Between Your Letters and Mine

"Hello, to a certain soldier whose name and face I do not know.

I’m glad that fate has connected us like this. I am merely a young lady from a minor family living in the countryside where the scenery is beautiful. I have nothing remarkable enough to mention when introducing myself."

Damian, a soldier serving in the war, is pushed into making a pen pal by his superior one day.

All he knows about the other person is that she is a noble girl one year older than him, named Lintrey, and the address of her home.

To Damian, letter-writing is nothing more than a duty.

"Do you have no intention of being discharged?"

"I hope you stay somewhere safe."

"Please always take care of yourself, and may the goddess of luck and victory be with you in the new year."

And yet...

It turns out they weren’t simply exchanging letters from the very beginning.

***

Later, after being discharged because of an accident, Damian goes to the address where he had been sending letters to Lady Lintrey, only to hear unexpected news.

"If the Lintrey you’re talking about means the maid in that house, then she’s dead."

The house that should have been there has burned down completely, leaving him only with questions about Lady Lintrey...

Thrown into confusion, Damian heads to the capital to find the 'Lintrey' he had been corresponding with.

Will Damian be able to find Lady Lintrey?
