Having left court in 1555, Ursula Dudley re-joins the circular of King William III at Hampton Court as Countess of Pembroke and mother of two. At her reintroduction, she is afforded the opportunity to play in le Chateau Vert against her inner wishes. Before she can open her mouth to object, she is named justice - either in jest, or in honest sincerity by manner of the dowager queen. With her children kept from the inner sanctum, Ursula makes her way through the celebration, her arm entwined with her husband’s. 

henry percy was always going to be patience, from his first le chateau vert, henry and the then-prince william had poked fun at his forever best-man status, to be the one on the edge rather than in the centre as the heir to england was. patience, it seemed, was a good fit for him. but henry didn’t mind, he had played the role since the age of sixteen and at twenty-two, he thought it more fitting than ever. yet without a bride or even a prospective match, henry percy awaits his future by the command of his trusted friend and benevolent king. 

Though Eleanor derives from a renowned family tree, Honour maintains integrity, perseverant to code and dignity, esteemed through sheer merit and integrity. Maintaining the virtue of honour is to be remembered. She sways with a reassured gait, sound and resolute. Her head held high, encompassing the smooth presence of a trait that earns respect, glory, virtue- if mastered, earns the spoils of glorious victory’s reward. Honour to be upheld, respected. Though she struggles to maintain a stoic calmness she associates with honour. Whilst gliding serene for the presentation, it is her stubborn amusement, subtle and dark, which lurks beneath Honour’s mask. Evident mischief,  hidden amongst the gleam of her eyes.
