"Now that Princess Diana is back, I believe things will return to normal for us in this kingdom. Her absence hurt everyone. It affected every of this kingdom. In one way or the other m, everyone could feel her absence. Thanks to the gods that she is back safe and healthy." Jacquard said to his twin brother, Jack. "Yeah, she is back. What did you want me to gain from that." Jack said briskly. "Ohhh! Really! Her absence does not have to affect you and you are idle. You have nowhere to go. She left the kingdom and a few days after you lost your job. No, you are working as a guard whose earnings are nothing to reckon with. You to wake up and stop all this. If it is envy, you should stop. If it is you like her, then you approach her and tell her your mind, after all, she is free with everyone and approachable. Just tell her your mind and how you feel about her, you might be lucky. It is better than you sitting here and starting badmouthing people." Jacquard said angrily. " I don't get
Jacquard work up very early the following morning. He had his bath, get dressed, and was about to leave for work. Jacquard had already left his previous job where he works as a translator. He had secured a new job. He is now working as a Librarian in the ancient library of Abasia Kingdom. The library was constructed after the attack of Flighters which caused the tunnel in the mountain to collapse where everything about Abasia Kingdom was years back. The documents, ancient books, history, artworks, like drawings, paintings, artifacts, and a lot more were all transferred from the rock to the newly built Library. He went straight to his twin brother's room, Jack, to wake him up. " It is late already. Get up from that bed of yours and get dressed for work. Or you have decided that you are not going to the brewery today?"" Yeah. You get it." Jack replied, rolling around his bed. "I am not going today. Good morning Jacquard. You can come in. The door is not locked." He said. " Look at
Curiosity. Orderliness. A passion for understanding." Jacquard looked around at his students. " To become a great librarian, you must have a passion and a sense of mission. Because you will have to confront extraordinary challenges, challenges which-" Jay Oh, one of the top students- but also one of his most disruptive kids- interrupted." Yeah, like trying to be bored to death!" Jacquard frowned. " Now, come on, Jay oh. I am making a serious point here. Why are you disrupting the class?" He asked. He tried to look as stern as he could. But the truth was, he sometimes wondered if Jay oh was not right. Jacquard loved teaching, loved working as s researcher in the world's most important library. And yet sometimes he wondered- was this it? Was this all he had been put on earth to do? He was good at his job. Very good. But sometimes it seems like poking around full of ancient facts and figures- or teaching young people how to poke around any instrument available within the facility-
Jacquard walked slowly down the hallway to the staircase. The director's office is on the fourth floor while his office is on the second floor. They rushed down the staircase to the classroom because it was almost time for the class kick-off. The kids had already arrived. They were singing and drumming. The noise was getting louder, disturbing the whole building. He had been teaching since he stopped working as a translator a few years back. He really loves the job, translating any written words to English, so that they can be read by everyone or whosoever. He was so good and versed with it, but always had problems with his Superiors. Maybe they were all scared that he would take their position one day because he was so exceptional. No matter the language any words, he would identify them and still them perfectly. Any task they found so difficult was always a thing to play with for him. His Superiors not only get jealous of him but also do everything possible to keep him unknown to t
General Lane scratched his face uneasily. " Uh- well, yes, sure, that is probably- yes, let go ahead and do that." He looked around the room as thoroughly as searching for a spot to question the students. "Where can't it be done? I want a place where our voice won't disturb other people "There is an empty classroom next door. Maybe I could bring them in there one after the other?" "Outstanding!" General Lane said. " I will be in the next door then." He wheeled and walked out of the room. The students looked at one another with perplexed expressions on their faces. After the class was over and he'd questioned each of the students, General Lane said to Jacquard, "Well, I thought that went really well! Really well indeed!" Jacquard noticed that the detective was sweating heavily as if he were nervous about something. " What did you find out?" "Find out?" The investigator blinked. "Uh . . . Well . . . not much." He showed off his straight, white teeth. " Can't expect too m
Later that afternoon Jacquard knocked on the door of the director's office. " Ma'am?" He said, peeping around the door frame. " Sorry to bother you. But . . . Well, I met with the investigator today. And I have told you, I was not that impressed. I don't think he is up to the task. I doubt if he would be able to handle this matter well because his styles of doing things are not technical at all if you are there, you would feel irritated and get angry. With him in charge, the chance to recover those missing books is slim. The director kept quiet for a while. She did not alter a word in response to what Jacquard had just said. She looked at his side ones and continued with what she was doing. The director looked away from the books placed before her. She had been studying and frowned. " He seemed quite professional." "Yes," Jacquard said. " Until he actually starts working." " He is from Unit Nine! I am sure he has his methods." " If he does, I can't see them. He looks like a p
"What is this?" How is all this happening? When?. . He exclaimed. Books that have been kept out of people's reach for years and all of a sudden someone suddenly appears from nowhere demanding those collections. He was suspicions are getting toward affirmation. He felt the seniors togetogetherh the guards are involved. He tried his best to go through the register within the shortest time. Going through the lists, he heard a footstep approaching. The guards are coming. It seems he needed to stop what he was doing. He quickly packed those documents back to where he packed them and quickly hide behind the door. In the documents he opened, he noticed a particular name had been requested for those books several. TThelasted time she requested one of the missing books was a day before they went missing. " Who is this lady? And how is she related to those missing books?" Jacquard asked himself. After a few minutes, one of the guards entered to pick up something. He felt that ther
" You need my help? You must be joking" "Sincerely, I don't know how I can be of help to you. Because I don't really know who you really think I am. "Let me even ask you these questions. Why do you think I am the right person to help you out? what led you to think in my direction?" As I am, I am helpless and have nothing to offer you. Let me remind you of who I am, what I am made up of, and my rank in the army of Abasia Kingdom is nothing. You know I am still a small soldier taking orders from superiors. The help I will offer is limited." "Relax Danju, hear me out first. At least, once you hear whatsoever I have to say that is when you can say all this you have said." Jacquard said. " After all, I saw a lot of people, even your colleagues that are also my friend but I know you are exceptional and also get curious about things within our surroundings and also you are my childhood friend. You must have all the information I need and I am sure you would not turn me down. " " I
