Blood and Roses   34.5: The Thorn Princess
CHAPTER 34.5 The Thorn Princess HINDI MAKAPANIWALANG PINAGMASDAN ni Morfran ang malaki at malawak na hardinâhindi, pader ng rosas sa loob ng kwarto niya. Namimilog ang mga mata niyang pinagmasdan iyon at noong rumehistro sa kanyang si Prinsesa Selene Griego ang may gawa ng pader na iyon na siyang puprotekta sa buong grupo nito ay hindi niya maiwasang manggalaiti sa galit. Ikinuyom niya ang mga kamaoât hinanap ang mga kawal niya. Ngayon niya napagtatantong walang kwenta ang mga ito. Nagawa ng mga itong sugatan si Merlin Kreese, ang pinakamalakas na mahiko at ang posibleng panggalingan ng pagkagaling ng mga natamong sugat nina Prinsesa Selene at Prinsipe Lucas o hindi kayaây dagdag lakas. Pero hindi nila inasahan na magiging bihasa rin sa mahika si Prinsesa Selene at makakayanan nitong gumawa ng malaking pader ng mga rosas para ikubli ang kani-kanilang mga sarili! Marahil ay tinuruan ito ni Merlin. Lalo na, matagal nang magkakasama ang mga ito at para maprotektahan ang sariliây sin

CHAPTER 35.1A Kingâs Frustration WHY IS IT NOT BREAKING? The walls shouldâve been destroyed the moment that Morfranâs knights released all of their strength to ruin the âgardenâ that Princess Selene has created. She shouldnât be this strong and the job should be easy as hĂ©ll. So why is it that nothing goes according to his plans? Morfran hissed and gritted his teeth. He clenched his fists and watched his knights diligently move to destroy the rose wall that Princess Selene built to protect her and her entire team. For some reason, the longer that theyâre staying there, the more it is that he thinks that itâll be his end. âAno bang ginagawa nila sa loob ng pader na âyan? Baât wala pa ring balita sa pagkasira?â naiirita niyang bulong sa sarili. He tried to be patient, to just stand in a corner and watch his own men do the job for him. But as time passed by, he could see that his own knights are getting exhausted but any signs of breaking the rose wall seemed not to exist. Itâs like

CHAPTER 35.2 Retribution, At Last AS SOON AS MERLIN WOKE up from his slumber, he joked about complaining that he had just woken up and yet he had to shoulder a difficult task right away. If not for Chief Knight Lyte who knocked some sense to him, he seemed like he wouldnât remember where they were. Itâs a good thing that the Chief Knight keeps him grounded since when he saw Seleneâs face looking down on him, Merlin immediately stood up and understood his job. âKailangan na nating tapusin âto, Merlin. Nanghihina na ang mga kalaban dahil kanina pa nila tayo inaatake pero wala silang magawa,â panimula niya. Kumunot ang noo ni Merlin habang patuloy nitong hinihimas ang ulo. Bakas ang pagkagulo sa mukha nito hanggang sa mapansin nitong medyo madilim ang kinaroroonan nila. Nang makita nito ang kinaroroonan nila, namilog ang mga mata nito nang rumehistro ritong gumawa siya ng matibay at malaking pader para proteksyunan silang lahat hanggang sa gumaling ito at makapag-isip sila ng plano k

Chapter 35.3 Crushing Dreams THE FEAR IN KING MORFRANâS eyes as he watched Selene descend from the stairs, holding her sword with her eyes screaming that sheâs bloodthirsty and was craving for mĂșrder with its bright crimson color made her feel satisfied. Right, this is the reaction that sheâs been looking for. Something that would allow him to go crazy and this could be it. So, she couldnât contain the smile to curl onto her lips no more. âIs it fear? Is this your worst nightmare? Maybe it is. Kaya nga sobrang desperado kang mawala ako sa landas mo para sa âyo na lang lahat ng dapat ay akin, âdi ba?â she began. Her voice sounded threatening to the point that she might have came like sheâs looking forward to slĂtting his throat. âYou made my life miserable. But I wasnât allowed to know before. I didnât know that my Mom struggled to raise me because you kept on sending assassins and that my background isnât all about rainbows and unicorns.â King Morfran ruined everything from her an

CHAPTER 35.4 End of War AND JUST LIKE THAT, the war has finally come to an end and everyone can rest. Selene, although she didnât appear in front of the mass and allowed Merlin to take over, was introduced to be someone who has helped free Izquierdo Kingdom from the wicked. It was frightening too since most nobles seemed to have rooted for King Morfranâs victory but seeing as to who might betray them later on, Selene asked Merlin to look after the list of nobles who swore loyalty on the previous King. Meanwhile, there were still some neutral and remaining vampire nobles. And fortunately, these nobles just pretended to be neutral but they were only discreetly supporting the Griego family, the lost and fallen royalties. So, upon hearing Seleneâs existence, most of them wanted to meet Selene since sheâs the last Griego and theyâve been hoping for her return. Even the commoners who hoped for salvation wanted to thank her, and the rebels too. But sheâs just too shy and didnât want to r

CHAPTER 35.5 Marriage Proposal BEING ROYALTY ISNâT JUST about luxury and wealth. It isnât about owning a huge land and living in a huge castle with servants. Itâs not about waking up late in the morning and having your breakfast served on the bed nor is it about waltzing in the garden before having tea later on. The day doesnât end on meeting some people for gossip and it isnât about living a lax life without any responsibilities â itâs far from ideal. Being born as royalty also meant a huge responsibility. Selene knew this. Itâs far from the life that she once had with her adoptive mother, Helen. So, even though she hasnât taken any step yet, she knew that sheâll be lacking. She knows that she isnât fit to stand as the ruler of Izquierdo Kingdom. Thatâs why sheâs scared. Selene knew that once she stepped into Izquierdo Kingdom and present herself out in public, she would have to shoulder the burden of owning a huge land with citizens and workers in it. She has to deal with the p

CHAPTER 36.1Bounded by ResponsibilitiesAH! HINDI KINAYA NI Selene ang tensyon noong tanungin siya ni Lucas kung pwede raw bang maging sila. She panicked! Maybe her brain even short-circuited! Natulala siya sa harap ni Lucas at kahit subukan niyang ipunin ang tindig para isalba ang sitwasyon, wala siyang nasabi na kahit ano. But she doesnât want to reject Lucas because she knew that she likes him, too.... But then again, will it work? Will their relationship last if they have different interests?Theyâre living two different worlds and have different aspirations. Lucas wanted to rule Vintress Kingdom because itâs his responsibility and he wanted to serve their country. While all Selene wanted was to live quietly without being bounded by the responsibilities of bearing the Griego name or the royal blood. Sure, they have the same interests but thereâs a huge conflict in dreamsâ still, Selene wanted to go out with Lucas. She just had no courage to respond when he asked and it was too s

Chapter 36.2Clearing MisunderstandingsSELENE DOESNâT LIKE how Lucas had been glaring at her. Gusto niya itong awayin at pagsabihan dahil hindi maganda ang pakiramdam niya sa pagtitig nito lalo naât wala naman siyang ginawa sa binata. Noong nag-usap sila kahapon, ito mismo ang maayos na nag-dismiss ng tungkol sa pag-amin nito. Ang sabi ni Lucas, kahit daw pag-isipan muna niya. Then, whatâs with the long face?Ayos lang din sana kung sa hapagkainan lamang pero dahil natali si Selene kay Lucasâpinasasama siya sa mga klase nito at bilang kuryoso rin siyaât gustong matuto dahil hindi naman siya naka-graduate sa eskwelahang pinapasukan noonâsumama siya sa binata. Pero buong oras na naglalakad sila, wala itong ginawa kung hindi ang pasadahan siya ng tingin, pangunutan ng noo, âtsaka ito bubuntong hininga. Kung umasta si Lucas, para nitong karga ang buong mundo.And after two subjects... After two subjects, she finally mustered the courage to confront Lucas.âMay problema ba tayo?â medyo pa

Blood and Roses   Celebration
CelebrationNANG dumating ang araw ng debut ni Selene, marami ang um-attend. Mula kina Reyna Sara at Prinsipe Eustace, sina Haring Alexander at Prinsipe Lucas, pati na rin ang ngayoây si Haring Zeno.Nagtataka nga si Selene dahil nagkaroon ito ng lakas ng loob na um-attend sa debut ball niya pero ayos lang dahil personal itong humingi ng tawad sa kanya para sa nagawa ng ama nito. The thing was, King Zeno kept mum about his fatherâs greed until he lost âsomeoneâ. Palagay niya, si Sir Clyde iyon dahil kalat na kalat ang tsismis.But as long as he apologized, sheâs good with it.âAre you good?âNatigilan si Selene nang marinig ang boses ni Merlin. Nang lumingon siya, âtsaka niya natagpuan ang mahiko na naglalakad patungo sa kanya. May ngiti sa mga labi nito pero hindi rin naman maikakailang nag-aalala ito.âNakita mo ba si Lucas?â tanong niya.Ipinilig ng mahiko ang ulo. âAh... Kailangan mo ba talaga siyang kausapin tungkol doon ngayon?ââYes. I promised him, remember?âHumigop nang mala
Blood and Roses   Troublesome Preparations
CHAPTER 43.5Troublesome PreparationsLAST WEEK, inanunsyo ni Merlin sa publiko na dalawang buwan mula ngayon ay magaganap ang debut ni Selene sa High Society at sa parehong araw ay kokoronahan ang dalaga bilang ang Crown Princess ng kaharian ng Izquierdo. Nakakagulat dahil mukhang marami ang naghihintay sa kanya at ang selebrasyong inanunsyo ng mahiko ang nagtulak sa lahat na mag-throw ng festival para sa darating na debut niyaât koronasyon.But announcing an important thing comes with a huge responsibility: she and Merlin will be busy planning her debut out and the entire preparation.Mayroon naman silang mga katulong. Tulad na lamang ng pamilyang Valderas na bukod sa pagtuturo sa kanya ng etiquette ay tinuturuan din siya kung paano ba siya magbi-behave habang nagaganap ang selebrasyon. She was also taught how to dance and after thirty minutes, she realized that that was not her strongest asset. Kaya extra-ng atensyon ang ibinubuhos sa kanya dahil bilang Prinsesa ng kaharian, kailan
Blood and Roses   43.4: Debut Preparation
CHAPTER 43.4Debut PreparationBAGAMAT HINDI INTERESADO si Selene na magpakilala sa lahat lalo naât noong una ay wala naman talaga siyang plano na mag-ascend sa trono at pamahalaan ang buong kaharian ng Izquierdo, ngayong nagbago ang desisyon ni Selene sa buhay ay hindi na maiiwasan ang pag-de-debut at pagpapakilala sa publiko.âI donât like the idea of pleasing the noble faction,â was what she told Merlin while they were busy discussing her debut which will happen within two months. âKung pupwede lang natin silang i-out ay iyon ang iri-request ko sa âyo.âNapailing-iling si Merlin sa sinabi niya ngunit mayroong naglalarong ngiti sa mga labi nito. âAlam kong sasabihin mo âyan at pinag-iisipan ko na ring i-filter ang mga imbitasyon pero sinabihan akong âdi pwede. Weâre not persuading them that youâre much worthy than the previous royalties that they wanted to pursue. You just needed to let the entire Kingdom know that youâre no fiction.ââDo they still think that Iâm fake?ââSome of th
Blood and Roses   43.3: Busy
CHAPTER 43.3BusyIT WAS ONLY a week after when Selene received a letter from Lucas. Ang sabi sa liham na natanggap niya, nakauwi raw ito ng ligtas sa kaharian nito ngunit kasabay naman noon ay ang tambak-tambak na gawain at mga dokumento. Natatawa si Selene dahil kalahati yata ng nilalaman ng sulat nito ay puro rants at reklamo tungkol sa trabaho nitong kailangang tapusin sa lalong madaling panahon, pero naaawa rin siya sa binata dahil ang dami nitong dinanas at hindi man lang nito masulit ang bakasyon nito.Then again... His duties would not be this delayed if Morfran Demelza didnât interfere with their homecoming and abducted the Prince of Vintress Kingdom.Mabuti na lang talaga at mabilis ding naresolba ang problema at wala ring masamang nangyari kay Lucas dahil kung hindi, patuloy niyang pahihirapan si Morfran Demelza. But then recently, she has been receiving reports that Luan Demelza had frequently visited the front gates of Izquierdo Kingdom and demanded to talk to her. There
Blood and Roses   43.2: Nonsensical
CHAPTER 43.2NonsensicalâMERLIN, ALAM MO ba kung anong dahilan kung baât nadi-delay ang pagdating ng sulat ko patungo sa kaharian ng Westmount and vice-versa? Natatakot kasi akong baka may bumubukas pa ng liham ko para sa mga kaibigan ko,â tanong ni Selene kay Merlin noong nasa hapagkainan silang dalawa.Parehong ginabi sina Merlin at Selene sa pagtatapos ng mga gawain nila. Merlin had finished his duties and approved some projects to further improve Izquierdo Kingdomâs situation such as budgeting and passing a law beneficial for everyone. Meanwhile, the reason why Selene had finished her duties as soon as the sun had finally set and the nightsky had dominated across the atmosphere was because she enjoyed reading the comparison between the eras of both Demelza family and Griego family. Gumawa pa siya noon ng maiksing summary ng mga nabasa niya.And while itâs true that her parents werenât perfect as King and Queen, one of the sole reasons was because their deaths didnât happen until
Blood and Roses   43.1
CHAPTER 43.1NOONG MALAMAN NI Selene na nakatanggap siya ng sulat mula sa kaharian ng Westmount, na siyang lugar na kinalakhan niyaât mayroon siyang koneksyon, hindi naiwasan ni Selene ang mapangiti. She remembered that she had just recently sent a letter to one of her friends â kaso hindi siya kaagad na nakatanggap ng sagot mula sa mga ito. The thought that she was waiting and a lot has already happened since then makes her feel relieved.Siguro matagal lang talagang dumating ang sulat dahil malayo ang ibiniyahe ng inutusan niyang magdala noon o mayroon ding naging conflict sa kaharian ng Westmount. Thatâs just her estimation, honestly. Ayaw mag-isip ni Selene nang kung anu-ano.After she thought of how long it took to receive a letter from her friends, Selene opened it. She was extra careful because the letter had a dried rose inside it, and she assumed that her friends sent her this to use as a bookmark, perhaps? And thatâs what sheâll do if she ever starts reading another book.As
Blood and Roses   42.5: Family
CHAPTER 42.5FamilyAFTER DISCUSSING MERLINâS relationship with her parents and understanding that they had such a complicated and rough time hiding their romantic feelings toward each other, Selene remembered that one thing that Count Valderas told her about her motherâs roots.âMerlin, nabanggit pala sa âkin ni Konde Valderas na tagakaharian ng Vintress pala si Mama?â pag-uusisa niya habang nasa kalagitnaan sila ng paghahapunan.Matapos nilang mag-usap ni Merlin, nagpahinga sandali si Selene para balikan ang mga dokumentong iniwanan niya. Nawala na sa isipan niya si Lucas at ang pag-alis nito pero sa tuwing mababakante ang isip niya, ito ang una niyang hinahanap kaya minabuti ni Selene na abalahin ang sarili. Mahirap na, baka hindi pa niya maituon ang atensyon sa mga dapat niyang inaasikaso.Susulat din naman si Lucas. Magkakaroon din sila ng contact sa isaât isa.Anyway, pagkatapos ng isang oras ay tinawag si Selene ng isa sa mga personal maids niya para maghapunan. Naghihintay na
Blood and Roses   42.4: Not an Ordinary Relationship
CHAPTER 42.4Not An Ordinary RelationshipFROM THE WINDOW, Selene could witness the sun set and of how the beautiful orange hue was slowly turning into a dark bluish nightsky. Hindi alam ni Selene kung anong oras nang natapos ang klase niya pero base sa kalangitan ay mukhang late na niyang na-settle lahat. It must be because she enjoyed her previous classes or maybe... She was scared to find out the truth about Merlinâs relationship with her parents.Hindi napansin ni Selene na matamang pinagmamasdan pala siya ni Merlin. Napangiti ito noong mapansing parang kabado siya bagamat wala pa naman itong sinasabing katotohanan. But then again, she canât help it! Anong mararamdaman niya sa oras na marinig niyang niloloko pala ng mahiko ang isa sa mga bayolohikal niyang magulang?âDid you seriously think that Iâd have the courage to hurt King Arthur or Queen Erina?â naaaliw nitong tanong. Even amusement danced on his purple eyes which made Selene flinch and pause.Selene pressed her lips togeth
Blood and Roses   42.3: Relationship
CHAPTER 42.3RelationshipDAHIL KAY MERLIN, maraming nalaman si Selene tungkol sa mga magulang niya na hindi nakalagay sa mga libro at dyaryo noon. Nalaman niya kung anong ugali ng mga magulang niya at kung anu-anong kaugalian ba iyong namana niya mula rito.It turned out that Selene looks like her father but mostly behaves like his mother. But the way she deals with things is very much like her father. So, baga sa percentage, mas dominant ang naiwan sa kanya ng tatay niya kaysa sa nanay niya. Bukod kasi sa mata at ugali, mas malapit daw siya sa tatay niya. Parang resulta raw si Selene ng halos perpektong scan pero nagkaiba raw sa kasarian.âAnong relasyon mo kina Mama?â pagtatanong niya sa mahiko kalaunan at para linawin ang tinutukoy ay itinuro niya ang litrato ng bayolohikal niyang ina, si Reyna Erina.Natigilan si Merlin noong marinig ang tanong niya at tila ba naubusan ito bigla ng mga salitang dapat isasagot sa kanya. But sheâs curious. Gusto niyang malaman kung ano ba ang relas
