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.Kaugnay na kabanata
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.
Blood and Roses 20.4: Chance
CHAPTER 20.4ChanceNOONG matapos ang pag-uusap nina Haring Alexander at ni Merlin, doon pa lamang nakahinga ng maluwang si Lucas. Ilang minuto niyang hinintay na makapagpahinga ang mahiko upang lumabas para ipakita ang basket na dinala noong asungot nilang kapitbahay nang biglang magsalita si Merlin, dahilan upang mapapiksi siya mula sa kinatatayuan.“Kanina ka pa nariyan ‘di ba, Prinsipe Lucas?” anito.Lucas gritted his teeth and held the urge to response to Merlin’s provocation. Only that, he conceded later on. There’s no use in hiding anyway, who can fool a mage anyway?A few moments more and he steeled himself. Humigop siya ng malalim na hininga bago marahang kumilos mula sa pinagtataguan. He revealed himself to Merlin with a frown. Hindi naman dapat pero dala ng pagka-bad trip sa nangyari sa labas at dala ng mga narinig niya ngayon-ngayon lamang, hindi maiw
Blood and Roses 20.5: Curiosity Shan’t Kill the Cat
CHAPTER 20.5 Curiousity Shan’t Kill the Cat NAGUGULUHANG inilibot ni Selene ang mga mata sa kabuuan ng opisina ni Merlin. Mayroong mga potion na mukhang ginagawa at pinoproseso pa, mayroon ding mga aklat na nakabukas tapos sa tuwing dadaan ang hangin mula sa nakabukas na bintana ng kwarto, malilipat ang pahina. Mayroong mga babasaging kasangkapan din ang nakakalat sa isang tabi at palagay ni Selene, para naman iyon sa ibang eksperimento. “Merlin, pinatawag mo ‘ko?” basag niya sa katahimikan. Noong dumating siya sa opisina ni Merlin, hindi siya nito kaagad na napansin dahil abala ito sa pagmi-mix ng potion na kanina pa nito binubulong. Ipinapagawa raw ng kapitbahay dahil tinatrangkaso ang asawa nito, at ito si Merlin, nakikipaghabulan sa oras. Nang marinig ang boses niya, at saka pa lamang iniangat ng mahiko ang ulo mula sa libro at listahang kanina pa tinitignan. “Ah, M
Blood and Roses 21.1: To Nethermoore
CHAPTER 21.1 To Nethermoore NOONG balaan siya ni Merlin na ihanda ang sarili dahil hindi niya magugustuhan ang anumang makikita sa Nethermoore, inihanda nga niya ang sarili. Bagamat wala siyang alam tungkol sa lugar na nabanggit ni Merlin at Lucas, hindi maganda ang kutob niya sa oras na pumunta sila roon. Base pa lamang sa pag-aalinlangan ni Lucas na dalhin siya sa lugar na iyon gawa ng hindi makatarungan ang nararanasan ng mga naroon, alam ni Selene na hindi rin niya ikatutuwa ang makikita. But would that be enough reason to save Izquierdo Kingdom? It is, probably. But to lead it as she's the sole survivor and the direct bearer of the Griego bloodline is a different story. Selene still yearns for the kind of life Merlin has here in Lullin Village, after all. “Selene, handa ka na ba?” tanong ni Lucas. Naputol ang iniisip ni Selene at awtomatiko siyang nahila pabalik ng realidad nang marinig ang bos
Blood and Roses 21.2: Living Hell
CHAPTER 21.2 Living Hell TRAVELLING through Rutchill woods to this notorious and hidden ‘Nethermoore’ was surprisingly quick. Base sa estimation ni Selene, hindi man umabon ng trenta minuto mula nang magsimula silang maglakad hanggang sa makakita siya ng abandonadong lugar mula sa malayo. And though it’s just a glimpse, Selene could discern the destroyed buildings and she could smell this distasteful stench. She even unconsciously complained about it before covering her nose, and Lucas immediately checked on her. “You okay? It’s not a good odor. Good thing you instantly covered your nose before I said so,” anito bago mayroong inabot sa kanya ng panyo. Nang kunin iyon ni Selene, muling nagsalita si Lucas, “oo nga pala, bumabalik na ‘yong senses mo. Anyway, that’s a scented handkerchief. Iba ang amoy sa lugar na ‘to, so use that to block the odor here.”
Blood and Roses 21.3: Hell-Bound
CHAPTER 21.3 Hell-Bound SELENE didn’t expect what she would see here in Nethermoore. It’s the worst place, worse than Hell itself. It just seems like the royal family brought that place to Xeofarea and made their people suffer. Just because they were loyal to the Griego family— just because of this one thing and the lives of these individuals collapsed, they were tortured. Akala ni Selene, malala na ang mga nakita niya kanina. Chopped body parts from humans scattered around the entire place, fresh blood painting the ruined walls of Nethermoore. Pero hindi, ang pinakamalala palang makikita ni Selene ngayon e ang mga bampirang nakapako sa krus at nakababad sa ilalim ng araw. “They’re dead,” Merlin declared with just glancing all over the corpses of those vampires. “Their bodies will turn to ashes in a minute from now on.” “What?” she exclaimed. Hindi man
Blood and Roses 21.4: Irrational
CHAPTER 21.4 Irrational LUCAS and Selene were both prepared for the ambush the culprits. No, it was just Lucas while Selene would run to fetch Merlin. Moreover, the two of them was waiting for the right time to attack, waiting for all the Izquierdo Knights to get off from an abandoned and wrecked house. Lucas’ grip on the sheathe of his sword tightened while Selene thought of ways how to take these people by surprise. The excruciating pain and the involuntary noises they could hear from a distance makes Selene feel uncomfortable, teary, and at the very same time: angry. She wanted to do something but the least she could do right now is to wait for Lucas’ instruction. “Don’t move yet, Lucas. Since this place is crooked and wretched, we may make an involuntary noise and catch the knights’ attention. The least thing we’d want to happen right now is to startle them and their entire troupe to
