Absolute Authority

Berengar sat upon his Throne while tapping his armrest; to his left was Linde, Adela to his right. The three of them stared down below Austria's seat of power to witness the French Princess bowing her head with respect. With one glimpse of Berengar, she could tell that he was nothing like her own father. This was a man who wielded absolute power with both fear and respect. 

However, the one who truly caught her eye was the redheaded lass by his side; Linde gazed upon Sibilla with a look of complete and total contempt. This gaze did not go unnoticed by the French Princess, and if she were as mentally weak as her brother, she too might have succumbed to the pressure this woman was exuding. Instead, she merely behaved with the respect afforded to a foreign monarch. However, Berengar's following words immediately caused the young woman to become enraged.
