Moonlight After Sunset's
The Kingdom of Guira Pt 3

"Magic is the soul and where is the heart."

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

"Miss, you must eat before going to bed" Dian said when she saw Dusk lying on the bed.

"Ugh...!" erang Dusk was lazy as Dian tried to pull her towards the sofa.

"I'm tired" grumbled at Dusk just as his body had managed to sit on the sofa.

"Miss, you can eat this snack before dinner arrives," exclaimed Dian who only got a lazy look from Dusk.

The current twilight is bored. He looked at the bed where Kun and Vanilla were fast asleep.

"I wonder why they can sleep all day long when I can't,"

"I'll sleep after this," murmured Dusk softly but it could still be heard by Dian.

"Miss, I'll be out for a while to check if the dinner is ready or not" Dian said before exiting the room.

"It's delicious" murmured Dusk as he stared at the piece of cake he had eaten before.

Moments later Eza returned to the room with a dining train that looked very full.

"Oh wow, this is a lot,"

"Please enjoy Miss," exclaimed Eza then left the room.

"Sadly," said Dusk while holding his stomach that had been filled with snacks.

"Miss, I feel a strange aura around here."

Link Lily while Dusk is waking Kun and Vanilla to dinner.

"What is that aura?" tanya Dusk while extending her hand to Ristia who was still playing on the chocolate cake.

"It's not very powerful Miss but there's something strange about that aura that's like it's rebelling from the pressure."

"Alright I'll catch up with you soon but before that give me the exact coordinates because I'll teleport from here."

"Well Miss," exclaimed Lily as she gave the coordinates of the place where she was now.

"Kun please keep an eye on this area as long as I'm gone" exclaimed Dusk before taking his cape.

"What is your place outside?"

"Yes Miss, what is it going to do?"

"Follow me," shrieked the Twilight while throwing a black robe at Eza.

"And you're Dian, stay here and take care of them," continued Dusk as he glanced at Kun and Vanilla.

"Well Miss," cried Dian before Dusk and Eza teleported.

When she opened her eyes Dusk could see a stretch of dark forest filled with the same strange aura that Lily had talked about earlier.

"What is this Miss?" eza asked curiously just like her.

"I don't know either," replied Dusk indifferently as he stepped his foot into the forest.

"Lily, guide us immediately" continued Dusk just as he had entered the forest.

"Well Miss," muttered Lily who was now above the head of Dusk.

Two hours later Dusk continued to walk in the forest while being carried by Eza.

"It's boring," grumbled Dusk annoyed that since then he had not found the origin of the aura.

"Are you blind now, huh? Why haven't we been here until now?" tanya Dusk was upset, he was now very tired and needed a rest.

Initially Dusk went smoothly until a while earlier he shouted hysterically at the feeling of having been tricked by Lily.

"You said 'patient Miss we'll be there soon', and see now?" grumble of Dusk once again.

"Miss, you're so noisy, we'll actually be there any minute, anyway" Lily replied with a very stupid look on her face.

"Miss is right Lily said, we'll be there soon," eza's timpal who now gets a vexed look from Dusk.

"You are the same, too" grumbled Dusk as he turned his face in annoyance.

"Wait a minute, stop here," continued Dusk in shock as he felt a strange aura that was slightly different from before.

"What's the matter Miss..."

Eza's words were interrupted when Dusk tried to descend from his shoulder.

"There's something strange below" whispered Dusk as he placed his hand on the ground.

"Some are moving underground," he continued with eyebrows that were joined together.

"Lily, look around here if there's a cave or a hole or anything like that."

"Alright Miss," Lily replied as she flew around the area.

"Eza, dim your energy," murmured Dusk still with his hands touching the ground.

"Well Miss," said Eza then lowered the pressure of her aura.

"This aura color seems to be splitting."

"I know and this is so weird."

"Miss, are we going to check?"

"Of course."

"Do I need to bring the others as well?"

"No need, we're both enough for this."

"Well Miss but before that did Miss already eat?" asked Eza with a sudden glance.

"Ah that, that's it. I've eaten before" replied Dusk lying while trying to stay focused.

"It looks like you should eat again after this," Eza replied with a strange smile on her face.

"What's wrong with her? Did he see the empty plate on the table earlier?"

"I should be more vigilant as it seems," murmured a faint-sounding Dusk to Eza.

"Did Miss say something?" eza asked still with a strange smile on her face.

"No, I didn't say anything" replied the twilight stiffly.

"She was very sensitive, only this time I found a man who was so sensitive like her,"

A while later Lily returned with a sour look on her face.

"Miss, I found 2 entrances," exclaimed Lily growled with a sour face.

"What's wrong with you?"

"Miss, it looks like the aura we're feeling is coming from the hostages they're collecting,"

"What do you mean? Are they slaves?"

"Not all of them were slaves because some of them were abductees."

"Gosh, this is creepy."

"Miss, does the Guira kingdom not feel any shortage of its citizens," Lily asked curiously.

"Hmm, if you look at their calm state, it is likely that the slaves are not from this kingdom or that they are completely unaware of what is happening," reply Dusk seriously while thinking about the current state of the Czech city.

"Then what are we going to do now Miss?" ask Eza with his ready hand in his sword sheath.

"Eza go with Ristia to the second entrance while Lily and I will go to the first entrance," replied Dusk then directed his left hand at Eza.

"Miss, are you sure?"

"Just relax, I'll be fine as long as Lily's with me,"

"But before that, Lily made Eza invisible to your illusion magic."

"None right."

"None right."

"And as for you Eza, please control your emotions when you see them later and remember we're here just to check it out, so don't make an insignificant fuss."

"I understand Miss."

"Okay, we don't have much time. We'll meet again here in an hour,"

*****

At the entrance of the Dusk cave could see five guards in combat clothes.

"It looks like they've gone crazy" murmured softly but could still be heard by Lily.

"They've indeed gone mad Miss," Lily replied coldly.

"Huh, this must be hard,"

"Just disable them because we have not much time," continued Dusk when the clock in his hand has shown at 12 pm.

"Have I slept this time?"

"Well Miss," cried Lily then began her illusory action.

A while later the guards were already like undead completely motionless from its place.

"Let's start," exclaimed Dusk as he strode away towards the darkened mouth of the cave.

"Miss! Stop right there," cried Lily through the inner link.

"I know what you think I'm a fool" grumbled at Dusk, looking at the transparent alarm shield in front of him.

"It looks like they're keeping up with this goa."

"You're right Miss and I'm sure there's something interesting in it that they're hiding,"

"It's very easy" said Dusk, who felt strange when the barrier was easily destroyed.

"Are they that weak?" tanya Dusk with an indifferent look of face as usual.

"This shield is strong but since Miss's power has increased, it's easy for you to destroy it."

"It's very dark here," exclaimed Dusk do not like the lighting is so minimal in the cave.

"There will soon be a light, Miss," Lily replied as she pointed straight at the iron door that was 700 meters from the entrance of the cave.

"They're really weird,"

Arriving in front of the iron door was Dusk could feel an enormous foreign energy behind it.

"Miss there are two guards behind this door,"

"Both?"

"Yes Miss."

"Then just disable them and keep them unconscious for as long as possible."

"Well Miss," Lily replied briefly before touching the iron wall with her crest.

"Done," continued Lily then opened the iron door slowly.

"Please come in Miss,"

"Don't joke, let's check and then come back,"

"Sorry Miss,"

Dusk continues to walk into the inside of the glass, the more he enters the temperature around it the colder it becomes.

"Miss, that aura stopped right at the end of the hallway there," Lily whispered excitedly.

"This place is a little strange and cold," murmured Dusk as he followed the direction of the aura Lily had just pointed at.

Dusk can see a large area in the cave and also some strange hallways with different auras as well. Each hallway had a varying length as well as the hallway he now passed.

These hallways are neither wide nor small, they fit for three to four people at once. In this hallway there is also a lighting torch placed every three meters.

"Open this door," cried Dusk who answered a nod of the head by Lily.

Inside the door, Dusk could see several rooms that looked exactly like the dungeon where Amel was locked.

"It's a prison" shrieked the cold twilight as he stepped into it.

"They look so messed up Miss," Lily's great-grandson through their inner link.

"It's very sad" murmured Dusk before approaching one of the prisons.

Dusk can see 4 adult men and 3 women whose age can be said to be around 20 years and above.

"Who are you?" tanya Dusk flatly at the seven of them who had instead gotten a cynical look from them.

"Let us free, you criminals" shouted one of the men.

"You cruelly kidnapped us here, you monster," said the woman whose lips were wounded by a severe blow.

"Huh, I've guessed this must be very difficult,"

"Hey, do I look like them?" ask Dusk while showing his looks who is currently wearing a mask.

" ... "

The seven of them just remained silent while continuing to stare intently at Dusk.

"Then what do you want to come here?" ask the man who had just been silent staring at Dusk.

"Do you want to set us free?" he continued in a desperate tone.

"What are my advantages if I release you?" tanya Dusk lazily.

"Hahaha, you're just like them" replied the woman who looked tired on her face.

"It's up to you, I don't care either" said Dusk flatly.

Basically, the seven people know that the mysterious woman in front of him is very strange, in addition to his striking mask, his way of speaking is also unique.

"We are students of Orange College, our college is not famous but we are very skilled in making drugs that are often used by young and trained witches," the other exclaimed when Dusk wanted to step away from them.

Hearing the word 'Medicine expert' Dusk began to stop his steps and began to listen to what the man wanted to say.

"We came to this kingdom to sell the products of the drugs that we have made, actually not once or twice we made a transaction here but a few months ago somehow we were captured by a bunch of mysterious knights and forced to come here," he continued full of nostalgia.

"Interesting," Inner Dusk held a wide smile on his face.

"Alright, I will release you but there are conditions" cried Dusk cold.

" ... "

They thought for a moment before nodding their heads. At least this time they made the right decision.

"Then get away from this iron" cried Dusk before walking closer to the bars.

Dusk then cast his magic spell to break the magic barrier in the place but who would have thought when the bars broke then there was a sound of alarm that was so loud in the cave.

"Damn, we have to go now!" shouted Dusk who also got a panicked look from the seven people.

Soon Dusk came out of the cave and fortunately with the help of Lily. They had all become invisible so that the soldiers who were running towards the prison that was previously broken by Dusk just passed them by.

"It's a good thing I've hidden my powers before,"

"This child is extremely strong," their inner sevens when looking at the relaxed-looking back of Dusk passed through dozens of fully clothed warriors.

They initially seemed confused as to why the soldiers passed through them unsuspecting but after being explained by Dusk they finally understood what was going on right now.

"We have to be quick because these are just ordinary soldiers not the real kidnappers of you" murmured Dusk softly but could still be heard by the seven of them.

"Well Miss," replied one of them as he sped up his run.

The sound of alarm still continued to buzz in that place even after Dusk and the seven people managed to escape from the cave.

"It must have been very horrendous for them but fortunately the new higher-ups came after we managed to get out," Inner Dusk was relieved when he heard what Lily had just said.
