Moonlight After Sunset's
Election Day

"Holy destiny is now beginning to be etched, new faces and strong desires making it brighter and cleaner."

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

Sunlight began to enter the cracks of the window of the Dusk room. The sound of rain that began to fade was replaced by a cool morning breeze. Now is an important day for all nobles and also ordinary people to see the abilities of those who will enter academia.

"Miss, you should get up soon," Dian walked into the Moon's room while bringing her a bowl of warm water.

The moon that was still comfortable with his dream is now beginning to wake up. Her eyes opened slowly as the sunlight began to highlight her beautiful eyes. The moon uses her right hand as a shield while squinting.

It took him a while until the Moon woke up from his daydream, he needed to collect his life to live this important day.

"Miss, you can wash your face first," Dian then thrust a basin filled with warm water.

Last month he got out of bed and started washing his face. It was already two days ago that Dian became the Moon's personal servant. As for Amel, Moon assigned him as a cleaner only.

There are times when Amel will be used by the Moon but for now if Amel is fired then the Moon will not get anything. The Moon had been getting awkward from Amel's behavior ever since he first came to the Duke's residence.

Amel always chose strange clothes to wear by the Moon. Yes though all the clothes in the Dusk wardrobe are strange - strange but what Amel did was more bizarre and became more severe when Amel tried to provoke the Moon to hurt Arina because her engagement was canceled.

Amel deliberately instigated the Moon because he thought the Moon was Dusk which was easily seduced and deceived. In fact they are both different figures, it is true that the face of the Moon is similar to Dusk but their nature is very far from the opposite.

The moon that grows with the love of his family gets a strong and assertive personality and a calm and graceful appearance inversely proportional to the twilight that since childhood never get love from his father and also his sister until his attitude was more sloppy and tempramental.

Therefore, everything Amel did was predictable by the Moon. Moreover, when the Moon began to tease about Amel turned out that Amel was a man from Sarah to hurt Dusk, at that time the Moon knew that Amel was the enemy in a blanket.

"Prepare my clothes while I bathe," the Moon answered a nod by Dian.

"Tell Amel to clean this place lest there be dust stuck in every corner," he continued as he stepped into the bathroom.

Dian then called Amel according to the orders of the Moon. Dian already knew from the Moon that Amel was their enemy so Dian deliberately always annoyed Amel.

"Get in and clean everything, lest there be a single dust left,"

Amel who saw Dian with a cold and flat face, started to put on a pouty face. He had no idea why his lady had changed so drastically.

Dian then prepared the Moon clothes and cleaned the equipment to be taken to the academic later. He also told Eza to put all the goods into the horse-drawn carriage.

After the Moon finished bathing, Dian then dressed her in a light blue dress with Lily flower carving motif. The dress worn by the Moon is only above the knee.

The end of the dress was in the shape of a blooming rose, the sleeves of the dress were long but split along its base. At the end of the sleeve expands like a flower motif while for the legs, the Moon only wears long socks until the knees are light blue in accordance with the tulip flower motif on the top.

The moon wears light blue shoes that match the crescent Moon carvings on both sides. For the head of the Moon deliberately decorate it with night sky-colored pearls.

While for hair, the Moon only moves it with both ends of the hair next to the ears in the braid and put together with some braids of the middle hair.

Not to forget also a small crown coiled above his head. The crown is a sign that the Moon is the main daughter of Duke Ari. The crown was quite beautiful and shining because it was made from a very rare gem, and in the middle of the crown was a crescent moon symbol and also a small eagle.

After finishing dressing, Moon and Dian immediately walked out of the Duke's mansion accompanied by Eza. Before leaving, Moon had given a message to Duke if he could not take breakfast and would meet him directly at the election event.

Months later ordered his horse-drawn carriage to go immediately to the market. There Moon and his two subordinates entered the black market to retrieve the weapons he had ordered.

The market atmosphere was so quiet because all residents attended the academic testing event. Because this event is only held once a year, then every year is so festive.

When entering the weapon shop, the Moon was already treated to a very extraordinary sight. The sword he ordered was done. The length of the sword was exactly the same as the man's sword at that time, the bow and arrow he ordered for Eza was finished.

"Eza take this," Moon handed the weapon to her knight. Eza was quite surprised to see such a beautiful bow, he did not believe that his miss would give him a bow.

"That's a gift." The next month, he then turned to see Dian who had seen a pair of swords and daggers displayed in the room.

"If you want, take it," Dian was startled, for a moment he looked puzzled, yet quickly returned to his flat expression.

"It was also a gift from me to you as congratulations." Last month they paid for everything they bought.

Dian who got a sword and dagger with a crescent Moon engraving along his lines was quite happy, the same thing happened to Eza as well.

Afterwards, they immediately left the black market for the election because it was time. During the trip, many ordinary people crowded on the outskirts of the road. They with cheerful smiles awaited the testing event.

They flocked to the place with their respective goals. Arriving there the Moon went straight to the place already reserved for the nobles, the place was quite large and luxurious. Honestly, now they are on the podium of the VIP section who can see the testing event well.

There was the Duke and his two concubines and the three sisters of Dusk and Noah. When they saw the Moon coming, the eyes of the concubine Reliza were not happy with Sarah and Arina.

Consorts Amarilis and Bella only see the Moon with a view of killing while Noah as usual. Arina and Sarah wear a pretty fancy dress, especially the magnificent looking hair ornament coupled with a large crown that frames above their heads both.

On this day who will take the election exam not only Moon, his two sisters Dusk also participated in the event. Even though Dusk is the oldest daughter but her birth with Sarah and Arina is only a few months different.

As for Noah, he had been in academia since he was fifteen, the age for academic entry between men and women was different.

The academic that the Moon will enter is named Adeline. In this academic everyone can enter as long as they have the strength and ability both from the nobles and commoners.

The elements are divided into five elements: ice, fire, air, and land and water. For each element there is its own place such as witches, guardians, and knights, besides that not all can enter the academic, only those who are chosen can enter it.

The testing event has already begun by calling each of those who register. Starting with a random name, the first to be called was Marques Winter's daughter, Muna Winter.

When entering the testing area it turns out that Muna has an air element and is placed as a Knight.

"It fits her character perfectly" Moon felt that Muna had talent as a fighter. With a flat face and a firm attitude. Moon was certain that Muna would become a formidable and powerful knight.

The Muna element is known from the testing stone which turned white with the wind blowing around it and now it is Dira De Green's turn.

She is the fourth daughter of the main concubine, Dira who gets the element of fire placed as a witch.

"I didn't expect, it turned out that the Royal family was also tested."

Moon sees the testing of the royal family quite carefully. Participants tested had already started reaching half of those who signed up. And now it's Arina's turn to be tested.

When summoned, Arina arrogantly came to the podium. The Reliza concubine who saw her daughter was quite pleased and glimpsed at Moon with a disdainful look.

Arina manages to enter by getting the element of the land and is placed as a witch. Then go up the two beautiful twins who one wearing green leaf and the other green moss.

The two twins were from the Aruna family who lived in the village across the kingdom. They were named Zakila and Maya. They both get the earth element but are placed in different places. Zakila is placed as the guardian while Maya as the Knight.

Next is the selection of the Vincount Lapedi family followed by Mari Lapedi who got the ice element placed as guardian. Next from the residence of Marques Callira followed by Tasya Callira who got the air element placed as a Knight.

The next participant is Luna De Green who is the child of the royal consort and the younger sister of the crown prince who gets the Fire element placed as a witch.

Next was Peter De Green who was the son of the main concubine, Dira's younger brother who got the ice element placed as the guardian.

Now it is the turn of Sarah De Ari, Sarah entered the podium just like other noble children. Seeming so arrogant and haughty, at the time on the stone podium the examiner turned blue, Sarah got the ice element and was placed as a witch.

After a long time the name of Dusk was called, it seemed they had deliberately allowed it to be the last in order to be humiliated. Everyone in that place knew the rumors about Dusk from the breakup of the engagement to his suicide case.

As the Moon walked closer to the podium everyone stared and sneered at it with harsh words. The moon is strangely calm. Many of the noble children felt the difference from Duke Ari's main daughter.

He who was once frivolous and tempramental now looks graceful and calm. They also highlighted the clothing of the Moon as it was different from that of other noble daughters. The shirt is like a special design just for him.

Not only that, coupled with a sword similar to a spear in his right hand added a graceful and powerful impression to the Moon's appearance. When the Moon climbed to the top of the podium, strange things happened.

White light suddenly came out of the Moon's body, the color of the Moon's hair that was originally black changed to silver with a blend of light blue and a little green added to the impression of a beautiful angel.

A powerful domineering aura emanated from him. There was a graceful aura like the empress and plus a strong aura of intimidation further added to the demonic impression on the Moon. Unknowingly those who witnessed it also bowed as if pressed by a great power.

The testing stones gave off red and white colors and strong winds enveloped the Moon's body. If you notice again the color of the testing stone is also blue which means the Moon has three elements namely ice, fire, and air.

Fire and air were such a powerful force that the ice element was not very visible, but basically the three elements were just as powerful.

"Two elements..., two at a time!" the crowd shouted on the podium.

"How can there be two elements?" ask other spectators to be curious.

"Isn't she the daughter of the queen of the Roses? If true, then naturally it happens," cried the other audience.

"So she has the same element as the queen of the Roses, which is great" said another.

"Today the fifth prince will have a great loss for having thrown away such a fine jewel, what a pity."

Regrets were clearly visible on the faces of the watching people, they felt pity and also jealousy.

"Truely, with those two elements then she will become the number one woman in this kingdom."

Hearing the audience's shouting words made Dira and some other noble children unhappy.

"Female number one? Don't dream,"

muttered Dira in his heart, as well as the same thing happened with the other noble children, not least Sarah and Arina.

The same thing happened three years ago when the crown prince took part in academic testing with results similar to the Moon. The crown prince had two elements: fire and earth and was placed as a knight.

The moon that heard the audience's words pulled the corner of his mouth and smiled. Anyone who saw that smile would definitely shudder in fear. Another pretty special thing is that the Moon can choose where it wants to go and in the end the Moon decides to become a witch.

The emperor and the empress who saw the Moon were curious as to what the girl could do in the future. The imperial concubines were trying to figure out who the Moon really was.

This is done to decide whether they will take the Moon out of academic or not, of course it will be done in secret. The same was also the case with some nobles who wanted to take down Duke Ari's family through this opportunity.

Now the Moon has to face many enemies for her revenge. The moon knew it was difficult but he had already made up his mind. Now the real new journey in the life of the Moon has just begun.

A hidden destiny will open up and new facts about her will soon be revealed. For this reason, the Moon will be the real Dusk, He will keep the Moon in his heart and it will be Dusk forever.
