Chapter 8
A. Answer these questions.
77. Where does Rassendyll wait for it to be two o’clock?
He waits by the drawbridge gate next to the castle.
78. Rassendyll has asked Antoinette to cry for help at two o’clock. Why does she do it earlier?
Because she is being attacked by Rupert. He wants to punish her for writing to Rassendyll.
79. Why does Rassendyll kill De Gautet with a sword and not with a gun?
Because he doesn’t want to make any noise and attract other people.
80. How does Rassendyll get the keys to the King’s prison?
He takes them from De Gautet’s clothes after he kills him.
81. Who gets killed in the first room of the King’s prison? Who gets killed in the room where the King is? Who gets wounded?
Bersonin gets killed in the first room. In the room where the King is, the doctor is killed by Detchard, and Detchard is killed by Rassendyll. The King and Rassendyll are both wounded.
82. Why doesn’t the King fight Detchard directly? How does he help Rassendyll?
The King is weak from illness and in chains. He can’t move much because of the chains. He helps Rassendyll by pushing a chair into Detchard as he is fighting. (This makes him lose his balance and fall over the doctor’s body. Then it is easy for Rassendyll to kill him.)
7. Who kills the Duke?.Rupert Hentzau.
83. Why does Rupert ride away instead of fighting Rassendyll?
Because Fritz comes with a gun and Rupert knows he can’t fight both of them. (A gun can kill from a distance. Fritz can kill Rupert from a distance before Rupert can kill Rassendyll with a sword.)

84. How does the boy make a problem for Sapt, Fritz and Rassendyll? Why does Sapt tell the Princess to come alone to see the King behind the tree?
The boy runs out and says the King is behind the tree, but Strakencz and the Princess think that the King is in the castle. Sapt has a problem to explain this. He asks the Princess to come alone because he doesn’t want Marshal Strakenczto know about Rassendyll.
85. Why does Sapt have the real King taken from his prison with his face covered? What do Sapt’s men and the servants think happened to the King and to the prisoner? Why does Rassendyll wait in the forest until dark to go to the castle?
Sapt doesn’t want his men or the servants to see who the prisoner really is. They think that the King was wounded in the fight to rescue the prisoner, and that the prisoner went after Rupert Hentzau. Rassendyll waits until hecan go into the castle under the cover of dark. He doesn’t want anyone to see him.
86. How does Rassendyll teach the King how to be a real king?
He takes his responsibilities as King seriously and tries to run the country well. He risks his own life to rescue the King, could have remained King.
87. What does Rassendyll mean when he writes “Nobody knew where Rupert had disappeared to, and the thought of the man who had almost beaten me still makes my heart beat louder in my chest”?
It means when he thinks of Rupert he gets excited or angry. He wishes he could find him and fight him.
88. . Do you think Rassendyll was right to pretend to be the King for the coronation? Was he right to continue to pretend to be the King for so long?
89. . Why doesn’t Rassendyll remain the King? If he was a wiser and better ruler than the real King, would it be wrong for him to remain King?
90. What does Rassendyll learn from his adventures?
He learns responsibility, how to do the (morally) right thing.
