Victoria Cambridge, the daughter of the Duke of Cambridge was brought to Hampton Court to distract the King from another miscarriage from his wife Catherine. What she didn't expect was falling in love with him.
"What makes you so scared?" Henry ask...
Tomorrow is my wedding day. Henry and I will be wedded at Westminister Abbey by Richard Foxe, Archbishop Sussex. Over the past couple of weeks, Henry has helped with the wedding the best he could. He would visit me while Mary and I finished her flower girl dress.
"Are you excited?" Emilia asked as she began to pin two sections of my hair back so my face was exposed.
"I love Henry and he loves me and the child growing inside of me," I said and Emilia smiled.
"What dress today?" She asked as she stepped towards my wardrobe.
"The pink one. With flowers and the sleeves are lace." I said as I stood up. After she got the dress out and I stepped into it I smiled as the silky material fell over me.
"Beautiful as always." A voice said and I turned to see Henry standing there.
"Henry! We didn't even hear you!" I said as I bowed my head and rushed towards him.
"The door was open. I only meant to peak but you look beautiful." He said as he held me close to him.
"Everything is set for tomorrow. My dress will be in my new chambers and I will ride a carriage and meet you there." I explained and Henry smiled.
"Is it true you are wearing white?" Henry asked and I smiled softly.
"I am. White is to symbolize something new and pure. That is what our relationship is. New and pure." I said and Henry nodded.
"I just came from telling the council of your pregnancy. We are not going to announce it until you start to show." He said and I nodded.
"Of course, Catherine's old ladies are still here at court. Some will even become my ladies and none know of what they will say or do." I said but Emilia cleared her throat earning Henry and me to turn to her.
"If I may, Your Majesties. Instead of having Spaniard ladies that are still loyal to the Dowager Princess of Wales. We get new ones. From England, Wales, Ireland, France, Sweden, or even Italy. Ones who don't know Catherine." Emilia said and I smiled softly.
"I think that is a brilliant idea, Emilia," I said as I looked to Henry who nodded.
"I will write to some of the Lords and Dukes and ask for some young women to become your ladies." He said and I smiled as I held onto Henry's arms.
"You said you came for something?" I asked and Henry nodded as he cleared his throat.
"For your coronation, it will be three days after the wedding. I was wondering what you would like to be called?"
"What do you mean called? My name is Victoria. I shall be forever called Victoria." I said but Henry chuckled softly.
"I meant would you like to be Queen Victoria of England?" he asked and I smiled softly.
"Say please."

"Excuse me?" Henry said with a small smile.
"Say please. Say it and I will agree to become Queen Victoria of England." I said and Henry chuckled as he stared at me.
"Will you please say yes to becoming Queen of England?" Henry asked and I smirked softly.
"I will gladly become the Queen of England. I will be the best Queen ever. I vow now to help you to the best of my ability as your Queen." I stated and Henry smiled at me.
"I love you." He said and I froze for a moment. Henry has never stated he loved me before.
"Truly?" I asked and he nodded.
"Yes, I love you, Vicky. I have moved heaven and earth to leave Catherine so I can marry you." He said and I smirked as I threw my arms around him.
"I love you too Henry. So much." I said before someone knocked on the door and we turned to see Woosley standing there.
"Your Majesty, Your Highness. I am so sorry for interrupting." Woosley said and Henry raised an eyebrow at him.
"What is it now, Woosley?"
"It has arrived Your Majesty. You told me to come to fetch you when it was here." Woosley said and Henry smiled softly.
"Come with me. This is one of the many gifts I had ordered for our wedding." He said and I let out a laugh as he grabbed my hand and we began running out of my chambers and towards the west wing where the royal jewels were held at.
"Henry! I should not be running." I said as I tried my hardest not to laugh.
"Come on now. I'll win." He said and I raised an eyebrow at him before I bent down and kicked off my shoes and began running.
"Cheater!" He said as I passed him and entered the room first. Henry got there a moment after me and stuck his tongue out at me.
The jewelry bowed to both Henry and me before handing Henry a gold box.
"I remember when I saw you that night at dinner and how beautiful you looked with that crown on your head. How red jewels bring out your pale face." He said as he set the box down and took the lid off.
"So I had ordered a new crown be made for you. Of only red jewels. This will be your Queen jewels." He said as he took the crown out of the box. I gasped when how large the crown was. Red rubies lined the crown both small and big.
"Henry, this is gorgeous. But it is far too much."
"Nonsense. You will be my wife and my queen. For that you nothing is too much." He said as he lifted the crown above my head and placed it gently on my forehead.
"You shall wear this after your coronation at the dinner," Henry said and I nodded as I picked up a small mirror and stared at myself.
"Now, I truly look like a Queen."
