Last Chapter (MTW and RTW)
The plans of maritime expansion went well under the Venetian for almost a decade, until the Holy Roman Emperor became interested in allying Portug-- The Luso-Egyptian Kingdom.
For the Venetian's bad luck, the Empire was at war with Venice and judged him a spy.
Peres never finished reading the book. He died. But many years after he stopped reading - the book had gotten boring.
Peres and King Henrique met again in the cloudy kingdom of Heaven.
However, God told them that only one of the two could enter Paradise, due to their war against fellow christians - the Castillians.
Peres was quick to betray his King, as usual, and pushed Henrique into Hell. But when Peres was about to enter Heaven, someone pushed
him into Hell and entered in his place. Who could this man be, who is even more disloyal than Peres?
Here comes Aqhat the Turncoat!
King Henrique did not achieve his dream of sitting in a golden throne in the Heavens. Instead, his punishment in Hell was to be eternally advised by Peres.
God did not see this - He was busy smiting witches, who claimed to be descendants of an ancient pagan called Retokenes.
Chieftain Ditalkos hunted down the spy Retokenes in an epic journey, involving Baktrians in Tolosa, spears of pure gold, alexandric generals and much, much wine.
Hic!
Ditalkos did manage to cut off the head of Retokenes the liar, who had caused the death of his son, but the head uttered words of witchery and disappeared.
Bandue, bandua, bandui banda!
Back to the future, Princess Mécia inherited the Duchy of Algarve from her husband, Peres Correia. She then married Lord da Maia and had a son. They named him Peres.
Lord da Maia was imprisoned in Cordoba once again, after the return of the Almoravids, who took advantage of the King's madness.
Without the advices of Peres and the maritime skills of the Venetian, King Henrique II saw his Luso-Egyptian Kingdom fall to the betrayers of the Holy Roman Empire, who supported the great peasant rebellion of Raimundo Peres Correia. King Henrique II managed to escape in one of the merchant Portuguese ships. He ended up in the port of Alexandria.
But this isn't in some old History book. This is not your past. This is not your mirror.
Unless you read it right.
