(Theme of the chapter is You are the reason by Calcum Scott!!! It's what Ivar is going through now)
Narrator's POV
As Ivar and Emma become passionate with each other, the temperature of the room increases. Ivar takes Emma in his arms and throws her on the bed, he then climbs on top of her and starts sucking her nipples gently as Emma moans, "I missed you Ivar" she says as her body twitches due to Ivar's touch
Ivar says nothing and continues to to what he is doing, that is pleasuring her
*Emma Moans*
*Ivar Moans*
*Emma Moans Again*
Ivar hurriedly gets up and climbs on top of Emma, removes her blindfold and looks into her eyes as he freezes
"What's wrong?" Emma partially gets up and looks confused, "Why did you stop so suddenly?"
"You are not her" Ivar says with an expressionless face
"I can be her?" Emma plays with her hair and smiles
Ivar takes the blindfold and wraps it around Emma's neck and strangulate her. Emma chokes.
"IVAR! IVAR! WHAT ARE YOU DOING" Emma screams as Ivar starts strangulating her
Ivar says nothing, apathy rages in his eyes
*Emma Chokes and her face becomes red as she tries her best to fight him and escape but she cannot*
After few minutes Ivar let's go of Emma's neck and throws her on the bed, the red marksm of strangulation appear on her neck
Emma is dead.

Nova's POV
I run and the man runs after me, I can hear his footsteps and his flesh following me as I make my way through the passage way, not knowing where I am heading towards
I slip so suddenly on the wet floor, "Eeh!" I mutter, I look back and he is still quite far away from what I can hear. I try to take off my slippery sandals and get back on my knees.
I remove my sandals and look up, there are three men standing with tiki torches with their face covered with black cloths. They are tall huge men. I touch the walls to look for an escape but there is none.
I turn around to run in other direction but the man has finally caught up to me as stands there panting like a dog, he is bigger than the other three men
I am surrounded in a narrow passageway by four men, I have nowhere to run now.
Ivar? Where are you? Ivar..... I need you. I think while crying and shivering.
Ivarrrrrr.....................

Ivar's POV
Mother was right, I will lose her if I keep acting like I don't want her. The way I talked to her and the way I dismissed her, If I could go back and change that, I would.
I AM SUCH A FOOL
I keep thinking about her and our conversations as I wear my boots and armour and leave my chamber for her's.
I beat my head for being so selfish, protecting my heart and hurting her's instead. She is the only thought in my head and heart and I will no longer deny that.
My mother was right, I shouldn't hesitate. With few hours left for wedding, I need to make peace with her and make it the best night's of our life.
After my mother, she is the only constant in my life. I need her, I want her.
*Opens Nova's Chamber Door*
"Nova?" I say as I look around and examine her room carefully, her room smells just like her, as I take in the air
"Are you here, my love?" I say hesitatingly, not knowing what sassy remark she will make when she hears me calling her 'my love'.
I smile to myself
"Nova?" I say a little louder but I reckon that she is not present here, maybe she is with Medusa in the golden room
As I begin to leave I notice a note lying on the bed, I pick it up but cannot read it. I try to look at it hard enough to make sense of what it says.
*Medusa and Torvi enters Nova's chamber's with her dress in their hands*
"Ivar?" Torvi says and both Medusa and Torvi bow down to me
"Who can read?" I say while waving the note and Medusa puts her hand forward, and I hand over the note to her
Torvi and I stare at Medusa as her eyes widen.
"What? Speak now" I say as I put my hands on my waist
"It says meet me in the passageways" Medusa mutters and looks at me with fear
"What are passageways?" Torvi asks while snatching the words from my mouth
"They are the well kept secret of the French castle, the connect every room and goes underneath the ground. Their purpose is to help the royal family escape in case of emergency, but they have been banned to be used after the reports of various haunted activities in it" Medusa says slowly as Torvi and I look at her.
"SHE IS TRYING TO ESCAPE? WITH WHOM?" I say as anger builds up inside of me again
"No, no. I know Nova. She won't do this" Torvi says as she keeps Nova's wedding gown on the bed
I look at Medusa and say, "What do you think?" I pull my sword out, ready to kill Medusa if or when Nova tries to elope or escape
"I feel her life is in danger" Medusa says absentmindedly
I look at Torvi and my body stiffens, I run out of the chamber to search for the passageways and Torvi and Medusa follows me as Medusa's voice guide me to the entry of the passageways.
*You are going to lose her, Ivar*
The voice of my mother, Aslaug rings in my head as my heart beats incredibly fast
Everything turns into slow motion as I run for her, everything.
