I groaned as I hiked up the tall mountain. I decided to go an alternate route for a few reasons. One, the border between the Sanki Kingdom and the Imperial Kingdom were filled with soldiers. I couldn't sneak out nor could I sneak in. In fact, the entire border along the Sanki Kingdom was heavily guarded.
I had to find another route that wouldn't be as obvious. Luckily, that stupid grandfather of mine had researched all of this beforehand. Of course, he had kept it a secret from almost everyone. Those who knew were dead, so I didn't have to worry about anyone else knowing about the secret path my grandfather had discovered. When I turned him in for treason, I nicely left out the hidden path between kingdoms. I like to plan for all possibilities after all.
