Chapter 193 The Aftermath (2/2)

After looking around and seeing no one but William, Jack and I, I stopped.

”What happened back there?” I asked him curiously. ”That other set of explosions wasn't your doing right?

”Of course not princess. Why would you ever doubt a very honest person like me?” Jack said. ”I am sure it was because of the magic stones. The stones are not like ordinary rocks or stones. They have chemical compounds that are very complicated to my comprehension. But I am sure that after contact with fire, it became an explosive in its own manner. I cannot give you a definite reasons but my father might give you more details about this.”

I listened to Jack's words carefully. He might know that the magic stones have a different set of chemical compounds but he didn't know the reaction of it to fire and would become an explosive.

”Please don't misunderstand. I am not blaming you for that big explosion. I just wanted to know what really happened.” I looked at Jack apologetically. ”I would blame myself for my ignorance if things got out of hand and many got hurt.

”I understand princess. Don't worry, I would also blame myself if someone got severely injured or died out there.” Jack said while patting my head and dispelling my worries. ”I am just thankful that I was able to save the little princess in time. She strayed near the burning floors and nearly got squashed by a burning bookshelf that was falling. Fortunately I was there in time but she lost consciousness after thanking me for saving her.”

”So, what will we do now after this incident?” William asked.

”I am sure the queen will be vigilant after what happened to the secret room. That was where most of the useful information was gathered. She would be furious and would investigate this incident.” I said. ”But we didn't leave any traces so we should be fine. By the way Jack, when would be the soonest I can meet your father Mr. George Wilson?” I asked Jack.

”I will send out word to my Crimson Bandits to search for his whereabouts and send word that you would like to meet him. Maybe give me at least about a month.” Jack said while cupping his chin in thought. ”The continent is vast and my father doesn't stay at one place too long so searching for him would take time.”

”I understand. What's important is that I can be able to meet him.” I said.

”I understand.” Jack nodded.

”Princess… Princess Alicia.” I heard Martha's worried voice at a distance.

”We better head back Alicia.” William said.

”Okay.” I agreed and the three of us walked back to where the people were gathered.

I looked around the people that safely got out of the library building safely and sighed in relief. Even though this people are Jennovian, they are innocent from their queen's schemes. I need to get their hearts and let them see what the true colors of their Queen Patricia.
