Run

You bolt. No shame in running, right? we all need to get our cardio in somehow! Low branches scratch your ears as you scramble down the path. Whatever was behind you, you don't hear it now. As you slow your run to a jog and look behind you, it looks like you're in the clear. Soon, you see the castle! It's not huge, definitely not the castle of a king. Perhaps it's the castle of a duke, a patrician, or even a viscount. You come to a halt in front of the imposing, solid wood doors. If they're barred, there's definitely no way you're opening them yourself.
