DOVE means DO YOU LOVE ME, that is, whether you love me or not.
The love story behind it is:
In the spring of p>1919, the Luxembourg royal family welcomed Princess Charlotte to inherit the throne, and she also married Prince Felix, a descendant of Bourbon family. Leon, as a chef in the royal kitchen, is very busy. He has been sorting out cupboards and chopsticks all day, and his hands have cracked several times. When he was scrubbing the wound with salt water, a girl came up to him and said, Must it hurt? This girl is Princess Bazaar who later influenced Leon I.
so the two young people met. Leon, who has never been loved by anyone, met the kind Bazaar. Because Bazaar is only a distant relative of Prince Felix, her position in the royal family is very low, and it is not her turn to taste the rare food-ice cream. So Leon sneaked into the kitchen every night and made ice cream for Bazaar. They always talked about the past while tasting, and Bazaar also taught Leon English. Seed of love's sweetness lingered in their hearts, but in that age when the hierarchy was clearly conservative, because of their special status and situation, none of them expressed their love in their hearts, but silently buried it in their hearts.
At the beginning of the 2th century, in order to strengthen Luxembourg's position in Europe as a whole, Luxembourg and Belgium entered into a covenant. In order to consolidate the relationship between the two countries, royal marriage became the best method, and the chosen person was Princess Bazaar. Leon didn't see Princess Bazaar for several days in a row, and he was worried. Finally, a month later, Bazaar appeared on the dining table. However, she has lost a lot of weight and the whole person looks haggard. While preparing cakes, Leon wrote several English letters "DOVE" on Bazaar's ice cream with hot chocolate, which is the abbreviation of "DO YOU LOVE ME". He believed that Bazaar would be able to guess his heart, but Bazaar stayed for a long time until the hot chocolate melted. A few days later Bazaar got married. A year later, Leon, who couldn't stand the torture of lovesickness, left the royal kitchen and quietly came to a high-end restaurant in the United States with a hidden pain in his heart. The boss here appreciates him very much and betrothed his daughter to Leon. The passage of time, the peaceful family career and the birth of a son failed to heal the deep wounds in Leon's heart. His heart failed to escape his wife's eyes, and her anger broke out and she left angrily.
since then, Leon has been running his candy store alone with his son. One day in 1946, Leon saw his son chasing a car selling ice cream, and the door of memory was suddenly knocked open. Leon hasn't made ice cream since Bazaar left. This time Leon decided to continue the research that had not been completed for Bazaar in the past. After several months of careful research and development, an ice cream rich in cream and wrapped in mellow chocolate came out and was engraved with four letters. The son naively asked Leon what DOVE meant. Leon said softly that this is the name of ice cream. Dove's ice cream was well received as soon as it was launched. Just then, Leon received a letter from Luxembourg, which was written to him by a partner who worked in the chef's kitchen. In the letter, Leon learned that Princess Bazaar had sent people to inquire about him everywhere, hoping that he could visit her, but he learned that he had gone to the United States. Due to the influence of World War II, this letter arrived in Leon's hand a full year and three days late. Leon went through a lot of hardships and finally met Princess Bazaar. Bazaar and Leon are both old at this time. Bazaar lies on the bed weakly, and her eyes, which used to be rippling, become gray. Leon threw himself in front of her bed, and tears could not help falling on the back of her pale hand. Bazaar reached out and gently stroked Leon's hair, calling Leon's name in an almost inaudible voice. Bazaar recalled that she was in Luxembourg at that time, and she loved Leon very much. She refused to get married by hunger strike. She was kept in custody for a month, and she knew that she could never escape the fate of getting married. Besides, Leon never said that she loved her, and she didn't make any promises. In those days, it was costly for a woman to break up with the whole family. In the end, she had to give in to her fate, but only if she could go back to Luxembourg for another afternoon tea, because she wanted to say goodbye to Leon there. She ate the chocolate ice cream he gave her and saw the melted letters. Hearing this, Leon broke down in tears, and the misunderstanding of the past was finally answered. But it was too late. Three days later, Bazaar passed away. Leon heard from the servant that Bazaar was depressed all day after she got married, which led to her illness. After learning that Leon had left Luxembourg and got married in the United States, she could not afford to get sick. Leon was very sad. If the hot chocolate on the ice cream didn't melt, and if Bazaar understood his heart, then she would definitely change her mind and elope with him.
