Preparations

"Now remember, you need to give it to her in her own hands and wait until she writes a reply in front of you before you bring it back."

"Understood, Your Highness." Bjarte relaxes his shoulder after handing his envoy the letter.

Since no one is answering his questions about his sister, he has taken matters into his own hands. He has written a letter to Bodil and has charged one of his most trusted men to deliver it and bring an answer. He just hopes that she is doing fine in Skagen.

Bjarte watches as the envoy disappears in the distance, before he turns around and walks toward the castle. It is still quite early, but he knows the person he needs to speak with is already awake. He arrives at his brother's study and knocks. 

"Come in." His brother orders.

"Good morning, Your Majesty." He greets.

"Ah, it is you." Brandt says, surprised. "You are up early this morning."
