When the king of Badily learned that some of his spies had been discovered, he immediately called a meeting with his ministers. They still thought that only a few had been found due to negligence, so while discussing their plans, they were not very alarmed.
Unfortunately, in the following days, several similar reports came in. The king of Badily immediately understood that his plan was exposed, however, he could not do anything.
The spies he had entrusted with this job were people he had invested a lot of resources in, so finding out that they were dropping like flies hurt him, however, he couldn't save them.
If he raised his voice with the intention of rescuing them, he would only admit to the world that they had attacked the empire, and that would cause a lot of political problems. Obviously, the king of Badily knew that the empire must already know that they were behind this, but as long as he didn't admit it, nothing was certain.
