The two slowly approached the grand building. They had expected getting inside to take some effort. With walls and cannons, it clearly was not meant to let them in easily.
But unexpectedly, although there were cannons, no one operated them. The walls were high, but no one guarded them. Finding a gap was quite simple.
Schiller had a feeling there had originally been guards here. The walls were clearly designed with places for sentries to stand watch. If there had never been guards, they would not have been built this way. So where had the guards gone?
