All Chapters of Blood and Roses: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

CHAPTER 13.2 Invitation “PRINCE Lucas, King Alexander wanted to initiate a call through the crystal right now. It’s urgent,” Sir Guischard informed him while the knight lowered his head to give respects to him. Lucas, who had just woken up from his daylight slumber and had barely recognized the setting sun shown on the window beside his room was surprised upon hearing the news. He gaped, his jaw almost dropped at the blanket that had been giving him warmth, and his eyes were slightly wide. Since he was stunned, he was inept to provide a verbal response for a bit. “Prinsipe Lucas?” muling tawag ni Sir Guischard sa kanya, naninigurong hindi siya biglang nakatulog na naman. No, he has no plans to sleep anymore. Nabawi na naman niya sa wakas ang enerhiyang ginamit sa pagbabantay kay Selene. Ngayon, mas maayos na ang takbo ng pamumuhay nilang lahat at nakakapagpahinga na rin sila nina J

CHAPTER 13.4 Fear and Worries THEY had someone teach Selene proper etiquette. Hindi isa sa mga kasama ni Lucas kung hindi ibang guro na siyang nakakausap lamang ni Selene gamit ang communication crystal. Dahil gahol na sila sa oras at matinding pananala rin ang dinaanan ng mga posibleng kandidato para turuan siya, strikto at naging mabilis ang pagtururo sa kanya. She didn’t mind but at the same time, she finds each lesson troublesome. “I had it tough when I was younger too,” Lucas shared when they went out to the market, in complete disguise, so that they could buy groceries. Kasama pa rin nila sina Jonas ngunit nagbabantay ang mga ito sa paligid. Naramdaman din ni Lucas ang presensya ng mga ito ngunit hinayaan na lamang ng binata. Nag-aalala lang daw ang mga ito dahil pareho silang galing sa royal family—though, Selene’s family has long fallen, the Knights made sure to treat her with the same

CHAPTER 14.1 Unexpected Encounter THE air feels tight, she’s suffocating. No matter how spacious, glorious, or fabulous the venue of the celebration is, she couldn’t hide from the tension and unfamiliarity that the place offers. There was no such thing as comfort, and now that she’s able to step in to this place and get a glimpse of the nobles’ lives, Selene finds it understandable that Lucas called such banquet a headache. Selene secretly thanked the mask she wore and the fan she used to hide her face. After all, the frown painted across her face was something beyond a painter’s skill. No one would be able to put it in a canvas. No matter how she looked around and witness the people faking their joy and enthusiasm, Selene could see through their lies. Suddenly, it was as if the bright and glorious venue was embraced by a dark and menacing aura. Threats are around so she can’

CHAPTER 14.3 Burdensome Encounter “DUMATING na ang Mahal na Hari at ang Mahal na Prinsipe!” Ito ang naging anunsyo ng isa sa mga guwardiya na siyang dahilan upang may magsimulang mga agam-agam.Kanina, walang pakialam si Selene sa mga pinag-uusapan ng mga ito ngunit kalaunan, hindi talaga maiiwasang may marinig si Selene. Isa sa mga ito ay kung gaanong nakakapanliit ang presensya ng Hari, ang iba naman ay usapan tungkol kay Prinsipe Zeno— na siyang ikalawang opsyon lang naman daw bilang namatay ang nakatatanda nitong kapatid at ang dating nakatakdang tagapagmana ng korona sa giyera na pinuntahan nito.Sa pagkakaalala ni Selene, isa nga ito sa mga naging sikat na usapan noong hindi pa niya alam ang tunay niyang pagkakakilanlan.Ang Westmount Kingdom e ang kahariang may kakaibang patron. Hm, kung ang kaharian ng Vintress, Ellesmere, at Izquierdo e binabantayan ng mga deity o

CHAPTER 14.5 Guardian“PALAGI bang gano’n si Prinsesa Luan kay Lucas?” pag-uusisa ni Selene dala ng kuryosidad at pag-aalala.Humimig si Miss Sephare at bumuntong hininga. “Base sa mga madalas naming makita t’wing bumibisita si Prinsesa Luan sa kaharian ng Vintress, oo. She’s extremely possessive and presumably obsessed toward Prince Lucas.”Kanina noong pauwi na sila galing sa selebrasyon, nagulat si Selene noong makatanggap ng balitang sinusundan sila ng sasakyan ni Prinsesa Luan at ipinapatigil ang behikulo nila. Akala ni Selene, walang problema at iisa lang ang route na dadaanan nila, ngunit nang marinig kay Miss Sephare na hindi dumaraan dito ang behikulo ng Prinsesa, kumabog ang dibdib ni Selene.Selene couldn’t describe how nervous she was, thinking that the Princess found out about her identity. Other than that, when they finally stoppe
