Blood and Roses 39.3: Déad Eyes
CHAPTER 39.3Déad EyesMATAPOS NILANG MALAMAN na nakita ng mga kawal ang kinaroroonan ni Lucas, mabilis nilang pinuntahan ang direksyong itinuturo ng mga ito. And just like what they said, they found Lucas in the center of this abandoned town, surrounded by debris, sitting on a chair all tied up and seemingly unconscious.“Lucas!” tawag niya sa binata bago siya mabilis na tumakbo patungo rito. Ngunit nang tawagin niya ito, wala man lang naging reaksyon ang binata.Of course, she assumed that this may be a trap but she doesn’t really care right now. Selene even ignored it when King Alexander called her name, stopping her from further approaching his son, knowing that there could be something lying across the ground that she might not see or anything.She also assumed that he was just unconscious when Lucas didn’t notice or respond to her voice. Maybe, Morfran Demelza and the Grand Magus knocked him out before showing him like this.She knew that she should be walking on egg shells, not
Blood and Roses 39.4: Danger
CHAPTER 39.4Danger“IBALIK MO SA ‘kin ang trono at ang buong kaharian ng Izquierdo kung gusto mo ring bumalik si Lucas sa inyo, Selene Griego,” alok ni Morfran Demelza.Selene sweatdropped after finally knowing what was the cost of Lucas’ life and honestly, she expected this much. Kaso tulad ng sinabi niya, hindi niya pwedeng isuko ang kaharian ng Izquierdo para sa haring hindi naman marunong mag-alaga ng teritoryo. The Izquierdo Kingdom she came back to was destroyed, full of discrepancies, discrimination, and prejudice.Lives were destroyed and poverty was a problem the Kingdom and its government neglected. Only the rich were able to enjoy life full of luxury and most of them are even abusing that power, hence why Selene wanted her next move as purging them one by one. She wanted balance although it’ll be a difficult thing to attain.Napalunok siya’t nagbaba ng tingin kay Lucas na noo’y mukhang wala pa rin sa sarili. She clenched her fists and gritted her teeth. Gusto niya itong bu
Blood and Roses 39.5: Raging Storm
CHAPTER 39.5Raging StormTHIS ISN’T WHAT they needed to see. As the previous Grand Magus formed a huge tornado which caught Lucas in the middle as if encaging the man within it so that they wouldn’t be able to do a thing to save him and at the same time, force them to give into their desires, Selene couldn’t help it but to panic even more.Of course she wanted to do something! She wanted to stop this madness and save Lucas! Just like she said, all of this – he doesn’t deserve. Maybe, just maybe, if she didn’t let Lucas leave that day, things would have been different for both of them. She... Underestimated Morfran Demelza and this Grand Magus’ capabilities because she thought that they wouldn’t lay a finger even on a single strand of his hair.“What should we do...?” she whispered to herself until she caught a glimpse of Merlin and King Alexander who seemed to discuss something in a hurry. “Merlin...? Haring Alexander?”Pinasadahan siya ng tingin ng mahiko bago ito ngumiti. Then, he
Blood and Roses 40.1: Towards the Light
CHAPTER 40Towards the LightWHO WOULD HAVE thought that there could be a place darker than black? A place of emptiness and void, where not even the light could shine, a single sound would do nothing but echo until he’s exhausted hearing the very same sound, and his sharp eyes couldn’t see even a glimpse of his own hand.No matter how Lucas turned around to see his surroundings, he could see and hear nothing. It was as though he has been thrown into a place where a single soul wouldn’t be able to survive without going insane. He felt as though he’s castigated and forsaken — hope was just an illusion and there might be no escape to this hellish emptiness.How did he end up here?Sa pagkakaalala ni Lucas, nakikipagtalo siya noon kay Morfran Demelza.Nasa kalagitnaan siya noon ng pang-iinis. Pilit niyang ipinapamukha rito na wala itong kwenta, na gahaman lamang ito’t makasarili, hindi ito magtatagumpay laban kay Selene, at mas lalo lamang itong magiging miserable. It was a heated argumen
Blood and Roses 40.2: Trapped in a Cage
CHAPTER 40.2Trapped in a CageMERLIN HAD ALWAYS thought that dealing with a black magic user would be difficult but never had he ever thought that a mere human could wield such dangerous type of magic. And the fact that the man he’s currently fighting against used to be the Grand Magus of the Magic Tower after he had left the Kingdom? Well, that’s damned. It just proves how much influence and power the Demelza family had over the entire Izquierdo Kingdom.Mukhang hindi rin neutral ang Magic Tower sa pagkakataong ito dahil base pa lamang sa mga naunang kwento nina Prinsesa Selene at Prinsipe Lucas sa kanya, dinipensahan ng buong hukbo ng mga mahiko si Morfran Demelza. Itinakbo rin ng Grand Magus ang dating hari kaya hirap na hirap din silang hanapin ito.Fortunately, there were enough traces for them to find these two. But still... It’s a pain in the ass to go head to head against a mere human who seemed powerful than him because of some cheat.Ha. All of these powerful men and all Mo
Blood and Roses 40.3: Into the Light
CHAPTER 40.3Into the LightGUSTO NIYANG MAKITA ulit si Selene. Gusto niyang punasan ang luha sa mga mata nito at patahanin ito sa pag-iyak. Ayaw niyang makita at marinig na humahagulhol ito tapos siya, walang magawa. Ayaw man niyang aminin pero nasisiphayo siyang hindi niya maikilos ang katawan para sabihin ditong ayos lang ang kalagayan niya’t babalik siya kahit na anong mangyari.She doesn’t need to cry. He’s still here. Naghahanap lang siya ng paraan kung paanong makakabalik sa tabi nito.This feeling is similar to being comatosed but at the same time, it was different. He could see Selene and he could hear every word that she said. He hears and knows everything that was happening around them. Maging ang pagkataranta ng sarili niyang ama at ang pakikipaglaban ni Merlin sa Grand Magus na naglagay sa kanya sa ganitong sitwasyon.Lucas wanted to clench his knuckles but he couldn’t. Hindi niya alam na mas nakakainis na paralisado ang buo niyang katawan kaysa sa makulong sa kawalan.“L
Blood and Roses 40.4: Luck and Karma
CHAPTER 40.4Luck and KarmaMATAPOS NG MGA kabalahubasang lumabas mula sa bibig ng Grand Magus, ang mga pagbabanta nitong kailanma'y hindi na nila ulit makikita si Prinsipe Lucas sapagkat nasa kalagitnaan ng kawalan ang kaluluwa nito't tanging pisikal na katawan na lamang nito ang mababawi nila, tuluyang nawalan ng kontrol sa sarili si Haring Alexander.Mabilis pa sa ala singko nitong binitawan si Morfran Demelza at dali-dali itong sumugod sa Grand Magus. His speed was something not even a word of mouth can compete against. At sa isang kisapmata lamang ay nasa sahig na ang Grand Magus at hawak na ni Haring Alexander ang ulo nito."Alexander!" tawag ni Merlin sa kaibigan at dali-dali itong nilapitan para sana pigilan pero bago pa man niya iyon magawa ay nagbabanta ang mga tinging itinapon sa kanya ng Hari.'Hawakan mo ako o mayroong hindi magandang mangyayari.' Ito ang mga salitang parang pilit sinasabi sa kanya ni Haring Alexander kaya natigilan din si Merlin mula sa paglapit dito at
Blood and Roses 40.5: One More Time
CHAPTER 40.5One More TimeNOONG UNTI-UNTING umayos ang kapaligiran at kumalma ang lahat, ‘tsaka pa lamang kumilos ang mga kawal para siguruhing maayos na ang buong paligid at wala na silang makakasalubong na panibagong problema. Merlin and King Alexander lost their strength since the last encounter with the Grand Magus too, so they were both supported back to the makeshift tent that their men created. Ang pinakamagandang nangyari rito e nawala na sa daan nila ang dating Grand Magus at nasa kamay na ulit nila si Morfran Demelza.“Please make sure that they all rest well,” utos ni Selene sa mga kawal na noo’y tumango. “Keep an eye on Lucas too, please. Baka mamaya, may after-effect pa rin ang mahika ng dating Grand Magus sa katawan niya.”What she fears was that the aftermath might be strong to the point that it would take Lucas away from her. Halos kababalik lamang ng binata sa huwisyo. Noong nawala ang Grand Magus, ‘tsaka lang din bumalik ang binata sa sarili nito. Base rin sa sinasa
