Blood and Roses Fall of Izquierdo
CHAPTER ONE Fall of Izquierdo ㅤTHE air began to stifle and the once harmonious and joyous kingdom became radiant with pure heat – signifying abomination the rebels felt for the vampires who ruled the land. Skycrapers are no longer an eye candy because for the rebels, it was these colossal flames that seemed to reach the heavens. But how could they see it stretch further if smoke covered the skies to obscure the catastrophe in this very ground? “Hide in the forest as we fight against these rebels,” Arthur told her as he cupped her cheeks and placed a chaste kiss on her forehead. Her husband’s hands were warm and despite the growing chaos outside the palace, Arthur’s touch brought comfort to her tingling anxiety. It was midnight when a knight announced that there are rebels who are attempting to disrupt the palace’s peace. Everyone was awoken by the abrupt news and it alarmed everyone – from the servants, knights, and them, the king and queen. Women were tasked to leave the kingdom
Blood and Roses Truth beyond the Mystery
CHAPTER 2Truth beyond the Mystery ㅤSEVERAL years ago, it is widely known that Izquierdo kingdom was one of the most prosperous, powerful, and peaceful kingdom within Xeofarea. However, an unforeseen revolution occurred which caused the vampires and humans who placed their faith upon the royal family’s extermination. A conflagaration between two races happened due to a rumor wherein the king and queen are using the land along with its people to their delectation. There were no proof shown but the townspeople believed what was told to them and Lucas suspects that they trust that individual a lot that it was easy for whoever it was to manipulate crowd. Moreover, the late king, Arthur Griego along with his loyal subjects were annihilated while defending the castle and the innocuous, while the late queen, Erina Griego died in Rutchill woods with an unknown reason – some suspected that she was also killed while some says that she suicided but there were no concrete evidences to prove the
Blood and Roses Merlin the Wizard
CHAPTER 3Merlin the Wizard ㅤTO solve a mystery, first, one must find a key. Apparently, it seems like Lucas had been wandering around the puzzle he’s been trying to solve, prancing around without grasping upon an actual reliable source. Until now, he still can’t believe how his mind over-passed such crucial idea. It was as though the thought jumped over his head, never to be found again, until Jonas and the Hymn of the Moon brought it back in front of him. These two led him to Merlin Kreese, one of the survivors of the tragedy in Izquierdo, an escapee who sought refuge within the premises of Vintress kingdom. His title as the greatest wizard of Izquierdo kingdom no longer holds value. With time, it turned black and white – dull and uninteresting. Moreover, he’s currently residing in the farmlands, living his best life as an ordinary resident whose identity became irrelevant. Now, Merlin is probably spending his time by sitting at the terrace of his house every morning with a cup of
Blood and Roses Purpose
CHAPTER 4 Purpose ㅤAS MERLIN debunked the idea that the previous princess of Izquierdo kingdom was only fictional and was only created to spice up the history of Griego family’s tragedy and of her possible death, Lucas discovered that the spell ‘Hymn of the Moon’ may only sound lame in the ears of those who have not paid too much attention to its details. It turns out that it is something more than a boring spell and it actually deserves its seat as one of the forbidden magics out there. The mere fact that it is a protective spell made things bland but with the added reality of its capabilities – which is to surpress one’s identity to hide the object it was casted upon – Lucas understood why the spell requires a heavy sacrifice. Still, processing all these information may have taken a toll in his mind. “That better be not a joke,” Lucas uttered almost breathlessly. Merlin blinked, amused that despite he had laid out what he knew about the lost princess to fill in Lucas’ curiosity,
Blood and Roses Tightrope
CHAPTER 5Tightrope ㅤ”THE stance that you’re doing isn’t right! I told you to relax your muscles or you might restrain your own movements, Prince Lucas!” the chief knight scolded him, her voice was deep and strict to the point that Lucas can’t help it but to tense and sweat drop, “fix your stance! That’s not how I taught you!” ‘Ah, fuck.’ Who would have thought that today’s training would be hellish? He certainly did not see this coming. The infuriation that seethed through his trainer’s voice as she watched his every moves felt like she’s trying to burn him alive. Not to mention that he’s standing in the middle of the training ground, under the menacing heat wave, feeling his sweat drip down his body, influencing his patience. Lucas was in the middle of training with the chief knight-slash-his trainer, Reina Lyte – who also happens to be Jonas’ mother and the greatest female knight within Vintress kingdom. Since he was unable to attend his training last week when he decided to meet
Blood and Roses Proceeding to the Journey
CHAPTER 6.1 Proceeding to the Journey ㅤLUCAS had never thought of inviting misfortune within their kingdom when he finally tied the knot with Princess Luan from the current Izquierdo kingdom. All he thought was that: if he retreated, kept his mouth shut and instead, defend their territory in ways that only he could by watching the Demelzas carefully, then he could preserve Vintress kingdom’s peace and harmony. This was his chosen way of maintaining balance. Only that it’s a temporary resolution and war is inevitable as the snakes would have bitten him to death if he chooses the easiest path available. With that, his father proved that he’s still unfit for being a leader with such choice. His choices aren’t exactly poor but it’s still lacking, although his father commended him for thinking logically as making friends with their enemies could really help them attain a serene administration. It was just that, peace was never an option. Behind the curtains and beyond the darkness, shad
Blood and Roses Confused
CHAPTER 6.2 Confused ACCORDING to the folder that Duke Louwes handed him during his discussion with his father, the Demelza family is not as perfect as how the newspapers portrayed them—which was something he figured out while reading the articles about them. The folder also contained several issues regarding the neglected citizens of Izquierdo kingdom and the missing properties, sold land, of the entire kingdom right after the reign of Demelza family rose up. Lucas heaved a deep sigh as he read the book about the forbidden spells. He can’t focus in reading, to be honest. He’s trying to learn more about the Hymn of the Moon and the librarian told him that he could only get the book at the Magic Tower. He paid them a visit of course, only to see the head magician who agitated Lucas by saying that he couldn’t borrow the book. “Prince Lucas, reading the book of forbidden spells is a taboo!” was what the elder told him but he reasoned out that he’s studying the spells in order to be aw
Blood and Roses Suspicion
CHAPTER 6.3 Suspicion AS soon as Princess Luan and King Morfran approved of his visit in Izquierdo kingdom, Lucas immediately set off to travel to the place. He also discussed this with his father during their dinner and he approved of his schedule for the day with a reminder to be careful since behind his visit lies an agenda to look for the ‘abandoned place’ where Griego family’s faithful subordinates are kept for execution. “You better not blow up your disguise visit,” was what the king told him back then, “or there would be dispute.” Lucas knew and understood immediately. All he has to do is to act like the ‘good’ fiance before he sneak out to check if the rumours are true. He also brought his strongest knight, Jonas, as well as some other knights who swore loyalty on him and before he left, King Alexander saw him prepare for his departure who blessed him with success. He heaved a sigh as soon as he discerned the gate and the walls of Izquierdo kingdom from afar—it has been lo
