sisters’ dancing slippers.”
He blinked. “Your what?”
“Every morning when we awake, our shoes are completely worn through, as if we have been dancing all night. But none of us can remember leaving our beds. Indeed, it is frightening to see the state of the slippers. And our feet! Sometimes they are swollen and blistered as well. And yet, we were asleep.”
“This happens to all twelve of you?”
“Yes. Oh!” She laughed out loud, causing the head gardener to speed up his walking toward them. “It is perfect!” she said, clasping his hand tighter. “Father said that whoever is able to solve the mystery will be allowed to choose one of his daughters to wed!”
Aleck felt as though he had been punched in the chest. My word! Could it be true? Could this be actually happening to him? Was there a way to have this angel by his side permanently?
“Aleck? Aleck? Are you well?”
He glanced at her. “I believe so.”
“Then will you try to solve the riddle?”
The gardener glared at him, but remained silent as he passed the princess. Aleck knew this would be horrendous for them both. His eyes searched Casey’s and he nodded. “Yes, I will try my best to solve the mystery of the dancing princesses.”
