Moonlight After Sunset's
Entrapment

"The secret is the key that you and I have impassable boundaries even though we are always together."

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

"What is this place?" asked Muna while walking in the pavilion area.

"Come," replied Maya indifferently.

Without thinking long Muna then barged into the area. Maya tries to ignore him, but when he steps away from the area, Maya looks frustrated.

"Damn," Maya then turned to her place.

"If I go back without Muna, they'll definitely keep asking."

Maya does not like to be showered with many questions, it makes her dizzy and nauseous. He then decided to follow Muna who entered the area.

"I should have rejected that call from the beginning."

Maya recalled the incident a moment ago. At that time when they were busy chatting what Muna thought until she invited Maya to tour the pavilion.

Of course it is forbidden by Luna but Dusk happily let it go. Dusk thinks it's better if his best friend can see firsthand the situation in this place without having to tell it first.

"And this is what happened." Maya grumbled as she looked around the area.

This place cannot be said to be bad nor can it be said to be good. The outside area is overgrown with many pine trees but at least the area is well maintained.

The reason is very clear because the pine forest area is the gate behind this mansion and sometimes many servants and soldiers often pass and train there.

"Surprisingly the area within the pavilion looked really, really bad."

Maya felt crowded in the area in the pavilion, in addition to the many plants Lily and roses there are also weeds that grow shade along with the flowers.

"Where's Muna?"

Maya starts looking for Muna who has gone inside first. He inspected the area while occasionally avoiding the thorns of the rose towering around him.

"If only this place was well maintained it would definitely be the most comfortable place to go home."

Maya continues to search for Muna until she stops when she hears a scream from her left. Maya hurried to the source of the sound.

Once there Maya can see Muna who is hanging beside a large tree.

"Hgp." Maya shuts her mouth reflexively, she wants to laugh out loud but seeing Muna's sharp gaze makes her only able to hold back amusedly.

"How is.. Pffts..." Maya who could not bear to shed tears.

"Laughter just don't be held back" Muna grumbled as she turned her face away.

Honestly, Muna is upset with Maya's behavior but she also knows that her current position is very embarrassing. He hung with his feet facing horizontally.

"Pff.... Awaha!"

Maya who could not resist amused laughed loosely. He fell out with a hand that held his stomach slowly.

"How did you get there?" maya asked as she wiped her falling tears.

"...."

Seeing Muna silent Maya could only try to mask her gel taste but it did not last long.

"Alright, well I'll help you." continued Maya after a short pause.

When Maya was about to step forward, she accidentally stepped on the root of the tree on the right side of Muna. Instantly the tree tendrils began to bind Maya's body lifting her vertically.

"Yes...!!" maya shouted in shock.

Muna who saw that could only sigh. He did not expect that the entire part of this tree would have a tendril trap.

"Why this?" Maya tries to free herself but Muna just kicks her hard from the side.

"Stop, it's no use."

"Then what should we do?"

"Laughter." replied Muna indifferently.

Now Maya understands why Muna cannot escape from this tendril. Maya initially feels strange because Muna is a 3-rank knight, at least she can use her power.

"Now I understand," Maya murmured, remembering what happened a moment ago. Now he feels sorry for laughing at Muna.

"I'm sorry" Maya said slowly.

****

In the gazebo Dusk and Luna were still chatting ria. They tell stories of each other's past. While she was talking, Xena came to see the two.

"Sorry to interrupt your time Miss Luna and Miss Twilight." exclaimed Xena as she bowed her body.

"I got a strange message from my lady" he continued with his head lowered.

"What message is that?" luna asked confusedly.

"I'm sorry for my stupidity Miss Luna, I don't know what it is. Just a moment ago, I got a strange signal coming from the west of this place."

"Try to explain the details?" ask Luna back.

Xena then told me what she had just received. After hearing the story of Muna's personal servant, the two then went towards the west of the area.

There the two saw a high wall with many vines on each side.

"Is it right here?" tanya Dusk confused.

"Right Miss," Xena then pointed towards the inside of the wall.

"How did they get in there?"

Dusk looked anxious, he knew that this pavilion was heavily guarded by Duke's subordinates at his command. Even since the empress' departure, this pavilion was closed to the public.

"I'm afraid that Muna and Maya have been caught" exclaimed Dusk quietly which could only be heard by himself.

"What is this place?" asked Luna when she saw the anxious expression on Dusk's face.

Dusk hesitantly replied "this pavilion belongs to the empress." Luna and the two maids were silent for a moment. They then stared strangely at Dusk.

Dusk himself did not know why the Duke as his father behaved like that, but clearly this pavilion area was off limits to anyone.

"We must hurry away." exclaimed Luna after hearing explaining Dusk.

Luna knew that sometimes nobles had strange hobbies and extreme tendencies toward things.

"Well," Xena replied before jumping over the wall.

The Academy Dormitory Building

The atmosphere of the academy was so calm this end. It is difficult to say if it happens often but strangely it has been a few days this atmosphere is maintained.

"What's the outcome?" tasya asked after regretting his black tea.

"Just calm down, I have an effective plan for this."

"Whatever it is I want the results to be satisfactory."

Tasya was eager to see Muna's crying face which had only revealed her cold face.

"It would be nice if both of them were crying."

Tasya began to imagine Muna's sad face and Maya crying in front of him. After being satisfied to imagine the faces of the two, he refocused on their conversation.

"What about Arina?" tanya slightly disliked it.

"He's coming, but as you know."

Dira explains Arina's situation in this plan. To be honest neither Dira nor Tasya liked Arina. They regard Arina as a burden carried because of the fifth prince alone.

"Are you sure?" ask Mari to show her disapproval.

"Just use him as much as we can." Dira replied indifferently.

"Huh, somehow I'd rather see Sarah than Arina."

Let's smile wryly when we say that. He knew that Arina was plain and too spoiled.

"I agree." exclaimed Tasya confirming.

"Therefore I have a plan for her."

Dira redefines their backup plan. Both Mari and Tasya looked very satisfied.

"Not a good thing." said Tasya gladly.

Moments later Mari's servant approached them with a young woman whose cheeks were reddened.

"Your time is up, decide immediately." exclaimed Dira with a look of intimidation.

"..."

The woman remained silent, she even tried to stare back at Dira's eyes. Let's see it immediately deal a hard blow to the woman's body.

"How dare this lowly creature." grumbled Mari with legs that were still kicking the woman's lower body.

"Don't leave a mark, he's still useful to us."

Tasya did not try to stop Mari's blow. He just told Mari not to kill the woman.

"How's it?" ask Dira back.

"There's no second chance, if you don't agree then death will be waiting for you."

"How dare you!" the woman was upset.

"I'm Duke's daughter, how brave..."

Not yet had the woman finished her words, she had been pressed back by one of Dira's servants.

"You're only the third daughter of that house, even if you die even if Duke won't care."

"No, I definitely care about me. He loved my mother and I so much." cried the woman emotionally.

"Hohoho, what a pity." exclaimed Dira with his demonic smile.

"Dare to prove it." whispered Dira softly in the woman's ear.

"People...!"

"PLAQUE"

A loud slap landed on the woman's sweet cheek. He involuntarily shed his tears slowly.

"How dare you yell in front of me." snapped loudly.

"It's Sarah, just give up." seduce Mari with a mocking expression.

"Sarah who had been bullied by the three could only remain silent. He felt hot on his cheek that had just been slapped.

"It's all because of him."

Sarah recalls a memory a few days ago when she tried to pit Dusk and Dira. At that time he was happy because the plan was successful but he did not know if the plan would bring disaster to his life later.

"It's all your fault twilight, I should have got the position."

Sarah is upset she feels the birth of Dusk is a form of error in her life. Dusk how thorny in Sarah. He felt that everything that Dusk had right now was his real possession.

"Sarah, where's your answer?" tanya Tasya started to run out of patience.

Sarah was silent for a moment, she was imagining the shattered face of Dusk and herself sitting on the duchess throne.

"If I can't have that position, then you're the same."

Sarah who was silent soon raised her face. He looked at Dira with an inexplicable expression.

"I accept." Sarah replied with a strange twinkle in her eyes.
