Chapter 209 - The Queen’s True Goal (2) (2/2)

I paid attention to the way we were going and memorized the inner and outer layout of this palace. This will help me plan an easier way when I return here secretly.

At the entrance of the west wing, I saw six guards were stationed. They stood upright by the time they saw us coming.

”Greetings to the moon of the empire. Glory to the queen of Jennovia.” The guards greeted in unison and saluted.

”At ease.” My aunt said.

We passed by the guards easily. As I remember the first time I went astray over this place, the guards halted me and told me that the west wing were off limits. Now I know that this part was the personal space of my aunt the queen and guarded heavily.

'Isn't having six guards guarding the entrance a bit too much?' I thought when I first went astray here. Now I know why this place was heavily guarded.

I looked back at Jack who was following behind me, and our eyes met.

'Jack.' I tried to reach him telepathically.

My mind abilities have enhanced since the time I started entering my mother's inner consciousness. For now I can only have telepathic communication with people of Atlantian linage mainly those with magic abilities. I tried telepathically communicating to William but still to no avail.

'Yes princess?' Jack replied in no time.

'Have you been in this part of the palace before?' I asked.

'No, princess. Like you, this is my first time coming here.' Jack said. 'By the looks of it, this place is heavily guarded. Not only that, there are many magic traps around.'

'Magic traps?!' I was surprised with Jack's words.

'If you look closely, you can see magic symbols on the wall that cannot be seen by normal people.' Jack said. 'Try to concentrate princess and you will also see it.'

I tried what Jack said and concentrated my magic in my eyes. And like what Jack said, there were magic circles and symbols on the walls.

'What are these?' I asked.

'I only saw these magic circles in my father's books and research journals. And like I said they are magic traps.' Jack explained. 'It is not activated now because we are walking with the queen. Meaning we were granted permission to enter. But I am afraid if someone breaks in, these magic circles will activate.'

I looked around the corridor, the walls and also the floors have these circles invisibly engraved on them.

'Jack, please try and memorize their position and analyze them for now. We might need to break in here in the near future.' I said.

Jack made a sigh and smiled. 'Haha you are surely brave princess. I will see what I can do.'

I am determined to get that other half of the pendant no matter what it takes.
