"Uncle, you shouldn't lose hope," Taranis said, his voice firm. "She didn't say she was waiting for her lover. It could be someone from her family. I've never met that lady, but if she truly waited for someone for a thousand years, she must be an extremely strong-willed person. You mustn't give up."
Stormir gave Taranis a silent look before bursting into laughter again, this time even louder.
"I never thought I would receive love advice from a five-year-old," Stormir laughed. "What's even more ridiculous is that the advice is perfect."
Taking a few more gulps from the white jade bottle, Stormir announced, "I was having second thoughts about meeting her again, but now I've made my decision. I won't give up until she either agrees to my proposal or reveals who the person she's waiting for truly is."
With that, Stormir continued drinking, a faint smile tugging at his lips as his eyes locked onto something distant.
