A sister's love (1)

Helena exited the carriage her parents sent her in and looked up at the palace. She finally came back after not returning with Hazel the day before. She only had one hour but she would make the most out of it. 

It took her hours to convince her mother to let her return to the palace alone and to deliver her letter about the change of how she would be visiting the palace. Helena had to use Hazel as a way to get her mother to stay home by saying knowing their mother was in the palace would make Hazel miss home. 

"Lady Helena. The queen is expecting you," said a maid. "Please follow me."

Helena followed the maid to where the queen was awaiting her. She could only hope that the queen wouldn't be upset with her for not coming to live in the palace until her engagement was secured.
