Alicia knew the moment she had spoken those words she did something wrong. She should have flat out denied that she ever had her eyes on Dan Frost.
Sure, Dan is prettier than most women, and she had a crush on him when he was young, but this situation is serious. In the first place, they were traitors, and on top of that, she is probably insisting that she had her eyes on the only probable 'king' candidate.
However, spoken words are like spilled milk, she couldn't take them back any more.
Sasha Winterchild had always had a strange possessiveness about her brothers.
Alicia attended her first harvest feast when she was ten, and Sasha was eight.
Prince Raul, the heir to Strongfort was probably about twelve, and it started a rush among lords of winterland who had daughters.
Almost every noble girl who could walk attended the feast.
The competition to dance with Raul was fierce.
