Blood and Roses 37.2: Unwanted Companion
CHAPTER 37.2Unwanted CompanionPIKIT ANG MGA MATANG nagtitimpi si Lucas habang pinakikinggan si Merlin na makipag-usap kay Selene. Matapos mag-aya ng dalaga na gusto raw nitong magtsaa raw sila sa parte ng hardin na una nitong ipinaayos. Kumikibot na ang isang kilay niya noong patuloy na magsalita ang mahiko patungkol sa mga narating nito sa buhay at ang mga bagay na natapos nito sa loob ng dalawang linggong pagkawala ni Selene.Maging ang ‘verdict’ na ipinapataw nito sa dating Hari na si Morfran Demelza at sa dating Prinsesa Luan, hindi tumigil si Merlin sa pagkukwento hanggang sa mabanggit nito ang mga maharlikang patuloy na sumusuporta sa mga Demelza. Of course, Merlin was backed up by the remaining vampire nobles either. Those who played their games safely by remaining neutral and keeping their mouths shut. Kaya mabilis na naka-recover ang kaharian ng Izquierdo dahil maraming tumulong kay Merlin.“Merlin...” Selene trailed off. Her voice still sounded normal, as if there wasn’t a
Blood and Roses 37.3: Morfran’s Escape
CHAPTER 37.3Morfran’s EscapeTHERE WAS A HUGE problem two days after they spoke about the previous King, Morfran Demelza. One that even Lucas hadn’t surprised to happen since Izquierdo Kingdom has regained its Princess and its previously lost army.Maybe one of them accidentally manifested for an accident to happen, or the universe just chose to orchestrate another problem for them to get stressed. Witherway, Lucas would love to have a sip of some blood right now since he has a bad feeling about how this day would escalate.“Haring Merlin, mayroon tayong problema!” Ito ang klase ng bungad na sinabi sa kanila ng isa sa mga kawal na noo’y naghihikaos huminga.And he’s right. He doesn’t have a gut feeling but everything just didn’t sit right since he woke up. And there it is, the problem. Shít.Nasa silid-aralan sila noon nina Merlin at Selene, nag-uusap usap kung paano ba mas mapapabuti ang pagpapatakbo sa kaharian ng Izquierdo gayong katatapos lamang ng giyera at kababawi lamang nila
Blood and Roses 37.4: The Search
Chapter 37.4The SearchNOONG BUMALIK SI Merlin sa tabi nila, hindi maganda ang itsura ng mahiko. He looked pale, stressed, and problematic. As if a bucket of problem was just poured on his head – and maybe that was really the case, given how the situation unfolded in front of them when they least expected it. Mukhang hindi maganda ang naging resulta ng imbestigasyon at maging si Selene na noo’y nananahimik lamang, tila ba hindi natutuwa sa kung anong maririnig nito.Because when Lucas took a glimpse over to her direction, she looked as if she’s expecting nothing but a bad news – and it’ll forever irk her. Natatakot siya para kay Merlin pero sigurado rin si Lucas na hindi aawayin ng dalaga ang mahiko lalo na’t mabilis itong nag-participate sa imbestigasyon ng pagkawala ni Morfran Demelza.“Kumusta?” simpleng tanong ni Selene rito. Her voice sounded stern and it hinted agitation – lack of patience, probably. But she kept quiet after asking a one-word question. She just crossed her arms
Blood and Roses 37.5: The Last String
CHAPTER 37.5The Last String“THEY REFUSED THE order to investigate them, didn’t they?” was what Selene told them as she approached them.Parehong nagulat sina Lucas at Merlin noon. Hindi nila alam pareho kung paanong nakarating ang balita sa dalaga at kung paano nito nalamang mayroong dumating na sulat mula sa Magic Tower samantalang mahigpit nila iyong itinago rito. They even found a safe spot around the gazeebo to discuss their next step since they didn’t want the last string to be triggered – Selene, but it seems like... She found out the plan.Masama ang tinging itinapon sa kanila ng dalaga at pareho silang nag-iwas ng mga mata mula rito. He even distanced himself from Merlin. Wala siyang planong umaktong inosente dahil lalabas at lalabas din ang katotohanang guilty sila pareho ng mahiko pero kung mayroong magpapaliwanag, mas maganda kung si Merlin.Ayaw niyang kaaway si Selene.“Ma—Mahal na Prinsesa! Anong ginagawa mo rito?” kabadong tanong ni Merlin kay Selene ‘tsaka nito mabil
Blood and Roses 38.1: Madness
CHAPTER 38.1MadnessTHEY MIGHT HAVE lowered their guards down. Lucas did not really catch up after Selene opened the door that leads to the Grand Magus’ room. But for as long as he can remember, dark magic began to get released from that cursed room after Selene busted that door open after it’s been locked. Muntik pang mahila roon si Selene, she was supposed to be engulfed. Ngunit mabilis na nahabol ni Lucas ang dalaga’t nahila ito mula sa awrang humihila rito.“Ayos ka lang ba?!” natatarantang tanong ni Lucas sa dalaga. Dinala niya ito sa parte ng pasilyo kung saan ang palagay niya’y ligtas silang dalawa.Meanwhile, Selene looked surprised. Maging ito ay hindi inaasahan kung anong bumati sa kanila. “I didn’t expect them to be this... desperate.”“That’s not the problem right now. We have to get out of this place, Selene.”“What? Pero nasa loob si Morfran Demelza at ang Grand Magus!”“Don’t be stubborn! You’ve been like this for the past few days! Alam kong natutuliro ka’t nag-aalala
Blood and Roses 38.2: Led to Nothing
CHAPTER 38.2Clues Led to NothingBAGO PA MAN sila makalapit sa kwartong dapat ay kinaroroonan ng dating Haring Morfran Demelza at ang kasalukuyang Grand Magus, tila ba mayroong nag-flash o click na mabilis – at sa isang iglap lamang, nawala ang presensya ng dalawa.Pareho silang natigilan noon ni Selene at nagkatinginan. Parehong gulat at biglang kinabahan sa nangyari. Then, they rushed to the room alongside with other knights. Kaso pagdating nila sa kwartong kinaroroonan ng mga ito, ang tanging nakita lamang nila ay ang buong skeleton ng mga mahiko’t hindi na nailigtas na kawal sa sahig, nakakalat.It was as if the Grand Magus’ magic ate their flesh and left nothing but bones.“They teleported,” Selene muttered in a hushed voice but the anxiety was hinted in her tone of speaking.Napalunok si Lucas at bagamat gusto niyang i-cheer up ang dalaga, malinaw pa sa malinaw, kahit anong lingon ni Lucas sa kapaligiran ay wala na talaga ang dalawa. Ni bakas ng presensya ng mga ito, maliit na
Blood and Roses 38.3: Surprise Attack
CHAPTER 38.3Surprise AttackAFTER THREE DAYS, Selene did manage to prove him that she’ll be alright by her own. Sa totoo lang, nagulat din siya. Inaasahan niya kasing malakas pa rin ang magiging impluwensya ng emosyon sa mga desisyon nito. But it’s good to know that she’s finally treking the right path and that she’s being rational again.“Maybe seeing me half-naked did really help,” panunudyo niya kay Selene habang magkasama silang nag-uusap sa harapan ng kotseng sasakyan niya.Selene and Merlin will be sending him off along with the knights that King Alexander sent so that they could ensure his safety. Although, there’s really no need for such extreme measures and his knights could stay here for a while, Merlin suggested that they could just send a new troupe as soon as he returned safely to the Kingdom of Vintress.Sa huli ay wala siyang nagawa kung hindi ang sumunod. Dahil nga Black Mage ang kaalyado ni Morfran Demelza nitong nakaraan, natatakot sina Merlin at Selene na baka bigl
Blood and Roses 38.4: Abducted
CHAPTER 38.4AbductedTHE KINGDOM WAS in a chaos after the news about Prince Lucas Sutcliffe of the Vintress Kingdom was reportedly missing. It was just by chance when Selene and Merlin found out and the news had spread like wildfire even among all Four Kingdom along with the news that Morfran Demelza was behind this scheme. It was only after a group of merchant found the Prince’s vehicle partially destroyed and his companions were all passed out or dead.The only survivors were Lucas’ personal knights and the driver but it’s difficult to say that they didn’t suffer from any serious injuries. It just so happened that help arrived on time and they were managed to get saved.Still... Lucas’ body can’t be found anywhere.And this enraged even King Alexander who immediately requested – no, insisted – to visit the Kingdom of Izquierdo as soon as possible to help find his son.“Pakiramdam ko galit ka talaga sa ‘kin dahil sa nangyari,” ani Merlin sa communication crystal.Kausap noon ng mahi
