Chapter 9 - The proposel

It was after a few months that Rebecca household was not gloomy but jumping in joy. by that time Rebecca's spinal cord healed and she was able to walk. They received an Imperial letter stating that they want Sofia's hand in marriage. Sofia who was the happiest since it was from Prince Salvador was jumping and shouting with joy. Rebecca was happy that her sister will be married in two months time but was also bothered that her sister will get married before her. So the next two months were the hardest time for the servants, the maids had to go and sow the Wedding dress while the Sisters had to go fragrance shopping. They were coming out of the fifth fragrance shop when Sofia spoke, '' I didn't know that getting married would be this stressful.'' Rebecca laughed and answered, '' It's not my wedding and yet I'm not complaining and here the person getting married is the one complaining and these are the traditions in Victoria Empire.

Sofia went to meet Prince Salvador but when she pushed the door opened she wasn't ready to hear this. She heard Prince Salvador talking about the Investigation of the incident and he said, ''So they were after Miss Rebecca, but I don't understand why they want her.'' Sofia barged in and said, '' You better catch and protect my Sister from the cultprit, it's not been long since she recovered and, I can't afford to lose my sister.'' Sofia cried on Salvador's shoulder as she talked. Rebecca went to the Crown prince's study and said, '' I'm sorry I blamed you for all this problem. Please forgive me.'' The Crown prince wasn't expecting this and said, '' Why did you save me and hurt yourself?'' Rebecca answered jokingly, '' Why won't I save you, if you died who would want to marry me.'' The Crown prince laughed and invited Rebecca, Prince Salvador and Sofia to lunch, Rebecca asked seriously, '' Have you found the cultprit and who were they after?'' Everybody looked at each other hesitantly, like they wanted to say something but can't. Prince Salvador now spoke, '' You see... they were after you Re.... I mean Miss Rebecca. They said you time traveled to this world and saved Sofia from hooglains. Is it true?'' Rebecca looked like all the blood drained from her face and she said, '' That's ridiculous, time travel... haha.'' So your denying that you didn't time travel? Said Prince Salvador. Sofia quickly changed the topic and said, '' So have you made the wedding preparations?'' The Crown prince nodded and said, '' Yes Sofia and soon you'll become our sister-in-law.'' Sofia was blushing and the three were happily chatting, Rebecca wore a smile on her face but she thought, ( How did hooglains of all people know my secret, I have to find a way to get their mouth shut.) Rebecca asked, '' Your Majesty, can you tell me exactly where they are?'' The Crown prince responded, '' Call me Luther and there in the Imperial dungeon.''
