Cailan, The visit to Ferelden will be postponed indefinitely, due to the darkspawn problem. You understand, of course? The darkspawn have odd timing, don\'t they? Let us deal with them first. Once that is done we can further discuss a permanent alliance between Orlais and Ferelden. -- \

I see the idea, but the claim of \\\'permanent alliance\\\' is a hell of a distance from \\\"turning over the country\\\". The real thing here is the difference between Logaine\\\'s worldview (formed during the occupation of Fereldan by the Orlesians) of Orlais as an incredibly powerful enemy who would love to reconquer Fereldan, and the current reality (that Orlais is not currently hostile to Fereldan, and retaking the country would be a costly endeavour it does not care to endure).
Basically, I think the poster is CompletelyMissingThePoint. Those letters imply that Cailan was secretly having an affair with the empress of Orlais, but it doesn\\\'t infer that he was traitorous.
