13.3: Before the Banquet
CHAPTER 13.3
Before the Banquet“KA—kailangan ko rin ba talagang matuto na sumayaw? ‘Di ba, sinabi ni Haring Alexander na ‘wag akong makikihalubilo sa mga maharlika?” pag-uusisa ni Selene noong oras na kaladkarin niya ang dalaga sa bakuran upang turuan itong sumayaw.It’s just a random thought that came across his mind. Isa pa, Sabado ngayon at walang pasok ang dalaga sa eskwelahan. Nang magtanong din siya kung mayroon ba itong dadaluhang proyektong panggrupo, sinabi rin ni Selene na wala itong kahit na anong gagawin. So, instead of letting time rot away, Lucas decided to teach Selene how to dance.“Lucas, nakikinig ka ba sa ‘kin?” pag-uusisa ni Selene noong imbes na sumagot siya, tanging pagbaba lamang ng tingin ang ginawa niya at paghawak lamang sa baba para ipahiwatig na malalim ang iniisip niya. “Lucas!”Doon lamang tuluyang nahugot mula sa mKaugnay na kabanata
Blood and Roses 13.4: Fear and Worries
CHAPTER 13.4 Fear and Worries THEY had someone teach Selene proper etiquette. Hindi isa sa mga kasama ni Lucas kung hindi ibang guro na siyang nakakausap lamang ni Selene gamit ang communication crystal. Dahil gahol na sila sa oras at matinding pananala rin ang dinaanan ng mga posibleng kandidato para turuan siya, strikto at naging mabilis ang pagtururo sa kanya. She didn’t mind but at the same time, she finds each lesson troublesome. “I had it tough when I was younger too,” Lucas shared when they went out to the market, in complete disguise, so that they could buy groceries. Kasama pa rin nila sina Jonas ngunit nagbabantay ang mga ito sa paligid. Naramdaman din ni Lucas ang presensya ng mga ito ngunit hinayaan na lamang ng binata. Nag-aalala lang daw ang mga ito dahil pareho silang galing sa royal family—though, Selene’s family has long fallen, the Knights made sure to treat her with the same
Blood and Roses 13.5: Night of the Banquet
CHAPTER 13.5 Night of the Banquet SELENE was extremely uncomfortable as several helpers lent a hand to help her wear the dress she chose for the banquet. She had been sweat dropping, deliberately feeling the anxiety and pressure crippling from somewhere behind her. Although, no one has uttered a word to insult her, Selene felt the scrutinizing gazes she received. It’s hard not to miss it. Especially when the helpers made it obvious despite them, hiding it through layers of façade and a fake smile. “Ang ganda-ganda niyo po!” Ganito ang madalas na naririnig niyang papuri mula sa mga tumulong sa kanyang magbihis. Nagpumilit si Selene na ngumiti upang ipabatid na ‘masaya’ siya sa ginawa ng mga itong pagtulong pero sa kaloob-looban niya, nasusuka siyang umaktong mabait sa mga ito. It’s hard being the lost princess of a fallen family. Bago pa dumating ang mga tum
Blood and Roses 14.1: Unexpected Encounter
CHAPTER 14.1 Unexpected Encounter THE air feels tight, she’s suffocating. No matter how spacious, glorious, or fabulous the venue of the celebration is, she couldn’t hide from the tension and unfamiliarity that the place offers. There was no such thing as comfort, and now that she’s able to step in to this place and get a glimpse of the nobles’ lives, Selene finds it understandable that Lucas called such banquet a headache. Selene secretly thanked the mask she wore and the fan she used to hide her face. After all, the frown painted across her face was something beyond a painter’s skill. No one would be able to put it in a canvas. No matter how she looked around and witness the people faking their joy and enthusiasm, Selene could see through their lies. Suddenly, it was as if the bright and glorious venue was embraced by a dark and menacing aura. Threats are around so she can’
Blood and Roses 14.2: Dreadful End
CHAPTER 14.2 Dreadful End A SIGH escaped from Jonas’ lips as he finally found the City Knights that Prince Lucas told him to fetch. To be honest, he didn’t want to do them dirty, but they’ve unknowingly pestered royalty, thus; even though he may deem the idea of death unbefitting and too much for these tormenting knights, he immediately nodded his head and obliged when Lucas instructed him what to do.The City Knights, especially that Captain Perez, amidst the celebration whereas they must stay alert to elude any trouble— have been causing the ‘trouble’ themselves.‘Such a pain in the ass. Kaya ‘di ko masisi si Prinsipe Lucas na gusto niyang iligpit ang mga ito ngayong gabi e,’ ani Jonas sa isipan habang tahimik na pinagmamasdan ang mga kabalyero.Sabi sa kanya ng Prinsipe, maging maingat siya. Maluwang naman ang seguridad ngayo
Blood and Roses 14.3: Burdensome Encounter
CHAPTER 14.3 Burdensome Encounter “DUMATING na ang Mahal na Hari at ang Mahal na Prinsipe!” Ito ang naging anunsyo ng isa sa mga guwardiya na siyang dahilan upang may magsimulang mga agam-agam.Kanina, walang pakialam si Selene sa mga pinag-uusapan ng mga ito ngunit kalaunan, hindi talaga maiiwasang may marinig si Selene. Isa sa mga ito ay kung gaanong nakakapanliit ang presensya ng Hari, ang iba naman ay usapan tungkol kay Prinsipe Zeno— na siyang ikalawang opsyon lang naman daw bilang namatay ang nakatatanda nitong kapatid at ang dating nakatakdang tagapagmana ng korona sa giyera na pinuntahan nito.Sa pagkakaalala ni Selene, isa nga ito sa mga naging sikat na usapan noong hindi pa niya alam ang tunay niyang pagkakakilanlan.Ang Westmount Kingdom e ang kahariang may kakaibang patron. Hm, kung ang kaharian ng Vintress, Ellesmere, at Izquierdo e binabantayan ng mga deity o
Blood and Roses 14.4: Departure
CHAPTER 14.4 DepartureIT WOULD be a lie if they’d say that they weren’t rushing to escape from Westmount Kingdom as soon as the celebration was over. After all, an unexpected variable—a problem arose which made Lucas panic and his thoughts immediately went disarray.“Make sure to assist Princess Selene back in the car and make sure that no one notices her!” he instructed to his remaining knights, a hiss even escaped from his lips.Napasapo si Lucas ng noo at marahang hinilot ang sentido. Hindi niya alam na magiging komosyon din pala ang pag-alis nila rito sa kaharian— lalo na at alam talaga ni Haring Xavier ang tungkol kay Prinsesa Selene.Although, that ruthless man only mentioned it vaguely during the party, it was still implied that a ‘thorn from the past’ survived and was now taking refuge somewhere.Alam ni Lucas
Blood and Roses 14.5: Guardian
CHAPTER 14.5 Guardian“PALAGI bang gano’n si Prinsesa Luan kay Lucas?” pag-uusisa ni Selene dala ng kuryosidad at pag-aalala.Humimig si Miss Sephare at bumuntong hininga. “Base sa mga madalas naming makita t’wing bumibisita si Prinsesa Luan sa kaharian ng Vintress, oo. She’s extremely possessive and presumably obsessed toward Prince Lucas.”Kanina noong pauwi na sila galing sa selebrasyon, nagulat si Selene noong makatanggap ng balitang sinusundan sila ng sasakyan ni Prinsesa Luan at ipinapatigil ang behikulo nila. Akala ni Selene, walang problema at iisa lang ang route na dadaanan nila, ngunit nang marinig kay Miss Sephare na hindi dumaraan dito ang behikulo ng Prinsesa, kumabog ang dibdib ni Selene.Selene couldn’t describe how nervous she was, thinking that the Princess found out about her identity. Other than that, when they finally stoppe
Blood and Roses 15.1: Contagious
Chapter 15.1 Contagious“GUSTO kong sagutin lahat ng tanong mo sa isang bagsakan, Prinsesa Selene ngunit ‘di ito ang magandang lugar para i-entertain ang kuryosidad mo,” ani Merlin nang puntahan niya ito sa tent nito dahil marami siyang gustong malaman.Sa kasalukuyan, dahil malayo ang byahe pabalik sa kaharian ng Vintress, nagka-camp sila. Westmount Kingdom ang pinakamalayo sa kaharian ng Vintress dahil tila ba magkabilang dulo ang mga teritoryo. Kahit na nakasasakyan sila, hindi pa rin maiiwasang abutan ng gabi sa daan. Ayaw din nilang i-risk ang pagbyahe ng gabi dahil mga ganoong oras pinakaaktibo ang mga magnanakaw at rebelde.And whenever they would camp, Merlin would always use magic to create tents for them. But of course, his tent was just as bigger as hers and Lucas’ tent. After all, it was said that he has several ongoing experiments and jobs to do— and Selene could af
