Quily returned home with a gentle smile on her face. Even after reaching home, she couldn't stop thinking about the mysterious person named Aaris who had written the letter. His words lingered in her heart, making her smile without even realizing it.

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.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBCQhPkSTG
As she reached the well, she noticed something that instantly brightened her face.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcL8KbAo2d
A small bouquet of sunflowers... and another letter.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpfGu3dzEg
Her heart raced with excitement. She quickly picked up the letter and carefully unfolded it.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzdabVEZ9A
Inside, it read:
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3hcFrI4Bi
"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."
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QkWBHWwuY
A soft blush spread across Quily's cheeks as a warm smile appeared on her face.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWZSggwKE0
She had something with her too.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrr2NBn79Co
It was a letter she had written for Aaris.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdoQRVJ7Hlr
With trembling hands, she gently placed it beside the well and quietly walked away.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXa1kHFd0L
Hours passed.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBuWtJGL74
When the place had become completely silent, a young man slowly approached the well.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAmJXtTk2P
His face remained hidden.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPgXQQXdFD
It was Aaris.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCb1vHGsGr
He picked up Quily's letter, held it carefully, and walked away.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuucVr8hHuM
Inside, Quily had written:
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHBqBieHqN
"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?"
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkbUahfwFM
Reading her words brought a smile to Aaris's face.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawhCYmV8zF
The following day, he returned to the well, leaving another bouquet of sunflowers along with a new letter.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnpkzsjUwI
When Quily arrived, she eagerly opened it.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWm3PHHVn48
It read:
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYVRqvz27F
"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."
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPqq5Sl3yd
As she finished reading, Quily's cheeks turned crimson.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlw2Jq3brT
For the first time, she realized that she had begun to wait for his letters just as much as he waited for hers.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3NOWyPF0H
The very next day, something completely unexpected happened.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlx57p1E39
The peaceful village was filled with the sound of marching soldiers.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHLKcPb58p
Rows of royal guards entered the village, followed by magnificent horses and enormous elephants decorated with royal ornaments.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuizGjf0yrH
At the center of the grand procession arrived King Aldric and Queen Alina themselves.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMjqDilSqp
The entire village gathered in shock.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQokScVZut
Quily, her grandmother, and her grandfather stood frozen in disbelief.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9sHnDMq1qb
"Why would the King and Queen come all the way to our house?" everyone wondered.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpAkLPLJnu
Then came the shocking revelation.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtabK306Vsm
King Aldric and Queen Alina announced that their only son, Prince Khen Evander, had fallen deeply in love with Quily.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5uY5ywOpY
With great respect, King Aldric turned toward Quily's grandparents and humbly said,
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAL2ZnEJDRX
"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."
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTPrpPnT1B
Silence filled the air.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYn9jSWyIO7
Everyone stood speechless.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6yV66qvYe
But no one was more shocked than Quily herself.11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcFhzwI22Z
