The Queen's Garden

This story is about a young girl, who at the tender age of fifteen becomes the Queen of England.  It was not by choice, however.  She had been the maid-in-waiting for the last Queen, just before she and her lover, were beheaded for their adultery.  The young new Queen lives each and every day as though she's a tetrahedron, just waiting for the one who will give her away.

 

 Soon, at the hands of all the vulgarity and violence she suffers from the King, "Annabella" is no longer the non-entity girl he has taken for his Wife.  And she remains a virgin!  For she quickly found out the King cannot be a man.  But she is still the Chosen Queen for all the people to watch. Yes.  Watch, until she also, might fall from grace and become a public spectacle at the sharp-bladed Guillotine!

 

One night, at the picking of the new guards celebration, the King was again consuming large quantities of wine, until he became stone drunk.  His public and pluralistically, heinous behavior towards Annabella was vicious and she was left alone in front of the heartless crowd.  She is left barren with her feelings of misanthropy.  While the King is carried off by his servants to his bedchamber, Annabella sits on the floor, weeping.  She cries to herself, "Why, dear God, why?  Why is this happening to me?  What have I done to deserve this?"  Just then she hears a gentle voice, saying, "Come, my Queen, I will help you."

 

As someone pulls Annabella to her feet, she looks up and into the face of a boy she'd grown up with. It is - Christian.  A warm and loving, tender soul.

 

Christian is taken with questions of how Annabella became the Queen.  She tells him to go- "You cannot let the King, or anyone else here see that you know me.  He will kill you!" she warns, "get away and don't ever touch, or look at me again!  Have you heard what I’ve said!" she asks.  "Yes, my Queen," her friend answers and then walks away.  After increasingly brutal and atrocious attacks are committed upon Annabella by the King, Annabella realizes she must kill him.  And while she plots and tries so very meticulously for his murder ... she fails so very miserably.

 

One eerie night, Annabella is awakened by the deafening roar of thunder.  She’d been drinking wine to take away her tortuous pain, enough so she’d fallen fast asleep.  But when she was wakened without warning by the storm, she instinctively knew she wasn't alone.  But she was so tired, she remained in bed.  The rain coming in through her open windows felt cool on her raw and beaten body.  The storm was getting louder and more forceful.  She lay quite still.

 

Then it happened!

 

As she looked up at the open castle windows, just as the brilliant lightning was flashing through them, she saw a specter of a woman!  This was the very same woman she had previously seen in a painting.  A picture that the King had hidden inside his always-locked bedchamber, along with other mysterious clues to the King's dark past.  

 

The Apparition was beautiful - yet when the lightning went dark, so did she.  Annabella doesn't comprehend what it’s all supposed to mean.

 

The secret revealed in this intimate portrait of Anne Boleyn is a sordid one.

 

By hearing her story first hand, we discover she is never to be alone in her pain again. We also learn the terrible secret of King Henry the VIII that no history book will ever contain.
