Sabine spotted her sister sitting on a bench under a sycamore tree, the
man who’d been courting her on his knees before her. The exquisite
sight made Sabine’s heart leap. She quickly hid behind the trunk of
the nearest tree so she wouldn’t ruin their special moment. Excitement
swirled within. It was about time Albert asked for Alina’s hand in marriage
—they’d been dancing around the topic for weeks.

After a minute, Albert and Alina stood. Albert took both her hands,
kissing them, and then he hurried away.
Sabine ran to her sister. “Is that what I think it was?” she asked, trying
not to jump and dance until she heard her sister say the words.
Alina smiled. “He proposed.”
Sabine shrieked. “I’m so happy for you.” She wrapped her sister in a
hug.
Alina sighed, her face the perfect picture of bliss. “He went to go and
speak with Father to ask his permission.”
“It’s about time, you old hag. I was beginning to think you’d never
marry.” Although she said it as a joke, Sabine had been concerned her sister
wouldn’t find someone worthy of her love, especially since she was already
twenty-four years old. Most women her age had children by now.
Alina sat back on the bench. “I’ve finally found the perfect man.”
Sabine plucked a flower from a nearby cherry tree and stuck it behind
Alina’s ear, pushing her long blonde hair away from her shoulder. “I am
going to be your maid of honor.” She sat beside her sister.
“I wouldn’t have anyone else.”
“This is going to be the most beautiful wedding.” After watching her
two eldest brothers marry, it was about time Alina would have the honor.
“I want to invite everyone to the celebration.”
Sabine placed her head on Alina’s shoulder. “No one deserves this more
than you. Shall we go and tell Mother?”
“Yes. She’s going to be so happy.”
“Thankfully Albert lives nearby, so you won’t be going far.” She
couldn’t imagine Alina not living within walking distance. Albert and Alina
truly made the perfect couple. They both had the same color hair, sparkling
blue eyes, and they were tall.
“I’d never leave this countryside. It’s too beautiful here.” She stood and
pulled Sabine up alongside her.
“You don’t think Father will object to you marrying Albert since he’s
only a baron?” Their two eldest brothers had married daughters of
prominent dukes.
“It shouldn’t matter.” The two sisters began walking toward the castle.
No, Sabine supposed it shouldn’t. Not since Father had Karl as his heir,
and Karl had two boys of his own. The royal line was well established, and
Alina wouldn’t have to worry about ever sitting on the throne. One of the
perks of being born third, she supposed.
“Mother will be thrilled she’ll have three of her six children married,”
Alina said
