Lady Jane Grey &amp; King Edward VI


She was staring at the lake. He, on the other hand, was staring at her. She was so beautiful. Edward liked to appreciate her eyes and her lips. Such a beautiful smile she had, and when they were together, which was 90% of the time, Jane smiled. Shyly or not, that didn’t matter.

—What are you staring at, Edward?—asked Jane, in her soft and calm tone. Her eyes always glow whenever she looks at him.

—Me?—he pondered if he should say that she was in his thoughts. Instead, Edward smiled and, approaching, he sat next to her.—I was staring at you.

She blushed.

—But why? Is there anything I have done to displease you, Your Majesty?—Jane looked concerned.

He shook his head and laughed. “Stop calling me ‘Your Majesty1, Jane." They were alone, so what could possibly go wrong? But there was something going wrong, indeed. Jane would marry soon and Edward was getting very, very sick. Yet, they decided to ignore what was becoming obvious.

They both stood and tried not to look so obvious about it. Jane goes red, and so does Edward. He should say it… Shouldn’t he? Or would it be too late?&nbsp;

Jane couldn’t stare at him. She lowered her gaze, pretending to be distracted at something underneath her feet. But her heart was beating fast. Finally, she dared to look up. She couldn’t bear that silence anymore.

—Jane.

—Yes?

He hesitated and turned his head at his right. There were two guards there, and more two on his left. Edward sighed. Never, ever alone with her. Unless… But his time was running out. And he was starting to feel dizzy. I…Must…Say it. He took her hands into his, trying hard not to shake.&nbsp;

But Jane noticed he was unwell.

—Edward. You are shaking, are you all right?

—I am… Just… I need to tell you…—he was obviously in a struggle against himself. Jane was nervous, her eyes going wide, she was trying to convince him &nbsp;to go back inside.—No. Please, Jane… Listen.&nbsp;

She stopped talking and squeezed his hand, her eyes going teary. Edward was not surprised. He knew they were aware of his time in Earth and, most important was, that he would finally leave without paint. He could only but hope to meet his beloved Jane in Heavens with him someday.&nbsp;

The time was running out. He needed to say, so he shook his head and spoke:

—I love you. I shouldn’t ever say this, shouldn’t be open about my feelings… Shouldn’t…—he coughed—I… Jane, forgive me, if I was not a king, if I was not a weak king, or even if I was not their pawn…—he coughed again—I’d marry you.

—Edward, I…—before she could say a word, he smiled a bit. He knew it and fainted.&nbsp;

She screamed. She didn’t know what to do. She was taken away. What would be of her now? The hours were going darker. The marriaged happened so fast.

But it was in July, oh that month! It was in July that lady Jane Grey, now known as lady Jane Dudley, lost her beloved for the Heavens. She lost her cousin, her best friend and the only one she would ever love in her entire existance.

Beyond this, Jane was now Queen of England, Ireland and France. The first Queen to rule England. A new life she never wanted was given to her. With those sad eyes, she knew darkness was just the beginning from now on.
