Although they'd already followed Emilia's instructions and done their part, Jasper and Ginny obviously had no way of knowing the reaction of the politicians and officials. Even after taking over many of the resources only their 'father' used to enjoy, they simply didn't have any spies in a high enough rank to reliably dig out such information.
Of course, based on the fact that many of the military personnel that had been recently assigned to the capital region were redirected towards the border, they assumed that their plan had worked, and happily conveyed the good news to Emilia, who finally breathed a sigh of relief.
If the government of Carmen had been allowed to keep making full use of their military, the next few steps of her plan would definitely have gotten exponentially more difficult to pull off.
Luckily, they were as paranoid as ever, and simply assumed the worst out of everyone. Now she only had one thing to worry about.
