The Lost Princess

XX

Ashlyn
Two Months Later

So much as happened in the least two months. Peter has gone back to Amster after there was suspicion of a bomb. He has returned to be the lead in the army and trains nonstop. Rose and Aaron returned home with the news of their pregnancy. The kingdom celebrated for days! It was amazing.

Lily and John have been writing each other a lot. It's adorable to see another relationship in the makings. Peter and I are doing splendid, getting letters every few days or so.

I walk to the garden, with a guard after the Alan thing. Prince William comes up to me and smiles, "Ashlyn."

"William! It's lovely to see you. Amelia is in the East garden, if you're looking for her," I respond.

He chuckles, "Actually, I was looking for you."

"Oh!" I gasp, "What can I do for you?"

"Well, I have already got permission from your parents and mine, as well as our council. I am planning to propose to Amelia in three days," he smiles.

"Yay!" I laugh and clap my hands, "But, what do you need me for?"

"I need ideas on how to propose. Since you are her twin sister, I thought you would have some answers," he responds.

"I have the perfect idea! The trio from Rose and Aaron's wedding are in the village. You could hire them and have them play her favorite song in the East garden. She will love it," I exclaim.

He nods, "Yes! That's an amazing idea. Thank you! I will hire them myself and bring them to the castle in three days!"

He bows before taking off through the halls. I smile, this proposal will be magnificent.

Three Days Later
Amelia

Ashlyn took my hands and was leading me all over the palace. "Ashlyn!" I laugh, "slow down or you will pull my arms from the sockets!"

She slows down until she reaches the doors to the East garden. She smiles, "Wait here. Until the open the doors."

She turns and scurries off. My sister is weird today. I tap my foot impatiently until the doors swing open. I pause before hearing my favorite song play inside the garden.

I walk in and are meet by dozens of red rose petals on the floor. As a sort of walkway. There were candles lit along the edge. I smile and follow the Rose path. Soon, I see pictures of me and William on the floor, each having a rose. I pick up one and see that the rose has a piece of paper wrapped around it. The paper reads, Will.

I pick another one. You.

Third one. Marry.

Last rose. Me?

I open my eyes and my song starts growing louder. I realize that I am around the swan fountain in the middle of the garden. William comes around he back and smiles.

"I love you with all my heart, Amelia. You are the reason I wake up in the morning. My everything, my love. So.." he gets on one knee and my hearts beats crazy.

"Princess Amelia of the Virgin Isles, will you marry me?" He opens a small black box and a beautiful ring is displayed.

I nod and smile, "Yes! Yes! Of course I'll marry you!"

He smiles and puts he ring on my finger and gives me a large hug, "I love you Amelia."

"I love too, William."
