A man afraid of expressing himself.
A woman who long lost her voice.
An odd pair, yet love finds its way-timeless, wordless, and quietly profound.
The king, in his own ancient way, adores his beloved Lilibeth.
Letters.
He pours his heart onto parchment, letting ink speak where his voice cannot. Each letter is carefully penned for Lilibeth-his muse, his solace. She reads them with a gentle smile, pressing each one close to her chest before tucking it away into one of the many glass jars beside her bed, saving them like fragile dreams.
To others, this old-fashioned form of love may seem outdated, uninteresting. But as the saying goes: Old is gold.
And what is gold, if not a family heirloom? A memory? A heritage passed through generations-a symbol of love's resilience?
These letters are more than words.
They are his heart.
Old. Golden. Eternal.
Forever, he will love his dearest Lilibeth.
My dear Lilibeth,
You kept them, didn't you? I'm glad. I don't mind writing for you, my dear-I could fill a thousand pages with the weight of what I feel for you. A woman like flowers-marvelous, delicate. Sometimes I wonder how an impulsive, destructive warlord like me ever held you so gently.
A woman blooming so quietly in a world so loud.
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 write you letters once agai-
"Hey, Monkey King, who are you writing to?" A boy in a red bandana plopped beside his mentor, sipping from a juice box.
Wukong glanced over, a soft smile playing on his lips.
"To my dear Lilibeth."
