Blood and Roses 35.2: Retribution, At Last
CHAPTER 35.2 Retribution, At Last AS SOON AS MERLIN WOKE up from his slumber, he joked about complaining that he had just woken up and yet he had to shoulder a difficult task right away. If not for Chief Knight Lyte who knocked some sense to him, he seemed like he wouldn’t remember where they were. It’s a good thing that the Chief Knight keeps him grounded since when he saw Selene’s face looking down on him, Merlin immediately stood up and understood his job. “Kailangan na nating tapusin ‘to, Merlin. Nanghihina na ang mga kalaban dahil kanina pa nila tayo inaatake pero wala silang magawa,” panimula niya. Kumunot ang noo ni Merlin habang patuloy nitong hinihimas ang ulo. Bakas ang pagkagulo sa mukha nito hanggang sa mapansin nitong medyo madilim ang kinaroroonan nila. Nang makita nito ang kinaroroonan nila, namilog ang mga mata nito nang rumehistro ritong gumawa siya ng matibay at malaking pader para proteksyunan silang lahat hanggang sa gumaling ito at makapag-isip sila ng plano k
Blood and Roses 35.3: Crushing Dreams
Chapter 35.3 Crushing Dreams THE FEAR IN KING MORFRAN’S eyes as he watched Selene descend from the stairs, holding her sword with her eyes screaming that she’s bloodthirsty and was craving for múrder with its bright crimson color made her feel satisfied. Right, this is the reaction that she’s been looking for. Something that would allow him to go crazy and this could be it. So, she couldn’t contain the smile to curl onto her lips no more. “Is it fear? Is this your worst nightmare? Maybe it is. Kaya nga sobrang desperado kang mawala ako sa landas mo para sa ‘yo na lang lahat ng dapat ay akin, ‘di ba?” she began. Her voice sounded threatening to the point that she might have came like she’s looking forward to slítting his throat. “You made my life miserable. But I wasn’t allowed to know before. I didn’t know that my Mom struggled to raise me because you kept on sending assassins and that my background isn’t all about rainbows and unicorns.” King Morfran ruined everything from her an
Blood and Roses 35.4: End of War
CHAPTER 35.4 End of War AND JUST LIKE THAT, the war has finally come to an end and everyone can rest. Selene, although she didn’t appear in front of the mass and allowed Merlin to take over, was introduced to be someone who has helped free Izquierdo Kingdom from the wicked. It was frightening too since most nobles seemed to have rooted for King Morfran’s victory but seeing as to who might betray them later on, Selene asked Merlin to look after the list of nobles who swore loyalty on the previous King. Meanwhile, there were still some neutral and remaining vampire nobles. And fortunately, these nobles just pretended to be neutral but they were only discreetly supporting the Griego family, the lost and fallen royalties. So, upon hearing Selene’s existence, most of them wanted to meet Selene since she’s the last Griego and they’ve been hoping for her return. Even the commoners who hoped for salvation wanted to thank her, and the rebels too. But she’s just too shy and didn’t want to r
Blood and Roses 35.5: Marriage Proposal
CHAPTER 35.5 Marriage Proposal BEING ROYALTY ISN’T JUST about luxury and wealth. It isn’t about owning a huge land and living in a huge castle with servants. It’s not about waking up late in the morning and having your breakfast served on the bed nor is it about waltzing in the garden before having tea later on. The day doesn’t end on meeting some people for gossip and it isn’t about living a lax life without any responsibilities — it’s far from ideal. Being born as royalty also meant a huge responsibility. Selene knew this. It’s far from the life that she once had with her adoptive mother, Helen. So, even though she hasn’t taken any step yet, she knew that she’ll be lacking. She knows that she isn’t fit to stand as the ruler of Izquierdo Kingdom. That’s why she’s scared. Selene knew that once she stepped into Izquierdo Kingdom and present herself out in public, she would have to shoulder the burden of owning a huge land with citizens and workers in it. She has to deal with the p
Blood and Roses 36.1: Bounded by Responsibilities
CHAPTER 36.1Bounded by ResponsibilitiesAH! HINDI KINAYA NI Selene ang tensyon noong tanungin siya ni Lucas kung pwede raw bang maging sila. She panicked! Maybe her brain even short-circuited! Natulala siya sa harap ni Lucas at kahit subukan niyang ipunin ang tindig para isalba ang sitwasyon, wala siyang nasabi na kahit ano. But she doesn’t want to reject Lucas because she knew that she likes him, too.... But then again, will it work? Will their relationship last if they have different interests?They’re living two different worlds and have different aspirations. Lucas wanted to rule Vintress Kingdom because it’s his responsibility and he wanted to serve their country. While all Selene wanted was to live quietly without being bounded by the responsibilities of bearing the Griego name or the royal blood. Sure, they have the same interests but there’s a huge conflict in dreams— still, Selene wanted to go out with Lucas. She just had no courage to respond when he asked and it was too s
Blood and Roses 36.2: Clearing Misunderstandings
Chapter 36.2Clearing MisunderstandingsSELENE DOESN’T LIKE how Lucas had been glaring at her. Gusto niya itong awayin at pagsabihan dahil hindi maganda ang pakiramdam niya sa pagtitig nito lalo na’t wala naman siyang ginawa sa binata. Noong nag-usap sila kahapon, ito mismo ang maayos na nag-dismiss ng tungkol sa pag-amin nito. Ang sabi ni Lucas, kahit daw pag-isipan muna niya. Then, what’s with the long face?Ayos lang din sana kung sa hapagkainan lamang pero dahil natali si Selene kay Lucas—pinasasama siya sa mga klase nito at bilang kuryoso rin siya’t gustong matuto dahil hindi naman siya naka-graduate sa eskwelahang pinapasukan noon—sumama siya sa binata. Pero buong oras na naglalakad sila, wala itong ginawa kung hindi ang pasadahan siya ng tingin, pangunutan ng noo, ‘tsaka ito bubuntong hininga. Kung umasta si Lucas, para nitong karga ang buong mundo.And after two subjects... After two subjects, she finally mustered the courage to confront Lucas.“May problema ba tayo?” medyo pa
Blood and Roses 36.3: Eyes of Judgment
CHAPTER 36.3Eyes of JudgmentMAYBE SELENE SHOULD’VE listened to Lucas when he told her that she should’ve refused King Alexander’s suggestion to hang out and have a vacation to accompany Lucas so that he could donate and help people in need and stuck after a typhoon struck them. If only she had listened to him, then they wouldn’t be stuck in a situation where a child pulled her cape down and accidentally revealed her identity.Hence the start of another rumor whereas Lucas Sutcliffe would be engaging into another political marriage but this time, with Izquierdo Kingdom’s long lost princess. Her, Selene Griego.Malalim ang buntong hininga na pinakawalan ni Selene noong oras na makabalik siya sa tent para magpahinga. Hindi niya kinaya ang kaganapan sa labas lalo na ay samu’t saring tingin ang natanggap niya mula sa mga mamamayan. Maraming aprubado at suporta sa posibleng kasal daw nila ni Lucas pero mayroon din namang may ayaw dahil hindi na raw siya Prinsesa at paniguradong wala siyan
Blood and Roses 36.4: Sunset Proposal
CHAPTER 36.4Sunset ProposalDESPITE THE PROBLEMS that they encountered after donating to the evacuees, Lucas and Selene moved on and decided on where should they go during their vacation. Naisip ni Lucas na pumunta sila sa kalapit probinsya dahil kahit na tinamaan din iyon ng bagyo, hindi naman malala ang naging pagkasira roon. Magdu-donate lang din sila sandali pero pagkatapos noon ay mamamasyal sila ni Selene. That province is a lot quieter too, so Lucas would like to assume that they’ll enjoy a peaceful and harmonious vacation.Habang nasa kotse sila, hindi maiwasan ni Lucas na mapatitig kay Selene habang nakamasid ito sa labas ng sasakyan at pinagmamasdan ang maganda’t maaliwalas na senaryo sa labas nila. Dahil iba ang atmospera sa probinsya kung ikukumpara sa siyudad, mas preskong tignan ang kapaligiran dito. Selene looked relaxed while staring out the window, too. Ang sarap pagmasdan ng dalaga—but that’s not the reason why Lucas was watching her intently!May kung ano sa mga ma
