Moonlight After Sunset's
PLANS

"Chance is proof that God believes someone can be better than before."

*****************######****************

"Miss, the preparation is done."

Maya decides to go visit Dusk. This time only Maya will go without Zakila. He did not want to disturb his brother mentally.

"Jaga Zakila until I return," cried Maya when she saw the face of Zakila who was still sound asleep.

"Mia, keep an eye on Dira and her friend's movements." Maya was silent for a moment as if she was weighing something.

"If they're showing any strange gurgles, call me right away. Remember, if it is too dangerous do not act rashly and leave immediately. Your life is worth more than that information." continued Maya before leaving the room.

Upon arrival at the academic gate, Maya is already greeted by Luna and Muna. They deliberately went separately to trick the enemy. It would be very difficult if Dira and his gang knew the purpose of their departure.

Soon they left the academic using a rented train. The train drove slowly during the journey towards Duke Ari territory.

"Who are they?" Maya confusedly looked at the two maids who had just come up with them.

"Mer..."

"Sorry miss, allow me to introduce myself." cut off one of the servants with tightly clenched hands on his chest, not forgetting his slightly coaxing posture.

"I am Ayina, Miss Luna's personal servant." continued Ayina while bowing her face.

"I'm Xena, Miss Muna's." exclaimed Xena as she looked at Maya's eyes on her.

"Surprisingly," Maya replied as she focused on watching the two maids.

"Why have I never seen their faces?" continues confused.

"They're servants but also a knight." Muna explained indifferently.

"Somehow the two look alike."

Maya looked at Xena who was silently watching the surroundings. According to Maya both Muna and Xena, both have very similar properties. Almost identical as brothers.

***

2 Hours have passed since their departure. Now their position is only half way to Duke Ari's territory.

"Have you told Dusk before?" ask Maya seriously.

"..."

There is no good answer from Luna or Muna. Both of them remained silent with their minds.

"I thought this would happen."

Maya could only shake her head in confusion. Fortunately, he had anticipated this from the beginning.

"I have no problem with the others, but pity Dusk if we come without allowing him to prepare."

"Cric..crc...crik..."

Maya was a little frustrated, confused about having to laugh or cry. Instead of getting a response from his two friends, he only heard the sound of crickets singing.

"Thank you crickets, you've made this atmosphere even quieter."

"Hmm.." muttered Luna lazily.

"Other than this." Maya almost cries out in annoyance with Luna's relaxed reaction.

"Calm down, I've been preaching it." continued Luna while glancing at Muna.

"True." added Muna with a nod of the head.

"I think I picked a friend wrong."

Maya cried with her empty tears. He then looked on his own fate.

****

"Where are we going to meet him?" muna asked as they had started to enter Duke Ari's territory.

"South Pavilion, where Dusk is." replied Luna as she reached into her pants pocket.

"Why there? I thought we were going through the main door."

Maya looks confused, it is true that their arrival is too sudden and Tania news. It is also true that according to the ethics of the upper class nobles, their actions were completely wrong.

There is an unwritten law among the nobles. Those who wanted to visit the house or other noble territories, Haris first sent a letter. It was done as a sign of agreement from both sides.

"I know this is ridiculous but it's not true that we have to climb the walls of someone's house let alone those upper class nobles."

"Don't put on a scared face like that. We just go in through the back door not doing anything illegal." exclaimed Luna when she found Maya's panicked face.

"backdoor? Isn't that the same?"

"No, we're entering on the host's approval, so it's not illegal." Muna replied still with her face turned.

"God can die young if I continue this way." Maya muttered not out of thought with the actions of her two friends.

A while later the horse carriage had already reached the area behind the pavilion. This place looked deserted with a dense forest around it.

Muna was the first to get out of the horse carriage, followed by Luna and Maya. The three were then greeted warmly by Eza, Kstaria Dusk who had been waiting for their arrival.

"Greetings Miss" Eza said to each of them. Surely he did not forget the etiquette of a knight. Politely Eza kissed the woman's third wrist slowly.

"Where's Dusk?" asked Luna when Eza had just greeted them.

"Sorry Miss for the delay in information. Miss Twilight is currently being summoned by Duke."

"I don't blame it, but if I may know what business the Duke calls Dusk?"

The three were a little curious, even though they knew they shouldn't be too protective of one's business. But the feeling of anxiety and fear made them curious.

"Sorry Miss, I don't know."

Eza did not expect that her alibi would be questioned like this. To be honest, it is still on the way to the Duke mansion.

This could happen because he just got a letter from Eza about the visit of his three friends this morning.

"Huh, I'm a little worried." muttered Luna as she looked sharply at Eza. Somehow Luna felt there was a little lie from Eza's words.

"Miss, if you're bored. You can head west of this place. There is a gazebo that can be used as a place to rest.

With Eza's advice, the three of them immediately went west. There they saw an old gazebo with teak wood. Even though the old gazebo is still suitable for use.

"I can finally stretch this body." exclaimed Maya while warming up lightly. The same thing Muna and her servant did.

"I think you need to drink milk more often" mocked Luna as she was about to sit in the gazebo.

"I'm allergic to cow's milk." replied Muna flatly.

"Me too" Maya said seriously.

"Basar hick knight hick." sneered Luna while looking around.

"Who's the hick?" ask a voice from behind Luna.

"Alley."

Luna looked happy, she then came down from the gazebo and immediately embraced the body of Dusk. "Are you okay?" ask Luna later.

"Of course." reply Dusk with his faint smile.

From a distance Maya and Muna immediately ran fast towards them. Both of them sweat so much that they wet some of the clothes they wear.

"Gosh, you guys are so fucked up" said Dusk, shaking his head.

"We've just finished warming up" Muna explained unhappily.

"The knights always use their muscles in thinking." - Luna sneered as she dried the bodies of her two companions.

"I won't say thank you." Maya grumbled.

"..."

Dusk quietly watched the movements of his best friend. He felt funny by the reaction of Luna who hated physical exercise.

"Health training is like a waste of money. I never thought of it that way."

Three Hours ago

"Miss, there's a letter from Eza," Dian exclaimed as she entered the twilight room. He then handed me a letter that had just arrived this morning.

Then he picked up the letter and started reading it. Just a few lines of words, Dusk's eyes were already glaring in panic.

"What's wrong, miss?"

Dian was curious when she saw the lady's panic reaction. He felt that there was nothing wrong with the letter, no black mana or forbidden magic in it.

"Prepare the horse carriage immediately. We're going back home right now."

Hearing her sudden orders made Dian panic. He did not know what was written in the letter, but surely the lady's reaction was enough to explain that their situation was not okay.

Lucas who saw Dusk in a hurry to clean his room began to suspect. He did not know what kind of letter Dusk had just received. And whatever it was, Lucas was uncomfortable.

"What's wrong?" lucas asked as he pulled his Twilight wrist away from his clothes.

"Let go!" shouted Dusk annoyed.

"..."

Lucas just silently stared coldly at Dian. Of course he did that to Dian for not wanting to make Dusk even more angry at him.

"..."

The funny thing is that Dian looked back at Lucas. He felt annoyed with the owner of this place because it always makes others as a fallout of his love.

"Take me off!" scream at Dusk once more.

"Master, you are so arrogant." cried Dian with sharp glaring eyes.

"Hahaha, what?"

Lucas laughed cynically with an attitude of not falling down Dian. He felt that this little servant had begun to act rudely since being given affection by the owner.

"Let my lady go, you don't even have rights over her" continued Dian, further upsetting Lucas.

The twilight that saw Dian colliding with Lucas looked satisfied. He was proud of his servant. Although under intense pressure, he remained adamant with his stance.

"Ariel, get this waiter out before I run out of patience!" yelled Lucas who made Ariel's hair stand up scared.

Without wasting time Ariel immediately dragged Dian out of the room. Of course he would not use simple means.

Ariel casually lifted Dian's body and carried her like a sack of rice before taking her out of the house. This he did so that Dian could not rebel in his arms.

"Down me...!" yelled Dian annoyed.

"You and your master are just as evil." Dian continued, hitting Ariel on the shoulder.

"I'm tired."

Ariel looks resigned to Dian's punch, according to which it would be better to be hit by this woman than her own master.

"You want to die?" ariel asked while trying to take Dian down.

"Do you think I'm scared?" ask Dian back.

"Come away." replied Ariel indifferently.

Dian who saw that also immediately ran towards the house, but of course before he went far Ariel had clasped her hand back.

"If I were you, I'd stay quiet in this place."

****

A tired twilight argument with Lucas could only sigh. He then gave the letter he had just received to Lucas.

After reading the surah, Lucas was confused. He still does not want to repatriate Dusk but if he persists with his ego then Dusk will continue to rebel.

"All right, I understand." Lucas wrote, handing back the letter.

"As an apology, let me drive you home."

"...."

Seeing Dusk remain silent, Lucas began to weigh something.

"Alright, at least let me accompany you halfway." Lucas bargained seriously.

"No." reply Dusk flat. He hated when someone tried to interfere in his affairs.

"Let me go home alone."

"No, it's very dangerous."

Lucas tried to explain the situation of this forest at dusk. Even though while at home he was fine and never even saw any wild animals, but in fact this forest is so dangerous.

"At least to your current level." Inner Lucas.

"So what do you want?"

"Let me accompany you out of the forest. How's it?"

Dusk thought for a moment, he knew if this continued then there would be no end.

"All right, it's up to you."
