Moonlight After Sunset's
Party Pt 2's

"Silence is gold but if it is excessive then the pain will be in the can."

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

"Finished already," cried Dian after putting a small crown on top of the twilight hair.

"Miss, look at your beautiful appearance." continued Dian who only answered lazy moans Dusk.

"Miss wake up, you are already 10 minutes late from the promised time," said Dian while cleaning the equipment make up Dusk.

"Who is this?" dusk asked indifferently when he first opened his eyes and saw a beautiful figure before him.

The figure was so beautiful with a small crown on top of her freely stroked curls, there are also other hair ornaments such as dried flowers that bloom beautifully that dangle in every braid of hair between the ears.

Her bluish-green eyes looked resolute with cherry-like rancid red lips making the woman look like a doll. She wears a sky blue dress with a small star around the end of her dress.

"Beautiful," exclaimed Dusk involuntarily touching the mirror before him.

"Miss, don't keep joking. You are late and will miss the first dance if not quickly reach the hall." exclaimed Dian annoyed with her indifferent behavior Dusk.

Dusk was still flabbergasted at her beauty. He did not even realize that Dian had already nagged him.

"It's a pity that there are no cell phones in the world."

"Miss, you're so narcissistic" cried Dian as her miss praised herself.

"Come Miss, we're too late." continued Dian as she pushed Dusk's body out of her room.

"Huh, the shame."

"Miss, you're not there yet, where did that boredom come from?" dian asked while staring at the sullen face of Dusk.

"Don't express yourself like that Miss, later the makeup can wear off," murmured Dian annoyed with the behavior of Dusk which lately feels strange.

"Foolishly so," replied Dusk as he quickened his pace towards the party hall.

Arriving at the front door of the hall, a guard approached Dusk greeting him.

"Good afternoon princess de Ari" exclaimed the guard politely.

"Good afternoon," replied Dusk indifferently as he continued to step closer to the door of the hall.

The guard who passed by Dusk immediately looked at his friend to immediately open the door of the hall.

"Good afternoon princess de Ari" exclaimed the guard as he opened the hall door.

The hall door looked extremely majestic with a golden snake decoration coiled in the center, there were also two silver swords crossing the snake.

"Princess Dusk de Ari entered the room," the guard shouted along with the opening of the hall door.

Dusk was a little shocked because the guard shouted his name but the shock disappeared instantly and was replaced with a nervousness that spread throughout his body.

When the door of the hall opened the first thing that greeted Dusk was the thousands of eyes of the nobles of the Aruna kingdom, be it low-ranking or high-ranking nobles.

They looked at each other from head to toe. Among them there are those who look amazed by the beauty of Dusk there are also those who envy her.

Dusk tried to ignore all the sharp gazes directed at him, he then walked into the hall quietly and gracefully like a high-ranking noble.

Maya and Zakila who are the main characters in the place just smiled sweetly at the twilight that now came to them.

Dusk looked graceful and gentle, his current figure could even be juxtaposed with a fairy.

"It's beautiful" murmured Zakila with a big smile on her face.

"You're right, she's so beautiful" retorted Maya who was still staring gently at Dusk.

Whispers after whispers continued to echo in the party hall. They were busy talking about Dusk who is the main daughter of Duke Ari who is now starting to get the full attention of the Duke who was once indifferent to him.

They also talked about rumors about her suicide due to the cancellation of her engagement to the fifth prince, as well as the case she had just experienced.

"I heard he was poisoned by his own servant."

"Pity her, besides her fiance was also taken by her own sister."

"It turns out that a beautiful appearance is not everything, she was even betrayed by two of her closest people at once."

"I feel sorry for him."

They continued to talk about Dusk, from the beginning of his entry until he was in front of the throne of the King and Empress and Queen and also the twins.

"Greet the bright light of the Aruna kingdom." exclaimed Dusk while slightly bowing his body towards the King.

"Greetings to the night light of the kingdom of Aruna," continued Dusk who now faced the Empress then facing towards the direction of the Queen.

"Greetings Princess of Aruna's royal twin nights," continued Dusk back as she faced Maya and Zakila.

"May the light of grace always be with all of you" continued Dusk then raised his head to look at the King.

"Welcome princess de Ari," replied the King with a grand aura like a leader.

"I heard you and my two daughters are best friends."

"Right, I'm glad the two princesses want to be friends with me." replied Dusk politely who even got a sharp look from the nobles around him.

"How dare he speak with such a haughty tone," whispered one of the noble ladies who had not liked the presence of Dusk in the first place.

"Isn't he late? Why didn't he apologize first and instead dare to raise his head high-handedly" another grumbled.

One by one they began to glare at Dusk which even looks very entertaining for him.

Dusk glanced softly at Muna and Luna who were not far from him. They stared at the nobles with low eyes while insulting Dusk.

"It's comforting, "inner Twilight with a slight smile on her lips.

"I heard Maya and Zakila loved you very much, really I wanted to know what the reason was," cried King Aruna as he glanced at his twin daughters.

"I myself don't know your highness either" replied Dusk with a friendly smile.

"Is that so?"

"Yes, your honor."

"It's exciting."

King Aruna began to smile satisfied with the reaction given by Dusk. He knew that this woman in front of him was no ordinary woman. Given that Dusk was the daughter of a Duke, she must also have strength that could not be underestimated.

"Hahaha, now I know why my twin daughters are so interested in you."

" ... "

"I really like this attitude of yours, next time I'll invite you to dinner together."

"Thank you, your majesty."

"No need to thank you, I should be the one apologizing for taking your time here."

"No, no, no, not at all. I'm glad I could talk to you for a long time."

"Is that so? I'm glad to hear it."

"Yes your honor."

"Well princess, you can enjoy this party now."

"Thank you, your majesty" softly twilight as she slightly bowed her body.

"The "attractive woman" inwardly King Aruna when he saw Dusk that went to Luna and Muna.

"The strength he hid is at least comparable to half my strength," the Aruna King muttered briefly as he glanced at the black wisp above the head of Dusk.

"I want to keep seeing him" whispered the King of Aruna before greeting the guest who was about to speak to him.

The twilight that was walking towards his two best friends began to creep suddenly. He did not know where the cold came from but certainly the feeling was very disturbing him.

"Some are talking about me" the twilight mind does not like what it is feeling.

"Miss, the King is very strange. She kept watching you from the beginning, no more precisely she was watching you at this moment," Lily exclaimed anxiously as the King of Aruna continued to stare intently at her miss.

"Lily's right Miss, there's something strange about that King. He seems to know that you are hiding something." - Ristia's timpals are now starting to rise towards the index finger of Dusk.

"The king seems to know your strength Miss, and it seems like he is also strong."

"Of course he is strong, he willed King even though this kingdom is small but we also can not seem to underestimate him." taunted Dusk when Lily was not aware of the position of King Aruna.

"Miss, I think you should be wary of this place." Lily exclaimed indifferently.

"Lily, it should be you who should be careful in this place so as not to recklessly use your power on me," grumbled Dusk annoyedly still recalling the incident earlier this afternoon in the library.

"What did you say?" snapped Dusk with a strange smile on his face.

"Senja, sit here" cried Luna as she pushed the chair in front of her.

"Thank you."

Dusk then sat on the chair still with his grin.

"What's wrong? You look upset" asked Muna who was now staring strangely at Dusk.

"Ah, it's nothing" replied the friendly Dusk before drinking the tea in front of him.

"Miss, you're so annoying" Lily replies when Dusk is still talking to Luna and Muna.

"I want to hit him right now," the twilight grunt still maintained his regretful smile. Dusk could not show his regret at this party because right now all eyes were on him.

"Hey, what did you guys just say?" dusk asked when he heard Ristia and Lily muttering simultaneously.

"Miss, we just got a message from Kun if there's a bunch of mysterious men watching your room right now."

"Huh, what? Who sent them? Wait, Lily have you done what I told you to do before," asked Dusk frantically but still kept his poker face in front of the other nobles.

"Let's just calm, miss, everything's done."

"Well, thank God, who are they?"

"We also don't know Miss, they came all of a sudden Kun said."

"All right, I get it."

"Don't worry Miss, I'll investigate right away" Lily exclaimed before flying out of the party hall through the open cabin window.

"Lily, make sure you hide your powers as well as ours," shrieked Twilight before Lily actually walked out of the room.

"Miss, I think the aura of your power needs to be suppressed so that the King does not notice it as before."

" ... "

"I'm sure Miss, if the King has a high sensitivity about the strong people around him."

"Alright, I understand," replied the Dusk which was now beginning to lower the slight force of mana flowing in his body.

"Human, it's me." exclaimed Kun who did the inner link suddenly. The startled twilight began to regain control of his facial expression before picking up the fan and covering half of his face.

"Kun, what's wrong?"

"Human, I have important information that the shadows belong to a high nobleman of this kingdom."

"Are you sure?"

"Do you doubt I'm human? I just heard one of them mention the noble's name."

"Damn. How can you hear it? Don't tell me you're after them?"

"Why should I try so hard to chase after them? I am a saint beast that has a hundred times hearing even thousands of times stronger than a weak human like you."

"Yes yes, it's up to you," replied Dusk tired of hearing Kun's endless nonsense.

An hour had passed since the presence of Dusk inside the party hall. The nobles who were still looking wildly at the direction of Dusk are now getting busy with their respective affairs.

Maya and Zakila are also busy struggling with their followers. This is very beneficial for Dusk and his mental health.

"I'm bored" said Muna with a tired expression on her face.

"You can't hide your expression at all at this time" replied Luna who even got a very stupid look from Muna.

"I'm going out for a walk" said Muna as she stepped away from her chair.

"Huh, the boy never changed," Luna grumbled annoyedly as Muna actually left the party hall.

"I'm also bored," muttered Dusk quietly but it could still be heard by Luna.

"The two of you are the same," exclaimed Luna annoyed then moved from her chair towards Maya who was overwhelmed to greet the guests.

"Better I go too," murmured Dusk as he stepped away towards the terrace where Lily came out earlier.

"Alley!" call a young woman when Dusk is about to leave her chair.

"Zakila, what's wrong?" tanya Dusk indifferently before taking a quick glance towards the terrace in front of her.

"Where are you going?"

"I want to take a break on the terrace."

"Oh, where are the others?"

"Right now Muna is out to get some fresh air while Luna is talking to Maya there," replied Dusk as he pointed to the other side of the hall where Luna and Maya were.

"Pfftt, I think Muna is now running away from the party," Zakila exclaimed as she held back her chuckle.

"I think so."

"Alright, if so take this." - shouts Zakila as she handed a piece of chocolate cake to Dusk.

"This cake is very delicious, I got it with great difficulty so you have to eat it to the end" Zakila continued, pleased with the strange smile on her face.

"Ah, yes Dusk..."

Not yet had time to finish his sentence, Zakila had been greeted by one of the noble men who was carrying a bunch of roses.

"Hail Princess Zakila, may the light of grace always be with you."

"Greetings young master Derik," Zakila replied calmly and politely.

"Good night princess de Ari."

Now Derik greeted Dusk which from the beginning looks stiff in its place.

"Greetings come back for you sir," replied the twilight indifferently.

"Alright I don't want to disturb you, you can chat now. I retreat first," continued Dusk flat while stepping away towards the terrace.

"Senja, don't forget to finish the cake" exclaimed Zakila before dusk stepped away from them.

Dusk who heard Zakila's words could only stare indifferently at the chocolate cake.

"Miss, this is delicious," exclaimed Ristia as her lips touched the chocolate cream that was what the cake was.

"If you want, take it," said twilight indifferently as he put the cake on the table around the terrace.

"Freshly," muttered Dusk softly as the wind began to touch the skin of his face.

"This place is very comfortable to relax," continued Dusk while closing both eyes to enjoy the atmosphere casually.

A while later Dian came inside the terrace carrying a soft thick blanket.

"Miss, there is a letter from Eza," whispered Dian as she gently placed the blanket on her shoulder.

Dusk who got a short message from Dian then opened his closed eyelids.

"Well, fresh," murmured Dusk before staring at Dian.

"Give me the letter," continued Dusk flatly while holding the quilt of fur on his shoulder.

"This is Miss," Dian said as she pulled out a letter that was behind her skirt pocket.

"Dian, bring me some green tea and some snacks for Ristia."

"Well Miss," exclaimed Dian as she left the terrace.

Twilight then opened the letter from Eza slowly. In the letter it is written that Count Difani kept Amel's family in the dungeon in the middle of the family's forest. The guard there was not so strict that it was easy for Eza to free them.

In addition, Eza also wrote in his letter that Sarah and her servant are currently untraceable while the family of Count Difani seems to be hiding something in the forest.

They were more strict in guarding a lake than the cave filled Amel family. They are also seen casting powerful magic spells around the lake.

The spell looks like keeping what's inside the lake from coming out rather than keeping outsiders from getting inside.

"Very strange," muttered Dusk softly before casting fire magic in his hand.

"Hmm, but my top priority right now is Cavil not the lake" said Dusk, recalling what happened a few days ago at Winter's residence.

"It's a pity that it's interesting but I have to postpone it" continued Dusk then burn the letter after remembering all the information contained in it.
