Moonlight After Sunset's
The Kingdom of Guira Pt 5

"The more it covers, the more it hurts."

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

After his room was checked, Dusk then decided to immediately go to the royal capital of Guira. On the way to the capital, there was a lot of close surveillance at every entrance and exit of every region.

"Miss, I was very surprised this news spread so quickly," exclaimed Eza as he saw so many chariots lining up to enter the next region.

"It is very natural to remember what they have hidden, besides it is very profitable for us because it can blend in with other traders, so that the information that we can will increase," said Dusk with an indifferent face.

"You have a point Miss," replied Eza before leaving the train carriage to the merchant guild waiting for their turn in.

Dusk and Eza were currently disguised as wandering, no one could recognize them because Kun had made a disguise against the two.

"As Dian had said, they were indeed very fast," shrieked Dusk flatly.

"This means that the King is also involved behind this,"

"Hah, I did not expect that this kingdom was also involved in the case of the poor animal," continued Dusk while recalling the Hyena and Tigers Beetle that turned crazy because of the black pearl.

Moments later, Eza returned with a permit to enter the capital.

"Miss we're leaving in a moment" exclaimed Eza as he handed over the documents.

"What did you get from them?" tanya Dusk was curious about what Eza was talking about with one of the merchants.

"They said that in a few days there will be an Academic entrance exam for Lumine."

"So apparently," replied the cold Dusk then told Eza to immediately enter the carriage.

After a long process, Dusk finally managed to escape into the capital of the kingdom of Guira. Along the road Dusk can see many magnificent buildings either small or large. Each building is decorated with street lights that look very luxurious.

"It seems like this kingdom wants to show how rich they are," murmured Dusk quietly but could still be heard by Eza.

"I heard from the traders earlier that the king always made big donations to the people and also the orphanage" Eza replied enthusiastically.

"Ah so, but somehow I feel if they have been deceived," continued Dusk coldly when looking at the eyes of the people who looked empty.

"They're like they've been magic by imaginary magic and strangely this is like it's been going on for a long time,"

"Eza, stop this horse carriage at the hotel fexu later," exclaimed Dusk still continue to pay attention to the surrounding residents.

"Yes Miss," replied Eza then moved towards the coachman to give a message.

"Lily, go investigate what's really going on in this town."

"Well Miss," Lily replied before exiting the window of the carriage that was being opened by Dusk.

****

"Miss, we've arrived" exclaimed Eza after the horse-drawn carriage stopped right in front of the Fexu hotel.

"Please Miss,"

"Thank you,"

Dusk then entered the hotel with a warm welcome from the owner.

"Welcome Miss," she said kindly.

"Can I help you?" she returned with a big smile on her face.

"I've booked a room here before" exclaimed Dusk then took out a letter from his clothing pocket.

"Take me there, immediately," continued Dusk while handing over the letter.

"Okay Miss, please follow me," the servant replied and then guided Dusk to room 04 on the 2nd floor.

"Please enter Miss and if you need anything, please just call me," exclaimed the friendly maid before leaving Dusk and Eza alone in front of the room door.

"Wait here" whispered Dusk to Eza before entering the room.

"Neither Miss,"

Inside the twilight room was already greeted by the figure of a young man who was 3 years younger than him.

"Welcome Miss,"

"Please sit down,"

"How are you?"

"I'm fine Miss."

"Hmm, great,"

"Miss, as you said before..."

The young man's words were interrupted when Dusk looked at him coldly.

"I've read a letter from you, so in short," lirih Dusk still with his look.

"In addition, do you feel that there's something strange about this place?"

"I don't feel anything strange here, they all live in peace, there are no fights, robberies or even murders here."

"Because that's why this place is so strange," replied Dusk while drinking his tea back.

"How can this kingdom live prosperously while the merchants alone always commit vile acts behind the scenes" continued Dusk after putting his cup on the table.

"This kingdom is like hiding something," said Dusk slowly as he looked out the window of his room facing the highway.

"I guessed it that way too. Even among the common people, they did not realize that some of their family members disappeared all of a sudden" the young man exclaimed with a strange look.

"Do I have to re-investigate Miss?"

"No need, your investigation is enough, and now you can return to the guild."

"But Miss, I have not found the whereabouts of Miss Sarah and her personal servant."

"It doesn't matter, because someone will replace you here. In addition, soon this kingdom will hold an academic entrance exam so that the possibility of Sarah present there is very large but..."

The twilight paused his words a little before returning to speak.

"If he doesn't come then I don't care either because right now he's not our top priority."

"Because there's already someone going to go after him here," said Dusk when he saw Terry Cloe's face in front of the hotel building.

"But Miss, I still don't accept." shrieked Sean with his pale face.

"Stop if I say stop. Just follow what I say." exclaimed Dusk which made Sean speechless.

"You and Aslan will take care of this later." continued Dusk while handing over the black pearl he had stored in his pocket.

"Examine very well where the pearl came from."

"Well Miss, I'll step down first."

Sean then went out of the room. At the door he accidentally saw Eza who was standing on his back.

"Good day, have a good day" Sean exclaimed before disappearing from behind the stairs.

Eza who saw Sean's departure just stared blankly at the area before regaining consciousness and decided to go into her room.

"Miss, it's lunch time" exclaimed Eza as she entered the room.

"Alright," replied the lazy twilight.

****

The night in the royal capital Guira looks more festive than during the day. The citizens were still wandering here and there while trading their personal belongings.

"I didn't know prostitution was so free here."

Dazed twilight immediately prepared with his robe before heading out to explore the capital together with Eza.

"Split," whispered Dusk but could still be heard by Eza and soon after they separated naturally.

"Lily, are you sure about this place?" ask Dusk through the inner link.

"Alright, let's start," continued Dusk before entering the capital's famous gambling area.

"I remembered what Eza said about this place" murmured slowly as he recalled the incident earlier this afternoon.

When she finished lunch, Lily flew towards Dusk with a face full of enthusiasm.

"Miss, I have found the biggest money-making place in the capital," he cried excitedly.

"The money-making place?"

"Yes Miss, this place is so big that it's so easy to find."

"Oh, what's his name then?"

"Name is Taron."

"Taron?" reply Dusk that feels strange with the name of the place.

"Miss, do you want to come to that place?" eza asked when she heard the word 'Taron' from her lips.

"Is there something wrong with that place?"

"I was confused to explain it but obviously the place wasn't very good. That place is the biggest gambling building in the city Miss,"

"Ah, so," cried Dusk flat.

"But Miss, you can make a lot of money here" Lily whispered excitedly.

"It might not be a problem to try,"

****

"Miss, what are you thinking? Why not come in?" lily whispered annoyed as Dusk just stood stiffly in front of the entrance of the Taron building.

"God. All right, all right,"

"Welcome Miss," greeted one of the male servants with a friendly smile.

"I'd like to book a private room to play in,"

"Okay Miss, please follow me," exclaimed the waiter as he carried Dusk to one of the VIP rooms located on the second floor.

Arriving there, the maid opened the door in her friendly manner. Inside there Dusk saw some people who were playing cards seriously.

"It looks like we have a new guest" one of them exclaimed.

"Hahaha, a pretty mysterious little girl," shouted a woman who was dealing with Dusk.

Of course, at this time Dusk is using his fox mask so that it is not recognized by others, besides that in this way it will be difficult for predators to disturb him.

"Please begin," the message of Dusk indifferently.

"Hahaha, this brat has big guts too," said the man beside Dusk who had been attracted to him from the beginning.

"Then let's begin," exclaimed the servant who served as the city leader.

A while had passed, they had initially greatly underestimated Dusk but in the end they looked annoyed by his luck.

"Damn, why this boy hockey continues," the inner woman who from the beginning underestimated Dusk.

"Then this is the case, I might go bankrupt," his grunts were unhappy as they glanced at his other friends.

"This time I have to win" he murmured in annoyance.

Dusk who saw the arrogant attitude of this opponent could only laugh, he of course won a lot because there was Lily beside him besides that all sorts of cheating would not be affected by him.

"We'll eat big after this."

Twilight Link on Lily who was smiling happily.

"I want the roast," Lily replied happily.

Now it is the turn of Dusk who installed all its parts, not because he wants this to be quickly completed but Dusk must return soon because the time has shown at 11 pm.

"I have to end it immediately,"

Seeing that all the opponents at the table were shocked, they thought that the girl in front of him was crazy.

"I'll take my money back" muttered the old man who had lost the game.

The old man then put up a huge amount of coins as well as the other two. Long they play, until one by one they fall with a considerable loss, of course this is very profitable for Dusk.

"Done" cried Dusk as he threw his card on the table.

"It's crazy, how lucky this fucking kid is," the woman who's run out of money is playing with.

"Are you playing tricks with us boys?" asked the old man with his face.

"Oho, do I look so bad now?" tanya Dusk did not believe the nonsense they were throwing.

"I think this time Goddess Fortune is siding with me," continued Dusk with her arrogant tone and cold eyes.

"If you lose, it means you're unlucky or you're unlucky." twilight cheeky with a strange smile on her face.

"Huh, shit," cried the young man as he slammed the table towards Dusk.

"Give me my money back."

"Foolish base" replied Dusk unhappy with what he was doing now.

"I don't like this unsportsmanlike way of playing at all, it's very disturbing,"

"Deliver all my money to this account,"

"I'll give you two hours to melt it otherwise I think you and this place will suffer." tweeted Dusk annoyed while giving off his domineering aura.

"I've guessed if this damn brat isn't an ordinary boy," their inner selves were all filled with annoyance.

"I should have just come out by then" they continued, full of regrets.

After that they all came out of the room with annoyance and steadfastness, between being hurt by being defeated by a small child or having suffered a big loss of property.

"I'll melt it soon, Miss." exclaimed the City with a pale face.

"All right, but you're only two hours away,"

An hour had passed but the bookie had not come with the promised money either.

"Miss, did I go bother him and he'll hand over the money?" lily was bored waiting.

"Don't be, there's still an hour left before the deadline."

20 Minutes later the bookie came back with the promised money, after giving the money to the bookie straight out of the room.

"Lily, save this well,"

"Neither Miss,"

When he was about to get out of the room, he smelled a strange smell from inside the room.

"What's this?"

Dusk that felt strange then walked to the door of the room to get out but unfortunately the door of the room has been locked tightly.

"Damn it!" twilight shouted annoyed while closing his nose because the smoke was getting thick in the room.

"Lily, destroy it immediately..."

The word Dusk stopped because the condition of his body was unstable because the smoke continued to increase so much that the air inhaled by Dusk was getting reduced.

"Damn it, who exactly is behind all this?"

Dusk's attempt to escape was in vain because the smoke he inhaled began to react in his body. Slowly the view of Dusk blackened and he began to faint.

"Damn, I will definitely finish you all off later." cried Dusk annoyed before his consciousness completely disappeared.
