22.5: Training
CHAPTER 22.5
TrainingAPPARENTLY, Lucas and Selene had separate trainings from Chief Knight Lyte. Different set of education and discipline to learn during the entire session. Natural lang na mas mahirap at mabigat ang training ni Lucas bilang matagal na itong nag-aaral kung paano gumamit ng sandata. Habang si Selene naman, baguhan lamang kung kaya ang focus nila e ang stamina niya.Pinaalalahanan din kasi ni Merlin si Chief Knight Lyte na kung ang sarili niyang enerhiya e hindi niya makontrol, imposibleng kayanin din ni Selene ang pakikipaglaban. Though, she thought that she could use her berserk mode as a reason to at least skip some steps, Lucas then appeared out of nowhere and said that she was unconscious for an entire week after going berserk. Hindi magandang ideya na gamiting last resort ang katauhang kahit siya, kinakatakutan niya.Moreover, when training began, Lucas was partnered with Jonas, who’s considereKaugnay na kabanata
Blood and Roses 23.1: Return Home
CHAPTER 23.1 Return Home EVER SINCE Selene began her training with Chief Knight Lyte, maraming nakapansin na mabilis siyang matuto. Siya mismo na ilang araw pa lang nang magsimulang mag-ensayo sa ilalim ni Chief Knight Lyte, nagulat nang mapagtantong kahit wala siya kaagad sa lebel ni Lucas, mabilis niyang na-adapt ang tungkol sa pakikipaglaban. Lalo na ang tungkol sa self-defense. However, despite learning quickly, there are still a few things that hinders Selene from unlocking her potential. “Your stamina isn’t that good so I suggest you not to put too much effort in fighting, Princess,” puna sa kanya ni Chief Knight Lyte. Katatapos lamang nila noong mag-sparring. And though the Chief Knight went easy on her, it just felt like something inside her was brimming with frustration, thus; she tried to be more aggressive during the entire sparring session. Unfortunately for her, what she did took
Blood and Roses 23.2: Return Home II
CHAPTER 23.2 Return Home IITHE SECOND that they arrived at the palace, Selene gulped a mouthful of air when she noticed that they took a secret route. Ilang beses siyang sumilip sa labas para siguruhing walang nakaabang na kahit sino sa kanila at bagamat nasa loob siya ng sasakyan, pinoprotektahan ng mga kawal sa labas, hindi maiwasan ni Selene ang matakot para sa sariling kaligtasan. She used to believe that vampires are immortal just like how fairytales and fantasy stories introduced the race, but apparently; that wasn't really the case. Vampires still die, they just live longer than humans and has no natural prey, that's why they're thriving. But still, their population is lesser than humans since their ancestors practiced how to balance their community and there isn't really much need for growth in number. Anyway, this is just... ack, why was she suddenly thinking about their race in order to distract herself?
Blood and Roses 23.3: A Risky Request
CHAPTER 23.3 A Risky Request“PLEASE let me participate in the war, King Alexander.”Inboluntaryong nahulog ang hawak-hawak na bolpen ni Haring Alexander kasabay ng pagtigil nito’t pagkahulog ng panga nang marinig ang ‘request’ na tinutukoy niya kagabi. The King blinked in surprise and perhaps, he looked to comical that when Merlin and Duke Louwes took a glimpse of him while they were helping him with the paperworks, both wheezed. Pero hindi ipinahalata ng dalawa ang aliw nang makita si Haring Alexander.Nevertheless, Selene remained standing in front of the King’s desk. She had this determined expression on her face which took him aback and once he has gathered some of his composure, Selene watched King Alexander’s eyes go back and forth from her to Merlin who was giggling mischievously.“I’m sorry Princess Selene, it seems like I didn&r
Blood and Roses 23.4: A Toll Ignored
CHAPTER 23.4 A Toll Ignored SPEEDING THINGS up in terms of training, Selene began to take an intense training procedure under the Chief Knight Lyte’s supervision. The thing is, the knight was not spoiling her anymore, has become stricter, and more outspoken. Her little mistakes wasn’t tolerated and feedbacks are done pre and post-training. Nonetheless, Selene wanted to persevere and strive. Then again, of course she’s exhausted. Simula noong makabalik sila sa kaharian, hindi lang naman ang training ang inaasikaso ni Selene. Of course, her normal routine was returned to her. She has to attend classes. Then, train afterwards. Chief Knight Lyte wasn’t forcing her to train, though. The training regimen passed unto her was difficult and very much of a burden. It’s just that, she wouldn’t allow herself to appear weak when the war is about to begin. “Three days,&rd
Blood and Roses 23.5: Something Absurd
CHAPTER 23.5 Something Absurd SELENE was forced to rest during that day. Hinatid siya ni Lucas sa kwarto at bagamat ilang beses niyang sinabi na kaya na niyang maglakad, hindi naniwala sa kanya ang binata. He kept on insisting that it’s impossible for her to regain strength right away when she couldn’t even move her arm. Para raw siyang nalanta. Gawa ng pagpupumilit mag-training at biglaang episode. “Prinsesa Selene, naiibsan ba ng ibang klase ng dugo ang pagkauhaw mo?” the palace psychiatrist asked. Apparently, there are two types of doctors in the palace. One is for the humans while another is for them, vampires. However, this palace psychiatrist in front of her is the royal family’s personal doctor. Si Lucas ang tumawag dito dahil urgent daw ang kaso niya’t gusto nito na may mapagkakatiwalaan ang mga itong titingin sa kanya. For the other doctor, this must be a
Blood and Roses 24.1: A Conversation before the War
CHAPTER 24.1 A Conversation before the War “ANO PO ANG pag-uusapan natin, Mahal na Hari?” kabadong tanong niya. Pagkatapos siyang lapitan kanina ni Haring Alexander, tinanong nito kung pupwede ba silang mag-usap na dalawa na siyang pinaunlakan niya. Isa sa mga bilin nito e ang iwanan silang dalawa ni Selene ngunit ang mga guwardiya nila, nakasunod pa rin sa likuran. Sadyang malayo lamang ang distansya ng mga ito, sapat para mabantayan silang dalawa. “Ah. Let’s beat off the bush for a bit.” Mahinang tumawa ang Hari at iminuwestra sa kanya ang kagandahan ng hardin dito sa palasyo. Selene regarded the flowers too. “Maganda ang sibol ng mga bulaklak sa ganitong panahon, Prinsesa Selene. Lalo na ng mga rosas.” Tumango siya. “Opo. Kaya po kami nandito kanina ni Miss Sephare e dahil nagandahan po ako sa hardin.” “Masaya akong malaman na nagustuhan
Blood and Roses 24.2: Dreadful Battlefield
CHAPTER 24.2 Dreadful Battlefield MAAGA pa lamang nang umalis sina Selene sa kaharian ng Vintress. Hindi pa sumisikat ang araw at nasa itaas pa ng kalangitan ang buwan. Tahimik ang buong paligid maging ang pagkilos nila. Tanging huni lamang ng mga ciccada, halinghing ng mga kabayo, at mahinang pag-ugong ng makina ang naririnig nila. Selene, despite being surrounded by guards and Lucas, remained vigilant of her surroundings. Nasabihan kasi sila kanina na posibleng kahit wala pa sila sa pangyayarihan ng giyera, gagawa ng maagang pag-atake ang kaharian ng Izquierdo. Baka raw ma-ambush sila. “Are you worried?” Natigilan si Selene nang marinig ang boses ni Lucas. Nasa loob naman sila noon ng sasakyan at hangga’t maaari, kung gagamitan man sila ng baril, siniguro ni Haring Alexander na bulletproof ang kanila. Isa pa, mayroong ipinatong na protective barrier si Merlin sa buong grupo nila
Blood and Roses 24.3: Loyalty Versus Rotten Mindset
CHAPTER 24.3 Loyalty Versus Rotten Mindset SELENE noticed that she’s being excluded by the group. Of course, not by Lucas and the people she spent her time with, rather; by the knights who only knew her when they set out on a journey to prepare for war and defend Vintress Kingdom. And of course, to take back Izquierdo Kingdom from the hands of the notorious Demelza family. “But why are they acting so hostile towards me? It’s not like the Demelza family can be trusted either,” she mutters to herself, ranting about the treatment she’s been receiving from strangers. Normally, she would ignore how these knights would roll their eyes or snort whenever she’s around. But recently, they resorted to nudging her or pushing her out of their ways even though she wasn’t exactly standing idle on paths that they’re supposed to take. They probably just... wanted to taunt her. &ld
