Chapter 1212: Chapter 1212:- 3rd Challenge – Find Location of Alen and Elena [II]

Rin followed the female servants and quickly disappeared from Aditya and Roy’s sight. Before separating, the three had already agreed to meet at a specific location once Rin had learned anything useful about where Aditya’s parents were being kept.

As for Aditya, he continued walking around the Imperial Royal Palace with Roy. However, sightseeing was not his true purpose.

Aditya deliberately used Roy’s presence to move closer to the outer walls of the Imperial Royal Palace without attracting suspicion. Whenever guards passed nearby, the two casually talked about the palace and its surroundings, making it appear as though Roy was simply showing his distant relative around.

Eventually, Aditya found the opportunity he had been waiting for. When no guards or servants were watching, he quietly crouched near one of the walls and swiftly dug a small hole in the ground. The opening was only about the size of his head, making it small enough to avoid attracting attention.

Aditya then took out a strange bead roughly the size of his fist. Without wasting even a second, he placed the bead inside the hole before covering it with the soil he had just dug out. He carefully restored the surface as much as possible so that anyone casually passing through the area would have no reason to notice that something had been buried there.

Once he finished, Aditya calmly stood up and continued walking beside Roy as though nothing had happened.

For the next several minutes, the two continued wandering through different areas of the Imperial Royal Palace. They occasionally stopped to look at certain buildings while casually discussing the palace.

At least, that was the impression they deliberately gave to everyone watching them. Patrolling guards regularly appeared and disappeared around them as they continued their routine patrols. Whenever they encountered Roy, they either greeted the former Prime Minister respectfully or simply acknowledged him before continuing on their way.

Nothing about Aditya and Roy’s behavior appeared suspicious. Around twenty-five minutes after separating from them, Rin finally returned. Judging from the expression on her face, she had brought very good news.

The moment Rin returned, she immediately approached Aditya and Roy. From the look on her face, Aditya already knew that she had managed to find something useful.

“I had to question a lot of people and put quite a few of them under my charm, but I finally found out where your parents are being kept.” Rin said in a low voice.

Aditya’s expression immediately became serious. At the same time, he was relieved that within 25 minutes his woman was able to accomplish this difficult task.

“They’re still inside their own bedroom.” Hearing this, Aditya felt slightly relieved. At the very least, his parents had not been moved into some hidden underground prison or another secret location within the Imperial Royal Palace.

However, Rin was not finished. “But there is a problem. No ordinary servant is allowed to enter their bedroom. There is only one servant who is permitted to personally bring their daily meals inside, and she was specifically chosen by your cousin.”

“She isn’t merely a servant either. She also acts as their guard. She remains stationed directly outside the bedroom door twenty-four hours a day. From what I learned, she practically never leaves her position.”

“Twenty-four hours?” Roy asked with a frown.

Rin nodded. “Once every week, someone else comes to replace her. Only then does she leave and take a few days of rest before returning. This arrangement has apparently been in place for months, ever since Ren became the Emperor.”

Rin paused briefly before adding another important detail. “And it isn’t only their bedroom that is restricted. No other servants are even allowed to approach the main residence where your parents are staying. The entire area is essentially isolated from the rest of the Imperial Royal Palace.”

Aditya became silent as he processed everything she had learned.

This confirmed two important things. His parents were exactly where he had originally suspected they might be, but reaching them would be far more difficult than simply walking to their bedroom.
