What if we go see that part of the palace that the guide didn't mention?" Joana suggested, pointing to an area surrounded by tall trees.Pt: Miguel hesitou, olhou para o grupo que seguia o guia.En: Miguel hesitated and looked at the group following the guide.Pt: “Não deveríamos. Podemos nos perder ou meter em encrenca,” respondeu Miguel, preocupado.En: "We shouldn't. We could get lost or get into trouble," Miguel replied, worried.Pt: Joana, com seu espírito aventureiro, insistiu: “Pode ser uma descoberta incrível!”En: Joana, with her adventurous spirit, insisted, "It could be an amazing discovery!"Pt: Os pés de Miguel pararam momentaneamente, pensando.En: Miguel's feet paused momentarily, thinking.Pt: Ele olhou para Joana, cuja excitação era quase contagiante.En: He looked at Joana, whose excitement was almost contagious.Pt: “Está bem, mas só um rápido olhar,” cedeu Miguel, tentando equilibrar a aventura e a responsabilidade.En: "Okay, but just a quick look," Miguel conceded, trying to balance adventure and responsibility.Pt: Os dois desviaram do grupo, atravessando por entre arbustos até chegarem perto das paredes antigas do palácio.En: The two veered off from the group, making their way through the bushes until they reached the old walls of the palace.Pt: O ar estava perfumado com o cheiro de flores silvestres.En: The air was scented with the smell of wildflowers.Pt: De repente, Joana avistou algo que parecia um arco disfarçado entre as pedras.En: Suddenly, Joana spotted something that looked like an arch disguised among the stones.Pt: Era uma passagem escondida.En: It was a hidden passage.Pt: Com cuidado, eles se esgueiraram para dentro.En: Carefully, they slipped inside.Pt: A luz do sol filtrava-se pelas janelas pequenas, iluminando tapetes empoeirados e paredes cobertas de tapeçarias antigas.En: Sunlight filtered through small windows, illuminating dusty rugs and walls covered in ancient tapestries.Pt: “Uau, este lugar é incrível!” sussurrou Joana, encantada.En: "Wow, this place is amazing!" Joana whispered, enchanted.Pt: Miguel lentamente começou a relaxar, observando ao redor.En: Miguel slowly began to relax, observing around.Pt: “É bonito... mas devemos voltar,” ele aconselhou, já olhando para a saída.En: "It is beautiful... but we should go back," he advised, already looking for the exit.Pt: Subitamente, o som de passos distantes ecoou nos corredores.En: Suddenly, the sound of distant footsteps echoed in the corridors.Pt: Os dois congelaram, olhos arregalados.En: They both froze, eyes wide.Pt: “Alguém está vindo!” disse Miguel, o medo misturado com adrenalina.En: "Someone's coming!"
