Letters

SuFin, for the 2016 Suströmmiakki Festival! The prompt was Illness (Letter or 1700). Royalty AU but also not an AU during The Great Famine, don't worry, hopefully you'll understand. I'd suggest reading these chapters in separate tabs, because you might have to remember parts in chapters previous. I apologize beforehand if this sucks. I hope you enjoy!

2. Chapter 2

July 3, 1695

Lord Berwald,

I do not know if the last letter has sent to you, however, I shall continue my efforts in writing to you every now and then, because we rarely see each other.

I do not know much about you, other than you assisting the royal family of Ruotsi, but I would like to know more about you, because I think this will be a lovely friendship. So: How old are you? Where do you live? Inside the castle with the royal family? We don't have many to help us in our castle, so I don't really have anyone to talk to - other than Mother of course. But unfortunately Mother has taken ill as of late, so I am overseeing her duties till she has recovered. This parchment is almost filled, so I shall ask you more questions the next time I write to you, and I hope I will receive answers either the next we meet or if I get a responding letter - whichever is sooner.

Sincerely,

Prince Tino Väinämoïnen of Suomi
