Vzpomínky na jejich předky mu ležely v srdci jako zlatý poklad, který musí chránit.En: Being older and more thoughtful, memories of their ancestors lay in his heart like a golden treasure he felt he must protect.Cs: "Musíme zjistit, kdo byli naši předkové," trvala na svém Petra.En: "We have to find out who our ancestors were," Petra insisted.Cs: "Třeba tady najdeme něco úžasného!"En: "Maybe we'll find something amazing here!"Cs: Ladislav věděl, že jsou jejich cíle odlišné.En: Ladislav knew their goals were different.Cs: Zatímco on chtěl prozkoumat rodinnou historii bez narušení klidu hradu, Petra hledala vzrušení a dávno zapomenuté tajemství.En: While he wanted to explore family history without disturbing the peace of the castle, Petra sought excitement and long-lost secrets.Cs: Šli po kamenné chodbě, kde prach šustil pod jejich kroky.En: They walked down a stone hallway, where dust whispered beneath their steps.Cs: Cílem bylo navštívit knihovnu, doufali, že tam najdou staré dokumenty.En: Their goal was to visit the library, hoping to find old documents there.Cs: Ale byl tu problém. Hradní zaměstnanci byli přísní, neradi viděli, když se někdo hrabal ve starožitnostech.En: But there was a problem. The castle staff was strict and did not like anyone rummaging through the antiques.Cs: "Láďo, co je za tou tapiserií?" Petra narazila na tmavý gobelín visící v rohu chodby.En: "Láďa, what's behind that tapestry?" Petra came upon a dark tapestry hanging in the corner of the hallway.Cs: Ve světle slunce se zdál nezajímavý, ale Petru prýštící zvědavost nenechala na pokoji.En: In the sunlight, it seemed unremarkable, but Petra's overflowing curiosity couldn't be contained.Cs: "Je to jen kousek látky. Pojď pryč," varoval ji Ladislav.En: "It's just a piece of cloth. Come away," Ladislav warned her.Cs: Petra však neposlouchala. Zvedla roh tapiserie a za ní se ukázala skrytá dvířka.En: But Petra didn't listen. She lifted the corner of the tapestry to reveal a hidden door.Cs: "Je tu něco! Musíme se podívat!"En: "There's something here! We have to take a look!"Cs: "Děláš si srandu?" Ladislav si povzdechl, uvědomujíc si, že sestru nikdy neodradí.En: "Are you kidding?"
