Adalind already made the choice on her own. Sean, Sebastian, Meisner and Kelly all worked with her to get her away from the Royals, they had nothing to do with Adalind's change of heart. Regardless of her escaping Austria, Adalind story did not end with her selling off Diana. She wanted Diana and didn't care about the deal she had made with Stefania. She changed her mind. So even if she died without ever leaving Austria, her story regarding her own daughter didn't end with just selling off Diana.
If Adalind was adamant about selling Diana without those pesky motherly feelings kicking into high gear, she would have happily handed Diana over to Viktor herself and there would be nothing Sean/resistance could do about it since she was already entrenched in the Royals territory.
OK, rp, I agree, she changed her mind after she got her Hex back, but again, you are stating what we saw is also what the gang saw and marched on with the kidnapping.
They were unaware of her change of heart. You are assuming, what we saw is what they saw. Just because she went along with Meisner is not enough proof for the rest, to think she was a changed woman, given the history she had with the group and Sean.
They were wrong regardless of Adalind.
To protect Diana from the Royals didn't need Adalind to be kept in the dark and away from Diana indefinitely yet that's what they all did, compounding their lie and honestly self serving actions. To deceive Viktor into assuming the resistance had Diana didn't involve stealing Diana away from Adalind permanently. Adalind came to them begging for all of their help and they sent her to the very person they wanted to keep far away from Diana. Viktor is the one figured out who had Diana when Adalind recited how she left Austria. Adalind didn't know Kelly had taken Diana until Viktor put the pieces together.
I bet if the gang known Adalind was the paragon of all things good and virtuous they would have worked just as hard to keep mother and daughter together, getting them both to safety as originally intended and the kidnapping would have been far from their minds because they'd actually know kidnapping was wrong. But since it's Adalind, was she not worth the consideration?
