12.3: The Princess’ Decision
CHAPTER 12.3
The Princess’ Decision“ANONG ginagawa ninyo?!” namamanghang sigaw ni Selene nang magsimulang magpumiglas mula sa pagkakaposas.Everyone was too stunned to speak and react while the knights only chuckled mockingly, making fun of Selene and the entire funeral. Nakakasama pa ng loob dahil ito ang huling araw ng Mama niya, ito ang kahuli-hulihang beses na makikita niya ang imahe nito bago siya pormal na magpaalam. She still plans to mourn even after her burial, asking the visitors to leave and give her some time!But all of that was ruined after the knights disrupted the solemn atmosphere wafting on the air and abruptly put handcuffs around her wrist.Selene threw daggers at the knights. She still could not understand why are they messing with her! Ilang araw na ang lumipas. Ang akala pa naman niya, hindi na siya gagambalain ng mga kabalyero matapos ngga itong isa-isang kinaladkad niKaugnay na kabanata
Blood and Roses 12.4: Reconciliation
CHAPTER 12.4ReconciliationUP until now, Selene couldn’t understand what’s happening in her life. She plans to welcome Lucas and Jonas back in her life after realizing that they meant no harm, however; things still baffled her. Most especially in regards to how the knights who accompanied Lucas addressed him as ‘Princess’. She thought that it was pretty absurd, even though Lucas explained that she is indeed a lost princess of the Kingdom of Izquierdo—but like, how?All her life, she grew as an ordinary human being. Sure, something weird occurs every now and then but that doesn’t stop her from thinking anything weird about herself. Her mother, Helen, also told her that she’s unique in her own way and she held onto that.“Pwede ba ulit akong magtanong?” pag-uusisa ni Selene kay Miss Sephare habang inaasikaso niya ang Braised Black Pepper Chicken para kay Lu
Blood and Roses 12.5: Decision
CHAPTER 12.5 DecisionHYMN of the Moon is one of the three forbidden spells in the entire vampire race. At first, it may sound uninteresting and undeserving of its spot as a forbidden spell but as Lucas learned its capabilities from the mage considered to be the strongest in all of the four Kingdoms, Selene was told that Lucas immediately revoked his words.The Hymn is no ordinary protective spell that could transfer an object from one place to another. In fact, if a vampire casted the spell to protect a fellow vampire, the Hymn works differently from ordinary objects—this is probably why Lucas deemed the Hymn to be useless in the beginning. Going back, since it was casted upon Selene by the previous queen, Erina Griego, the Hymn not only transferred her to Westmount Kingdom but her vampiric abilities was also suppressed and in her blood, flowed the spell of the Hymn which would knock out or kill anyone who poses a thr
Blood and Roses 13.1: Explanations
CHAPTER 13.1 Explanations SELENE wasn’t able to react when Lucas admitted that he was already engaged, with a Princess, at that. Selene knew who it was as she’d seen her in several occasions whenever Princess Luan would have to attend balls and parties here in Westmount Kingdom since as far as she knows, the Demelza family and the Heredia family have a tight bond—a friendship they do not know when it bloomed. Moreover, Selene didn’t expect that Lucas would also be acquainted with the aforesaid family. Well, according to what Selene has been hearing, the Demelza family who had been ruling the Izquierdo Kingdom was a better leader than the Heredia family. Had she said this out loud, she would be accused of treason, thus; Selene kept the thoughts ro herself. “Hindi ba... hindi ba mga Demelza ang nagpapadala ng assassin para sa patayin ako?” hindi niya makapaniwalang tanong. May multo ng pag
Blood and Roses 13.2: Invitation
CHAPTER 13.2 Invitation “PRINCE Lucas, King Alexander wanted to initiate a call through the crystal right now. It’s urgent,” Sir Guischard informed him while the knight lowered his head to give respects to him. Lucas, who had just woken up from his daylight slumber and had barely recognized the setting sun shown on the window beside his room was surprised upon hearing the news. He gaped, his jaw almost dropped at the blanket that had been giving him warmth, and his eyes were slightly wide. Since he was stunned, he was inept to provide a verbal response for a bit. “Prinsipe Lucas?” muling tawag ni Sir Guischard sa kanya, naninigurong hindi siya biglang nakatulog na naman. No, he has no plans to sleep anymore. Nabawi na naman niya sa wakas ang enerhiyang ginamit sa pagbabantay kay Selene. Ngayon, mas maayos na ang takbo ng pamumuhay nilang lahat at nakakapagpahinga na rin sila nina J
Blood and Roses 13.3: Before the Banquet
CHAPTER 13.3 Before the Banquet “KA—kailangan ko rin ba talagang matuto na sumayaw? ‘Di ba, sinabi ni Haring Alexander na ‘wag akong makikihalubilo sa mga maharlika?” pag-uusisa ni Selene noong oras na kaladkarin niya ang dalaga sa bakuran upang turuan itong sumayaw. It’s just a random thought that came across his mind. Isa pa, Sabado ngayon at walang pasok ang dalaga sa eskwelahan. Nang magtanong din siya kung mayroon ba itong dadaluhang proyektong panggrupo, sinabi rin ni Selene na wala itong kahit na anong gagawin. So, instead of letting time rot away, Lucas decided to teach Selene how to dance. “Lucas, nakikinig ka ba sa ‘kin?” pag-uusisa ni Selene noong imbes na sumagot siya, tanging pagbaba lamang ng tingin ang ginawa niya at paghawak lamang sa baba para ipahiwatig na malalim ang iniisip niya. “Lucas!” Doon lamang tuluyang nahugot mula sa m
Blood and Roses 13.4: Fear and Worries
CHAPTER 13.4 Fear and Worries THEY had someone teach Selene proper etiquette. Hindi isa sa mga kasama ni Lucas kung hindi ibang guro na siyang nakakausap lamang ni Selene gamit ang communication crystal. Dahil gahol na sila sa oras at matinding pananala rin ang dinaanan ng mga posibleng kandidato para turuan siya, strikto at naging mabilis ang pagtururo sa kanya. She didn’t mind but at the same time, she finds each lesson troublesome. “I had it tough when I was younger too,” Lucas shared when they went out to the market, in complete disguise, so that they could buy groceries. Kasama pa rin nila sina Jonas ngunit nagbabantay ang mga ito sa paligid. Naramdaman din ni Lucas ang presensya ng mga ito ngunit hinayaan na lamang ng binata. Nag-aalala lang daw ang mga ito dahil pareho silang galing sa royal family—though, Selene’s family has long fallen, the Knights made sure to treat her with the same
Blood and Roses 13.5: Night of the Banquet
CHAPTER 13.5 Night of the Banquet SELENE was extremely uncomfortable as several helpers lent a hand to help her wear the dress she chose for the banquet. She had been sweat dropping, deliberately feeling the anxiety and pressure crippling from somewhere behind her. Although, no one has uttered a word to insult her, Selene felt the scrutinizing gazes she received. It’s hard not to miss it. Especially when the helpers made it obvious despite them, hiding it through layers of façade and a fake smile. “Ang ganda-ganda niyo po!” Ganito ang madalas na naririnig niyang papuri mula sa mga tumulong sa kanyang magbihis. Nagpumilit si Selene na ngumiti upang ipabatid na ‘masaya’ siya sa ginawa ng mga itong pagtulong pero sa kaloob-looban niya, nasusuka siyang umaktong mabait sa mga ito. It’s hard being the lost princess of a fallen family. Bago pa dumating ang mga tum
Blood and Roses 14.1: Unexpected Encounter
CHAPTER 14.1 Unexpected Encounter THE air feels tight, she’s suffocating. No matter how spacious, glorious, or fabulous the venue of the celebration is, she couldn’t hide from the tension and unfamiliarity that the place offers. There was no such thing as comfort, and now that she’s able to step in to this place and get a glimpse of the nobles’ lives, Selene finds it understandable that Lucas called such banquet a headache. Selene secretly thanked the mask she wore and the fan she used to hide her face. After all, the frown painted across her face was something beyond a painter’s skill. No one would be able to put it in a canvas. No matter how she looked around and witness the people faking their joy and enthusiasm, Selene could see through their lies. Suddenly, it was as if the bright and glorious venue was embraced by a dark and menacing aura. Threats are around so she can’
