Gaining the Count's Support

Adela was currently in her room playing with a letter in her hands, debating whether or not she should read its contents. On this letter was the seal of house von Habsburg-Innsbruck and she knew of only one member of that family who would ever write to her.

Obviously, this letter contained the words of Linde, though what it contained the young girl did not have the heart to find out. She was fearful it would contain the truth about the parentage of Linde's child as a way to mock her now that she was away from Berengar's company.

After some time, Adela decided to open the letter and, after doing so, read through its contents with an anxious outlook. It was only after she had re-read the letter three times did she fully relax; she realized that she had been completely overthinking things and that she should have opened it sooner.
