The servants sprang into action. They didn’t know every inch of the castle, but they certainly knew the fastest and stealthiest routes to get about without being detected by other members of the household. If there was a siege, the castle wouldn’t hold up at all owing to the number of hollow tunnels carved in between each wall. Everyone would want breakfast which would be served in the dining room, but each bedroom would require morning refreshment, especially the guests. With the guards not being around it would make things easier but they were still behind. They wondered what the cause was and what kind of punishment would be in store for those responsible. But the priority was to complete the investigation before reporting to the guests. In the meantime, a runner was sent to inform the royal party to apologise for the delay and to remain in their quarters for their own safety while the castle was being investigated.
