Elizabeth immediately set out to look for a arrest and death warrant on Thomas Cromwell with James by her side. However before she did, she made a visit to Anne to tell her about what was going on. She decided to call a council meeting in favor of her father to set a trap for Cromwell. The princess made her way to the council chamber, followed by her husband, uncle, brother-in-law, Edward Seymour, and a group of guards. The group burst into the chamber just before Cromwell sat down. Charles said, from his spot next to Elizabeth, "Cromwell, do no sit there. That is no place for you. Traitors do not sit among gentlemen or ladies." Elizabeth nodded at the guards and said to Cromwell, as she took a paper from James and as the guards walked over to Cromwell, "My Lord Cromwell, you are arrested on the grounds of treason." Cromwell stared at the princess in disbelief and fought against the guards. James sighed and said to Cromwell, "Do not fight this, Cromwell. It would make it better for the rest of us." Cromwell said to the princess, "I am no traitor, Your Highness. I ask you, on your conscience, am I a traitor?" The council flew into a rage and sided with their beloved princess.
The council repeatedly called Cromwell a traitor, some stood while others stayed seated. Elizabeth smirked in triumph and thought, 'May God help you, Cromwell. You have grown ambitious and too powerful and look where it got you.......nowhere.' Cromwell was then dragged to the dungeons and thrown roughly into a cell. Elizabeth turned to look at her uncle who grinned at her in triumph and bowed to her. Elizabeth smiled and curtsied slightly, bowing her head. The princess turned to look at her husband and brother-in-law and they both grinned at her. Soon, she turned to Edward and they only nodded at each other. The princess left the room to go inform her father that the deed had been done. As she walked out of the room, everyone bowed to her with great respect. She entered her father's bedchambers and curtsied to him, finding him looking out an window. Elizabeth grinned at her father and said to him, "The deed is done, Papa. The monster has been vanquished." Henry smiled at his daughter then turned back to look at the window. Elizabeth curtsied to her father then left to go check on Anne.
A while later, Elizabeth sat with Anne as the two friends had lunch together. Mary soon joined them with her daughter, Elizabeth's son, and their half sister. Elizabeth, Mary, and Anne all laughed as Cate and Nicholas chased each other around the room. The moment was interrupted when Lady Jane Rochford announced Edward Seymour's arrival. Anne stood to go see what Edward wanted and was followed by Elizabeth and Mary. Elizabeth 2nd stayed behind with Cate and Nicholas. Elizabeth came up to Anne and said to Edward, even though she knew what this was about, "What is the meaning of this, Lord Seymour?" Edward turned to Anne and said to her, a paper in his hands, "Your Majesty, I have a notice from His Majesty and the council who came to see that your marriage to His Majesty was under the grounds of suspicion. Due to an investigation to your previous marriage contract, His Majesty has come to the conclusion to divorce the marriage. If Your Majesty complies with the divorce, His Majesty will grant you a sum and estates." Anne glanced at Mary and Elizabeth who looked at her with great concern and nodded. Edward then listed off the estates and her sum. Elizabeth's heart broke for Anne, she had a feeling that Anne would have been a great Queen if only her father had given her the chance. Suddenly, Anne almost collapsed out of shock and relief, causing her ladies and former stepdaughters to run to her aid.
