There were Dark Elf warriors currently investigating the end of the underground waterway connected to the palace as well as multiple other potential entrances throughout the capital.

�We should be able to get in through the underground waterways even if it is more difficult than going from above ground.�

Tasha made it sound like it wouldn�t be a big deal. However, Jopis did not look relieved.

��No. It will be difficult to use the underground waterways.�
�Excuse me?�

Jopis shook her head to disagree with Tasha.

�Elisneh. That bitch is probably guarding the underground waterways since she even blocked the royal family�s escape route.�

Another person covered in a robe approached them at that moment.
It was one of the Dark Elves who had gone to find an entrance into the underground waterways.

��Tasha-nim.�

His voice sounded grim.
He immediately continued to speak to Cale and Tasha.

�All entrances to the underground waterways on the roads throughout Renche are blocked.�
�What?�

Tasha asked in shock.

�Wait, then how do they go down to inspect the underground waterways?�
�All other entrances are fine except the ones connected to the palace.�

Jopis calmly started to speak as Tasha stood there in disbelief.

�They probably decided they didn�t need any entrances outside the palace because all inspections could start from the palace.�

Tasha�s expression stiffened.
She realized that Elisneh the First had thoroughly blocked all paths heading into the palace.

�In that case, the end of the underground waterway will not be normal either.�

The end of the underground waterways where the water used from the palace flowed out�
That spot connected to the river.

�Young master-nim.�

Another Dark Elf returned after completing his investigation. Cale and the others had been waiting for his report. It was because he was the one who had gone to check the end of the waterway.

�There are knights guarding the end of the waterway.�
�As expected.� JrNovels.com
