Chapter 14 by Caesar25 Caesar25

What's next?

Accept the mission

Lily: I will do it, but make sure, I will not get killed!

Henri: I will do my best to avoid that, for my sake. That is the most I can promise.

Lily: Wonderful...

You agree on the time when you have to act tonight. He lends you the key to the treasury. At that point, you don't even care to ask how he had gotten it... Maybe you could find a disguise somehow... Like someone's clothes who is so morally unquestionable like a servant of god. But are you pious enough to get such clothes?

{if Piety < 5}No, you aren't, so you have to come up with something else along the way...{endif}

{if Piety > 4}You come up with a plan that might work... You visit the priest of the castle to borrow the clothes of a nun. You have been known as a very pious woman, the priest is an old acquaintance of Father Constantinus, so he gives you the clothes without too many questions. You disguise yourself and move to your agreed position.{endif}

When to time arrives you stand ready, hiding behind a door, close to the treasure room. You hear a man shouting insults at one of the king's man, which he answers by drawing his sword and charging at the insulting man. They are both accompanied by some other men and they crack down at the hallway, leaving the vicinity of the treasury desolated. You use your opportunity and run to the door. The key fits and the door is open. You enter and close it behind you. You see uncountable amount of gold and treasures inside. If only you had the hundredth of it, you would never have to worry about the yearly arrival of the tax collector! But you have little time to observe the massive wealth. You have to look for the Diamond of Discordia, that Henri mentioned. Ha gave you details about the appearance of the diamond you are looking for... You find it, just next to the crown. It is a really big diamond, now you understand why Henri wants it! But there is no time wander around, you have to get out of there right now! You make your way towards the door and listen whether the guards are back... You hear nothing, so you open the door to take a peek. You find the whole corridor still empty, so you leave and close the door behind you. Henri told you to leave the key in the lock, so should the king's men try to find it at his room, they would find no evidence of the theft there.

You move with quick steps on the one-way corridor, when you hear the guards returning just your way... You can not evade them, what should you do now? They will find the diamond on you and have you executed! Are you strong enough to defeat them? Or do you have any other alternatives to get past the guards without them finding the diamond? {if Piety > 4}Maybe simply just walk past them, they wouldn't dare to strip search a nun, would they?{endif}
