Lahat ng Kabanata ng Roses and Wars: Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 7

Every day was so similar. Every day was the same. Every day I loved what and whom I couldn't have. I adored the emotions that I could not feel but, Oh, the love that shall last forever, have yourself my blessings for I may never conquer the true definition of love. "Why did you kill my father?!, yelled King Louis. Hands slammed onto the elite and fancy table that had separated the two from ripping one another’s throats out. With slow, steady, and agitating steps, king Jordan fixed his tux and walked over to the chimney lit up with fire, and after admiring the designs and architecture of his own castle as if he had never seen it before which had caused Louis to Boil in anger as he anticipated for his reply. Both the crown-headed men were fuming in anger as Louis wanted the reason for Jordan to kill his fa

I woke up to the voice of Mrs.Hanzah as the bright rays of the sunshine passed through the curtains and into my eyes. Groaning, I took the duvet off me and saw Mrs.Hanzah softly smiling at me. “Get up Arah, today is a special day.” “Hmm?” Clearly confused, I sat upright, and with a heavy voice, I asked, “Why? What is there to be special for me today?” Her smile got even brighter as she replied sweetly, “Your father has requested your presence at the main hall, so, we have to get you all dolled up. Hurry up now, you already woke up quite late.” Nodding my head in agreement I started to wonder why father has requested my presence today. It has been a month since the incident of me trying to find a way to get out of this wrecked facility, and I have been avoiding him ever since. Getting back on my feet, I made my way towards the bath where a few other maids were waiting for me already as the intoxicating smell of roses became a part of th

I remember that I had fallen asleep while crying after writing a little bit of my plan for running away.I woke up to see that Mrs.Hanzah was not there to get me ready but a few other of my lady servants were.One of them was coming closer to me as her dress was quite stiff, not moving an inch from the fast wind that was passing through from the open windows of mine. She had a white magnificent gown of mine in her hands which she put down on the bed. "Princess Arah, the others will lead you to the bath, please follow them, your highness."I saw one of the other maids coming closer to me and making hand gestures for me to follow them.I got towards the with one of the maids following behind.As I put one of my feet inside of the warm and welcoming water filled with the petals of the beloved and most beautiful rose.I sometimes wonder why it has so much love being given to it. It is so imperfect, yet that is its perfection just like all of us-

“What is happening here?”The sharp sound of metal falling to the ground rings loud in my ears. Everyone had dropped their weapons. I look around in confusion as everybody looks ahead. My eyes trail their view until I look at a man dressed in an attire of a royal noble. I know he's here to catch me because of the earlier chaos. I must not let that happen and so, I proceed to leave until a hand grabs mine. My reflexes take the better of me as I twist his hand, freeing mine with ease, and kick him. Seeing the bright chance to run away, I take it. The guards get down with fire raging bright in their eyes and emotionless faces which urge me to run faster. I look to my right and see a narrow opening between their heavy swords and so, I run. I run as fast as I can but I don’t know where I am going, I don’t know.My mind screams with my eyes set ablaze. The rough sound of horseshoes scraping upon the ground and men screaming at me to stop rings wildly in my ears. I turn to my nearest right w
