When Sapt finished talking, the King laughed and welcomed Rudolf saying that itwas not every day that you see your double. When Rassendyll told the King that he was going to Strelsau for the coronation, the King laughed loudly and asked what his brother Michael would think if he saw them together.

It was about one otlock in the morning when Rassendyll heard a loud noise from the mansion. It was Antoinette de Mauban crying for help. This was exactly what Rassendyi had asked her to say in his message to her, but it was around an hour too early, before Sapt and the others reached the front door to the mansion, and before Johann had time to open it. i Then Antoinette called again. This time she said it was Rupert Hentzau who was, in her room. Michael ran to her room with his servants. | Rupert said that he wanted to punish her as she was writing letters to Rassendyll, | Michael said that he couldn't punish her as she was his guest. Rassendyll could hear a noisy sword fight in the room. He saw Rupert striking his sword at Johann calling him Rassendyll’s spy. The next moment Rassendyll heard a cry and Rupert jumped out of the window and down into the moat below, where he swam away. Saving the lal at A minute later, De Gautet appeared in front of Rassendyll who struck him with his sword and he fell to the ground. Quickly Rassendyll looked through his clothes: for the keys: there were three. Rassendyll could enter the room where the King was being kept prisoner. When he opened the first door, he found himself at the top of some steps which led into a cold, dark room. Rassendylll heard voices behind the second door where the King was kept. Itwas Detchard wondering whether they should kill the King or not. Suddenly Bersonin: appeared in front of Rassendyll. Rassendyll struck him with his sword Detchard closed the door fast. As he was alone in the room with the King, Rassendyll knew the King was in real danger. So he quickly unlocked the doot of the second room with one of the keys he took from De Gautet, Detchard was being held by the King’s doctor. The King, weak from iliness and chained in one corner, looked on in fear. The doctor was too weak to hold Detchard for long, and Detchard broke free and killed the poor doctor with his sword. 9 CamScanner + 95 4>suaall td jenn antoine pate ha nce gail sapt al rransion. and aso | Ruper swam to Rasse Rupert Yok his Rass hesave Mice y Att teh‘The Prisoner of Zenda petchard and Ra ssendyl avordsman than him coe DeG2" @ sword fight Dechard was a much better re King movea ego ecet asseni onthe a achair into Detch; Ip Rassendyll, He reached forward and pushed the legs of ards boa and pushed the legs This made him lose sheKing hard with his Meare and fall over the doctor’s body.
