The next morning, Quily's grandmother asked her to fetch some water from the old well. Carrying the pot, Quily walked toward the familiar place.

As she reached the well, she noticed something that instantly brightened her face.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1v7uecWJh
A small bouquet of sunflowers... and another letter.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfO43WxIxMD
Her heart raced with excitement. She quickly picked up the letter and carefully unfolded it.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLh8bHYjp5H
Inside, it read:
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMFzMJgCz4
"These sunflowers may one day fade,
And this letter may grow old.
But the love my heart holds for you
Will remain untouched by time."
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlq13kO3DHd
A soft blush spread across Quily's cheeks as a warm smile appeared on her face.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0eOFa82c1n
She had something with her too.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvDtkYaxbF
It was a letter she had written for Aaris.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59H3zvPlWg
With trembling hands, she gently placed it beside the well and quietly walked away.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjekMQIi70
Hours passed.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYYobtWJXh
When the place had become completely silent, a young man slowly approached the well.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3PaQHQwih
His face remained hidden.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCLzG1hNfp
It was Aaris.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUISTEe7y5
He picked up Quily's letter, held it carefully, and walked away.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPIU5cDumN
Inside, Quily had written:
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisYN5HV53t
"I don't know who you are... but somehow, you've made every one of my days feel special. May I know why you keep writing these letters to me?"
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcEqSdV7di
Reading her words brought a smile to Aaris's face.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgW2g8Zj6k
The following day, he returned to the well, leaving another bouquet of sunflowers along with a new letter.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PSGP4fzU8
When Quily arrived, she eagerly opened it.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJ7sovrR3S
It read:
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0p3P7fh1eZ
"Quily... I truly like you. But I don't have the courage to stand before you and confess my feelings. One day... I promise I'll come to you. I'll stand before you, look into your eyes, and tell you how much I love you."
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIoaS1Zfbh2
As she finished reading, Quily's cheeks turned crimson.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34W6AmkE82
For the first time, she realized that she had begun to wait for his letters just as much as he waited for hers.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtHaONarpM
The very next day, something completely unexpected happened.

At the center of the grand procession arrived King Aldric and Queen Alina themselves.

The entire village gathered in shock.

Quily, her grandmother, and her grandfather stood frozen in disbelief.

"Why would the King and Queen come all the way to our house?" everyone wondered.

King Aldric and Queen Alina announced that their only son, Prince Khen Evander, had fallen deeply in love with Quily.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2M4VjG8nCt
With great respect, King Aldric turned toward Quily's grandparents and humbly said,
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpXm36u6zf
"We have come to ask for your granddaughter Quily's hand in marriage for our son, Prince Khen Evander. It would be our greatest honor if you would accept this proposal."
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzs8ThR4Ww
