Lahat ng Kabanata ng Vermillion Haze (Red Riding Hood Series): Kabanata 81 - Kabanata 90

The lunchtime we had yesterday was terrible. Everyone at the table lost their appetite because of Lady Amara."Goodness. Why did you invite her here, Zen?"Riftan glared at him. "She invited herself over.""Why did you agree to be her escort? It's like you're doing her a favor.""Whatever, you're going to be stuck with her, and I won't even help you out. Ruby and I are gonna have our idea of fun.""You're too paranoid." Riftan closed his eyes and lay against his chair. "I imagine your head must be growing flowers because you're partners with the assassin."The displeasure can be seen in Riftan's eyes. "I find it strange that you agreed to their invitation this year, Zen.""Well, somebody wanted to go."Dreyar's eyes shifted to mine. I gave him a grin and scratched my head. "I just wanted to see how Lady Stella is doing."Riftan stood and pulled away from the table. We all lifted our heads to him as he fixed his clothes, preparing to leave. He seemed pissed, and I couldn't tell to who

Soft, clanging of bells and the tranquil melody of music played in the air as Lady Stella of the East twirled on the dancefloor like a beautiful princess with her puffy dress. A big smile was plastered on her face as her husband caught her every time she attempted to fall.Zephyl made sure Stella would not hit the floor. She was very lively and playful. I didn’t even know that she loved to dance. Seeing that new side of her made me think that perhaps even her husband hadn’t truly known her all that much. He had been so immersed in his sense of duty that he had forgotten his obligations as her partner.And now on their anniversary, he wanted to make it extra special to make up for all his lacks."Zephyl?" Stella looked at him with worried eyes as the song ended. "Are you alright?"The alpha casted a smile at her and kissed her forehead. "I am.""You look like you were in deep thought. Is something bothering you?"Something was indeed bothering Zephyl.His wife's safety.The last time t

RUBY VERMILLIONI cradled Stella in my arms as she started to cry. She felt terrible when she crossed words with Amara earlier, and honestly, I felt bad for her, and for Amara too. Both of them are strong Lunas for defending one's beliefs. I just don't think Amara is on the right path for what she believed in.I sighed. "I know that you are feeling a little bit bitter about it. But trust me when I say that people get retribution. There is a given punishment for every wrong deed."Somehow, my statement pricked me quite a bit.A punishment for every wrong deed.All of a sudden the whispering around us stopped and the sound of chair moving filled the air. We all spun our heads to look back, only to see Riftan and his group of Alphas approaching our table.I literally froze in fear. Stella wiped her eyes and composed herself, while Linda stood up to offer her chair as an extra for them to sit. She then stood beside Vale, who was reading a book with us.I stared at Riftan, who in return st

The maids helped me with my suit as they clipped the belts around my waist and around my chest in a crossing style. I have complained to Satelnos about my clothes being too heavy, but he told me that the armor was much needed if I were to venture into the Northern Highlands. Beside me was Vale, who was being clothed well by Linda. The Beta gave me a look and raised his eyebrows. "What?""N-Nothing." I looked away and pretended to fix the flow of my crimson cloak.Linda leaned against Vale and whispered something that I could hear very clearly. "She's probably wondering where Lord Riftan is. Teehee!""N-No I wasn't!" I"We believe that you'll return momentarily after you're done with this. You don't have to say goodbye to him. Youll be together in no time-""T-That's not what I-" I protested, as the burning feeling pooled across my cheeks. Ugh. Why is this teasing getting into me?"What seems to be the commotion here?" a cold, familiar voice said from behind. I saw his shadow loom befo

As promised, Vale took me to see the faunas today.At first, I thought he was kidding about the biting berries because he was smirking when he showed me the way, but when I saw it myself, my eyes widened so much that I forgot to blink for a minute. At this very moment, I found something rather strange about the biodiversity of these forests. The complexity of their evolvement baffled me!I mean, who wouldn't after seeing scrumptious, juicy-looking berries that would display their sharp fangs when you reach in to touch!I almost lost a finger today. Thank goodness Vale pulled me back before the berries munched on it!"Can we have these berries this evening? We only ate meat these days. Back in Riftan's base, we used to have desserts~" I pouted.Vale heaved a sigh and slashed the berries' stems. The berries squealed their death cry before wilting to the ground. Amber-like oil was secreted from its roots."Let's have a venomous dessert this evening, then. It's a once-in-a-lifetime experi
