Re: The Palace in Milath, home of Empress Sidi
It didn't take Shigure long to make her way to the Palace from the marketplace. She hadn't changed yet, still wearing her black corset and skirt. She decided it would certainly take some getting used to, too much time. The new clothes that the old man bought her she carried in a sack over her shoulder.
She arrived at the palace and walked around the walls frowning to herself as she contemplated exactly how she was going to get in. She soon found a section of wall that she was confidant in climbing. Throwing her sack over the wall first she grabs ahold of what small cracks she could find and pulls herself up and over landing steadily on her feet on the other side.
She crouches down against the wall, looking around to see if anyone noticed her. She shrugs as it appears she chose a lucky time to breach the palace. She grins to herself, she was sure the old man was here somewhere, sure that they'd be understanding when he explained herself. Picking up her sack she runs over to the palace, avoiding the guards she saw.
Slipping in through a window left ajar Shigure finds herself inside a kitchen, again lucky enough to have nobody around. Her eyes widen and she runs over to a tray of cooked pastries lying on the counter. Looking around briefly she begins to eat one, moaning in pleasure at eating such fine foods.
After her brief stint in the kitchen and full from a half-dozen pastries Shigure decides to take a look around. The guards inside the palace were a fair bit more alert than the ones outside, but after much ducking and weaving she finally made it upstairs. The sleeping quarters was what she was after, she was positive the man was royalty, perhaps an Uncle of the Princess.
Hallways later she finds herself before a regal looking door, again with no guards nearby. She narrows her eyes suspiciously as she looks through the keyhole, nobody inside as well. She lifts her head quickly as she hears approaching footsteps, turning the handle she slips inside the room just as a couple of guards turn the corner and stop directly in front of the door to the room she was in. Sighing to herself she turns and has a look about the room.
