Summary: Some things may change, but one thing remains constant.
It is the sound of the fireworks that finally gets her attention.
She has heard the rumors, of course. For a day and more, the court has spoken of nothing but Bessie Blount and her bastard son. And now Henry celebrates with raucous pageantry, lavishing wealth and title on the child.
Her knees scrape against the chapel's stone floor, as Katherine takes once more to prayer. She is here to thank God, but also to be seen. For mistresses will come and go, and bastards will live and die. But at the end of the day, only Katherine is Queen.
