Éric
The opportunity I have been waiting for has finally arrived. When I heard from our informant about the party they were having at the castle to celebrate the little princess's birthday, I had the brilliant idea to infiltrate the ball and find out Lotus's plans for our kingdom. I was going to go in disguise, since the ball was in costume, my father, however, could not know anything, otherwise he would try to stop me.
- You are going crazy. - said my sister, when I told her my plans. - If they catch you, they'll kill you, and if they don't, our father will. Have you thought about the consequences?
- Ecna, by the gods! Don't you see that this is a great opportunity for us to discover the plans of those bastards?
- It's a very risky plan, Eric, think about it. If our father finds out...
- He will only find out if you tell him, sister.
- Of course I won't say anything. - she said offended.
- Then we have no problem here.
- You won't change your mind, will you? - she sighed, defeated.
- No, I won't.

Finally, the big day arrived, disguised as a pirate, I escaped in the dead of night, when everyone, including my father, was sleeping. I had left a horse prepared in order to facilitate the process, now all I needed to do was to get across the border without being noticed, to do this, I would need to create a distraction.
As I approached the border, I got off my horse in silence. In the distance, I could see the Lotus Kingdom guards positioned against any attack. Now, I just needed to distract them. Using the power of force, I moved some rocks that were on the opposite side from the guards, drawing their attention, with the noise and confusion, I mounted my horse again and took the opportunity to cross the boundary, when the guards ran to see what had happened.
