In Maple Leaf Village, ever since that bloody conflict, rumors hung over the entire village like dark clouds, heavy and oppressive. 0
 
Alice was engulfed in sorrow over Leon's serious injuries, while Oliver silently vowed to stay by her side and help her through this crisis. 0
 
One morning, before the first rays of sunlight fully illuminated the village, Oliver rose early. After a quick wash, he made his way to Alice's home. 0
 
In this difficult time, Alice needed companionship and support. He gently knocked on her door and felt a pang in his heart at the sight of her weary face. 0
 
"Alice, I'm here. Let's take a walk in the forest today; it might lift your spirits," Oliver said softly, his eyes filled with concern. 0
 
Alice hesitated for a moment but eventually nodded. She couldn’t remain trapped in her sadness forever; perhaps Oliver’s presence could help her momentarily forget her pain. 0
 
The two walked side by side along the path leading to the forest. Oliver occasionally glanced at Alice's expression, trying to find topics to cheer her up. 0
 
"Do you remember the wildflowers we found last time we were in the forest? They might be blooming even more beautifully this season," Oliver said with a smile. 0
 
Alice managed a faint smile in response, softly acknowledging his words. 0
 
In the forest, Oliver acted like a guardian, constantly alert to their surroundings, fearful of any danger approaching Alice. 0
 
When they reached a stream, Oliver paused and said, "Alice, let's rest here for a bit." He helped her sit on a stone by the water's edge and took out a handkerchief from his pocket, gently wiping away the tears on her face. 0
 
"Thank you, Oliver," Alice whispered, tears glistening in her eyes. 0
 
 
"If it weren't for you, I don't know what I would do." 0
 
"Don't say that, Alice. I promised you that I would always protect you. No matter what happens, I will never leave," Oliver said firmly, holding Alice's hand and conveying warmth and strength. 0
 
However, the pressure from the outside world did not lessen. The rumors in the village grew increasingly harsh, with some people even pointing fingers at Alice, blaming her for the conflict. 0
 
Upon hearing these rumors, Oliver felt a surge of anger, but he knew he couldn't act impulsively; his priority was to protect Alice. 0
 
One day, as Oliver and Alice returned from the forest, a group of villagers surrounded them. 0
 
An elder at the forefront frowned and said, "Oliver, Alice, you need to give everyone an explanation. This conflict has disrupted the peace of our village." 0
 
Oliver stepped forward, positioning himself in front of Alice. "Everyone, listen to me. This situation is a mistake made by Leon in a moment of confusion; it has nothing to do with Alice. We will take responsibility for it. Once Leon wakes up, everything will be clarified." 0
 
"But right now, the village is in turmoil. How can we feel safe?" another villager shouted. 0
 
"I understand everyone's concerns, but please trust us. Alice is innocent; she has always contributed to our village. We cannot harm a kind person based on unfounded rumors," Oliver said earnestly, his eyes reflecting determination. 0
 
Thanks to Oliver's efforts, the villagers' emotions gradually calmed down. But he knew that it would take time to completely eliminate the impact of this turmoil. 0
 
Back home, Alice sat wearily in a chair, tears streaming down her face once more. "Oliver, I'm so tired. Why does everyone treat me like this?" 0
 
Oliver walked over to her, knelt down gently, and embraced her. 0
 
 
“Alice, don’t be sad. This isn’t your fault; it’s those rumors causing trouble. I will stay by your side until everything gets better.” 0
 
During these difficult days, Oliver kept his promise unwaveringly. 0
 
He demonstrated his love and protection for Alice through his actions. 0
