I opened my eyes breathing hard touching my neck to check for a cut like Paullina's but there wasn't one. "Queen Victoria?" I sat up quickly at Cole's voice. "Enter." I said my voice weak as he walked in. "Are you alright your majesty?" I looked up our eyes meeting. "I-I.... I don't know." I said shaking my head. "What is it?" He asked making me sigh. "Is it possible to see other people's memories and feel them like you were are them?" I watched as he stiffened. "It's a rare thing it usually forms when two people are connected by unconditional love, like siblings, lovers, friends." I slowly stood up. "Why are you asking?" I felt a tear fall down my face. "I never knew how much Paullina really went through for me and yet she did all of it for nothing." I watched as Cole shook his head. "I don't know why she would leave like that." I sighed. "Well why are you here?" I asked as he smiled. "Well today's your wedding day I wanted to speak with you about your leadership and about moving to your parents old quarters." My eyes widened as I looked up at him. "W-What?" He sighed. "It's where the Queen and King are expected to sleep, you know that." I looked down a moment. "What about my leadership?" He stiffened his face serious. "If you want to keep this kingdom under your leadership you need to show that you are above him." I nodded. "Got it."

"You look beautiful your majesty." Margret said as she buttoned up the large white dress. "Thank you Margret." I said turning around hugging her. "Jasmine would be proud." She whispered as she pulled back. "Your majesty are you ready?" Maxilla asked standing in the door way. "As I'll ever be."
Everyone stood as I walked down the large purple carpet walking toward Prince Casimir. As I stood in front of him I knew this was going to be my last day ruling my kingdom on my own. "We have gathered her today for these two nations to bring peace between us, today we unite Boltone and Jewlak's Price Casimir and Queen Victoria."

I woke up in a cold sweat breathing hard. "No." I said as I blinked seeing Victoria standing with Prince Casimir at the alter feeling the nervousness running through her body. "No." I shook my head as I saw her and him kiss. "Damn it." I said laying back on ground. "I guess my imagination can't keep me away." I shook my head standing up grabbing my bag putting it on my back.

"Queen Victoria." I stopped hearing Cole's voice along with the guards and the king. "You guards continue to escort king Casimir to our quarters, I need to speak with Cole a moment." I said turning around and walking to Cole as the guards nodded. "What is it?" I asked as we stared to walk together. "So I told Jarred about the question you asked me earlier and said to get you immediately." My eyes widened as we walked quicker. "Any clue why?" I asked as he opened the door to his office. "No he didn't say." I walked in and he quickly closed the walking to the painting behind his desk and slowly opened it. "It's been since you've seen him." Cole nodded. "It has." I whispered slowly walking into the dark tunnel as Cole shut the painting behind me. Jarred became a close friend to me and Paullina after our parents death, but after an incident he had to go into hiding blind and away from all other people except Cole. I touched the cold door knob opened the large metal door slowly walking in. "Victoria." His voice was low and soft making me smile. "Jarred." I said closing the door walking in front of him and the chair he sat in and sat down on the couch. "I can only imagine how beautiful you must be." The dim light from the fire barely showed his face and foggy eyes. "Your brother said you needed to talk to me immediately." He sighed shaken his head. "Right, so you asked my brother about seeing the memories or through the eyes of another, correct?" I nodded. "Yes." He took a breath. "Listen, I know no one's going to say it because they miss Paullina, but leaving this kingdom was the best thing she could not have done." His words hit me like ice, cold and bitter. "Now, the reason you are staring to feel what she feels, and see what she's seeing is because your father asked my mother to bound you too so she could always protect you." My eyes widened as he looked down and I then I felt the room becoming brighter as one of the candles on the wall lit up from his magic and then I saw him clearer his dark black hair pale skin and his brown cloak that he had on and as he looked up it was as if he was staring right at me with his foggy blind eyes. "You have two choices Victoria" he paused and moved a hand forward grabbing mine hand tightly but carefully. "You can either brake your binding with Paullina, which will take away how you much you love Paullina" I took a deep breath trying not to cry at what he said. "Or the farther that Paullina gets from you the more that you two will share your minds and feelings." I sighed. "What do you mean exactly?" He took a breath. "It means you and Paullina would feel everything other feels, and if she was to fall for someone else you will see it and feel it." I looked down slowly. "This choice is yours Paullina." I took a deep breath. "I'll do it."
