18.4: Brewing Storm
CHAPTER 18.4
Brewing Storm“AKO LANG ba o kapansin-pansing parang may bagyong malapit na bumagsak dito sa kaharian ng Vintress?” pag-uusisa ni Merlin habang sumisimsim ng tsaa.
Pinasadahan ni Selene ng mabilis na tingin ang mahiko bago inilibot ang mga mata kina Lucas at Haring Alexander. Ang wirdo pero hindi niya inaasahang bigla niyang makakasama ang mga ito sa pagtatsaa. Halos katatapos lamang din kasi ng lessons ni Selene kay Kontesa Hussaine kung saan tamang pag-inom ng tsaa at pagsalin ang inaral niya. Gusto raw ng mga ito na sila ang unang makakasama ni Selene sa pagtatsaa.
Anyway... the atmosphere was supposed to be light but for some reason, everything turned darker and heavier when Merlin mentioned something about a brewing storm.
“Ah, you mean that. Palagay ko e nakatunog na sila sa mga plano natin,” sabi naman ni Haring Alexander.

Blood and Roses 19.1: Cutting Ties
CHAPTER 19.1Cutting TiesMABIGAT ang atmospera at nakakabingi ang katahimikang bumabalot sa buong kwarto ni Haring Xavier. Bagamat hindi rin madilim ang lugar, tila ba may kung anong usok na bumalot sa kapaligiran magmula nang pumasom sa opisina niya si Haring Morfran. Hindi niya alam kung iismiran niya ba ito o tatawanan.Morfran Demelza looked pathetic. Like a clown in the circus whose jokes and tricks doesn't work on children. Like a worker who has been fired from his job. He looked like an idiot, one that Xavier would never stop laughing at if he only had a chance.Moreover, although Xavier's amused of this pitiful human, it doesn't really help with the arising problem that he has to deal with while Morfran is here. Lalo na, nitong nakaraan e wala pa ring natatanggap na balita si Xavier mula sa mga ipinadala niyang mersenaryo para hanapin ang kawal na ipinadala niya para patayin si Selene Griego. And at
Blood and Roses 19.2: Inexplicable Thirst
CHAPTER 19.2 Inexplicable Thirst NAKAHALUMBABANG pinapanood ni Selene si Lucas na mag-ensayo ng espada mag-isa. Sa kalagitnaan ng marahas na sinag ng araw, tagatak ng pawis si Lucas habang patuloy silang nagtatagisan ng lakas ni Jonas. Ang ingay ng bawat pag-swing ng sandata ng mga ito, bawat klang at shing—ewan ni Selene bakit niya ginawa pa iyong sound effects.Nabibingi siya at nababagot panoorin ang dalawa.Though, she enjoys watching Lucas since he's really determined to grow stronger, which was why the young man asked his knight to spar with him. Ang kanya lang, wala kasi siyang magawa. Hindi man lang siya makaalis sa lilim na kinaroroonan nila ni Miss Sephare ngayon dahil kanina, nang tumapak siya sa araw, iba ang pagkapasong naramdaman niya.It felt like piercing—the sun rays are penetrating through her skin and it hurts an awful lot.Kaya ayun, benched
Blood and Roses 19.3: Blood Drinking
Chapter 19.3 Blood Drinking LUMIPAS pa ang mga araw at gabi na madalas puntahan ni Selene si Lucas para magpatimpla ng inumin. On several occassions, Lucas didn't have time to entertain her, which was why he only gave her water with artificial blood on it. But for some reason, those drinks don't taste artificial! Hindi maipaliwanag ni Selene pero may something na unique sa mga ibinibigay sa kanya ni Lucas. "Is this really artificial blood?" kunot noo niyang pagkausap sa sarili habang pinagmamasdan ang basong hawak niya. And because she's using a clear glass, she could see the liquid swirl from every movements she makes. Habang pinagmamasdan niya ang baso, natanaw din ni Selene si Lucas na noo'y may mga papeles na inaasikaso. Ang sabi sa kanya ng binata, tini-training na rin daw ito ni Haring Alexander na mamamahala ng kaharian dahil ito nga ang nakatakdang tagapagmana. Well to be honest, Selene feels great know
Blood and Roses 19.4: Perturbed
CHAPTER 19.4 Perturbed MAGMULA noong madiskubre ni Selene na hindi ordinaryo ang pagkauhaw na nararamdaman niya at nang hayaan siya ni Lucas na muling uminom ng dugo mula rito, hindi na siya mapakali sa tuwing nasa paligid ang binata. Selene tried so hard to avoid Lucas but the circumstances just does not allow her to do so. Sa umaga, kasabay niyang kumain si Lucas at Haring Alexander. Tuwing mag-ii-sparring din sina Lucas at Jonas, nandoon siya—pero ito, nagawan niya ng paraan dahil pupwede naman siyang huwag pumunta roon. Kaso, sa tuwing may etiquette classes si Selene, nandoon ulit si Lucas. And of course, lunch and dinner! They are basically inseparable. Alam niya rin namang ang wirdo ng ikinikilos niya. There was this one time where she jumped out of surprise when Lucas appeared from nowhere, confusing everyone—even Merlin and King Alexander. Kung bakit ba naman kasi sa harap pa ng mga ito siya nagulat!
Blood and Roses 19.5: No Way!
CHAPTER 19.5 No Way! AH! HINDI na alam ni Selene kung paanong iwas pa ba ang gagawin niya kay Lucas! Parang mission impossible nang isagawa ang oplan niyang pagtatago mula sa binata at pagkukunwaring hindi ito nag-e-exist dahil sa isang iglap— no! Paglipas lamang ng dalawang araw nang ipaalala ni Merlin na pupunta sila sa lugar nito, inanunsyo na ni Haring Alexander ang pagpunta nila ni Lucas sa Lullin village! So ayun, wala siyang choice kung hindi ang sumakay sa iisang sasakyan kasama ang binata, masakal at ipikit ang mga mata para pilitin ang sariling matulog. Moreover, she remembers telling Merlin that if Lucas wanted to make up, he has to approach her first. But not in this way where she has no means of avoiding him! She should at least have some scapegoat! Because the more she stays around Lucas, the more she felt uneasy! Look, she's even sweating! E hindi nga mainit! "Do I make you unco
Blood and Roses 20.1: For Ideal Betterment
CHAPTER 20.1 For Ideal Betterment THE SKY was dark with a few lightnings that had been flashing beneath the clouds. Anyway, King Alexander stood beside the huge window in his office, waiting for a detestable guest to arrive and invade his personal space. A sigh soon escaped from his mouth as soon as he heard the loud commotion outside. To be honest, he would welcome this individual himself if only he was not pretending to know that he would be arriving today. He even had to send his children to Lullin village yesterday, just so they could be safe—especially Selene, who has been a magnet of trouble ever since she was born. He wonders, they arrived safely in Lullin village? They probably did, knowing that Merlin wouldn’t let those kids experience trouble on their way to his home. As stupid as that mage could seem to be, he’s a reliable vampire.
Blood and Roses 20.2: Betrayal
CHAPTER 20.2 Betrayal "AND DID you really expect me to hand my daughter over?" Alexander asked Morfran. Bagamat pilit na namumutawi ang katahimikan sa kapaligiran, hindi ito hinahayaan ng tensyong namumuo na siyang sinasabayan ng nagsisimulang humagupit na bagyo sa labas ng palasyo. Moreover, Alexander smiled at Morfran before he reached for his teacup. Sumimsim siya ng tsaa at sa mga oras na ito alam ni Alexander na nagpadala na ng senyales si Morfran para hanapin si Selene. "You're planning to raid my castle when you're clearly in a disadvantage?" Alexander mused. Kumibot ang isang kilay ni Morfran. "Halughugin ang palasyo? Ha! 'Di ko alam kung anong tinutukoy mo. Tulad nga ng sinabi mo, I am clearly at a disadvantage." "Hindi ako bingi, Morfran. Bawat kilos ng mga tao mo sa lugar ko, maigi kong napagmamatyagan bagamat kausap mo 'ko rito. If you don't send your troops back, I'll have to kill you h
Blood and Roses 20.3: Unexpected Information
CHAPTER 20.3 Unexpected Information NAKANGIWING nakamasid si Selene sa bakod dahil ilang beses na niyang nakita ang mga kalapit-bahay nila na daan ng daan sa harap ng bahay ni Merlin. Sadya, syempre. Alam naman ni Selene ganyan sila dahil gusto nilang masilayan si Lucas. Paano ba naman kasi, hindi ba oportunidad ang pananatili ng binata rito?Pupwede silang mapansin ni Lucas at maging susunod na Reyna ng kaharian ng Vintress. Kung hindi, pwede naman silang maging concubine lamang kung gusto nila.“Iba talaga charisma mo,” mahinang komento niya at kumagat sa tinapay na hinatid sa kanya ni Lucas kanina.Nakaupo sila sa mahabang upuan sa kabilang parte ng balkonahe. Rito na nilagay ni Lucas ang agahan nila imbes a sa lamesang nasa malapit lamang dahil mas presko raw dito. Ang tanging naghihiwalay sa kanilang dalawa e iyong agahan nilang naghihiwalay sa kanila.
