The Secret Passage 1

Then the King decided that the prisoner with the highest sentence in the kingdom be brought before him. Strapped with several ropes around his waist and shoulders and equipped with a torch, he would be lowered into the void. This is how the King would know the mysteries of the cave by the explanations that the prisoner would give him when he was rescued. The prisoner was brought before the Monarch. The prisoner, frightened, expressed himself in an unknown language and did not understand what was happening. No one knew where he came from or what crime he had committed to deserve such a harsh sentence.

El pasaje secreto 1

Entonces el Rey decidió que llevaran ante su presencia al prisionero con la condena más alta del reino. Sujeto con varias cuerdas alrededor de su cintura y hombros y equipado con una antorcha, se le haría descender al vacío. Así conocería el Rey los misterios de la cueva por las explicaciones que le daría el prisionero cuando fuera rescatado. Llevaron al prisionero ante el Monarca. El preso, asustado, se expresó en un idioma desconocido y no entendía lo que estaba pasando. Nadie sabía de dónde venía ni qué delito había cometido para merecer tan dura sentencia.
