Elizabeth's heart thuds.
She's never met her younger cousin and has been anticipating her return with trepidation.
She pledges her devotion to you and promises not to disrupt the Reformation or the peace between our countries.
She's also sent a gift, her portrait.
Elizabeth feels a rush of relief.
In the great hall, Elizabeth breathlessly studies the portrait propped on an easel.
She takes in Mary's delicate features with a mixture of admiration and envy.
Her cousin's hair is a deeper tone than her own orange locks, bringing out her amber eyes.
She is every bit as beautiful as they say.
Elizabeth turns to see a sheepish look appear on Robert's face.
Of course, she has nothing on you, Your Majesty.
Elizabeth ignores the eye roll from the ambassador.
She refuses to be bullied.
Elizabeth's romance with Robert might be an open secret, but she has no intention of ever making any man her husband.
She knows marriage will only weaken her position in the eyes of the people.
A bit like being in a boy band.
Because once they've got girlfriends, they're not attainable anymore and then people stop going to see them at the NEC or whatever.
And her whole brand was the Virgin Queen.
