Sigismund pauses from massaging his temples to address the diet.

I suppose that's a much proof as we're going to get. Given the severity of the issue at hand I will observe a day of silence out of respect for the previous Kaiser, after which I will swear fealty to Siegfried if no new evidence presents itself.

Please understand my thoughts, my lord. I am fully willing to accept that the late Emperor did indeed name you as his heir. But this issue is too important for a rush to judgement one way or the other (looks pointedly at Frederick and Conrad), and establishing a consensus too early will only make it more difficult to see done.

Rest assured that I will repay Siegfried for this doubt should his claim be proven true.
