It was up until recently that Sei had realized her feelings for Albert. Sei had been worried that she would no longer see Albert because there had been no more monster sightings. She had began to notice the most of time they had spent together was because of these expeditions. It had been known that Sei didn't know how to ride horses, so Albert had decided to teach her.

It is has been known throughout society that Albert was on top of the list of being Sei's future fiancee. Numerous people had tried to become her partner. There had been a slight misunderstanding between Yuri Drewes and Sei. This had caused him to move forward in building a closer relationship with Sei.

Albert had decided to finally make a move. They were both meeting up towards the evening for a date. The commander’s clothes when he got off the carriage were also different from when he went to the royal capital before, and they were decorated with gorgeous embroidery to show that he was a noble. He had reserved a special spot in the garden just for them.

The original grove had turned into something frozen, glistening in the light of the setting sun. He recreated the story he heard from her about the Christmas lights. She had told him about how they decorated during the cold months of the season in her past world. Hawke used his ice magic to create a frozen tree found within the scenery. And when she turned to the leader to thank him for what he did, he grabbed her right hand for some reason. When Sei had looked up to ask about his true intentions, she met the head with a serious expression. Grabbing her right hand with both of his hands, Commander Hawke opened his mouth and said, “I like you. Please marry me.”

In response to the proposal from Albert Hawke, she confesses she also likes him as well. And he pulls her into his arms and hugs her closely. He had said he wanted to take it slower since she was not accustomed to traditional courting. However, due to the numerous proposals he had to confess his feelings before it was too late.
