Potential Weakness (Part-2)

The moment Alexander asked about the Kaiser family, the light suddenly went out of Miss Linda's eyes, turning dull and reticent

It was as if she was glitching for a second, unable to properly respond to the threat that family might pose.

"It is best that we do not involve the Kaiser family right now. If they learn of our civil conflict, they will surely try to take advantage of our weakened state." Miss Linda however quickly recovered from this and hastily created a reasonable excuse, before hurriedly reassuring, "But remain sure my lord, I promise to get justice for you the moment we have finished dealing with our current predicament."

Alexander might have bought this reason if he did not have enough auxiliary evidence to suspect otherwise.

Miss Linda probably did not want to involve the Kaiser family because it would unravel their plot at the most inopportune time and might result in the bird fleeing its coop at the last second.
