Formation of a Wicked Alliance

During Linde's maternity leave, the position of spymaster was temporarily handed over to her bastard half-sister Adelheid, who operated out of Innsbruck. She was the personal maid of Linde, who had since her departure been working at the family estate and directly serving her father, Lothar.

She was not exactly fond of her father due to how she had been treated throughout her youth and desperately looked up to Linde as her eldest sister and the only one who seemed to care for her. As such, she was more than eager to spy on her father's domain for her precious big sister.

Of course, she was not happy with Berengar for making Linde his lover; Adelheid thought that Linde's love had blinded her to Berengar's true nature and that in truth he was an absolute scoundrel, much like her father. However, if supporting him was what Linde wanted, then she would comply. Even if she believed Linde was deserving of the position of Berengar's wife and not that little girl from Graz.
