Author's Response: Just remember this may be fleeting! Looking forward to your banner, as you are looking forward to my words!

I know women were second class citizens back then and the king was supposed to have anything he wanted, but does Elizabeth have no choice in the matter of becoming the King's mistress? I've heard Ann Bolyn flat out refused him until he got an annullment so he could marry her instead.
Author's Response: This is true...all your points. The King will not force Elizabeth to be his mistress. It was just that most of the time, what he wanted, he got. This is why William assumed that he would get her to be his mistress. Anne Boyln was a more of a rarity than a given.

Within mere moments, Lady Elizabeth had taken his once firm beliefs and scattered them to the winds. This tiny, but fierce creature with a sharp tongue and wit, stirred his loins and mind completely. Never before, had these two halves of his being, intertwined. *nods* Elizabeth is one of a kind. Not sure how the kind would have taken a rejection....
Good that Elizabeth won't change her ways when it comes to William, he enjoyed her the way she was a lot. Must be refreshing for him.
And look there, they can get along. :)
Author's Response: Elizabeth is one of a kind. I love writing her strength, especially in a time when women did not have that entitlement.

Great chapter, but I didn't think that Buffy would be able to 'forget' what Spike had done in the previous chapter. However, great story so far. I love the dialogue between our two main protagonists, you write historical Spuffy really well!
Author's Response: Thanks so much. A little hint, just because that she was civil and polite doesn't mean she forgot nor forgave...keep reading!

Another great chapter and another great banner. It does appear that her bite has soften him. But then again it would be too much if they only fought in anger without some niceties.
Author's Response: Thanks all around. Both will be present (anger and niceties)...it wouldn't be them without it!

Contrition from William was unexpected in this chapter--I didn't think it would come this early. Don't think that William will be able to resist Elizabeth despite the treasonous consequences for disobeying his king. Love the historical!snark and verbal jousts in this chapter. Can't wait for the carriage ride to court--lots of possibilities in confined spaces.
Author's Response: But remember the contrition is mainly based on his loyality to the King not Elizabeth. If the King was not present in this equation, William would of persued her all the same. He still wants her, just quelling his desires for his love to the King.

An olive branch that twines the two together in a newfound understanding of each other. Now that William acknowledges that Elizabeth is more than just a plaything fit for domestic servitude, things may get more interesting. Elizabeth will need his guidance once she enters the realm of the King's Court . I wonder if she has any inkling as to what is expected of her to please the King. Hope that what lays ahead will bring William and Elizabeth closer together. Look forward to more.
Author's Response: Thanks Vette! Did you see your banner? Love it! Elizabeth will need lots of guidance when she enters into court...it will be a whole new world!

Ooh some progress has been made! They're sexy when they're verbally sparing. There is so much heat between them and we haven't even reached the good parts yet! I do really love the glimpses into the male mind of Spike, it was a great way of giving us more info on not only his inner workings but why somebody like Buffy would be so intriguing. Can't wait for more UST!
Author's Response: A litle progress, but remember one step forward two steps back!

Another wonderful chapter, I really am enjoying this story! I love the idea that even back then there were men who love a woman with a bit of piss and vinegar. Well written
Just one small niggling error - you IDLE a tongue and look up to IDOLs.

Nicely done. I am glad that you had William behave as a gentleman and not a rake. I am sure this behavior will go a long way in developing their relationship. I sure it won't be smooth but this shows how they can be together.
Author's Response: In this chapter William does behave himself, don't believe that this will always be the case!

Does Elizabeth know she is to become the mistress of the King ? And surely she will be wedge that separates William from his friend and King..
