Capturing the saboteur was the best scenario the kingdom had gotten after the war had started. Elaina handed over the saboteur to the First Prince, and they handled the rest after Elaina extracted her own set of questions' answers. Due to the effects that Elaina had on the candy she fed on the Saboteur, after he was questioned, he revealed every single thing that was asked of him, no matter how hard he wanted to stay quiet.
As a result, the intel that the First Prince got from the Saboteur allowed him to uproot any betrayal that was about to happen. Thanks to the confession, the soldiers who were doing undercover on the army and also in the palace are all imprisoned. Like the saboteur, they were fed with Elaina's candy, and they all confessed to their treachery and their spy activities alongside the saboteur work they did on the food supply.
