Almost before Deollyn had hit the floor, Legolas was on his feet. Shading his eyes, he looked in the direction that the bolt had come from.

The only way it could have struck the man at that angle would have been for it to be descending from high above. The only place in the right direction and of the right height was the palace. The palace towers to be exact. He stiffened.

The man trying to kill Aragorn was in his own home, perhaps on his payroll. In the palace core, something was rotten.

With a shout to Sam not to wait for him, he began to run. Most of the court had been watching the battle. Few of the servants had the training to use a crossbow. He would probably be to late to catch the killer, but he could at least try.
