"Sickness is simply a metamorphosis of helplessness."
*****************#####*****************
The next morning all the students were talking about Dusk. They even blatantly noticed Dusk before he even walked out of his room.
"I was curious about the gossip last night," whispered one of the students who was in the hallway of the Dusk room.Sangking curious, he was even willing to get up early just to see Dusk come out of his room.
"Who knows if the woman most loved by the nobles became to suffer like that" the other replied with a delighted facial expression.
Anyone in this academy must know about the reputation of Dusk which is always surrounded by children from famous nobles. Moreover, he is also a friend of the royal crown princess Aruna.
In addition, he is the beloved companion of princess Luna who is a good example of this kingdom. All who are close friends with Dusk is the greatness of each family.
"Everybody here hates him for that luck" one of them.
Who does not know if Dusk was an outcast from Duke Ari, or even now it is still like that. A child who doesn't even have a mother to support him. He was also ignored by his own father.
The fate of Dusk was unfortunate, even more so when his engagement to the fifth prince was canceled, he became very crazy. Rumors circulated if he committed suicide at the Winter residence, therefore the students think if the friendship that occurs today is a form of pity.
"They're too good to be friends with a villain like him. If it wasn't for suicide, it would still be trash." Grumbled one of the students waiting in the hallway.
"That's right, the crimes he's committed all along won't be covered up just because of the suicide."
"Maybe they were friends with him just out of pity. Let's see it later for sure he will be surrounded by his other friends."
"Like a moth" the students murmured.
They didn't even know that Dusk had been listening to their whole babble. Even so, he does not want to take a headache or try to straighten out the existing events. Everyone has their own right to opinion.
Envy and jealousy make them blind to the reality. They could not even see that the current one they were talking about was a Duke's daughter whose position was higher than theirs.
In this kingdom, only Dusk was the Duke's only daughter. Because the Duke's position is only owned by Duke Ari. In addition, the territory of Duke Ari is almost comparable to the territory of the kingdom of Aruna. They have a large territory with a good income.
If Duke Ari deigned he could even form his own kingdom and even he would succeed in becoming a country that had abundant power and wealth. Even so Duke Ari had promised to be loyal to this kingdom so that he could not take himself out just like that.
"Miss, what am I..."
"Leave it," cut the Dusk while glancing down at the window of his room."
Even outside the dormitory there were still many students waiting for him. They looked at the twilight room openly while gossiping about her.
"But this is too much!" pekik Dian was upset.
"Just let it go, we don't need to confirm anything." replied Dusk as he sat back down to his dressing table.
"They don't even deserve an explanation from me" he continued indifferently.
"Huh, Miss then they often care about you," complained Dian not happy.
"..."
Dusk would not take a headache, he knew as far as he explained. They will never understand, because what they want is what has been in their respective shadows.
"Explaining my situation to such a person would only be a waste of time and effort,"
They will only consider the explanation of Twilight as a mere reason. They will never want to listen to the reality because all they want is the mistake of Dusk.
Their greatest desire was to see Dusk suffer and see how helpless he was at the moment. They are like fools who only cling to their own folly.
"They are the type of people who like to see people who are hard and hard to see people happy. So just shut it up." Continue Dusk when he saw Dian's annoyed face.
"Alright Miss," Dian replied still with an annoyed expression.
Currently Dusk was being groomed by Dian to cover his pale skin. Not to the point of having to change his entire facial features, but it was enough to cover that he was sick.
Honestly, Dusk did not hurt at all, he felt very healthy and fresh. But his physical condition does not support that at all.
The pale face now looks fine with the powder that covers it, the pale red lips now look alive with a touch of pink lipstick that adorns it.
Although this decoration looks mediocre but it can not cover the natural beauty of Dusk, even without makeup Dusk is very beautiful. Usually Dusk rarely dress up or never even touch make up except during important events only.
He did it because he was lazy to deal with complicated makeup tools. But this time he had to wear it until his physical condition returned to what it used to be.
"Let's get out" exclaimed Dusk after all the preparations were done.
"Although Miss's face looks good, but it can't cover up your weak body condition. Hands, feet and other exposed parts still show a pale skin like a zombie." Dian's inner sadness.
When Dusk was about to open the room door, Dian closed it back. He only realized that his Miss would look even stranger with this kind of appearance.
"What's wrong?" tanya Dusk curious.
"Miss, doesn't Miss feel weird?" ask Dian back.
"What do you mean?"
"Look Miss, right now Miss's face does look fine, but the rest of Miss's physical condition looks very bad."
Hearing Dian's words, Dusk immediately noticed his own physical condition. It is a bit excessive if it is said that he is fine, but to say healthy also feels a bit embarrassing.
"If you come out like that, people will think you're under a deadly curse right now." exclaimed Kun who had just been silent.
"That's right, Miss should change into a more closed one. In addition, this has entered the autumn where the air temperature begins to get colder." Dian replied while preparing new clothes Dusk.
"Huh, this is very troublesome. Is there no magic to this?" ask Kun.
"Magic can indeed be used for humans but it will not be able to change the full physical condition. If you use disguise magic in the academy then it will make others more suspicious of you." Kun explained indifferently.
Seeing such a Kun made Dusk a little annoyed. But he was also aware that it would only make it harder for him to move around in this academy.
"It's Miss," Dian gave the autumn suit a match to the current condition of Dusk.
The clothes were no less fashionable than the usual twilight clothes, only this time the clothes looked more covered than before.
"This is much better than the previous clothes," Dian said as Dusk had changed his clothes.
The clothes were long-sleeved with a unique grey lace motif. The lace was dragon-shaped with a sprinkling of flowers around it. For the bottom, Dusk wears black trousers.
The pants were perfectly matched with the Twilight gray clothing that matched the color of one of her hair. While the shoes used by Dusk are black leather shoes that fit the current suit.
"Well, there's no harm in changing the suit." murmured Dusk as he watched himself in the mirror.
"Now Miss can come out comfortably." exclaimed Dian satisfied.
"All right, let's go."
Dusk then came out of his room, and as expected he saw a crowd of students who were ready to see his appearance from head to toe.
"Luckily Miss wants to wear a different suit," Dian said as she looked at the crowd of students gossiping about her.
"Look at that, he's weird isn't it." whispered the student who had just been passed by Dusk.
"True, no matter what he wears looks very ugly." replied the others.
They looked very jealous of Dusk. They know that Dusk is beautiful but they don't want to admit it. They hated her even more when they saw Dusk dressed in such fashion.
"They forgot my physical condition just because I was wearing clothes like this." Inner Dusk while laughing cynically.
Behind the crowd, there was one of the students who was biting his nails with an angry, annoyed, hateful and all sorts of jealousy facial expressions. He looked unhappy when he saw Dusk coming out of his room in good condition.
"Damn it, I may have misheard about the gossip last night but I won't just give up." - grumbled as he watched Dusk disappear behind the hallway.
"Look, you're definitely going to die" he continued before leaving the place.
