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.

A small bouquet of sunflowers... and another letter.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡReugLr2L3Z
Her heart raced with excitement. She quickly picked up the letter and carefully unfolded it.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1sex0qGp0
Inside, it read:
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpl0cZwWUxy
"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."
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBn9OMwt8UZ
A soft blush spread across Quily's cheeks as a warm smile appeared on her face.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbRPEp2S6I
She had something with her too.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Bp29eWsD0
It was a letter she had written for Aaris.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwu2Tv8RkXK
With trembling hands, she gently placed it beside the well and quietly walked away.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOXpMxlamO
Hours passed.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXMcIBysCv
When the place had become completely silent, a young man slowly approached the well.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQpuAuB3yr
His face remained hidden.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gKIYrS7tk
It was Aaris.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcuOGsYC5PK
He picked up Quily's letter, held it carefully, and walked away.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqn3xa1pA1J
Inside, Quily had written:
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinin1xA4Sl
"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?"
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxM8E7nKvq
Reading her words brought a smile to Aaris's face.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzO8wgBoqB
The following day, he returned to the well, leaving another bouquet of sunflowers along with a new letter.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJlxs5TOkTK
When Quily arrived, she eagerly opened it.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwiVDoQXXt
It read:
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpd8bGDUBm6
"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."
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4nXWnvLIy
As she finished reading, Quily's cheeks turned crimson.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFggXUSlfQ
For the first time, she realized that she had begun to wait for his letters just as much as he waited for hers.

The very next day, something completely unexpected happened.

The peaceful village was filled with the sound of marching soldiers.

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.

Then came the shocking revelation.

King Aldric and Queen Alina announced that their only son, Prince Khen Evander, had fallen deeply in love with Quily.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANVGq67XL2
With great respect, King Aldric turned toward Quily's grandparents and humbly said,
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1jx5hu6qy
"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."
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOSEkYuCVA
Silence filled the air.
