8.4: Lost Vampire Princess
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56CHAPTER 8.4
Lost Vampire PrincessLucas watched in silence as the assassin’s lifeless body turn into ashes and disappear in thin air. It took them a moment, perhaps, more than ten minutes before Lucas could heave a sigh of relief. This is what he decided to do to obliterate any evidences that a crime occurred here and that the killer was an assassin sent by Izquierdo kingdom.
After all, Lucas and Jonas—as well as the princess they finally found, would be put in a tight spot if ever someone realizes that they interferred with the assassin’s mission. Not only that the Vintress Kingdom would raise any suspicion, a possible war could also brew and they haven’t prepared for that yet.
Well, that is his speculation but who knows what his father had been doing in the kingdom?
Noong sigurado na siyang maayos na ang lahat, walang bakas ng kahit na sino pang assassin at wala ri

Blood and Roses 9.1: Tripped
CHAPTER 9.1 TrippedWHILE Lucas and Jonas discussed of how they could solve their conflict with the knights, Lucas heard a woman from the nurse’s table, asking for the condition of someone named ‘Selene Gallenera’. Since the name sounded very much like Selene’s, Lucas assumed that the woman who came running to meet the lost vampire princess must be someone that the princess knew—or another assassin playing the part as the princess’ guardian.Nevertheless, he and Jonas waited but their guards were up. He was even already planning out how to execute another assassin without anyone catching them. But as soon as the nurse went out of their table and led the woman to their direction, Lucas was surprised to see a seemingly weak old lady whose fear and panic was evident on her visage.‘Who is she?’ Lucas asked himself. He even sat straight when her eyes darted on him
Blood and Roses 9.2: Shelter
CHAPTER 9.2 ShelterWHEN the clock pointed at three o’clock in the afternoon, both Lucas and Jonas knew that it’s time to go. They still have to find shelter and as much as possible, it would be great if it’s somewhere near Selene’s home. Only that, they don’t know where exactly does she live with her adoptive mother—and yes, Lucas confirmed that Helen was no threat after watching her take care of the lost princess. It was as if Selene was her own so... he gotta respect her for that.“Aalis na po kami,” paalam ni Jonas kina Selene at Aling Helen nang maisukbit ang bag dala nila. “Maghahanap pa po kami ni Lucas ng matutuluyan.”Sumunod si Lucas sa ginawa ni Jonas. Tumayo siya mula sa pagkakaupo sa tabi ni Selene para mamaalam na rin sa mag-ina. Lucas also plans to discuss the connection between Aling Helen and Selene, as well as her involvement with
Blood and Roses 9.3: Connecting Puzzle Pieces
CHAPTER 9.3 Connecting Puzzle Pieces BASED on every information that they were able to gather, Helen Gallenera is the adoptive mother of the lost vampire princess, Selene Griego. It seemed like the two has a healthy relationship, which relieved Lucas because there could be a huge possibility that persuading them to transfer in a safer place might be easier, but at the same time; unveiling that had been shrouded by Selene’s mysterious disappearance that night would be a whirlwind for them. A sudden turn of events... that may appear farfetched from an individual who believed that they were born as human. “Anong gagawin natin, Prinsipe Lucas?” tanong ni Jonas sa kanya. Dalawang araw pa lamang ang lumilipas mula nang tumuloy sina Lucas sa apartment na pinapaupahan nina Aling Helen at sa loob ng dalawang araw na iyon, ginawa nila ang lahat upang makasalamuha ang mag-ina’t malaman ang relasyon
Blood and Roses 9.4: Blood Moon
CHAPTER 9.4 Blood Moon JUST as Lucas expected, they found a device beneath the flooring of the house which could possibly exterminate vampires if it was triggered. Of course, Lucas and Jonas can’t trigger the device as it needed a control and it’s most probably that the remote would be in Princess Selene and Aling Helen’s house. But that’s alright, they could destroy the devices before something unpleasant occurs.“Ang ibig mong sabihin Prinsipe Lucas, alam ni Aling Helen na mga bampira tayo at nagsususpetya talaga siyang may balak tayo kay Selene?” napapantastikuhang pag-uusisa ni Jonas.Humimig siya bago naglatag ng mahika para masira ang device na nasa harapan nila. It’s a modern device that produces toxins that only affects vampires. The main ingredient were the pollens of a Primarosa plant—a gorgeous rose-like flower but bigger than an ordinary r

CHAPTER 9.5FranticLUCAS panted as Selene’s teeth sank on his neck, drinking his blood, taking in how much without a care as long as it the pain that had been bothering her subsides. However, as Lucas’ hands travelled to hold her waist and sink his fingernails to Selene’s skin out of pain and inexplicable pleasure, it also drove Lucas’ own parchness uncontrollable. Whenever Selene takes a sip of his blood, he feels more... thirsty.‘Shit. This isn’t good.’ Lucas caught his breathe while his free hand roamed to hold Selene’s wrist, bringing her close to his lips before he opened his own mouth and dug her own teeth on her skin—taking his share of her blood.As soon as Selene’s blood touched his lips and danced inside his mouth, Lucas almost gave in to how sweet she tasted. He also heard her groan in pain and grazing her fangs against his neck
Blood and Roses 10.1: Her Truth
CHAPTER 10.1 Her Truth BUONG buhay ni Selene, ang buong akala niya e ordinaryong tao lamang siya. Pinalaki sa maayos na pamilya bagamat ina lamang niya ang kasama niya at ang tumaguyod sa kanya buong buhay niya. Although, there were these weird and inexplicable events that she considers her episodes, Selene genuinely thought that she must have been crazy—that she might actually have some mental problems. Pero iyon lamang ang akala niya hanggang sa mangyari ang kagabi.Last night’s events were traumatizing especially that she remembers every single thing that occurred last night clearly. Kung paano siyang iginapos ng ina nang magsabi siyang nanghihina siya’t iba ang nararamdaman. Kung paanong nanakit ang lalamunan niya, sumikip—tila ba nauuhaw pero hindi niya alam kung anong makakapagpakalma sa kanya. She was even more terrified when she realized that she was acting strange once the moon rose to illum

CHAPTER 10.2 Gift of the Moon “MAGULO ang buhay ko at tila ba walang biyayang nakalaan para sa ‘kin. Nawawalan na ‘ko ng pag-asa noong mga oras na ‘yon, anak. Nalulunod ako sa sama ng loob dahil nakawala nga ‘ko sa puder ng mga magulang ko pero ‘di ko naman makamit ang marangyang buhay,” pagkukwento ni Helen habang patuloy na hinahaplos ang likuran ng kamay ni Selene.Hanggang ngayon, hindi pa rin sumisiksik sa isipan ni Selene ang sinabi ni Helen. Kalaunan, napailing na lamang siya. Baka mamaya, siya lang ang mali ang naiisip. Baka na-misinterpret niya lang. She should avoid jumping to conclusions before her mother finishes her statement.Selene was dragged back from her reverie when Helen sighed. “Tulad ng sinabi ko, akala ko pagod lamang ako no’n at namamalikmata ngunit ngayong inaalala ko ang nakaraan, malinaw na malinaw sa isip ko ang mga nangyari n
Blood and Roses 10.3: Ambushed
CHAPTER 10.3 AmbushedHEAD empty, mind has fallen in an abysmal chasm of emptiness; Selene couldn’t process the revelation which Lucas unveiled in regards to his real identity. To discover that she’s a vampire and not an ordinary human like what she believed is one thing, but the fact that the person who sat in front of her—the man whose aura screamed prestige and authority from the very start, the man who saved her from her classmate whom she cannot remember the face anymore was none other than Lucas Sutcliffe himself, the Crown Prince of Vintress Kingdom.Indeed, she had heard of his departure last month to accomplish an expedition, but no one really knew what it was about and the media declared—based on King Alexander’s words, too—that his son, Prince Lucas, had to depart to prove himself as a rightful heir of Vintress Kingdom.She also heard that many disapproved of hi

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 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... Kailangan mo ba talaga siyang kausapin tungkol doon ngayon?”“Yes. I promised him, remember?”Humigop 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 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. 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

CHAPTER 43.4Debut PreparationBAGAMAT HINDI INTERESADO si Selene na magpakilala sa lahat lalo na’t 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.“I don’t like the idea of pleasing the noble faction,” was what she told Merlin while they were busy discussing her debut which will happen within two months. “Kung pupwede lang natin silang i-out ay iyon ang iri-request ko sa ‘yo.”Napailing-iling si Merlin sa sinabi niya ngunit mayroong naglalarong ngiti sa mga labi nito. “Alam kong sasabihin mo ‘yan at pinag-iisipan ko na ring i-filter ang mga imbitasyon pero sinabihan akong ‘di pwede. We’re not persuading them that you’re much worthy than the previous royalties that they wanted to pursue. You just needed to let the entire Kingdom know that you’re no fiction.”“Do they still think that I’m fake?”“Some 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 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
Blood and Roses 43.2: Nonsensical
CHAPTER 43.2Nonsensical“MERLIN, ALAM MO ba kung anong dahilan kung ba’t 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,” 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
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 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
Blood and Roses 42.5: Family
CHAPTER 42.5FamilyAFTER DISCUSSING MERLIN’S 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 mother’s roots.“Merlin, nabanggit pala sa ‘kin ni Konde Valderas na tagakaharian ng Vintress pala si Mama?” 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 isa’t 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 Merlin’s 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 can’t help it! Anong mararamdaman niya sa oras na marinig niyang niloloko pala ng mahiko ang isa sa mga bayolohikal niyang magulang?“Did you seriously think that I’d have the courage to hurt King Arthur or Queen Erina?” 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.“Anong relasyon mo kina Mama?” 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 she’s curious. Gusto niyang malaman kung ano ba ang relas
