Dora skipped alongside Uncle Robert, her innocent chatter filling the air as they moved through the garden. "Uncle Robert, do you think Daddy has a surprise for me? Dora asked, her eyes shining with anticipation.
Robert managed a weak smile, unsure of how to respond and answered, "Well, Princess Dora, your father will explain everything when we see him."

He could feel himself sweating and was wary of even the smallest sound. This was his last mission. Once Dora had been delivered to Alpin, he'd take the first flight out of Estania. He patted his pocket, making sure his documents were still safe. He would be gone from here in a few hours.
