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.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdYEkCigAc
A small bouquet of sunflowers... and another letter.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TxBxfvvuo
Her heart raced with excitement. She quickly picked up the letter and carefully unfolded it.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxob8FQGD4e
Inside, it read:
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7xA1tM7m2
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhS02DV7EYW
A soft blush spread across Quily's cheeks as a warm smile appeared on her face.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwIOrJ8xYo
She had something with her too.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlutxspXpaV
It was a letter she had written for Aaris.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtoR3Z0pJz0
With trembling hands, she gently placed it beside the well and quietly walked away.

Hours passed.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYowyPe6Ba
When the place had become completely silent, a young man slowly approached the well.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqMousa0Mp
His face remained hidden.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcigB3AHJFE
It was Aaris.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqtH7RZ0A8
He picked up Quily's letter, held it carefully, and walked away.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdsWpqfvaU
Inside, Quily had written:
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsZjbfZAJc
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsrP1LFrWx
Reading her words brought a smile to Aaris's face.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMprq8jDBPg
The following day, he returned to the well, leaving another bouquet of sunflowers along with a new letter.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIdrMDzEKE
When Quily arrived, she eagerly opened it.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZwDHNagep
It read:
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHImG669m1
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7rEeqvfvh
As she finished reading, Quily's cheeks turned crimson.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbreVgLWPqd
For the first time, she realized that she had begun to wait for his letters just as much as he waited for hers.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvGNvNrO4p
The very next day, something completely unexpected happened.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09kmSsX2g8
The peaceful village was filled with the sound of marching soldiers.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOikNrqsn2
Rows of royal guards entered the village, followed by magnificent horses and enormous elephants decorated with royal ornaments.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtzAz7gyOj
At the center of the grand procession arrived King Aldric and Queen Alina themselves.

The entire village gathered in shock.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbtT71adCN
Quily, her grandmother, and her grandfather stood frozen in disbelief.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJMLSAawmn
"Why would the King and Queen come all the way to our house?" everyone wondered.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9unqznl0SQ
Then came the shocking revelation.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3EyTtlYkv
King Aldric and Queen Alina announced that their only son, Prince Khen Evander, had fallen deeply in love with Quily.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCnTSGOT4x
With great respect, King Aldric turned toward Quily's grandparents and humbly said,
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqeQK3ajAc
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1nNdiHEPO
Silence filled the air.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsy3JKOIAUE
Everyone stood speechless.
