Listening to Madam Art threaten to detain them for the crime of blasphemy against the Royal Family, the two dogs of the Masters could not hide the joy flickering in their eyes. After all, she had unwittingly found a way for them to complete their mission without dying.
If Madam Art detained them while they were carrying out their duties as officials of the central government, the central government would gain the justification it needed, while they themselves could keep their necks and live to face death another day.
