Reading Skills

I have come across some interesting text in the end of chapter 7 of "The False Prince". Sage is told to get a bath by Mr. Conner before he comes to dinner and his servant takes Sage to the guest room bathroom. Sage tells the servant that it will be a while and he can take a break. This made me wonder if he is trying to get away from the servant. Then he try's to find a lock for the door but he can't find a lock for the door so he gets a metal chain to keep the door closed. This made me think what is trying to do, I think he might be trying to get away from every one but I don't see how locking himself in a room would help. Although as I kept reading the author described the setting in more detail. I realized there was a widow with a stone ledge leading around the house and I assumed he would try to climb onto it. When I finished the chapter, Sage had begun to climb on to the ledge to get out of the house while the door was chained closed. Because of his actions I assume that Sage will escape and then try to run away to a random orphanage or anywhere he can find shelter.
