"That's exactly the problem," Catherine said with a bitter smile, "Two contradictory possibilities and no one can draw a definitive conclusion, naturally resulting in an uncertain plan of action. That's why Pannis just told Lord Weston that voicing such concerns is meaningless, as it only brings countless troubles and endless headaches. The truth can now only be guessed at, and no one dares to bet on a probability where the chances of being right or wrong are nearly equal. Neither Pannis nor Lord Weston dares, because if they guess wrong, the cost would be unbearable. Perhaps some would dare to guess, but obviously, the Deities would not allow such reckless speculation, for that is merely plain recklessness."
"But this way, the problem isn't solved, is it?" Vivian pressed, "Why is the final conclusion that the problem has been resolved?"
"That's what I want to ask as well," Catherine turned to Pannis and asked, "What is the method to solve the problem?"
