The next day, Yanzhi took Aveline to a hidden place by the river, far from the hustle and bustle of the village. There, he revealed part of the secret about himself and his true family.
"Aveline, I am not just an ordinary youth. I am the heir to the throne of this kingdom. I disguised myself to see the outside world without the shadows of the palace," Yanzhi said in a serious but gentle voice.
Aveline paused for a moment, processing the words. But her eyes radiated trust. "I'm not afraid, Yanzhi. I want to know more about the world you live in, and I want us to live it together."
They both clasped hands, vowing to face whatever comes together, whether from the dark past or the challenging future.
