Letters Over Dwindling Times (A Post-Timeskip Edelgard/Petra Drabble)

(An angsty drabble about Edelgard and Petra sending each other letters, and how Petra stops over time. Edelgard/Petra.).

When they graduated Edelgard suggested to Petra that in order to keep contact that they should write letters to each other. Petra was ecstatic with the idea; she could keep in contact with her best friend and love while she was back at Brigid! 

The first letter brought incomprehensible joy to both rulers.

Dearest Petra,

Though it has been two months since we graduated I find myself missing you the most. You were the first true friend I made; I felt like our connection was genuine. I believe that Brigid is in capable hands with you. We will see each other again some time. That is something I constantly look forward to.

Your dearest friend, Edelgard.

It is said that Petra had the widest grin any human being could muster when she had read that letter.

Dearest Edelgard,

Reading your letter warms me greatly! You are someone whom I miss most. I miss everyone, yet I thinking of you always. You first welcomed me and respected me. Over time I cherished you, and now you are closest friend. I too looking much forward when we meet again!

Your dearest friend, Petra.

They kept sending letters to each other, both constantly eager to receive news from one another. Whenever they heard that they received a letter excitement consumed every fibre of their being, even if they might have felt tired or dour.

Dearest Petra,

It was absolutely wonderful seeing you again! Oh how I miss your kind brown eyes and radiant smile. You bring unspeakable joy to mine life. No other person does so. In this case I was wondering if... maybe when the time is right...that you would take my hand in marriage. Please disregard that last statement!

Your dearest friend, Edelgard.

Dearest Edelgard,

I felt such an immense joy from seeing you after a year since we last saw each other! My Adrestian has improved and your Brigidian has too! You are the only person to make me feel special. I could not read your scribbled writing. Did you write something embarrassing? You know I can never find you embarrassing.

Your dearest friend, Petra.

But overtime in the following years Edelgard stopped receiving letters from Petra.

At first The Emperor of Adrestia grew worried that something happened to Petra. But then it turned into utter puzzlement when she learnt that Petra was in perfect condition, and the ruler of Brigid. 

Dearest Petra,

Is there something bothering you at Brigid? I have been informed that you are the ruler and in fine condition. Are you scared that I am angry at you for refusing to join Adrestia in this war? I have mentioned in the letter that I am not forcing you to join me.

Your dearest friend, Edelgard.

Yet as the war continued Edelgard still received nothing from Petra. All she knew was from her spy networks informing her that Brigid wished to remain neutral in the three-way conflict. 

Dear Petra,

Please respond to me... I know from close sources that my letters arrive to Brigid. Why is it that you wish to distance yourself from me?

Your friend, Edelgard.

Apparently when some Adrestian refugees were taken onto Brigid the ruler made it clear that she despised the emperor. To say this broke Edelgard’s heart was an understatement. Many of her old friends have left her or broke away any bonds they had with her. As emperor that is what she is used to: friends are a burden to rational rule. Yet that logic did not apply to Petra...

Dear Petra,

What have I done to make you despise me so much? I have not invaded Brigid nor do I show discrimination against your people. If I wanted to I could invade and conquer Brigid anytime! The only Brigidians I have killed are those allied to Faerghus or the Leicester Alliance! I know you get these letters so respond to me! I am your emperor so I command you to!

Edelgard.

Then one day a letter came. 

When a messenger came to her chambers and informed her that it was from Petra the usually cold emperor leapt to her feet and snatched it from him. Once she dismissed him and her servants she read the letter. At the last sentence she froze. Her hands shivered and her fingers clenched the sheet of paper. In a fit of rage she screamed and tore the letter to shreds. Through laboured breathing she then sat back on her throne and cusped her face to hold back the tears threatening to break her cool mask.

Emperor of Adrestia,

The woman that I fell in love with known as Edelgard von Hresvelgr is no more.

Petra.
