Chapter 648: Volume Seventeen: Dark Descends on Earth - Nineteen: Who Sets the Trap for Whom?
"Eve and Finitz have already made contact with those two?" Komer, with his hands clasped behind his back, gazed through the scenery outside the window.
"Yes, they have made contact. Just as Lordship expected, those two indeed requested to travel to Leon with Miss Eve and Miss Finitz," Maha Gummi had to admit that his master was much better at divining the hearts of men, especially those of the Church, than he was; it was not his area of expertise.
"They didn’t arouse any suspicion, did they?" Komer lowered his head and asked softly.
"They shouldn’t have. Both individuals are very vigilant, but the identities of Miss Eve and Miss Finitz mesh seamlessly. They must believe in the identities of the young ladies. The fact that they volunteered to accompany them is clear evidence. They probably want to use what they think are outsiders to understand the real situation in Caucasus and Leon. It seems that they also doubt the information and news they have received," Maha Gummi nodded in agreement.
"I hope Eve and Finitz won’t slip up," Komer sighed softly.
"Lordship needn’t worry. Both Miss Eve and Miss Finitz are very shrewd. I was always concerned that Miss Eve would be unwilling to comply with Lordship’s request, but once she agreed, she would certainly do her best to fulfill it, and she also has the capability to do it well," Maha Gummi seemed quite reassured.
"Hmm, Maha Gummi, even I myself was not very confident at first. As you said, her agreement means that the matter is already halfway to success," Komer agreed with Maha Gummi’s view. Underneath Eve’s delicate appearance was a stubborn and strong heart, something Komer had come to fully appreciate through extensive contact.
"With the help of Miss Eve and Miss Finitz, I think that unless these two individuals are exceedingly suspicious, they will hardly be able to find any flaws. As long as their subjective views change, I suspect they will find it very difficult to uncover anything in Caucasus," Maha Gummi offered his analysis from a psychological perspective, stating that if Eve and Finitz could successfully change the two men’s viewpoints, many issues would easily be explained. Once certain biases took root, many non-issues could be dug up, not to mention the underlying problems that already existed.
