Rescuers swarmed toward the site of the blast, everyone eager to help, and that meant someone needed to organize them.
The Palace Guards were not in any position to organize a rescue effort at that moment, with their minds focused on the location of their members assigned to this wing. So, the duty fell to the Crown Prince, as the ranking Royal in the area.
"Everyone, take the far stairs down two levels and start near the library. Check for damage and work your way up.
We have reason to believe that the Library itself, as well as the new training ground near it, are intact.
If you find anyone wounded, please take them to a safe location. We will have healers stationed on top of the rubble, as well as on the outer perimeter of the damaged area.
If you have secondary healing skills and are not assigned to the perimeter, please join a rescue team to perform emergency medical assistance. Nobody is to work alone. Buddy up and go in groups of at least two.
