too." Anastasia says. Ambrose nods and turns to Anna. He hands her the red rose he was holding just for her.

"Lady Anna?"

"Yes, my lord?"

"I hope to make you very happy. Just being able to look at you fills my heart with joy. But you must also know that I may make you sad, even without me knowing it. I hope you feel the same and share my feeling as well. What do you say?"

"I would like nothing more than to be in your company, my lord." Anna says softly. Ambrose smiled and looks at Anastasia. Anastasia nods in approval.

"With Your Majesty's permission, I would like to take a walk with Lady Anna in the gardens." Ambrose asked. Anastasia nods in approval and the newly courting couple leave with a bow. Once the door closes, Maria, Kathleen, and Sarah squealed in happiness for their friend. Anastasia laughed along with them. Caroline was the only one to not react...it was just courting.

"Vy smutili menya v posledniy raz, Ol'ga. Ty menya slyshish', v posledniy raz!" You have embarrassed me for the last time, Olga. Do you hear me, for the last time!

"What will you do now, father? Send me away?" Olga challenged while speaking in England and not her native tongue.

"Yes, I will be sending you away to the countryside, then after you will be sent out of the kingdom. To England. You will be with your sister and hope you will learn a thing or two about dignity. I've already written to Anastasia about your... condition." The Tsar explains. Olga scowled, crossing her arms.

"You just couldn't wait to have me gone. Fine then, send me away. I'm happy to leave." Without permission, she left the room quickly. When she turned the corner she stopped and leaned up against the wall. Her hand fell on her stomach, for there was a baby in there.
