"Hopefully I wont but I will take all I can get...just in case."<br/><br/>That night Raoul secured what he would need to his belt and proceeded to sneak stealthily into the castle.  Guards were patrolling in the main corridors but no more than normal.  He worked his way into the servants hallways knowing he would be less apt to run into anyone there and used it as a behind the scenes labyrinth to check the castle from odd, usually unobserved, angles.  in a few places it seemed as if the guards were heavier mainly around the throne room and treasury...that would do no good...he would need to know how to access the inside of the throne room and so decided to check the secret passage located in the library that led to there...he doubted his father even knew of the passage.  He moved quickly and quietly to the large cavernous room full of books.  he made his way over to a large statue and dressed it's head to trigger the swinging hinges.  Luckily it opened without making to much noise and he slipped inside.  What he did not expect however was the guard at the end of the hallway with a malevolent glint to his eyes "the king thought you might show up here" he said right before knocking him out with the but of his sword.
