As both Damian and Yingtai stayed together for the time being, until the day of Yingtai’s royal wedding, Helmuth and Mary both watched in disgust.
“I’m just jealous of that man! That bloody, savage upstart!” he sneered.
“I think the same,” said Mary, “You and I both. Have you got the poisonous liquid in hand yet?”
Helmuth held the bottle of liquid high. Mary mentally rejoiced. But they did not notice that their plan was heard. Edward Tudor had always resented against his older sister.
And so, as a revenge, he put the horsetail liquid in his Mary’s tea and left it there for Mary to drink.
In the early hours of the morning, Helmuth was heard crying to his heart’s content as Mary of England laid in her bed, dead as a human’s corpse.
Someone had poisoned her. Someone close to her.
But Edward did not say anything. He did not even say anything to Yingtai either. He did not want to get her in trouble.
For some reason, he felt her sympathy as she wanted Damian to marry her. But even he hadn’t a choice to decide whom Yingtai would marry.
So, the funeral ceremony was held for a private service. Yingtai watched how Mary was buried under the green earth in such displeasement.
If I’m blamed and put to death, don’t feel too bad about it…I will always be with you!
And then, Sadako came to her room, with her wedding ring and gown.
“Come, Princess,” she said, “We must prepare you for your marriage.”
The servant dressed her in a beautiful wedding gown, with gold lace at the bottom of the skirt. Soon, Yingtai was ready to marry Phillip of Spain.
The ceremony took place at the famed cathedral in London, Westminster Abbey. All of the nobles and other royal subjects attended the ceremony. Including the Seven Nobles themselves. All of England was quite happy for the arranged couple. At least most of them.
For Damian, he felt plaintive. But for Yingtai, she felt the saddest out of all of the people in the cathedral.
As the ceremony went on, Yingtai and Damian could not contain their tears. They would let their tears escape from their eyes.
And then, once the priest said, “I now announce Phillip of Spain, Phillip of England!”
And then, Yingtai burst into tears, and so did Damian; and the girl slowly gave the twenty year old prince a not-so loving embrace.
And then, she reluctantly gave him a kiss.
After the ceremony, Phillip and Yingtai were to share a bedroom together in the palace. But Yingtai was not happy about that either. She was not having any of it at all!
“Why must you be so unhappy?” asked Phillip.
“Because, my lord,” said Yingtai, “I had to leave my previous love behind.”
Phillip frowned angrily, “What was your previous love’s name?”
“Damian!”
In the evening, the Counseling Court was getting ready for bed, when suddenly, they heard the men shouting from upstairs.
Terrified, they held onto each other for dear life. And then, the English guards of the Whitehall Palace burst through the entrance. Damian stood right in front of the six boys.
And then, Phillip stepped forward.
“The princess Mary I is dead, and one of you is to blame! And so as punishment, you will all be executed! After an evening of torture! Devices, please!”
And guards brought a table of evil devices and tortured them for the rest of the evening.
