The carriage starts moving again, towards the main gate of the Western fortress.

“Good! If you don’t alert the guards, you’ll be able to leave before anything starts.
If you pull anything, we’ll make sure you’re the first to die.” Pat whispers to the merchant

“Hello” Guard A

“Next!” Guard B

“What’s inside?” Guard A

“Wheat, salt, and dried meat.” Merchant

“Check the inside!” Guard B

“Checking!” Guard C

The merchant was thinking if the guard discovered the person hiding in the wagon, he maybe could get away in the confusion, but that wouldn’t happen.

“Everything is normal! You can continue!” Guard C

It seems the merchant’s expectations were shattered.
He proceeds slowly into the fortress.

“Ok, you three are going to offload the supplies, then leave the fortress and let this guy go.” Pat

“Do you think you’re in any danger?” Corporal Mirko

“A single person can hide much better than four people.” Pat

“Makes sense” Corporal Mirko

“Keep an eagle eye on this guy to make sure he doesn’t try anything on the way out.” Pat

“I got it” Corporal Mirko

“Then, it’s time for my acting performance” Pat
