The angry lion appears Part I, Sir William Dormer & Henry Cromwell

[Sir William Dormer]

Sir William arrived to the court to make a suprise visit to his beloved daughter. Although Jane visited him sometimes they haven't seen eachother for long. And he hoped to find a solution to the Lady Mary problem as well. Or Jane could come home for good. He didn't like the tought having Jane here in this protestant... He was searching her room. Then he was stoned. He saw Jane... She steped out of a room... then folded her arms around some man's neck and kissed him... Like a dirty whore! What is it? What the hell is going on here. His daughter pressing her body to someone like a hungry cat? He saw Jane walking away, but he knew what to do. He rushed to that door and vehemently knocked.

Open up! Open up you bastard! Hopefully you are brave enough!

[Henry Cromwell]

Henry had put away all candles as it knocked on his door as if the devil himself would want to enter his room. He frowned and opened the door, there stood a man with red face, but Henry remained calm, even if his face was cold like a stone. He wanted to show this man that he wasn't afraid of him.

Can I help you in some way?

[Sir William Dormer]

William stared at the man's fave. It seemed to be open and cold. In his eyes there where sparkjes. Is he dare to mock him? Although Sir William was usually a calm and reserved person the scene former scene was too much for him. To see Jane in such a disgrace... She was sent here to be educated not be corrupted... And this must be this man's fault.. Just his. William grabbed Henry's collar and stepped inside.

If... you... could... help... me? Well, yes... choose... a... way... to... die... I let you choose...

[Henry Cromwell]

Henry didn't really expected such an attack on him, therefore he couldn't react that quick. But after he recognized the situation he pushed away the hands of this shameless man with force and glared at him.

Would you explain yourself before you attack me, Sir!

[Sir William Dormer]

Such a man, like you doesn't deserve any explanation. I would need one.

The two man stood there staring at each other.

[Henry Cromwell]

Such a man like me? What man am I in your eyes, Sir? I don't think that you know who I am! So, I ask you again, who are you? And I don't ask again, that's certain.

Henry crossed his arms over his chest and his eyes were cold as ice.

[Sir William Dormer]

William smiled ironically.

So, you won't ask again? And what then? Beat me? Ruin me? Like you dd with someone else? And you are not worth to know , who you are.

[Henry Cromwell]

Henry gave him a sharp laughter, this man was just too ridiculous.

Sir, there are other ways...

You stormed into my chamber, you attacked me, you offended me and you're still of the opinion that I haven't the right to know who you are? With all due respect, Sir, I think you don't know who I am! In your place I would be very careful.

Henry strengthened his tone, a threatening one. It was something he had inherited from the Lord Privy Seal of Henry VIII and even if he changed his tone, he still remained calm, just his glance and his voice showed disrespect and scornfulness.

[Sir William Dormer]

The laugh of that man was just so irritating.So annoying.

I burst into your chamber because you ruined sinething that was the most important for me. And you know what, I don't evenn care who you are, I just want a proper punishment for it then forget you and even the fact that any of us have ever seen you.

The man's arrogaance was immence and ridicullus. As if Sir Wikkiam Sormer would be no one, and not onw of the most trustful servants of his Majesty king Henry.

[Henry Cromwell]

So, I ruined something that was the most important for you? For God's sake would you be that polite and tell me about what you are talking? It would be just fair to let me know why you want a proper punishment for me, if I'm going to die and you are going in the Tower?

Henry didn't lost his patience with this man, somehow he found it really amusing.

[Sir William Dormer]

Sir Robert inhaled sharply.

I'm simply affraid, my name would mean nothing to you. As you did forget to ask it from someone else. As you seems to be someone who just gets what he wants then goes away without asking for a name or looking back. I know your disgusting type.

[Henry Cromwell]

Henry rolled his eyes and showed openly that he was slowly beginning to lose his patience.

I have no desire nor have I the time for this game, Sir. Either you start to speak in clear words to me or you know where the door is. It is the wooden thing by that you came into my room. I'm not a mind-reader!

[Sir William Dormer]

Seeing and hearing his mocking William lost her temper again and grabbed Henry again.

So do you want to know, who am I?!! Listen carefully, as I say it just once before I break your neck. I am... Sir William Dormer. And you rouind a nd shamed ... my daughter!!!

[Henry Cromwell]

That was too much! This man attacked him again! Henry grabbed the man's wrists and pushed them away. He almost overheard the man's name, but slowly every word came into his mind. This man was Jane's father? Now, he understood why Jane reacted that strange when it came to her father.

First, you should think before you threat me like this, Sir William. You would find yourself faster in the Tower than you can say my name!

And second, if you would know your daughter than you wouldn't speak like this. I will not tolerate that someone speaks like this about the most honorable woman I know, not even you!! Understood?!

[Sir William Dormer]

After Henry's push William steps one step backward and stares at Henry.

Who are you, then? Let's play openly. But you have to know I would even kill a royality if I could protect my daughtr's honor that way...

And don't you even dare ro think, I don't know my daughter. I do know! She is innocent, inexperienced, warmhearted, so it's easy to influence her when it comes to men. And I know men. I would put my hand in fire for my daughter... But you...

And I saw what I saw...
