CHAPTER 41.1

Returning to Places

ONLY WHEN SELENE assured that Lucas was full that she only went to where they kept Morfran Demelza. Ilang beses siyang pinigilan ni Lucas dahil hindi naman na raw kailangang puntahan ang lalaki pero para kay Selene, isa ito sa mga magagandang oras para pahirapan ito. In the end, Lucas had let her go and allowed her to do what she wanted but she has to be careful since... There could still be some possible backlash from being associated with the previous Grand Magus.

Of course, Selene listened to Lucas. Nag-aalala lang naman ang binata sa kanya. Ang siyang dumaan lang yata sa tenga niya at lumabas sa kabila ay iyong sinabi nitong tawagin ito kung sakaling may hindi umayon sa mga plano niya. That’s impossible. This guy, Morfran Demelza, was now helpless and the only comrade that helped him get out of prison has already passed.

When Selene approached the underground basement, she found two knights guarding it. One of which is Sir Guischard who volunteered

    CHAPTER 41.2All Planned Out“WAS SOMETHING WRONG with my son a while ago? You were insisting on checking him up and ‘clearing’ the traces left by black magic. Was he badly affected?”Ang dami naman nitong tanong samantalang kauupo pa lamang niya sa dining table. Nginitian ni Merlin si Haring Alexander na noo’y nagtataka naman siyang tinititigan. Mukhang bothered din ito sa paraan ng pagngiti niya rito dahil napalunok pa ito kaya kalaunan, natawa rin siya nang malakas. He doesn’t want to appear like he is making fun of the Sutcliffes but it’s amusing to see them nervous. Kahit si Lucas na noo’y sabihan niyang may naiwanan pang bakas ng itim na mahika sa katawan, kinabahan at nagtanong kung posible raw bang nasaktan nito si Selene kanina.There is a possibility, though. And it’s quite the big deal either if Prince Lucas wasn’t able to control himself.Kumunot ang noo ni Haring Alexander. “H’wag mo ‘kong tawanan. Henuwino akong kuryoso tungkol sa kalagayan ng anak ko, Merlin.”“Alam ko

Nagpahinga lamang sila sandali dahil medyo malaking toll din ang nangyari kay Lucas, Merlin, at Haring Alexander matapos harapin ang Grand Magus na noo’y kumukontrol pala ng itim na mahika. Lalo na si Lucas, mas kailangan ng binata na magpahinga dahil ito ang pinaka naapektuhan noong nakuha ito nina Morfran Demelza at ng Grand Magus. Mayroon pa ngang naiwang impluwensya ng itim na mahika sa katawan nito at kung hindi lamang ito nasabihan ni Selene na lumapit kay Merlin para magpatingin, baka mayroon na naman silang bagong kalbaryong kahaharapin.“I was almost about to attack you that day. Kaya mo ba ‘ko pinapaalis dahil alam mong may naiwan pa ring trace sa ‘kin ng itim na mahika? Na may nakakapit pa rin sa katawan ko?” pag-uusisa ni Lucas sa kanya.Nasa sasakyan sila noon ngunit nakabukod kina Merlin at Haring Alexander. A

The previous Grand Magus of Izquierdo Kingdom, although he died after being unable to handle his own strength, was declared to díe in the hands of both Merlin and King Alexander. While Morfran’s whereabouts was kept as a secret. They only told the public that even he was unable to survive after going against her and abducting Prince Lucas.Only the knights they’ve brought to retrieve Prince Lucas knows where the previous King is and based on his own appearance and the changes in his behavior, they have decided to let Princess Selene’s decision to take him back to the dungeon for punishment. They believe that he would not be able to last long, anyway. Plus, the fact that Merlin had threatened the knights that he would ruin everything that they treasure was enough to keep

Kung siguro kaya lang ng mundo ay baka nakitaan na sila ng mga question mark sa ulo dahil gulung-gulo sila sa naging bati ng dalaga sa kanya.She thought that she’d tell her something else. Like, perhaps bargaining for her father’s body since they did announce his déath recently. Baka gusto nitong i-retrieve ang katawan lalo na’t kahit paano nila pagbalik-baliktarin ang mundo ay tatay nito si Morfran Demelza at hindi maitatangging mayroon pa rin itong amor para sa ama. This... Is something out of the picture?Ipinagkrus ni Selene ang mga braso. “Pumunta ka lang ba rito para sabihing inagaw ko sa ‘yo ang lahat?”Samantalang sa pagkakaalala ni Selene, siya itong nawalan at naagawan. Binawi lang naman niya iyong dapat ay kanya, a? Tinulungan lang din naman siya nina Lucas kahit na noong una, wala na talaga siyang balak na kunin ang lahat ng dapat daw ay para sa kany

    CHAPTER 42.1To See You LaterIT’S BEEN A WHILE since the issue with Morfran Demelza escaping from his prison through the help of the Grand Magus went out. Ang daming nangyari noon bagamat hindi nagtagal ang isyu. They faced the fear of people for they think that Morfran would do anything just to get back to the throne. May ibang nagsabing incompetent siya bilang prinsesa dahil imbes na burahin na lamang si Morfran sa mundo ay mas pinili niyang itago ito, mayroon din namang nagsabing kung mayroong mangyayari kay Lucas, paniguradong masisira ang magandang relasyon sa pagitan ng kaharian ng Izquierdo at kaharian ng Vintress.Fortunately, the problem was resolved immediately. But some still criticized Selene and Merlin. Porket bakit pa raw kasi binawi ang trono mula kay Morfran Demelza samantalang alam naman daw nilang magkakagulo lalo. And from the way they phrased their criticisms and based on how they sound, they’re most likely to belong in Morfran’s side, from an old faction that he

Ang binata rin ang siyang kasama niya noong nag-a-adjust siya sa buhay niya bilang si Selene Griego. Of course, there’s Jonas either but the fact that Lucas never left her side just hit different.Ngayong nagpaalam na sila sa isa’t isa at pinanonood niya ang sasakyan ng mga ito na lumayo nang lumayo mula sa mga mata niya, pakiramdam ni Selene ay naninikip ang dibdib niya. Suddenly, it felt like someone poured cold water on her head. Para siyang nanghina na ewan, nakaramdam na para bang mayroong kulang sa buhay niya at parang mayroong ‘void’ sa dibdib niya.Parang gusto niya ulit bumalik sina Lucas pero alam niyang hindi na pupwede dahil ligtas na ulit ang kaharian ng Izquierdo mula sa banta ni Morfran Demelza at ng Grand Magus. Hindi na ulit mako-corner ang binata at si Haring Alexander. Wala nang bant

    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 ngayo’y 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 father’s greed until he lost ‘someone’. Palagay niya, si Sir Clyde iyon dahil kalat na kalat ang tsismis.But as long as he apologized, she’s good with it.“Are you good?”Natigilan si Selene nang marinig ang boses ni Merlin. Nang lumingon siya, ‘tsaka niya natagpuan ang mahiko na naglalakad patungo sa kanya. May ngiti sa mga labi nito pero hindi rin naman maikakailang nag-aalala ito.“Nakita mo ba si Lucas?” tanong niya.Ipinilig ng mahiko ang ulo. “Ah...

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 niya’t 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.

We’re not persuading them that you’re much worthy than the previous royalties that they wanted to pursue.

    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 didn’t 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

Natatakot kasi akong baka may bumubukas pa ng liham ko para sa mga kaibigan ko,” 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 Kingdom’s 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 it’s true that her parents weren’t perfect as King and Queen, one of the sole reasons was because their deaths didn’t happen until

    CHAPTER 43.1NOONG MALAMAN NI Selene na nakatanggap siya ng sulat mula sa kaharian ng Westmount, na siyang lugar na kinalakhan niya’t mayroon siyang koneksyon, hindi naiwasan ni Selene ang mapangiti. She remembered that she had just recently sent a letter to one of her friends – 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. That’s 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 that’s what she’ll do if she ever starts reading another book.As

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.
