If you try to enter the castle before meeting Marle, you will be turned away at the door. Afterward, you'll instead be arrested and put on trial. Grand!
Regardless of the outcome of the trial, Crono will end up in Prison. However, if you want to be declared innocent, the key lies in your actions after meeting Marle in Leene Square, and telling the truth about them. It doesn't really matter, but it's good to be on the right side of the law (corrupt officials notwithstanding).
Much later, after you've found the Rainbow Shell, the King will be put on trial. Put Marle in your party and approach the courtroom. Once you're thrown out, head to the rightmost basement. The Monsters here are straight out of the Cathedral, so they are no threat to you. Once you find the Rainbow Shell, head back to the courtroom.
Yakra XIII is a pretty straightforward Boss who can cause Chaos. By now you should have plenty of status protection, so use it. Charm the White Mail from him and keep your health up, and he will fall in time.
After the fight, Melchior will show up and make you either a PrismDress or three Prism Helms. If you've already retrieved the Sun Stone, he'll also make Crono's most powerful Weapon, the Rainbow, as well as the awesome PrismSpecs.
