Chapter 9 - Stuck

I climbed up to the rooftop, trying to stay as quiet as possible. The ledges were very thin, but I managed to get on top. 

More knights flooded into the Manor. A sheriff came in and interviewed the Baron's mother. 

I faintly heard their voices at the entrance of the manor but couldn't make out what they were saying. The one thing I knew is that she couldn't see me very well as it was really dark during lights out.

 The highest roof of the manor was flat, so I could lie down comfortably. 

I would be well hidden in the night time, but I had to go somewhere else in the day time. 

The rewards for killing the Baron couldn't even be claimed yet as I had to go find Clarice. 

Knights started abandoning the manor and went into the forest behind it. Other knights went into the city to search. 

It wasn't a very good situation. 

A few hours passed and the sun started rising. 

I developed a plan to escape during the night. 

Knights still surrounded the palace so I needed a way to distract them. 

'This is really risky,' I thought, looking at the sunrise. 'But I have no other choice.'
