Ambition

"Learn to hold your tongue, and learn your place woman." The Lord Howard snapped at me.

"I am Ariane of Portugal. The daughter to Manuel I of Portugal and Isabella of Aragon and the true heir to the throne. No one wrongs me or my country." I stated my chest lifted and my head held high. "I am the Queen of the people, and I will demand respect from all who come in contact with me. I have defeated more armies than I can count and all of Europe bows to me with the utmost respect. I will never hold my tongue. I could have your head right now if I pleased." I paced toward him Henry still sitting at the head of the table. "Learn your place My Lord, or I will be forced to put you there."
