(Patience, young one.)

What the Adamantine Renegades' scouts couldn't spot, however, was that while the outer city walls were indeed being guarded by Noleon's new recruits, the castle itself was being guarded by guards sent from the nearby settlements. Glenpoint, Anticlere and Wessen Hills all donated a portion of their guard to Daggerfall to bolster their defenses.

The added security made Arielle's job more difficult, but she still managed to map the paterns in the guard patrols for the castle and the surrounding area.

She decided that tonight was going to be the moment to strike and set out from the inn where she was staying and traversed the city, using the alleys to avoid the guards. The city guards only patrolled the main roads and the walls, so it wasn't too hard for her to get past them unnoticed.

The challenge came when she approached the castle. She had to wait nearly half an hour until the patrols synced up correctly. She then came out of hiding and scaled the side of the wall using a grapling hook and rope that she had prepared. Once atop the battlements, she hid and let the guards that were approaching pass. After they were gone she continued towards the main keep of the castle. The princess had already decided the place where she was going to infiltrate, a room located not far from the High King's that was currently vacant. She wouldn't need to worry about anyone catching her as she broke in.

When she was close to the window of the room she jumped from the battlements and grabbed onto the side of the castle keep. She cautiously climbed up to the window and broke the glass with her elbow. She then unlocked it and opened the window. As she got inside and looked around at the vacant room she noticed some armors and weapons around. It was a bedroom, seemingly one of a knight, but he was not there.

This has been rather easy...I'd expect the High King to have better guards. She thought. She moved towards the door to slip into the hallway, but as she grabbed the handle she heard.

"My my my, haven't you made it far into the castle." A male voice said.

It was right behind her. ''How didn't I see him? ''She questioned herself.

"So, why are you here little mouse?" He asked.

She could feel the tip of a dagger at her back. She knew that she needed to act fast. She quickly grabbed the dagger on her boot and tried to stab the man's leg.

The man, however, jumped back, avoiding the attack.

Arielle got up and turned around, pulling out her Rapier. She saw him now, a Bosmer with a grin on his face.

"I see, so you are certainly an assassin. I won't go easy on you girl, I just can't let you go any further. I'd risk not only my job but my reputation as a spy." Sylch said.
