CHAPTER 25.3
CorneredBLOODSHED is all over the place again. Even before the sun began to rise, they were awaken by several warcries and when she checked, there was already an ongoing battle against their side and the enemies. They were all surprised and taken aback, they barely had enough time to rest but since this is war, Selene could really do a reality check.No, she can’t rest like how she used to back when she’s still in the palace of Vintress Kingdom. She can’t take her leisure since she’s in the middle of a crisis and if she’s careless, she could be surprised by a sudden attack and her head could be rolling on the ground if that happens. Selene can’t eat her breakfast in peace because the first thing that she’ll ever see during this war is death and destruction.But it’s... stupid.“For the Kingdom of Izquierdo!” the soldiers shouted as theCHAPTER 25.4 Rescue LUCAS began to blow several huge attacks in order to knock out and decrease the number of soldiers that has been surrounding them. Nevertheless, their amount seemed not to lessen, instead; they only grow in number. Nasisiphayong pinagmasdan ni Selene ang nangyayari dahil kahit siyang tumutulong na sugatan at dalhin isa-isa sa karatayan ang mga kalaban nila, hindi man lang nababawasan ang mga ito! Ilang sigaw na ng pighati’t sakit ang narinig niya ngunit tila ba walang epekto lahat ng paghihirap nilang dalawa ni Lucas. It’s just so hard to escape even though they discussed their plan thoroughly. Inilibot ni Selene ang mga mata sa kapaligiran habang patuloy na nakikipaglaban at ina-assist si Lucas. Kaya pa naman nilang sundan ang plano nito pero napipigilan sila sa dami ng taong nakapaligid sa kanilang dalawa. Gusto ring iwasan ni Selene na mapagod kaagad si Lucas dahil sa oras
CHAPTER 25.5 Worried WHEN Merlin came back, he was finally with Lucas. However, Selene was mortified to find out that Lucas was injured. Noong dumating si Merlin, doon unti-unting nanghina si Lucas kaya dalawang beses daw itong nasaksak. Though, Merlin already did the first aid and made sure that the soldiers' weapons didn't contain any poison that could be harmful against vampires, their weapons were made of silver, which would slower Lucas' recovery. "Mabuti na lang at dumating ako sa oras. Mabuti rin at 'di naman sa vital organs tinamaan si Prinsipe Lucas." Bumuga nang marahas na hangin si Merlin at napailing. "'Wag kang mag-alala, Mahal na Prinsesa. Nasa mabuting kamay ang Prinsipe. Ang mga manggagamot na ang bahala rito." Alam niya iyon pero hindi niya maiwasang mag-alala. Namumutla na nga rin siya't halos hindi niya maiwanan kanina si Lucas kung hindi lamang nagtanong ang manggagamot kung pupwede bang iwanan muna
CHAPTER 26.1RestEVEN THOUGH there was chaos outside, Selene wasn't allowed to go out of Lucas' tent and participate in the war. Both Merlin and Chief Knight Lyte insisted that she rest along with Lucas, so that he'd also have someone to look after him since he hasn't awoken yet.Miss Sephare and Sir Theo was also left outside the war, with Jonas joining back since his presence would be of great use during the fight. Nevertheless, their knights made sure that Selene wasn't feeling alone with a sleeping Lucas beside her. Miss Sephare often accompanied her inside and talked with her, she updated Selene about what's happening in the war. She was also filled in by Sir Theo whenever Miss Sephare would be out to get them some snacks.The thing is, when Selene felt ready for the war although Lucas was still unconscious, King Alexander reached out to them using a communication crystal core and told her to rest until Lucas wakes up.Wala siyang ibang nagawa
CHAPTER 26.2Stubborn EVEN THOUGH Selene wanted Lucas to rest for a few more days, the moment that Lucas found that he could stand and his wounds don’t hurt anymore, he insisted on going back to the battlefield. Parang batang mangiyak-ngiyak si Selene habang kinukumbinsi ito na siya na lang muna ang babalik dahil ayos lang ang pakiramdam niya. Si Lucas, kailangan pa nitong magpahinga nang ilang araw para masiguro nilang hindi bubuka ang mga sugat nito. But he kept on insisting that he’d return with Selene. At kahit na binawi ni Selene ang pagbalik sa giyera para bigyang oras pa ang pagri-recover nito, hindi pumayag si Lucas at ipinipilit pa rin ang gusto. “You’re such a kid.” Selene faked a snifle and wiped the tear at the corner of her eye. “Lucas! Pa’no kung biglang bumuka ang mga sugat mo?! ‘Di mo man lang isipin ang sarili mo samantalang ito ang pinag-usapan natin noong
CHAPTER 26.3Clones WHEN THE two of them decided to join the battlefield again, it was no surprise that they expected it to be a huge riot. Mabilis na pinagkumpulan sila ng mga sundalo at parang nag-replay ang mga nangyari noong unang araw nilang sumabak sa giyera. Selene caught her breathe as she slashed an enemy’s arm, sending it somewhere. Blood gushed and the agonizing scream almost pierced her ears but she didn’t flinch or anything. She was just there, gradually losing her mood while she stared blankly at the soldier who almost penetrated the edge of his weapon on her waist. “Ayos ka lang ba?” Natigilan si Selene nang marinig ang boses ni Lucas sa gilid niya. Ang kaninang pagkinang ng mga mata niya na nawala, biglang bumalik nang hilain siya ng binara pabalik sa huwisyo. Selene was dumbfounded for a moment until she turned around and saw him with a uniform covered in crimson. She
CHAPTER 26.4Cautious MERLIN heaved a sigh as he and his troupe walked down a thorny and dangerous path. Patungo sila sa kampo ng mga kalaban dahil mahigpit na ipinag-uutos ni Prinsesa Selene na hanapin ang pinanggagalingan ng mga clones na siyang umaatake sa kampo ng Prinsesa’t Prinsipe. Noong una pa lamang may hinuha na talaga si Merlin na dalawa lamang ang posibleng dahilan kung bakit lamang ang bilang ng mga sundalo sa kaharian ng Izquierdo’t Westmount. Una, pinilit lahat ng mga kalalakihan na makilahok sa giyera kahit labag sa loob nila. Hindi alam ni Merlin ang posibleng age range ng tinipon nilang mga kalalakihan at pinilit maging sundalo ngunit nag-aalala si Selene sa kalagayan ng mga ito kung sakali. Kaso, kataka-takang sa kabila ng lahat ng effort nila e hindi pa rin nababawasan ang bilang ng mga sundalong ito. Napasagitsit siya. Ang ikalawang ideya na nagkaroon si Merlin e baka mayroong mahikong ka
CHAPTER 26.5Westmount’s Mad Dog SELENE KNEW that Lucas can’t focus anymore on battling. He’s struggling, wavering, there were times that he almost bit a clone but refused to. Nag-aalala niya itong inoobserbahan habang abala siya sa pakikipaglaban at pag-assist sa mga ito. She already summoned numerous magic circles just so she could stop Lucas from biting one of those clones, thinking that something could happen on him if he ever successfully bites one of them. “I get it! Ba’t ‘di ka na lang maghintay mamaya?!” kabado at natatarantang singhal ni Selene sa binata. Nauuhaw ito! Alam niya! Noong ‘magbiro’ ito na gusto nitong uminom sa kanya, hahayaan niya ito! Kaso binawi ni Lucas ‘tsaka ito bumalik sa ginagawang pagpatay ng mga kalaban. Pero kung hindi naman pala nito kayang ituon ang buong atensyon sa ginagawa lalo na’t dahil sa dugong nakapaligid sa kanil
CHAPTER 27.1Fear of Losing LUCAS HAD heard about a crazy knight in Westmount Kingdom once. It was a huge issue, a great controversy as to why would a respected family who leads an entire country keep an insane person as their ally? Lucas had once heard of the rucuss that this knight made, of how lives weren’t spared and how blood splattered across the country, painting its great walls a dark crimson. It was probably after the Fernandez family retreated as the Heredia’s knights to repudiate their ancient relation with the royal family. It goes a long way back and Lucas can’t seem to recall the small details, but Fausto’s existence caused a huge chaos. “Prinsipe Lucas, gusto kong malaman mo na bago natin kaharapin ang isang ito e magiging mahirap itong kalaban. He’s got unexpected tricks and dirty antics hidden beneath his sleeves and if we’re not careful, he might be able to snat
