Nearly a week passed since they'd arrived in Bordelaix, allowing Dante and Angelia time to rest and recover from their journey, get their bearings and begin to meet with their concealed supporters within the city. Aware that the Deverauxs were due to return to the city any day, they'd been rather busy, working to lay their foundations, though the fast pace soon left her weary. Excusing herself from the afternoon's plans, Angelia opted to remain at their inn and rest quietly, tending to some correspondence and sewing as a conciliatory gesture to her weary body.
Consequently, when the letter arrived from her brother Rafael, she was present to receive and review the contents. Accepting the sealed missive from the innkeeper's wife, Angelia thanked the woman with a soft smile and the assurance that she was perfectly comfortable by the window, that Dante would return soon as well. Only once the woman was on her way and the door was closed did she break the wax and unfold the parchment to read the words within.
Brother,
Somehow, Carlos Negrotoro has learned of Maricela's trip to Lockewood and is a threat to us all. I have instructed one of our assets who happened to be same place I am to address the situation most decisively but I believe if would be best if you were to find another agent to see to this matter as well
Also, please ask Angelia to use her eyes and ears at home to find who revealed this knowledge and see the leak stopped lest we find more of our plans in the wrong hands. I will see to it the Negrotoro are suitably reminded of the cost of hampering our efforts.
Yours in family,
Rafael

For several minutes, Angelia sat immobile, her blue eyes gone distant with thought as her face arranged itself into a frown. Numerous reactions filtered through her mind, some less forgiving than others, but none of those mattered at the moment. Refolding the parchment, she left it to sit in her lap as she waited for her brother to return. This needed to be discussed from a damage control perspective, certainly, but also regarding what actions were required. She sighed quietly, shaking her head. Maricela had to be beside herself with panic; Angelia would have to write to her, though she wondered why the letter went to Rafael rather than to the eldest.
So many questions... perhaps Dante would hold some of the answers once he returned. Glancing down the street from the window at which she sat, her gaze fell on her twin. A smile formed for him, though there was concern in her eyes. Trouble had already found them here.
