Dorothy's POV:
These words reminded the Crown Prince and the president of the Supreme Council of the current stalemate. They did not have the confidence to break the stalemate rashly, so they could only leave with their men unwillingly.
Even if they didn't leave any spies, they didn't lack channels to get information about the palace. There were still thousands of servants and guards here.
It was unlikely that there were spies in the Council of Elders, so it was apparent who had leaked tonight's plan. The servants' intelligence network was sometimes enough to shock the masters, who thought they had everything under control.
"Are we just going to give up like this?" I asked the Council of Elders.
The Great Elder winked at me but didn't say anything. I couldn't figure out what he meant, so I could only follow them and leave the bed chamber.
Tonight's plan was ruined, so I had no reason to stay in the palace any longer.
