Lily hummed and continued "Brother Zerus, Guards are in slumber state! Then it could be because of the food or the air they inhaled. I don't think it's through food. Because only the guards in the dungeon area are asleep. So they could be in this state through inhaling.
Brother Zerus, Check out the dungeon area, especially where they guarded and see if you can find anything related to the source of smell."
"I got your point, I'll check it out" Zerus agreed.
"Brother Zerus, why do you think we never installed CC-cameras in the dungeon?" Lily snapped.
"Well, you ask the wrong person." Zerus chuckled at her question.
"Do you think I have never asked him?"
"What was grandpa's answer?"
"Well, that's an annoying answer. If you're curious, you can go ask him." Lily said.
"No need, I'll kill my curiosity" Zerus replied.
Lily chuckled and said "Now, quickly go to my office, I'll help you find the culprit."
"Ohh!!! So, Princess Lily did something behind my back again."
"Hahaha, you're the first one to know what it is again." Lily
"Hmm." Zerus sighed before heading to Lily's office.
"What did you do again, princess Lily?"
"Why don't you hurry up to find out about it, Your highness?" Lily playfully replied.
"Of course, I am already going fast. What are you doing now?"
"Yesterday, we saw an accident on our way home. Today, I came to the hospital to visit him."
"Hmm, How are your parents doing?
Zerus inquired.
"They're doing fine." Lily replied with a smile.
"Well, I reached your office." Zerus said.
"Hmm, There's a laptop in my hidden drawer under the table. You can take it and log into it. The password is HYLA COUNTRY in all caps. There's an IP camera software icon, you can click on it and check the footage of the dungeon at night after I leave." Lily detailed.
"Y.. Yo... You installed cameras???" Zerus was shocked for a moment.
"Well, it's a secret camera. I asked him, and he said he wouldn't install them. So, I installed them secretly in some special places. Don't you think they're useful now?" Lily replied.
"I really want to applaud you. You're the only one who can do something, even against Grandpa. And I know you only do useful things," Zerus replied admiringly.
Lily smiled and didn't reply. Zerus checked the footage and he saw a maid and a guard enter the room where the leader was being tortured and held captive. He also sent the footage to Lily.
After reviewing the footage, Lily snickered and replied, "A fox in the form of an innocent rabbit. She is a newly appointed maid. When I came on vacation two months ago, I saw her enter my office. When I questioned her, she said she was a newly hired employee and didn't know about not entering my office. I had a suspicion, but she acted very innocently and I ignored it." Lily explained.
"The guard is a question mark now. A young maid should be trained for six months before being appointed. But guards have two or three years of training. I don't think he is a trained guard in our palace. He is not even among the guards in the hospital." Zerus replied.
"He may have killed the real guard and taken his place. I think they planned everything before they got here. Maybe someone is giving them orders." Lily replied thoughtfully.
"Hmm, I know what to do now. You rest assured. I try my best to keep you from taking another week of holiday to come here." Zerus replied with a smile.
"I appreciate that brother Zerus. I hope, finding their face and identity helps you to capture them easily without my involvement. This time I don't want to take a leave or my college will give me a TC and send me to take the necessary leave." Lily playfully replied.
