William

Takes out a notebook, writing down how many casualties he suffered while they were getting to the top of the mountains One of the soldiers ran up to him Soldier: Prince! There are people! There are people standing on the hill! William quickly got to his feet and followed the knight they finally found the mountain men but they were standing at a distance from them the mountain men standing on the hill just silently watched the prince and his squad**The prince took a step forward We come in peace! We are here to negotiate!

William was the second son of the king, he could not take the throne because the throne belonged to his older brother the crown prince, William was a very hard-working man always tried to be the best in everything he was very curious always observed etiquette and never directly rude to anyone, his passion was to write poetry and stories and write in his diary when he learned something new or something interesting, when he grew up he went through the war leading a squad and returned as a hero, but his father the King sent him on a mission to negotiate with the mountain people, that's what they called them, taking the knights they went to look for the mountain people practically without knowing the way since the mountain people were nomads wandering through the mountains and finding them was almost impossible considering how the knights were not adapted to the terrible cold climate where there was no normal game, while they were climbing the mountain they lost many soldiers who froze to death or died of hunger, finally they stopped in a steppe clearing to rest The mountain people were mysterious, few knew about them, no one had ever crossed paths with them, none of the other kings had ever negotiated with them, and even if they were somehow miraculously found, they never even heard a word from them, but it was clear that the mountain people were not interested in negotiations, no one heard them talk, rumors began to circulate that all the mountain people were mute and communicated in sign language, or that they did not like to talk also no one saw their faces because of the animal masks that they always wear without taking them off, so people came up with different images for them, they even made a story out of them for children that mountain people are spirits
