The Mercenary and the Perfect Soldier
Chapter Seven: Mrs. Noventa's Letter
Heero Yuy,
My name is Mrs. Victoria Noventa, the wife of the late General Marshal Noventa and the grandmother of Sylvia Noventa. It has come to my attention through a trusted friend that you were the one that shot down my late husband's shuttle. And that you were on your way to see me and offer your life as retribution for this deed. After hearing what I hope to be the truth of the matter, I wrote this letter to you in the sincere hope that it finds your way to you.
What I wish for you to know is that I am a general's wife and as such, I was prepared for the day when Marshal would no longer be by my side. Though it took me by surprise, I was ready for that day and the days after. It would have been foolish for me to think otherwise.
But what I truly wish for you to know is that, I believe this to be a horrible mistake of war and that I do not harbor any ill will towards you. As such, there is no need to feel the that offering your life will earn you my forgiveness. You already possess it.
It is my prayer that you and the other soldiers of war will some day live in peace with each other. It was something Marshal was attempting when he was killed. Please, honor his last wish by helping to bring peace to both Earth and the colonies.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Victoria Noventa
