Jack found himself in a different place. He looked around in confusion. He was in some kind of a basement.
He was still wondering what had happened. The throne room had mana all around the place. He sensed where the hostile traps were, but he didn't sense anything from the trap that created the veil which moved him into this place.
He was still battle-ready. He had his king badge in his hand, but what if there were more traps in this place?
"There is no need to be alarmed. You are safe here," Jack heard a familiar voice.
Horatio appeared out of a shadow in a far corner. The Book of the Damned which Jack gave him was hanging beside his waist. That book was tied to a chain that was linked to Horatio's robe. As Horatio approached, Jack sensed strong mana from the chain. It won't be easy breaking that chain to steal the book.
