Eva looked at Kristoff, feeling her eyes start to burn with tears and then looked down at her hands and said, "The thought of living that far away from you just doesn't seem right. You're my other half, my twin, my partner in crime that's always been there and now we'll only see each other a few times a year. It's so sad when I think about it," Eva said quietly.

"Yeah. You're right. That really is sad," Kristoff said, leaning back against the stone castle wall, letting out an exhale, staring off. They both stood there in silence for a minute, feeling the gravity of the situation finally dawning on them.

He finally broke the silence. "I hope you'll be happy in Spain Eva and that he'll be good to you. If he's not, you know you can call me up and I'll fly there and kick his ass if I need to. Just because you're forced into this arranged marriage doesn't mean it's ok for him to treat you bad or to disrespect you. I won't put up with that," he said, giving her a pained smile with wet eyes. He never cried, so the fact that he was crying about her leaving meant a lot.

That made her cry and she reached across and pulled him into a hug, crying on his shoulder as she choked out the words, "I know."

When she reached the dining hall for lunch Paulo and his parents were seated there with his two sisters and another woman she didn't know. Paulo's mother, Queen Victoria, stood up as she came over and said, "There she is! Eva, you already met my daughters, Isadora and Bella but you didn't get a proper introduction. They look like twins but Isadora is 23 and Bella is 21. And this is Bella's best friend Rosalie. She's pretty much like another daughter to me."

Eva smiled and shook all of their hands. Isadora and Bella really did look like twins. They both had shiny long, brown hair with blonde highlights and hazel eyes like their brother and lightly tanned skin. They were both medium height and had athletic builds and were very beautiful. Beauty definitely seemed to run in his family.

Rosalie, the woman she said was like another daughter to her, had shoulder-length blonde hair and blue eyes and was white but with very tanned skin. She looked like she spent way too much time applying sunless tanner because the color of her skin looked artificial. She had a big smile of bright white teeth and obviously fake eyelashes.

She stood up revealing the way too tight and too short dress she was wearing and squealed, giving Eva a very tight hug. She would have been much shorter than her but the 4 inch heels she had on made them look the same height.

She looked at Eva and said, "I'm SO excited to finally meet you! I've heard so much about Paulo's fiance! I have a feeling we're going to be best friends!" she said excitedly.

She made it a point not to judge people on their appearance but for some reason her intuition was telling her there was something about Rosalie that wasn't right.

"Yeah!" Eva said, giving her the best fake smile she could muster. She made Eva feel a little uncomfortable because she was so over the top with her friendliness that it felt fake, but she just smiled awkwardly and played along.

Rosalie sat down next to Paulo and his sister was on his other side so Eva took the seat on the other side of Rosalie.

"Pow Pow," Rosalie said. "Do you remember that time when we were little and me and you decided we wanted to be Olympic swimmers when we grew up? We swam laps in your pool all day every day for a month before we gave up because we found out you had to be King and didn't get to pick what job you wanted. You remember that?" she laughed, placing a hand on his shoulder and smiling at him.

"Yeah. I remember," he laughed, wiping his mouth with his napkin.

"What about that time we were so mad and decided to run away together and we slept for two nights in a tent in the woods before we got hungry and decided to go back home. We found out your parents knew where we were the whole time and were just waiting on us to give in," she laughed.

As they were eating lunch Rosalie kept bringing up old stories about things her and Paulo did when they were kids and she would laugh and put her hand on his arm or shoulder. If he said something funny she would smack his arm playfully and smile and laugh. Eva didn't like how touchy feely she was with him at all and she could feel her anger rising.

"Oh Pow Pow, You're so silly!" Rosalie said to him after he said something funny.

Apparently Pow Pow was some kind of pet name she had for him and every time she said it, it felt like nails on a chalkboard to Eva and as the meal went on her irritation grew. Rosalie was way too flirty and touch-feely with Paulo and it was starting to make her really angry and jealous the longer it went on. Come to think of it, she thought it was kind of strange that Rosalie didn't even think that she might want to sit next to her fiance and took the chair next to him instead of letting her have it.

She wasn't sure why she was feeling so insanely jealous about the phone call earlier and now Rosalie. She barely even knew Paulo but regardless of that she still couldn't stand someone else touching and flirting with him. He was going to be her husband after all, even if it was an arranged marriage.

A few minutes later one of the royal page's entered and was followed by her Mom, Dad, brother Kristoff and her best friend Astrid.

They sat down at the table, joining them for lunch with Astrid sitting next to Eva.

After sitting there for a few minutes Astrid leaned in and whispered in her ear, "Who's that girl sitting next to you? She seems to be awfully cozy with the Prince."

She was so glad she said that because it justified her feelings and that she wasn't just being paranoid.

"I know right!" she whispered in Astrid's ear. "She's his sister's best friend and his Mom said she's like another daughter to her."

"Yeah well, sisters don't flirt with their brothers like that," Astrid whispered and gave her a knowing glance.

After lunch the women had plans to go to town and pick out the wedding dress since everyone was here now. That was the only part of planning the wedding that her Mom hadn't done ahead of time because she wanted all of the female family on both sides to be here to see it.

They went to a local bridal shop that was owned by a very famous dress designer and the entire building had been reserved just for them so that no one else would be there trying on dresses that day. The designer led them to a room filled with custom hand-made wedding gowns, and each one was so beautiful. As she walked around and looked at everything, she came around a corner and saw the most beautiful dress she had ever seen on a mannequin.

It was an off the shoulder gown with a beautiful antique lace overlay and long sleeves and it was very form-fitting and had a silver belt of diamonds around the waist. She knew instantly that it was the one. It looked like something from a fairy tale.

"I'd like to try this one on," she told her.

The designer came over and said, "Great choice. I just finished this one and I think it's the most beautiful dress I've ever made. It's perfect for a princess!"

Paulo's Mom, sisters and their friend Rosalie and her Mom and Astrid and Astrid's Mom sat in the viewing area waiting and Eva went in the changing room with an attendant that helped her put the dress on. They added a crown on top of her head along with a long lace veil and Eva looked at herself and couldn't believe how beautiful she looked in it. She felt like Cinderella.

When she walked out to the waiting area all the women gasped and immediately started saying how much they loved it.

"You're so beautiful! It's perfect!" Astrid said in awe, getting teary eyed.

Eva stood on the platform in front of the mirrors and admired it from the front and sides and it really was the most beautiful dress she had ever seen. It fit so well it was almost like it had been made just for her.

She turned and looked at all of the women and said, "I don't need to try any others on. This is the one."

Her Mom stood up and gave her a hug and so did Paulo's Mom and sisters and they were all crying and taking pictures with their phones.

She couldn't help but notice that all of the women were smiling and happy and congratulating her, everyone except Rosalie. She had been sitting there quietly and seemed rather miserable for some reason. She couldn't help but be suspicious that Rosalie had feelings for Paulo by the way she was acting.

When they got back to the castle Paulo's sisters and Rosalie ran off together and Eva and Astrid went up to her room and she helped her finish packing the rest of her things up in some moving boxes so she'd be prepared for her move to Spain. When they were done she sat there and let out an exhale, looking at her bedroom that seemed so bare now with everything packed away. She had lived in that room all her life so it felt strange seeing it like that. She still couldn't believe she was getting married to a stranger tomorrow.
