Mmmh I wondered if Elizabeth would kept the gift, I thought she wouldn't.
I will look forward to see how they'll get along in the future.
Clever to use the ballad. :)

Author's Response: Thanks cordy for your review. I just wanted to take the time to say, that I appreciate immensely the time that you spend to review each chapter. Thank you so much.

I like how she kept the gift and didn't let the fact of her initial response keep her from what she wanted. I can't wait to read of their travels and arrival to the King. But it is a wait I'm willing to endure to read the every day needed occurances that you write so well.

Author's Response: I was torn on which way to go, I'm glad what I decided you enjoyed. *blush* that you likey my writing! I will try to make each chapter as you wait better than the last...I hope!

The way things are going, the King is going to be sooo not amused!

Author's Response: No, no he is not!

Another good chapter. I can't imagine how Elizabeth and William will ever become a couple since William has to follow the King's edict. Please update soon.

Author's Response: And this is the problem. William wants her, but the King's demands stand in the way. Keep reading to see how this all works out.

I like this story but there are a couple of things that don't sound right. They keep calling William "your Grace" but they would only call him that to his face, if they were talking about him and he wasn't there it would be "his Grace" and I don't think Buffy would call her father Lord Summers-she would say "my father"-even though I'm English I'm no expert on old customs so I stand to be corrected

Author's Response: Thank you about the Your Grace and His Grace faux pas. I went back and change this is all the chapters. there wasn't many, but one is too many. As for Elizabeth calling her father by his title, she does so when she is referring to him. It's a sign of respect. Numerous movies that I have seen about this time period, when it comes to nobility children, they do call their parents by their titles, especially when they are older. It's a sign of respect. During the earlier chapters, she does call him father, but also Lord. She does so more to irk him and be disrespectful. In this past chapter, she did so for respect, especially since she was talking about him, not to him.

Author's Response: I actually meant Noble children not nobility children

Wow, really detailed on the banquet that they were eating, really well done and quite interesting too. I've read a lot of historical fiction and you've really captured the right tone for this story. I'm glad that Spike has realised that Buffy is the one for him, and he will try to convince the King (and Buffy) that they should be together. However, should be a long road ahead - otherwise there'd be no fun! Keep up the good work!

Author's Response: Thank you Nikki. When I write, I have a certain tone and setting laid out in my mind. Based on that, I do research accordingly. I know that it won't be perfect, but I really want to make it an interesting and as much as I can, an accurate read. More will be coming soon!

I love how she told him that if he needed forgiveness for his nature to go see a priest. That was too too good.

Author's Response: I laughed when I wrote that line. I can so picture Buffy, well Elizabeth, looking at him and flat out snuffing him with those words. The look on his face, in my mind...priceless!

Awesome chapter! Peace definitely did not last long, but it was for the best. If she didn't get so angry with him again, he might have taken longer to realize she's the woman for him! Definitely going to be a battle though, but with the way you write, I'm sure it's going to be VERY entertaining.

Author's Response: *blush*Thanks for the thoughts and the review girl! even though this is a historical piece, it is still Buffy and Spike, angst in some form is part and parcel of them.

William's mouth got the better of him; now he lost terrain he has won with Elizabeth. Will be hard to win this back and change Elizabeth's mind I fear.
Looking forward to find out.

Author's Response: yes, spike in any form is open mouth insert foot type of guy! Believe me, he will fight really hard to correct his wrongs

Actions speak louder than words, seems like his apology has fallen on deaf ears due to his late visitation and it should have happened when they were still dining for all to see his considerations for the ladies present. It must be love that William is feeling if he is willing to risk all to gain his one true love. Look forward to more.

Author's Response: Hey Vette sweetie how are you? True, he should have apologized in front of everyone, but you understand a man's pride, especially in those times, completely unheard of for them to apologize to a WOMAN. Shutter at the thought. Don't worry, William will soon realize that it will take more than kind words to win the heart of sweet Elizabeth.

Well William put his foot in his mouth. I guess he forgot Elizabeth was there. His reaction to her words was quite interesting. Great chapter. Please update soon and often.

Author's Response: Of course she's going to be angered with him, one minute he says he is sorry, then his actions say the complete opposite. I will update soon. Thanks for your review, appreciated immensely.

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!
