15.5: Villains
CHAPTER 15.5
VillainsTHE room was dark and quiet, and the air wafting on the atmosphere was suffocating. Despite the bright surroundings, a black and heavy aura emitted from somewhere, presumably from the person at the center of the chamber.
King Xavier sat on his throne, on his knuckles rested his cheek and his eyes were sharp as he stared down the people whom he sent to search for Princess Selene Griego.
"Tell me, what happened?" he sternly asked.
Agitation was evident in his voice and if his piercing gaze could kill, the people kneeling in front of him would have been long dead and bathing in their own blood.
Isang buwan din ang nakalipas nang ipadala ni Haring Xavier si Evette Reti para hanapin ang nawawala at orihinal prinsesa ng Izquierdo. Base sa intel na nahagilap niya mula na rin kay Haring Morfran, kasalukuyang namamalagi ang Prinsesa sa kaharian ng Westmount. Wal

CHAPTER 16.1 The Truth Unfolds "YOU'RE probably wondering why I have not searched for you after all these years since I'm your guardian and you are supposed to grow up beside me, as my foster daughter," Merlin asked as he mixed some chemicals and waited for some sort of a little explosion as soon as the liquids reacted.Selene, on the other hand, stood in front of him and watched the mage do whatever he had to. As soon as she has rested up and felt refreshed, she immediately went to Merlin whom—luckily—stayed at the palace as if he was also waiting for this moment to happen, for this conversation to occur.Nevertheless, Selene pressed her lips and stared intently at the mage who meandered around the palace laboratory, letting him experiment while they converse. She needn't him to stop whatever he was doing since she came at a wrong time, uninvited at that, just as when someone asked Mer
Blood and Roses 16.2: Introductions
CHAPTER 16.2 IntroductionsIT WOULD be a lie if Selene wouldn’t admit that she felt anxious when she saw Lucas outside her room with the most serious face he ever wore since the two of them met. She could clearly recall having a great time on bed, reading the second part of her favorite book which she never got the chance to read when she was still staying in Westmount Kingdom, applauding the power of royalties, when she heard a knock at her door.Noong una, akala ni Selene butler o hindi naman kaya ay maid ang nasa labas ng kwarto niya. Mabilis siyang nag-ayos para papasukin ang mga ito hanggang sa narinig niya ang boses ni Lucas sa labas.The way he sounded stern and stiff made Selene pause. She was even clueless! May ginawa ba siya na hindi niya alam? Aside from reading the books she found in her room’s bookshelf, she still went out and spent some time with Lucas and the King if required. Kung
Blood and Roses 16.3: Threats
CHAPTER 16.3 Threats HINDI lamang sa mga tauhang nasa palasyo ang siyang ipinakilala nina Lucas sa kanya. Bagkus, maging ang mga magiging propesor ni Selene sa pagpapatuloy sa pag-aaral. Though, there were additional teachers for extra subjects that she must learn such as: etiquette. Kinabahan ba siya? Oo naman. Lalo na’t wala namang alam si Selene sa etiquette. Bilang lumaki bilang ordinaryong mamamayan, isang malaking leap ang pagkakaroon ng etiquette teacher. Parang bigla nga siyang nasapak ng katotohanan dahil hindi na siya ang dating Selene Gallenera. Sa halip, kikilalanin na siyang Selene Sutcliffe pansamantala hanggang sa mabawi raw nila ang kaharian ng Izquierdo, kung saan magagamit niya ang orihinal niyang pangalan—Selene Griego. Also... aside from names, the reason why she felt uncomfortable in having an etiquette teacher is because Countess Hussain has been eyeing her from head to toe, as if
Blood and Roses 16.4: Tea Time
CHAPTER 16.4 Tea time "SO you came here just so you could teach Selene how to quench her thirst if ever her episode hits?" Lucas asked in disbelief, his eyes were wide as he placed his cup of tea on the table—although it looked crimson, thus; Selene thinks that it isn't ordinary tea.Humimig si Merlin at tumango. "Naalala kong 'di pamilyar ang Prinsesa sa mga repercussions na kasama ng pagiging bampira. After all, aside from the Hymn, suppressing her memories whenever she'd have her episodes; Selene believed that she's human."Wala ni isa sa kanila ni Lucas ang nakapagsalita. Sa halip, hinayaan lang nila si Merlin na sumimsim ng tsaa at namnamin ang sariwang hangin. Anyway, Selene just didn't know how to react that's why she left all the kob to Lucas. O hindi ba, bigla siyang mayroong spokesperson. Kahit hindi naman talaga siya nag-hire, tini-take advantage niya lang na si Lucas ang masalita ngayon.
Blood and Roses 16.5: Menace
CHAPTER 16.5MenaceANG sabi sa kanya nina Lucas, mayroong dahilan kung bakit si Kontesa Hussaine ang piniling etiquette teacher ni Selene. Apparently, the King wanted to use her as a bait to lure out Countess Hussaine to admitting that she’s being treacherous against the royal family. After all, there had been several rumors whereas the Countess talked shit about the royal family—to which no one really paid attention to but the people who had always been criticizing the Sutcliffe family.As far as Selene has heard, Countess Hussaine was also the cause of several false allegations toward the Sutcliffe family. Their goal was to remove Lucas’ rights as the Crown Prince and find a more ‘suitable’ heir for the throne. Then, Selene also realized that the Hussaine family is a relative of the Sutcliffes—albeit far, they have rights on the throne, thus; the reason why they began attacking Lucas especially during his absence, wh
Blood and Roses 17.1: Uninvited Guest
CHAPTER 17.1 Uninvited Guest “YOU’RE doing great, Princess Selene! That’s the correct stance if you wanted to block an attack from the enemy and take the momentum to jab them on the side so that you could steal their attention,” Chief Knight Lyte complimented her as the lady clapped her hands, obviously satisfied with Selene’s performance. Ayaw mang aminin ni Selene pero noong matapos niyang i-perform ang stance na itinuro sa kanya at mag-ayos siya ng tayo, kinikilig siya sa papuring natanggap. The fact that she’s being complimented by the woman she looks up to felt heavenly, and if she could record this; she’d play her voice everyday through her phone! Parang mas malaki pang achievement ang papuri ni Chief Knight Lyte kaysa sa matanggap ang diploma niya sa kolehiyo! “Ma—Maraming salamat po!” aniya bagamat naghahabol ng hininga’t nagpupunas ng pawis.
Blood and Roses 17.2: Stress and Burdens
CHAPTER 17.2 Stress and Burdens PATUNGO na noon si Selene sa klase niya sa etiquette nang mapansin na nagkukumahog mag-ayos at maglinis ng palasyo ang mga kasambahay. Nagtataka siyang nagmasid sa paligid habang naglalakad sila sa kahabaan ng pasilyo ni Miss Sephare, inaalala niya rin ang mga nangyari kaninang bigla na lamang sumulpot mula sa kung saan si Prinsesa Luan. Saktong pagkatapos din ng training nila kasama si Chief Knight Lyte.“Miss Sephare, ba’t nagkukumahog lahat ng kasambahay?” tanong ni Selene habang minamasdan ang mga kasambahay.Bagamat abala ang mga ito sa ginagawa, lumilingon pa rin sila’t binabati siya. Tumitigil ang mga ito sa ginagawa nang mabigyang pansin lamang siya... na hindi naman nila kailangang gawin kung ginagahol na sila ng oras. Hindi naman matakaw sa pansin si Selene at naiintindihan niya ang mga ito.Samantala, nang lingunin niya si M
Blood and Roses 17.3: The Princess' Favor
CHAPTER 17.3 The Princess’ Favor “GREETINGS to Princess Luan of Izquierdo Kingdom,” Selene spoke to Lucas’ fiancée with the utmost sincerity as she exhibited the basic etiquettes she recently learned from Countess Hussaine.Bagamat bahagya siyang nakayuko at nakapikit ang mga mata, dama ni Selene ang pagkakatitig sa kanya ni Prinsesa Luan. There was this uneasy feeling—disgust and discomfort—and it’s reeking. It was something that Selene would usually feel pressured and tense, considering that Princess Luan is a royalty and her position was gained through a three-day war commenced by betrayal and greed.Meanwhile, Selene is no one but a fallen royalty, only taken in by the King Alexander Sutcliffe to pretend as his illegitimate daughter until they would be able to recoup Izquierdo Kingdom. Of course, it would be done through another war, since the Sutcliffes
