☆COMPLETE 2024☆
A man afraid to speak his heart.
A woman who cannot express hers with words.
An odd pair, perhaps-but the king has his own way of loving his beloved Lilibeth.
The old-fashioned way.
Letters.
He pours his thoughts onto paper, inked with the weight of all he cannot say aloud. Page by page, his emotions take shape-tender, reverent, sincere. And Lilibeth, ever patient, reads each letter with a quiet smile. She keeps them close, tucking them into a jar beside her bed, where they rest among his other missives. There, she can revisit his love again and again-each word a soft echo of his soul.
To others, this way of loving may seem outdated. Uninspired. A relic of a slower, forgotten time. But as the old saying goes, "Old is gold. " And gold endures.
Just like a treasured heirloom passed through generations, or a fading photograph that still holds warmth-his letters are steeped in something timeless.
They are his heart.
Old, golden, and ever hers.
My Dearest Lilibeth,
You kept them, didn't you?
I'm glad. I don't mind writing to you, my dear. In fact, I could write you a thousand times more-just to tell you how much you mean to me.
You, a woman who blooms like springtime, gentle and wild. I still wonder how a reckless, war-stained soul like mine ever found his way to you-and how you loved me so kindly in return.
A woman blooming so softly...
Let me love you the vintage way:
Letters for my words.
Flowers for my heart.
My dear Lilibeth, I hope to see you again. And if I do, I promise-I'll send you letters once agai-
"Hey, Monkey King. Who are you writing to?"
A boy in a red bandana flopped down beside his mentor, sipping from a juice box. Wukong looked at him, then smiled gently.
"It's for my dear Lilibeth."
