Nazir and the crew hugged the walls tightly as they crept around in the shadows of the Imperial Palace. Years of experience with assassinations rendered them insivible to the feeble eyes of the Imperial guards. It was hard to blame them for their incompence though, reflected the Redguard. Assassinations wasn't something you could train or prepare for.

Amaund Motierre would be a dead man tonight.

Belgarath had explained the layout of the Imperial Palace. On the bottom floor was the chambers of the Elder Council were they had their meetings in times of great distress. She reckoned that they would be holding a meeting there as soon as they found out that their Emperor had been assassinated.

The tower went on for several stories; barracks, the library where they once had kept all the Elder Scrolls, the chambers of the royal Battlemage and then the very chambers of the Emperor himself.

It would be quite a journey for them, but they had good faith and experience on their side. If something was to go wrong, they had no other choice but to continue onward. The exit would be barred and the only way out was to go through the Old Ways, spanning underneath the palace, but to reach them they had to go through the fireplace of the Emperor's chambers...

In other words: even if they were to be noticed, there was still a chance for them to succeed with the mission whilst running for the escape route...
