Queen Victoria lived her life as expected throughout most of her life, she did what was expected of her and remained content in all that she did. That is until she met the gaze of Abdul Karim. Abdul and Mohammed were selected to travel to England to present a Mohur to Victoria. During the ceremony, their eyes met just briefly, and in that moment, their lives changed forever.
