Yep, that's effectively it.Writing would've likely caused more problems considering they are royalty. If she writes a letter it almost certainly passes through more hands than just hers, the postman's and Radimera's. And every person who comes in contact with it is one more potential leak. Then once word gets out that Holo is alive her kingdom would likely turn the whole world upside down looking for her and hurt any number of others in the process. And that assumes that Radimera herself doesn't just immediately go tell her parents and kick off the search herself, which seems highly likely given how she's reacted to everything from what we've seen.
For Holo the only way she was ever going to be free was if the world thought she was dead. It sucks for her sister and her family, but there isn't much else she could've done that would've kept her safe and prevented the risk of her escape falling apart.
The moment Holo tries to get word to her sister that she's still alive, even if the letter/messenger isn't intercepted by potentially malevolent forces and reaches its destination safely, Radimeria will 100% come crashing through the country to get her back, as evidenced by the way she acted merely when faced with Weiss prior to this chapter.
She would not have taken Holo's request for a peaceful, normal existence lying down and would have trampled over her sister's wishes without a second thought, given the way she was before.
It absolutely sucks, and for both of them. Holo clearly still loves her sister, but she had to escape her situation and life, and this was the cleanest way to do it. And Radimeria was very justified in her wrath and worry.
Luckily, she got her reunion, and she's accepted (for the moment) what Holo did and why. It remains to be seen if Holo is truly safe where she's at now that another member of the royal family knows the truth, but hopefully Radimeria will carry her secret, and things will remain stable-enough for the short term so Weiss can focus on Lily's education arc.
