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
Blood and Roses 17.4: Frustration
CHAPTER 17.4Frustration“DAHIL sa ginawa ni Kontesa Hussaine, napukaw mo pa ang atensyon ni Prinsesa Luan na ‘di naman dapat. Now, she’ll probably investigate your identity. The fact that your name is Selene and that you arrived in the palace the same time I arrived from my expedition would make it all suspicious!” nasisiphayong sabi ni Lucas habang naghahapunan sila.Pinanood ni Selene na manggalaiti ang binata at magngitngit ang mga ngipin habang padabog na hinihiwa ang karne sa pagkain nito. Ngunit wala ni hi o ho itong narinig mula kay Selene. Nanatili lamang siyang nanonood sa binata dahil alam niya, wala naman siyang masasabing kahit na anong pampalubag loob.Hindi nagtagal, pinasadahan din ng tingin ni Selene si Haring Alexander na noon ay nakatingin lamang din sa kawalan at tahimik na kumakain. Tila ba sa mga pagkakataong iyon e malalim ang iniisip nito.Um. S
Blood and Roses 17.5: Lacking
CHAPTER 17.5 LackingWHEN Chief Knight Lyte mentioned that she will delay their swordmanship lesson, Lucas had never really taken it to the heart, thinking that she was just in a bad mood and that she'll still proceed if Lucas pretended to find the answer to what's "lacking" in him. However, when he and Jonas went to the training grounds earlier than usual to wait for both the Chief Knight and Princess Selene, Chief Knight Lyte wasn't there.He tried to search for her, even checking on the other knights just in case Chief Knight Lyte was training someone else before them. However, Lucas couldn't get a glimpse of her anywhere—she's nowhere and he couldn't help it but to be just... confused."Prinsipe Lucas, hinahanap mo ba si Mama?" pag-uusisa ni Jonas ngunit nang matanto nito ang sinabi, tumikhim ang binata. "Ibig kong sabihin, si Chief Knight Lyte."Tipid siyang tumango at ni
Blood and Roses 18.1: Answers
CHAPTER 18.1 AnswersKUNOT NOONG pinagmamasdan ni Lucas si Selene habang naghahabol ng hininga ang dalaga. Hawak pa rin nito ang kahoy na espada at naka-stance pa rin samantalang si Lucas ay relaxed nang hawak sa tagiliran ang kahoy na espada niya. Kalaunan, ipinilig ni Lucas ang ulo bago siya napabuntong hininga.Hanggang ngayon, hindi niya maintindihan kung bakit bigla na lamang nag-aya ng sparring si Selene. Palagay niya, para hindi nito malimutan ang mga natutunan noong huli silang nag-ensayo dahil walang training ngayon. But that idea doesn’t sit right with him. Pakiramdam niya, may kung ano sa ginagawa ni Selene ngayon.Inihanda ni Lucas ang sarili nang hawakan ni Selene gamit ang dalawang kamay ang sandata nito. Habang tahimik niya ring inoobserbahan ang dalaga, alam ni Lucas na naghahanda ito para atakihin siya ngunit sa paglipas ng bawat segundo, wala pa ring ginagawa si Selene kung hindi ang
Blood and Roses 18.2: Report
CHAPTER 18.2 Report“ACCORDING to the intel that I’ve gathered while staying in Vintress Kingdom as per Princess Luan’s wishes, King Alexander recently proclaimed to have an illegitimate daughter named Selene. Based on what I’ve observed, the Princess arrived the same time Prince Lucas returned from his expedition,” was what the knight Princess Luan left to infiltrate Vintress Kingdom reported.Nitong nakaraang bumisita ang anak niya sa Vintress Kingdom, napag-alaman nilang mayroong inampon si Haring Alexander na dalagang nagngangalang ‘Selene’. Wala rin naman sanang kaso at gusto na lamang ipagsakibit balikat ni Morfran ang pagiging overthinker ng anak niya dahil napaka-possessive nito sa Prinsipe ng kahariang iyon, ngunit ngayong siya ang unang nakaririnig ng balita, alam niyang mayroong mali.Napahimig si Morfran sa balita at dinala ang mga daliri niya sa labi.
