Legendary Sun Knight
Dearest Blueberry Pie, When I saw you for the first time, I thought ‘how sweet you look’. I fell in love with you right there and then. You wore the most stunning of pastries around your waist while your glaze gleamed with sugary goodness. When I first met you, I had too many competitors. So many times I tried to grasp a hold of you, only to find you going to someone else’s hand. I recruited the help of my good friend, Lesus to help me get a hold of you. He brought you to our rendezvous point, the bathroom and I tasted you for the first time. My love for you cannot compare to my meagre love for your sister, the Ice Knight’s blueberry shaved ice. I promise if you are forever mine and mine alone, I will no longer record the beauties from the corner of my eyes and no longer fight with Ecilian for his shaved ice. Instead I will ogle beauties with open eyes and ask Lesus to bring me more shaved ice. I will take care of you when you’re hot, and come for you when you feel yourself burn. Surrender yourself to me and I will love you forever. Our love will be known to the world. We will no longer have to hide. I will replace all my apple wine with you, so you no longer need to compete for my attention. All of my descendants will have you to accompany them. When the time comes that we need to part, dear blueberry pie, I promise I will give you a piece of myself the same way you have given all your slices to me.
Grisia, the lover of all blueberry pies
½ Prince
Dearest Xiao Lan Wifey, I haven’t seen my wifey in three days. Your hubby is missing you a lot, but no matter, Valentine’s day is coming and hubby wants to do many things with wifey! Cannot say no! This hubby valiantly carried both our children for nine months each, and couldn’t do anything fun with wifey. So wifey, for this Valientine’s day, I want to feel your flat, broad chest and tense bouncy muscles. Afterwards you can smile and hit me again like when we first met! Hubby will also compose a ballad about wifey’s fist of love. Ah! It’ll be so romantic Everyone will be jealous that I have such a wonderful wifey. After that we can go on a romantic walk while swatting out flies that come to close my wifey!
Before we go on our romantic date though, Wifey, the other day, Lolidragon said she saw you with another man. Wifey’s not allowed to cheat on hubby, cannot look at other men except for hubby, cannot smile at other men except for hubby, cannot elope with any man except hubby, cannot hug or accept roses for any men except hubby! Cannot run away with any man except hubby! Wahhh! I’m sorry wifey! Please don’t hit me! Gui will be a good hubby, and stay at home to cook and look after the kids.
The best hubby in the world, Gui

I find it quite amusing how some people were concerned about making the word count and here, I had the opposite concern. xD This love letter is set in Legend of Sun Knight's timeline, between the original series and 39. Without further ado: I do not know how to express my feelings in words. Because of Grisia, a lot of... interesting thoughts have been going through my mind. I don't know how to handle the situation at present. He is such a handful. I wish I could hate him for all of the trouble he has caused and is causing, but alas, I cannot. Knowing how easily our situations could have been reversed... It makes it hard to look him in the eye sometimes. I think he knows this, in spite of his sight. Elaro said something interesting the other day. He said that he believed the Grisia who greeted us as the demon king was incredibly anguished. He was in so much pain that he was going mad. I know for myself that it is the dark element that corrodes one's mind as the demon king. In such high concentrations, anyone would be lucky to retain any semblance of their former self. This begs to question something Grisia himself had voiced concerns regarding: Did you let me die out of cruelty, or out of mercy? While it is true that an undead demon king most certainly wouldn't be a merciful route to any, when I had been the demon king ever so briefly, I didn't feel any despair. I instantly lost myself, and had no inkling of the kindness Grisia insists has always been within me. I didn't feel any despair. I didn't feel anything at all. Was this your "solution?" Your answer? I don't know if I want to know. It might be easier if I didn't know... And yet, I am alive. I can feel subtle traces of emotions sometimes. It hurts to know that he's suffering where I would have felt nothing at all... But to know that you set me on a path that would have been painless to me, regardless of its effects on everyone else... I want to hate you for manipulating my comrades, but this conflicted feeling is closer to something else.
WC: 337 {Afterthoughts}
I’m pretty sure the sender/recipient are pretty obvious here, but I’ll state it anyways. It’s from Roland to Pink. I chose LSK from the start, because a lot of the characters have positive/ambiguous relationships and I am so horribly biased towards all twelve Holy Knights and their students. There are certainly a lot of characters/relationships to chose from, be them romantic or humorous. A thought occurred to me. The theme is a love letter, yes? That implies that there is both a sender and a recipient. “Love,” however, doesn’t necessarily imply romance or passion, or even a desire to love someone. It is a different kind of love, but it is love, nonetheless.

pandamonium I was too lazy to create another thread, so all the submissions and the comments are published on this one. No need to worry, as long as I've liked your submission post, you're officially a participant. thebookgirl Heya, I had guessed easily that this was from Roland, but I admit I couldn't guess at all who the recipient was. Good thing you mentioned it. And you're right, love manifests itself in different ways. It could be friendship, family, romance, even rivalty (because why not?), or something you like A LOT. Perhaps I should have put that in the description of the contest, but it doesn't really matter.

I'll admit, it also occurred to me that with Roland basically being ace/aro, he would have no desire for a relationship outside of camaraderie or kinship, so he'd most likely spend his Valentine's day either with Pink, or being sent on errands by her. (That's assuming Grisia is spending his time with Charlotte and not taking advantage of Roland.)

unice5656 Yes, indeed. One entry per person. In case your question was about pandamonium though... While I did allow participants to sent up to two letters in one entry, I technically never said that both letters couldn't be from different series.

...I didn't realize I was bending the rules...I looked at the rules and was like...well, these are my two favourite series and they'd be funny to do. It's within the word count! 525 words total ><

Series: Legend of Sun Knight I love the way you taste when my lips kiss you.
I love the way you captivate my soul;
So when I lay my vision upon your peerless form,
I can hardly keep my self-control.
You are a mixture of so many wonderful things,
I hardly know where to start.
So I write this message for you,
A letter from my heart.
Every moment of everyday I long to smell your sweet scent,
A fragrance that clings to my most precious memories.
Memories that I closely embrace as long as I live,
And I store them in my mind’s treasury.
Now I know I’m not perfect;
In fact I’m practically blind.
I’m selfish and greedy…
Conniving, I’m just the kind.
But you never take notice of any of that;
You do not care about those things.
You have the perfect touch of goodness,
Prettier than an angel’s pair of wings.
You are a little crusty around the edges,
But I like that about you.
You bring me so much happiness,
Yet you don’t have a clue.
Despite my deep abounding love for you
I fear you care for me not at all.
For even though you listen to my words,
You don’t respond to my call.
When I am in even my darkest hours,
You manage to bring an unpretentious smile to my face.
You saccharine thing of the earth,
Sweeter than the sweetest dates.
So at last I’m going to ask of you,
Right before I say “goodbye”,
To please not hate me for my actions…
When I consume you, Blueberry Pie! {Spoiler}{Spoiler} {Spoiler! Includes the title of the love letter. Please read letter first!}
Ode to the Blueberry Pie

Where did my February go?! O__O Whlep, here's my submission! It takes place in Legend of Sun Knight, while Sun is Demon King.
To my beloved child Grisia,
I write this letter to you, my dearest child, with no intention for you to read it.
I chose you as my child, and I love you as my own. When you were taken from me it was as if my own heart was torn out. I watched you from afar, yearning just to be by your side. I cursed my weakness for being unable to protect you.
However, now that you have come back to my side and have taken the throne as Demon King, I am feeling conflicted. One part of me is overjoyed that I could just be in your presence. The other part of me is in anguish, watching you slowly fall apart from the inside out.
I can’t apologize enough for the pain I caused you. And yet, I would not choose to change the past, and for that I despise myself. For if you had not become Demon King, your life would have been cut short. I can’t apologize enough for forcing my selfish desires on you, my beloved child, but I couldn’t bare to see another one of my precious children fall at the hands of another candidate.
My only wish now is for you to be happy. I would go to any lengths, commit any acts, just to see a genuine smile for your precious face. I feel your pain a hundred fold. My love for you is all I have to keep me going. Without you, I am nothing.
I’m sorry.
Scarlet

Oh God of Light, and here I thought I was being original, but turns out everyone ships Sun x blueberry pie XD Though who can really blame us; it's the second best OTP besides Twelve Holy Knights x happiness, am I right? ;3 Also, here's a larger version of my entry. I went back through the thread and found that it was waaaaay too small to see all the details properly. (If you click into the picture, you'll probably be able to see it better) It's NOT a resubmission or a new entry, so hopefully I'm not considered too late?

Hello everyone! Good news! I finally managed to get enough votes from PR! staff to officially announce the Valentine Contest winners. Believe it or not, due to many ties, we have 4 winners. 1 winner for 1st place, and 3 winners for second place. Runner up prize winners (2nd place):Congratulations to CherryChimchim , Krescent , and Trespasserby . Everyone liked your letters, and all of you got quite a large amount of votes. We will soon contact you to know which prize you wish to get. You may choose one of the following prizes:1. Request PR! Staff to sing a song of your choice. Only some staff will be available. They’ll try their best~. or 2. Decide the theme and the details of the next contest held by PR!. We sincerely apologize about the vast variety of prizes (*cough*), as PR! staff members are currently very busy and also extremely short on chapters. Grand prize winner (1st place):Congratulations to moonlightray . The voters really liked your love letter featuring our beloved Sun Knight declaring his undying love to blueberry pies. The Sun speech added to the realism of the letter (although it gave me quite a huge headache, which means that it was effective haha), and the doll was a nice plus that everyone enjoyed looking at (what is it made of, by the way? Clay?). We believe you faithfully illustrated Sun's unlimited love for blueberry pie. We will soon contact you to know which prize you wish to get. You may choose one of the following prizes:1. Snail mail from PR! including a handwritten letter, one LSK keychain and Lucathia’s autograph (limited edition). or 2. Request PR! staff to sing a song of your choice. Only some staff will be available. They’ll try their best~. Good luck trying to guess whoever sang it. Keychains available (X means that there are none left.) Regardless of which prize you guys choose, a shiny forum badge featuring a Gui completely enamored with Prince is on its way to all the winners. Thank you all for your participation!

Congrats everyone! Some of my favorites didn't make it, but I loved them~ unice5656I loved the format of your entry, and the letters were great fun to read. The P.S. of each added even more character. thebookgirlWhat a unique choice of sender and recipient! I thought it was a perfect exploration of Roland's feelings in regards to Pink. Such a complicated bond they have. Thanks for writing it.
