Rassendyll overheard Rupert telling de Mauban that Black Michael wanted more than just the princess and planned to take everything. Black Michael later told Rupert that he could kill him just as he would the king. When Rassendyll entered the king's room, he found Detchard had killed the doctor but slipped in the blood, allowing Rassendyll to kill Detchard with his sword. Rassendyll's original plan was interrupted when Rupert visited the princess early, causing a fight between Michael and Rupert that engaged Michael's servants and prevented the gate from being opened.

Rassendyll said that to himself in the moat when Rassendyll was watching Rupert and de Mauban in the room. Rupert was telling de Mauban that the princess wasn’t enough for Black Michael or he wanted to take everything. He meant that Rupert came earlier that the time expected and that would change the plan.
2. “The moat can hold more than the King.”
Black Micheal said that to Rupert in Michael’s room when Rupert went to the room and told her that Michael promised him to take her if he cut Rassendyll’s throat. Michael came to his room and saw him. He meant that he could kill him as he’d do with the king.
3. How had Detchard prepared for this destruction?
When he killed the doctor he stepped in the blood flowing from the dead doctor. He slipped and fell and before he could stand again Rassendyll drove his point through his neck. Detchard fell heavily across the body of the loyal doctor.
4. How was the king saved?
When Rassendyll entered the room, he saw the king standing in the corner of the room. The doctor had thrown himself on Detchard. Detchard killed him and stepped in his blood, so Rassendyll killed him.
5. How was Rassendyll’s plan changed?
When Rupert visited Antoinette’s room earlier than what Rassendyll had expected, she shouted. Michael had a fight with Rupert so his servants included Johann went to help their master, so Johann wouldn’t be able to open the gate of the castle. Rassendyll killed De Gautet and took the keys. He could reach the king’s room and save him.
