Octavius felt a little out of place as he neared the palace. Everyone here was so elegant and clothed in the finest garments. He was clothed in peasant cloths at best. He was sweaty and smelled of the stables. He was dirty from his hard work and was sure they'd not take kindly to the likes of him at the palace. He slowly turned and left heading around the side of the palace. He walked along the tall wall and array of plants. He looked up at the wall as he observed the palace. He wasn't sure witch room was Alis but he had a feeling it wouldn't be hard to find once he was over the wall. He scanned the wall and found a section where a few stones stuck out from the wall just enough to graphs. He knew the guards where busy on the other side of the palace.

Octavius closed his eyes as he took a breath. Suddenly his eyes flashed open as he started to run forward. He leaped up and grasped onto the first stone then the new until he was over the wall. He quickly leaped from the top of the wall and vanished into some of the tall trees. There he sat as he peered into the palace. He couldn't see much due to the distance he was away. He slowly scaled down the trees and crawled to the bushes closer to the palace. He looked from window to window door to door until suddenly he jump. Cold water hit him making him forget looking for Alis's room. A very unhappy maid stared at him as she reached out and grabbed his ear twisting it as she turned with him heading up the palace steps. " Your the oddest plant I've ever seen. You can explain to the King the meaning of this boy. Hiding in the bushes like a animal. Your parents should be ashamed."
