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
Blood and Roses 38.5: Trails of Something
CHAPTER 38.5Trails of SomethingLUCAS CAN’T REMEMBER what happened entirely. Just bits by bits and some vague voices that gave him an idea what the conversation could be all about.After he was greeted by an insane Morfran Demelza, Lucas lost his consciousness, but as soon as his body regained the willpower to shake whatever Black Magic was embracing him and he was able to open his eyes ever so slightly, he found himself travelling with Morfran and the supposed ‘Grand Magus’. Out in the woods where he could feel no sense of familiarity.It turns out that he’s abducted, not killed. But he also knew that he’s injured since there stung a pain around his side. Although it’s closing now, healing all by itself, Lucas still found himself uncomfortable with his dampened clothes – possibly from the blood that drew out from his wound.Lihim siyang napamura sa isipan matapos niyang tignan ang buong kapaligiran. Apparently, they’re riding a carrier carriage. Something used to transport and deliv
Blood and Roses 39: Spark
CHAPTER 39.1SparkTHE SEARCH TEAM were doing great at tracking the trails left by Lucas. At some point, there was a time where the ‘vehicle’ that the missing Prince of Vintress Kingdom was going on circles, as if the Grand Magus and Morfran Demelza knew that Lucas was leaving trails of his own blood for them to follow. But at the same time, it only happened once so they assumed the possibility that Morfran and the Grand Magus got lost around the woods.“Haring Alexander, patungo po sa abandonadong bayan malapit dito ang dugo ni Prinsipe Lucas,” report ng isa sa mga kawal ng Vintress.Right, there were two search teams in this mission. A group led by Selene from the Izquierdo Kingdom’s knights and the one who accompanied King Alexander.Ipinilig ni Selene ang ulo at inilipat ang tingin sa kalapit bayan. Ito ang pinag-uusapan nila ni Haring Alexander kanina. Na-raid daw ito noon nang maupo ang mga Demelza bilang bagong namumuno sa kaharian ng Izquierdo. Ikinatatakot daw kasi ng mga ito
