"Then I may not be able to love you, but I can sleep with you."
In a world much like ours, yet different in many ways, at midnight on April 21, 1999, twelve hours after the war began, her friends and family had been reduced to scattered bones, her homeland had fallen, and her life was hanging by a thread. At the end of her strength, Edelgard, who had lost everything, saw a Valkyrie piloting a black mecha descend from the sky and reach out to save her.
"Who are you?" She had nowhere left to turn.
"I love you." But that was not the answer she received.
"What is love?"
"Sacrifice, devotion, loyalty, and trust."
So, all right: "Then I may not be able to love you, but I can sleep with you."
Whatever happens, please believe that fate did not let us die here because there are still great deeds for you to accomplish with your own hands. When the girls meet, sparks fly. They rush toward us on the wind from the long night, and will ultimately set the whole world ablaze.
(I'm a new writer hoping for follows and comments. This is an alternate history about a fallen kingdom's little princess and an artificial Valkyrie, a story of saving and being saved. It may be a little slow to get going, so I hope my dear readers will be patient. I hope to give everyone a sweeping, epic reading experience!)
