Finding the proof 2

To find more evidence Ilse now needed to gain entry to the palace, and as it was founded on the old castle it was built to prevent access, so inside help was needed. Ilse did have a contact inside the castle, who could not be compromised, but did periodically leave the palace on business. Ilse found a location that gave a reasonable view of the servants exit and settled down for a long wait. A couple of hours later he emerged and headed off, as expected, towards the market. Ilse carefully followed at a distance, watching for any one else that might be following or observing him. Once he was in the market she waited until he was in conversation with a stall holder then simply walked past and slipped a message in a coat pocket.
