Chapter 210 - The Other Half of the Pendant (1) (1/2)

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.

After some walking and a few left and right turns along the corridor, we arrived and stood in front of a hue double door. Judging by the size of the door and also the guards standing outside, the room inside must be huge and it stores important or valuable things.

”Greetings to the moon of Jennovia..” The guards bend down on one knee in the presence of the queen. ”All hail your majesty the queen.”

”At ease.” Aunt Patricia said with a calm voice. ”Only I and my niece, Princess Alicia may enter. All of you will wait for us here.” She announced.

With this, the guards will let me through and go inside the room with my aunt. The guards saluted and resumed their stance in guarding the door.

”Alicia, let's go inside.” Aunt Patricia looked at me with a warm smile. She opened the double doors just enough for the two of us to enter and led me inside the room.

Once inside my eyes were blinded for a short time. The room was filled with shining objects such as gold and silver. There are also jewelries of different kinds made with valuable stones such as rubies, sapphires, diamonds and the likes. This room is more like a treasure room.

”Are you amazed by the treasures here?” Aunt Patricia stopped beside me. ”These treasures are the ones that the previous king of Jennovia got after the war. It was what they called it 'the spoils of war'.” I can see my aunt was fuming in anger.

”Spoils of war?” I repeated the phrase ”Then these treasures are…” I was about to say Atlantia's.

”Yes. These treasures came from our own treasury in Atlantia.” My aunt said with gritted teeth. I can see her fists in a tight grip. ”They weren't satisfied with purging our country they even stole our own treasures from us.”

My aunt's hatred really is big. No wonder she was dead set on getting revenge. I pity her but I can't understand her need for revenge. Even if she gets the revenge she is hoping for and the satisfaction brought by it, she can never get back the lives lost especially her most precious person who is my uncle and Gladiolus' father.

”But you were able to retrieve these treasures after exacting your revenge towards the previous king of Jennovia.” I said.

”But it is not enough. They all have to pay for what they have done to us. They stole everything from us and I want them to feel the same way we Atlantians did when we were left with nothing.” My aunt's expression was so fierce. I know since back then that I cannot persuade her to drop her plans on revenge. Her hatred was etched to the bones. I just wish that none of my loved ones will be harmed in her pursuit of vengeance.

”Then your other half of the pendant is here?” I asked acting uninterested. I wouldn't want my aunt doubting me.

”Yes, I also have stored my half of the pendant here in safe keeping.” My aunt replied. ”Come, follow me.”

My aunt led me to the stairs and ascended it. This treasure room is quite big, even having a second floor to it. I looked around the second floor and saw familiar looking stones.

'Magic stones.' I thought in surprise.

The second floor was lined with many magic stones of different colors. It was more than the amount of what we saw in the library. Many different colors only mean different kinds of magic attributes.

'Like I thought, there are still other sites where they store the stones embedded with magic.' I thought. 'Are there sites other than here and the library where they make as storage area?'
